I’m not saying we should party like its 1999, because lets face it, this is nothing like the dawning of a new millenium, with the potential of destruction and all that. No, no, but you should indeed party like it’s 2009.

If you thought this decade sucked, just wait, you have a whole 10 more years of suckiness to look forward too. We hope for your sake you have some of the greatest moments of your life stuck in there somewhere between the suckiness. This is Gearfuse signing-off until next year.

Hope you have an amazing transition from the old to the new. Happy New Years from all of us here at Gearfuse.

So as it turns out, scientists might not just be blowing smoke when it comes to all of this global warming hubbub. The average Earth temperature climbed a full 0.2 degrees C, making it the hottest decade on record. And the ’10s are almost certainly going to be hotter than the Noughties, say scientists.

Will the ’10s bring even more environmental awareness than the ’00s? We sure hope so.

Imagine that Star Wars didn’t happen such a long, long time ago, and happened to occur in a galaxy that was much closer than far, far away. Say it happened right here on Earth, in our very own Dubai.

These photos capture some key moments from the Dark Side’s invasion on Dubai, as well as the Rebellion’s attempt at defense.

Since I haven’t been able to save up just yet for any super-comfy furniture, I always have to contort my body into the weirdest positions in order to both be comfortable and see the screen while I play my PS3. Someone walking in on me would think I was performing some sort of kinky solo Kama Sutra.

This awesome PS3 Wireless Visual Interface, designed by Ben Heck protege and forum user techknott, would allow me to sit any which way I desire, without having to worry about my head’s relation to my TV. Basically, it turns the PS3 into a portable handheld console which you can only play within a certain proximity of a receiver. Hit up the naughty little demo video after the jump.

Playing the Mario theme song will never be the same once you’ve plucked it away on the Koopa Troopa Guitar. Now we just need a 1Up Mushroom ukulele and our geeky instrumentation will be complete.

It’s now mandatory for everyone who reads our site to know the Super Mario Bros. theme song. If you don’t, please leave now. Thank you. OMG, PLEASE COME BACK! We were joking of course, but seriously, you should learn it. If you play the guitar, you should at least know how to play the opening line, that’s just how we roll.
