Still recovering from the SXSW festivities, Diggnation this week comes from Texas where everything is bigger; tall boys in hand! Check out the first official Digg iPhone app, Roger Ebert's epic jaw battle, a laser seeking mosquito killer, the world's oldest and most expensive single malt scotch whisky, a touching real life image of The Lion King, and Coco fans rejoice! A live Conan O'Brien show is confirmed!
Nearly four years ago, Roger Ebert lost his ability to talk, to drink, and to eat. But, as this interview shows, he has never seemed more alive. Basically, after persistent jaw cancer, Ebert finally had to have his entire lower jaw removed. Through text-speech technology, and reviewing his past dictation, Roger Ebert speaks on - jawless or not!

You're looking at a mosquito who got taken down mid-flight by a "Death Star" laser gun designed by Nathan Myhrvold. The malaria-carrying pest never saw it coming, but you can watch everything happen over and over again in this video. This malaria-seeking laser device targets out the nasty little creatures and terminates them on the spot. Just make sure you don't hum at or around 17KHz and you've got yourself the perfect backyard BBQ companion! Best use of laser technology ever. Aside from Real Genius.

It is older than Chuck Norris and was laid down in a small Scottish distillery the year before the outbreak of the Second World War. A dram of this 70 year old single malt will set you back over $450. That's a glass. For over $400. A bottle is about $15,000. Them scotch drinkers have some ridiculously rich blood!

If this doesn't bring one single tear of nostalgia to your eye… well, that sucks. Reminiscent of Simba and Mufasa (or, Samba, according to Kevin). Alex shares his insight as to why baby animals are so f'ing ridiculously adorable, and Kevin talks about how f'ing ridiculously delicious baby lambs are.

Coco nation rejoice! It’s true! Conan O’Brien has cleared his busy schedule of Twitter brain trusts and dolphin meet and greets to perform a live show in April, fulfilling Megan Mullally’s prophecy that Coco will “have the last laugh”. Taking some tips from Diggnation, eh? The guys speculate as to why Conan hasn't made the transfer over to internet television yet.

Red Steel 2 is a title that is designed around controlling weapons and combating enemies in a way that has never been seen before. From the first swing of the sword to the effortless flip to your revolver… you know you’re in for a wild ride. Red Steel 2 is all about ACCURACY and PRECISION – not only do you have these weapons at your disposal, but you have full control.
The main character, known as The Swordsman, is a member of the "Kusagari-clan", who were almost all killed by a clan called "The Jackals". Now, as one of the last survivors, The Swordsman sets off on a mission to avenge his fallen clan, and begins hunting down the leader of the Jackals, named Payne.
Red Steel 2 is played in a first-person perspective where players can alternate between shooting and sword fighting. Swordplay has been refined with the aid of Wii MotionPlus. Players will be able to fight up to six enemies at a time, and will be able to deflect their opponents' bullets with their sword.Gamers will also have the chance to fully calibrate Wii MotionPlus to their tastes. As the player progresses, new abilities and weapons will be available for the player to either purchase or earn. Gameplay is made special by combos, finishing moves and other kills. Check out this great video demonstrating the gameplay. Available on March 23, 2010!
