House of the Dead for waking the dead |

Alright, so it’s not exactly House of the Dead, but Bandai has successfully combined light gun shooting with… alarm clocks?!? Releasing in Japan next month for ¥4,095 (approx. US$41), Gun O’clock is an interesting take on an alarm clock, which requires users to bullseye the clock-mounted target in order to shut off that infernal beeping. Particularly eagle-eyed shooters and rock-like sleepers alike will want to use hard mode, in which it takes five perfect shots to shut off. People who just like to shoot things can enable one of several game modes and fire away to their hearts’ content. Personally, I’m holding out for someone to make that House of the Dead alarm clock, complete with a zombie that’ll eat your brains if you don’t wake up and take it out. Nothing short of imminent death can get me out of the bed in the morning.

What’s that gibberish flowing around in there?

I think a link messed up and put in the code instead of just the link.

Hmmm… seems to work fine for me…

Come to think of it though, typing in the yen symbol caused some problems when I was writing the story. again, it looks fine to me, but perhaps that’s the problem. It’s supposed to read “Releasing in Japan next month for (yen symbol) 4,095 (approx. US$41), Gun O’clock is an interesting take on an alarm clock…” Is that the problem you’re seeing?

All looks good on this end as well.
