WalkCar - A new electric mobile transport that fits in your laptop bag


A new competitor will soon enter the electric mobile transportation market.

WalkCar from Cocoa Motors promises the world's smallest electric car that can fit in a laptop bag. Similar to the latest 2 wheel scooters like the IO Hawk, Phunkeeduck, or other self balancing smart scooters the WalkCar is controlled by the users weight.  The WalkCar has an aluminum shell and 4 wheels which makes it easier to stand on.

Currently, the WalkCar is a prototype. Cocoa Motors plans to introduce a kickstarter on October 2015 to crowdfund a consumer release sometime in 2016. It is estimated to sell for around $800.

Stay tuned for more information about their Kickstarter and future release.

Destiny Red Bull will cost $5.33 for Two 12oz cans


Red Bull will soon sell Destiny edition cans exclusively at 7-Eleven.

Prices have been revealed for these Red Bull cans. One can will cost $3.49 or a deal for two cans can be had for $5.33.

Red Bull cans will be phased into the current stock from June 22-30 and by July 1, all Red Bull cans should be the Destiny limited edition cans.

You'll have to buy a can of Red Bull to unlock a quest in Destiny's The Taken King DLC


Destiny, a game developed by Bungie and published by Activision recently announced their next DLC named The Taken King. Players who purchased the first two DLC will have to rebuy them in order to get the Legendary edition of the DLC if they want new emotes. The emotes have not been revealed but most are expecting new dance moves.

Today, Activision has announced a partnership with Red Bull.  Players now will have to buy cans of Red Bull if they want to unlock an "Epic New Quest" in The Taken King.  The Red Bull can will also come with a bonus XP code for a 50% gain in xp for a 30 minute period.  XP codes can be used starting July 1, 2015.  The new quest will be available once The Taken King is released on September 15, 2015.

Players who thought they needed to pay only $40 or $80 for the new DLC to get the complete update will be very disappointed.  The Red Bull Quest is only the first partnership announced by Activision to generate more income from their Destiny franchise.  Can we expect more partnership announcements? Based of Activision's other properties, we think there will soon be a Doritos munch for more fun quest and a Mountain Dew climb the King's Throne quest with bonus super buffs.

The Destiny Edition Red Bull cans are sold exclusively at 7-Eleven in July.

More information on how to redeem the code can be found at Destiny Red Bull Quest.
