The Daily Engadget: Gears of War Played on 160-Foot Screen, Stephen Colbert Unveils Ex-Xbox
Our friends over at Engadget obsessively cover everything new in gadgets and consumer electronics, which is why we compile this daily roundup of their top stuff (or, at least, what we think is tops). For more details on any of these stories, click on the Engadget links in each story below.

Gamer's Paradise: 'Halo' on Cowboys Stadium's 160-Foot Screen
We're willing to bet your home theater setup has nothing on the 160-foot HD screen at Dallas's Cowboys Stadium. Sure to inspire fits of gamer lust, it was recently hooked up to an Xbox 360 and used for some 'Gears of War 2' and 'Halo' action. Engadget has the video.

Colbert Unveils the 'Microsoft Ex-Xbox'
Sick of hearing about Microsoft's Project Natal and how it'll revolutionize your gaming experience by getting you off the couch? Maybe you'll like Stephen Colbert's Ex-Xbox, a gaming system that exists only in your mind.

DIY Virtual Reality Gun Game Looks Fun, Dramatic
An enterprising gamer hacked together a toy gun, LCD screen, and gyroscope-equipped mouse. How's it work? the gyroscopic mouse decodes the real-world movements of the toy gun, so, as you point the toy gun up, the gun in the game also points up. Don't miss the video of the overly-dramatic creator showing off the mobile-gaming monstrosity, called the "PC VR Game Gun."

Large Hadron Collider to Be Down Through September
There's been plenty of doom and gloom surrounding the Large Hadron Collider and how it's going to cause a black hole that'll consume the Earth. If you listen to folks that actually know what they're talking about, that's apparently unlikely. But it's also unlikely that it'll be back online before October.
