Normally, when I get a chance to try out video games, it is for Steam or the PS4, this time, I got to try it out for the Wii U, and I have to say that I was quite pleased with Robot Invader's Wind-up Knight 2 for Nintendo's Wii U. Unity Games recently brought Wind-up Knight 2 to the Wii U, and it was pretty popular on the Android and iOS, and it has an exorbitant amount of … [Read more...] about Wind-up Knight 2 comes to the Wii U

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Batman and Robin, and yes, it is a good movie
I realize that this film is known as being one of the worst ever made, but here is the deal: I actually think it is good. Maybe even pretty good. Sure, there are better Batman films made, and this was the problem with it. The reason why Batman and Robin was so bad might have something to do with the expectations of the audience. The 1989 Batman film was a huge success, … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Batman and Robin, and yes, it is a good movie
Hands on with the D-Link mydlink Wi-Fi Water Sensor
I believe that there is a term for "The Internet of Things" IOT, made to describe any device that is hooked to the Internet to do its job. In the case of D-Link mydlink Wi-Fi Water Sensor, it is a device that is connected to you Wi-Fi network to let you know if you have a water leak. If you have a water heater or pipes that could leak, wouldn't it be good to have … [Read more...] about Hands on with the D-Link mydlink Wi-Fi Water Sensor

The CDR 825 (825E) Drive HD Dash Cam from Cobra Electronics
Considering that cameras are just about everywhere to keep us accountable and hopefully not to begin a Big Brother society. I figure that most people might want a car on their dashboard to record the road, because you might get in an accident and you could use the footage. This is what the CDR 825E from Cobra Electronics is made for. The CDR 825E has an extra wide 140 … [Read more...] about The CDR 825 (825E) Drive HD Dash Cam from Cobra Electronics
Audio-Technica AT-LP60-USB LP-to-Digital Recording System
I'll be honest when I say that the Audio-Technica AT-LP60-USB LP-to-digital recording system is definitely for a niche crowd. I think it is just plain odd that I got into cassettes back in the early eighties, and then when the nineties happened, I was doing CDs. I think that the rest of the world was with me on this, so those who still have vinyl albums will love the … [Read more...] about Audio-Technica AT-LP60-USB LP-to-Digital Recording System

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Into The Woods
I believe that this would be the first time that I reviewed a musical, unless you count Frozen. In this case, this would be a musical in a fairy-tale setting, and it is no surprise that it is from Disney. Into The Woods is probably the first live-action musical that I have reviewed, and I'll start out by saying a few words about musicals in general. Some people just love … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Into The Woods

I suppose that this should be Part 2, as Kris has already written about the PLAYBULB Candle. Today, I'm going to be writing about the BOOMAX, a Bluetooth speaker from the company. I've been reviewing a lot of Bluetooth speakers in the past. Whenever I test them out, I always try and see how loud the speaker is. In this case, it was very loud, and the only time that the … [Read more...] about MiPOW, Part 1, the BOOMAX
Gosh, Part 2: The Cordbox Cable and Power Strip Organizer
Okay, this is the second part of my Gosh product reviews, and I will repeat that this is the company's name. I actually believe it is Gosh! with that exclamation point, so I guess that means that this punctuation is just a part of the name. This is the Cordbox, and the purpose is to hide all of those nasty cords that are cluttering your desk or on your desk. It is … [Read more...] about Gosh, Part 2: The Cordbox Cable and Power Strip Organizer
