No Zelda Wii U Game until 2016?

March 31, 2015 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

All right, I will never forget that post that I did where I suggested that Nintendo's days were numbered. This was back when the biggest thing they announced was the 2DS, which was shortly after the release of the Wii U. So far, things have not been looking good for the Wii U, but it helps to have Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart. Of course, I think we all know what … [Read more...] about No Zelda Wii U Game until 2016?

Review of Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One, coming soon to a theater near you by Steven Spielberg

March 30, 2015 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Ready Player One

Last week, I decided to break down and read Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline. If you have never heard of him, don't feel too bad. He wrote a movie called Fanboys which celebrates geek culture, kind of like I do. His first book celebrates it just as well. I will have to say that I first heard of Ready Player One while reading about it in Time Magazine. At first I … [Read more...] about Review of Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One, coming soon to a theater near you by Steven Spielberg

“Village Idiots” spark selfie outrage

March 30, 2015 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Selfie Village Idiots

Some of you might remember when we reported on that girl in a bikini who was taking a selfie, and I didn't just report that because I thought some bikini girl would get more hits. Today, there is another issue with selfie that I would like to write about. This one took place in New York City after what looks like a gas explosion in the East Village destroyed three … [Read more...] about “Village Idiots” spark selfie outrage

Christians in the Arts Issue 5: Can the arts really change the world?

March 28, 2015 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I’ll go ahead and summarize what I have said before: 1) Christians should not flinch away from putting violence, sexuality, and profanity provided it serves the story. 2) A theme of a Christian work should not come off as preachy, as it only comes off as propaganda. 3) Avoid usage of the Deus Ex Machina, as it makes the writing come off as lazy, even though the Christian … [Read more...] about Christians in the Arts Issue 5: Can the arts really change the world?

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Bojack Horseman

March 28, 2015 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

bojack horseman exclusive trailer debut bghe

Okay, I'm going to conclude this month of modern Speculative Fiction series with a series that isn't really speculative fiction, but I have watched it twice. In all honesty, I'm just writing about it because I like thinking about it. Bojack Horseman crosses a line, and this is not because it is an adult-oriented animated show. Yes, this has been done before as South Park … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Bojack Horseman

Christians in the Arts Issue 4: What are you getting out of it?

March 27, 2015 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Today, I want to talk about a reason why some Christians avoid the arts: most stories are not doctrinally or biblically accurate. As I have mentioned in my last section, an author or creator of a work is essentially playing God, and therefore can do different things that God doesn’t do. So if you want to make a world full of dragons, you had better have a decent reason. … [Read more...] about Christians in the Arts Issue 4: What are you getting out of it?

Sony planning a live-action Robotech film series

March 27, 2015 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

sony robotech 640x373

It has been a while since we reported on Robotech, and the last time was when it wanted a crowdfunding. Since then, that crowdfunding project has been cancelled, but Sony is planning to make a live-action movie, and more than one of them. If you are not familiar with Robotech, it was an animated series from Japan that was imported to America around the mid-80’s. It was … [Read more...] about Sony planning a live-action Robotech film series

Christians in the Arts Issue 3: Deus Ex Machina

March 26, 2015 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I’ve heard several different pronunciations of this term, but I believe that it translates to “god from the machine”. This is a term used to describe a plot device when gods, supernatural events, or characters suddenly show up with little buildup within a story and resolve the main characters’ problems, instead of the characters solving their problems themselves. If you … [Read more...] about Christians in the Arts Issue 3: Deus Ex Machina

My Review of Slender: The Arrival

March 26, 2015 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Slender the Arrival

Okay, something that I am going to talk about in my Christians and the Arts serious is spirits, and how Christians will detect a "bad spirit" about something and avoid it completely. I can honestly say that I could use this judgment on Slender: The Arrival, but I really think it is worth looking at. In case you are wondering where the title comes from, the game has … [Read more...] about My Review of Slender: The Arrival

Christians in the Arts Issue 2: Themes vs. Propaganda

March 25, 2015 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

One of the saddest legacies of Christians in the arts is Left Behind, a title very descriptive of Christians in the arts today. The book series certainly made a lot of money in the mainstream and Christian market, so it was only a matter of time before someone decided to make it a movie. The problem is that the film is essentially a cash-grab, a way of making money based … [Read more...] about Christians in the Arts Issue 2: Themes vs. Propaganda

The Greatest Case, a Kickstarter project that needs to live up to its name

March 25, 2015 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

The Greatest Case

Yes, I have reviewed a lot of cases on this blog, and I think it is interesting that someone has made one known as The Greatest Case. So what can I say, is it really? Well, it has lot of competition with Otterbox, Lifeproof, and other names associated with protecting ones mobile devices. Perhaps what makes it interesting is why it is the Greatest Case. Here's a clue: … [Read more...] about The Greatest Case, a Kickstarter project that needs to live up to its name

Christians in the Arts Issue 1: Violence, Nudity, and Profanity in TV, movies, books, etc.

March 24, 2015 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

In case you are wondering, I started this blog to really discuss technological issues and how they intersect with Christian thinking. Lately, I have wanted to discuss certain elements of them in this five-part series. This is an obvious “elephant in the room” issue when it comes to how Christians can view secular works. It is pretty apparent that much of what is accepted … [Read more...] about Christians in the Arts Issue 1: Violence, Nudity, and Profanity in TV, movies, books, etc.

Our Review of Grapple, a Puzzle Platformer Game

March 24, 2015 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Grapple

Some of the best video games are the simplest. This Grapple, a Puzzle Platformer developed by Tuesday Society and published by Midnight City, has no complex backstory, no big end-goal, just jumping from platform to platform. The player of Grapple is this small ball of black goo. Yeah, I don't know how to describe it any other way. Actually, I can. Take a piece of … [Read more...] about Our Review of Grapple, a Puzzle Platformer Game

The NomadKey, NomadClip, and NomadPlus from…Nomad!

March 23, 2015 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Nomad Key

I had a chance to try out three Nomad products from Nomad which includes the NomadKey, NomadClip, and the NomadPlus. I'll go ahead and start with the NomadKey, even though I have done it before with the Nomad ChargeKey. The ChargeKey is essentially a charging cord, but very, very short. It is made of "high-grade polycarbonate from Bayer and a stellar rubber elastomer … [Read more...] about The NomadKey, NomadClip, and NomadPlus from…Nomad!

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Psycho-Pass

March 21, 2015 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Psycho Pass

Since I have been writing about television shows this past month, I thought I would continue to watch them and write about them for the rest of the month. Fortunately, a Netflix subscription gives you access to shows that I never heard of, so it behooves me to watch them. I could a chance on Psycho-Pass, and I am glad that I did. I am not a big fan of anime series, even … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Psycho-Pass
