Someone built a working PC out of lasagne

The art of PC building is something entirely lost on me, to the point that even though my home computer is crying out for more RAM and a new graphics card, I'm terrified to touch the interior in case I mess it up. For YouTuber Micah Laplante, however, that's clearly not a concern, as he's managed to build a working PC out of pasta.


You can check out Laplante's efforts in the video below (via PCGamer). Sadly, making actual components out the carby wonder is obviously impossible - for this particular project, those had to be donated from an old Asus notebook. Having disassembled that machine, he placed the parts on a bed of uncooked lasagne sheets attached to one another with hot glue.


Another layer of lasagne, a few licks of paint, and a lot of glue later, and the Lasagne PC was complete (here's how to paint your PC case if you fancy customising it as some other pasta dish). Sadly, there's no ground beef or tomato sauce attached to this particular recipe, but I hear those tend to play havoc with your GPU.

Tune Your Ride with Neo Tokyo: Aftermarket Decal Packs

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h2]As Night Falls, the Streets Come to Life[/h2]

Welcome to the underground world of Neo Tokyo: Aftermarket. While most of the population lives comfortably with their daily drivers, the car culture of Neo Tokyo has always craved something a bit more bold.

Custom is king in this neighborhood, and many local tuner shops have designed their own Decal Packs for Dingo, Breakout, Fennec, Dominus, and Octane. With exotic materials and eye-catching artwork, these Items can transform your ride into the drift car of your dreams.

These streets are yours, now go and take them. Neo Tokyo: Aftermarket will take place from March 20 to April 3!



[h2]Aftermarket Decals[/h2]

Building your perfect ride takes time, but Neo Tokyo has something for everyone… IF you know where to look. New Item Packs will hit the Aftermarket Item Shop Tab every two days, with the Fennec Tokyo Decal Pack leading the charge on March 20.

Many of these new Items are inspired by the sights and signage of Neo Tokyo itself. Dig into the Bob’s Ramen Fennec Decal, or show love to our favorite long-eared DJ with the Buffy-Sugo Dingo Decal! Octane, Fennec, and Breakout will turn heads with their new neon-lit Huntress versions of the MG-88, Nitty-Gritty, and Turbo Decals, while Dominus welcomes the dark mode Shinjuku Decal.

A few Packs also come with new Megafrost and Ultraheat Decals. These shiny wraps give a color-shifting, metallic feel that morphs depending on which angle you see it. You’ll also be able to pair these flashy Decals with new Multichrome, Radiant, and Infinite Items!

Got your eye on something specific? Many of these Items will be rotating through the Featured Shop for individual purchase.

Not everything needs to be a Pack, and these Items stand alone. The Neo-Viral Jäger 619 Decal mixes dark and bright designs, while the Danpa Masamune Decal features an animated “Dance Party” ticker and octogirl graphic. For the finishing touch, add a powerful pop of color with the Ultralex: Radiant or OEM: Infinite Wheels!

Rocket League Season 10 launches March 10 - adds game mode wait timer and other limited-time features

Rocket League season 10 is coming out on March 8, bringing the Volkswagen Golf II GTI to the game alongside a selection of new in-game changes.

Perhaps the most useful of new additions is an average wait time counter — which lets be honest doesn’t sound very exciting. However, it’ll give players a good idea of just how populated certain game modes are, which will save time otherwise wasted. That time can be spent in the lab, practising air control, something scrubs like me should take advantage of.

That new car, the Volkswagen Golf II GTI, will be available in the seasonal pass. Alongside it is a variety of cosmetics and other rewards that’ll fit into the theme of the season. Owners of the premium pass will be able to get their hands on an upgraded version of the car: the Volkswagen GTI RLE.
