Nov. 27th, 2014: CARLSBAD, Calif. – Razer™, a world leader in connected devices and software for gamers, today announced that the Razer Nabu smartband will be available first in North America from December 2nd on RazerStore and subsequently select retailers.
The Razer Nabu is an award-winning wearable that was first introduced at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in January. The smartband won a “Best of CES” award as “People’s Choice,” besting a field of more than 40 finalists by earning 50 percent of the popular vote during the show. The innovative device delivers discreet notifications from smartphones, is a highly accurate fitness tracker, and stands as the world’s first social wearable by way of a unique band-to-band communication capability.
“The Razer Nabu has undergone extensive consumer and developer testing, all of which is providing feedback toward the final retail-ready device,” said Min-Liang Tan, co-founder and CEO, Razer. “This has ensured that with all the features polished—discreet notifications, fitness tracking, social capabilities and more—the Razer Nabu is a device that has something cool in-store for everyone.”
Since its announcement at CES, the Razer Nabu has had an eventful year: a Beta Program opened to Razer’s most hardcore fans, a Developer Program kickstarted with kits sent out to third-party app developers, partnerships announced with some of China’s largest brands, and Nabu’s integration to Apple’s iOS 8 Health app out of the box, to name a few newsworthy items.
Razer is also announcing today that as a way to give back to fans that supported the Razer Nabu’s development since its announcement at the start of the year, an early batch of 5000 Nabu units will be made available to them for pre-order via Insider, Razer’s newly launched community platform.

November 26, 2014 — Bohemia Interactive today deployed a major title update for their (Early Access) space exploration game, Take On Mars. Highlights of the update include the addition of multiplayer, which enables players to establish the first human colony on Mars in co-op, plus the update implements the first survival gameplay elements.
In multiplayer, people have to work together to build a self-sustaining habitat on the Red Planet. One of the key challenges there will simply be surviving the harsh conditions on Mars. With various vehicles and high tech equipment at their disposal, players will have to manage their resources, construct (pressurized) buildings, grow food, recycle waste, and conduct various scientific experiments. Multiplayer progress is recorded via a unique ‘viral’ multiplayer save system, which means that whenever someone saved the game, the save file is shared with all the players who are connected to the multiplayer session.
Furthermore, the new update also packs a variety of brand new vehicles and equipment, including a drilling rig, atmospheric processor, material refinery, different types of Astronaut suits, a thruster-powered VTOL aircraft, a fork lift, and many new building parts. Last but certainly not least, a new location has been added: the Apollo 17 landing site on our own Moon.
The complete list of highlights from the Take On Mars ‘Survival/Multiplayer’ update:
- Multiplayer
- ‘Viral’ Multiplayer save system (sends save to all connected)
- Pressurized buildings
- Drilling Rig, Atmospheric Processor, Materials Refinery
- 3 Astronaut suits (light, medium heavy)
- Inventory system (can take off suit, equip tools, eat food, and more)

(Los Angeles, CA – November 25, 2014) Ten Thirty One Productions (TTO), the worldwide leader in producing live horror attractions, today announced the return of The Great Horror Campout. The production will begin touring in June 2015.
Kicking off its run in Los Angeles on June 5th and 6th, the production is a 12-hour, overnight, interactive horror camping adventure, unlike any other in the horror themed events genre. The tickets will go on sale on November 28, 2014. Just in time for the upcoming holiday season, the tickets are the perfect gift for your friends and family who enjoy distinctive and one of a kind experiences.
“We can’t wait to unveil the next chapter of Campout which is why we’re turning Black Friday into our Bloody Friday Sales Event which will give campers the most discounted ticket offer of the year,” says Melissa Carbone, CEO of Ten Thirty One Productions. “We are developing a night that is packed with layered interactive content to provide our campers an experience that they will never forget. This chapter will again continue to push the envelope and kill the spectator sport status quo in the live attraction space. Campers will leave feeling like they have been fully submerged in the experience for the entire night.”
“This year’s Campout will be the best yet,” added Carbone. “Our goal is to get campers to go further and further down the rabbit hole. The further they go, the more they engage, the bloodier, scarier, more challenging the experience will get. The content and characters will be unmatched. At it’s core, Campout is just fun where there is something for everyone. Campers can choose their level of scare.”
The Great Horror Campout offers campers to a choice to sleep in two- or four-person tents. Campers can choose their level of engagement when they choose their activities and tent zone. The experience can be an extreme horror adventure or a more mild horror adventure based on preference. Additionally, Hellmasters from previous years will receive VIP status and many perks at all future Campouts and TTO productions.
Tickets can be found at www.greathorrorcampout.com. Tickets will cost $95 per person in a 4-person tent, $129 per person in a two person tent. This pricing is only available during the Bloody Friday sales event.
