Get Your Very Own Kanye West Body Pillow for $1,500
Yeezus himself has been immortalized as a luxury item.
A group of Kanye West fans have banded together to create a full-sized Kanye West body pillow they intend to deliver in-person to the rapper. Since they don't know his address, the team has launched a Kickstarter campaign to garner attention and hopefully meet with West to present him with this unique honor.
"We. Love. Kanye...more than life itself. So we made a pillow in his likeness, to lose ourselves in Yeezy's fluffy embrace day and night," the Kickstarter reads.

Tesla Model S P85D Review
Stories of the all-electric Tesla Model S P85D’s spine-jarring acceleration are definitely not exaggerated. While viral videos showing the glee and/or terror of passengers being rocketed from a standstill to 60mph in 3.1 seconds by the new all-wheel-drive, dual-motor variant of Tesla’s flagship sedan adequately convey the rush you get from stomping on P85D’s accelerator, I’ll leave it to the raw, unbridled honesty of a child to sum it up best. Whenever my four-year-old daughter, safely and very securely strapped into her car seat in the back, gave me her permission to “go fast,” her response every single time was, “Whee!” accompanied by a look of pure delight that melted my heart. If I could afford to write Tesla a $125k check to cover the fully loaded P85D they’d loaned me, they’d have never gotten the car back.
How to Make Money in No Man’s Sky
"We want trading to be fun. We want it to be understandable, because already the game’s already quite large," says Sean Murray, co-founder of Hello Games and the one of the lead architects behind No Man's Sky.
In the video above, which contains lots of new footage, Murray explains in greater detail how the economy of No Man's Sky works. Players can acquire resources from the planets they visit, and sell them at planet-based trading posts or space stations in orbit. Elements found on the surface of a planet can be 'crafted' to create more valuable 'products' which can be sold. Another way of making a profit would be to take a particular element to another part of the universe where it is less common and, therefore, more desirable to traders in the region. Players can share information about the planets they've visited, including which elements are particularly abundant.
DC Reveals Three More Arkham Knight Toys

Each of the Series 3 figures will be priced at $25, with an expected release date of February 2016.

Microsoft Cutting 7,800 Jobs as it Restructures Phone Business
Microsoft has announced it will be cutting around 7,800 positions globally as part of a restructuring to its phone hardware business.
A post on the company's website explains the decision has been taken following the acquisition of Nokia's phone business last year. Microsoft is also writing off $7.6 billion following the purchase - it's worth remembering the original purchase of Nokia cost $7.1 billion.
The majority of the job losses are presumed to hit the mobile department as it's the only one mentioned, yet it's not clear if other arms of the business will be affected too. Last year Microsoft announced the layoff of 18,000 staff - it's unclear if today's news is part of that, or in addition to it.

Disney Infinity 3.0 will release on August 28 in the UK, and August 30 in North America for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Wii U.
For those who don’t know, Disney Infinity 3.0 is all about Star Wars. This year’s starter pack comes equipped with the Star Wars Twilight of the Republic play set, a copy of the game and the base to transport figurines into said game, a web code for mobile content, and two figures: Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker.
Fans who pre-order a copy of the Disney Infinity 3.0 starter pack, the special edition, or the solus software ahead of release will nab themselves the new toy box takeover game piece free of charge at select retailers. It’s worth noting toy box takeover can be played online with up to four players, or locally with two.
The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna Expansion Announced
Devolver Digital has announced an expansion for The Talos Principle, called Road to Gehenna, will launch on July 23.
The expansion adds four episodes to the title, containing some of the most challenging puzzles yet. Road to Gehenna sees you return to a hidden part of the simulation as Uriel, Elohim's messenger, and attempt to free trapped souls.
Late last year it transpired that users who obtained an illegal copy of the PC game were in for a surprising punishment.
The Talos Principle released on December 11 on Steam, and is coming to PlayStation 4 sometime in 2015. IGN's review for The Talos Principle praises the game for its "strong puzzle elements" and "heady philosophy."
Peanuts Movie: Snoopy’s Grand Adventure Game Announced
Activision has announced The Peanuts Movie: Snoopy's Grand Adventure will be released on PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, Xbox 360 and 3DS on November 6.
The side-scrolling platformer is being developed to release alongside the upcoming The Peanuts Movie, which is also out later this year.
Gameplay will revolve around Snoopy tracking down Charlie Brown and other Peanuts characters in an elaborate game of hide-and-seek. As he traverses various different worlds, Snoopy will uncover costumes based on his various different guises from Peanuts' 65 year history, each of which will imbue him with unique skills, like the ability to fly.
Co-op play allows a second gamer to jump in as Woodstock, distracting foes and opening new paths in a manner that seems similar to what we've seen in recent Rayman games.
Batman: Arkham Knight Batgirl DLC Trailer and Story Revealed
Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for the upcoming Batgirl DLC set to be released for Batman: Arkham Knight.
The DLC, titled Batgirl: A Matter of Family is set before the events of Arkham Asylum and marks the first time gamers have been able to take control of Batgirl in the series. It's worth noting the DLC is made by Arkham Origins developer WB Games Montreal, not series creator Rocksteady.
"When The Joker kidnaps Commissioner Gordon and holds him hostage at the Seagate Amusement Park, Batgirl and Robin must fight against the odds to save him and avoid falling victim to The Joker's sinister plan," reads the official synopsis. "Trained by Batman, Batgirl's combat combines with unparalleled hacking abilities to take down enemies, control objects and solve puzzles."
