There is no real way of saying this other than just saying it: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD is a cash-grab. The truth is that Nintendo realized once the Wii U came out that there wouldn't be another Legend of Zelda game for a while, but this is what fans wanted. I've said before how Nintendo just kind of makes its own rules and the fans just follow, but unlike … [Read more...] about Why I like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD for the Wii U

Red Moon and Water on the Red Planet
It really was a big weekend for astronomy. Not only did that big supermoon lunar eclipse happen, but there is confirmation of water on Mars. So what? Well, if we ever have to go there, then we don't have to worry about bringing a big waterbottle with us. Yeah, we are nowhere near that point, at least so we don't need to journey to Mars out of necessity. Apparently, … [Read more...] about Red Moon and Water on the Red Planet

Speculative Fiction Saturday: We finally got around to reviewing Inside Out
Some of you might remember when I spent time reviewing Pixar films, and how I praised the studio for making original films, even though their most recent material has been mediocre and sequels. Inside Out is a step in the right direction, and I have to admit that it is difficult to watch this film without getting emotionally involved. My own feelings on this film are slightly … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: We finally got around to reviewing Inside Out
So What is Wrong with the New Muppets TV Show? Besides the Pilot Not Being that Funny.
Well, it isn't Speculative Fiction Saturday yet, and honestly, I'm not certain I can really count a Muppet film or TV show as speculative fiction. Then again, just check out what I reviewed last week. Anyway, I had a chance to check out the new Muppet TV show, simply known as The Muppets. I suppose that this article is a response to the One Million Moms who released a … [Read more...] about So What is Wrong with the New Muppets TV Show? Besides the Pilot Not Being that Funny.

The 360 Fly takes 360 videos on the…do I need to say it?
What you are seeing here is not a small grenade, but hopefully the TSA will figure that out before there are any Ahmed Mohamed mistakes. This is the 360Fly, and it is a single lens-camera that can capture seamless content at 360 degrees on the horizontal and 240 degrees on the vertical. I've tried out other 360 cameras before such as the V.360, and I'm hoping this one … [Read more...] about The 360 Fly takes 360 videos on the…do I need to say it?
Land’s End is a significantly cool VR game
Some of you might remember a little game known as Monument Valley, and considering that it has been downloaded over 2.5 million times, it's hardly little. The makers of the game, Ustwo, is working on a game for virtual reality known as Land's End. Land's End was definitely inspired by the CD-Rom game Myst, and I'm not going to explain that reference. I've always loved … [Read more...] about Land’s End is a significantly cool VR game
Matias Quiet Pro Keyboard Review

This film is probably one of the most American that I have … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Apollo 13

#IStandWithAhmad and the boy who build a clock, and everyone thought it was a bomb
Sometimes I have to remind myself what decade that I live in. This story has been making its rounds, and I can't believe that this story happened any time one month after 9/11. If you haven't heard the story, a 14-year-old boy named Ahmed Mohamed arrived at school with a digital clock that he built from scratch. He was very proud of it, and it was probably a job with a … [Read more...] about #IStandWithAhmad and the boy who build a clock, and everyone thought it was a bomb
Facebook is getting a “Dislike” button! Thank you?
I suppose that it has been coming for a while, but I think we all thought that stupid "Like" button on Facebook should be given a friend. I'm not talking about the "Comment" or "Share" button, I'm talking about that "DisLike" button. Yeah, just think of all the Internet trolls out there who will be able to express their basic angst on everything that is on Facebook!

The Backwards Brain Bicycle and how the human mind works
This is one of those times where I just couldn't think of what to post today, as I just could find anything tech to write about, honestly. At least, not from my usual sources. I went to church the other day and discovered this video that I thought was just very interesting. It is about a guy who had to learn to ride a backwards bike. Essentially, the bike would go left … [Read more...] about The Backwards Brain Bicycle and how the human mind works
