Bioshock Infinite, which came out 38 days ago, is both a critical darling and a commercial success. Our bleep bloop brethren at Kotaku love it.

Rare High-Speed Footage Of the Earth Exploding
May 02, 6:04PM
Hollywood visual effects artists are still the masters of making entire planets explode in an awesome fashion, but that doesn't make this high-speed footage of a desk globe detonating any less fun to watch.

Breitling Emergency II: A Satellite Distress Signal On Your Wrist
May 02, 5:39PM
Breitling's original Emergency watch first launched back in 1995 and was able to broadcast a distress signal on the 121.5 MHz analog band allowing ships, planes, and other vehicles to track it. But if your approximate location wasn't already known, it made locating the signal a bit tricky. So Breitling is introducing an upgraded version of the watch—the Emergency II—that adds the ability to send a distress signal to satellites circling overhead, so no matter where on Earth you're lost, you can be found.
