Well, there is nothing I like more than playing some Steam Games, and Fenix Rage, from Green Lava Studios, is quite addictive. Fenix Rage is a 2D action platformer which has a similar kind of play that I have seen before, I just can't think of the name. The game is about beating a level by getting a character from point A to point B, in the least amount of time. This is … [Read more...] about Fenix Rage from Green Lava Studios
Microsoft to purchase Minecraft maker Mojang
I guess this is one of those articles that I just "had" to write, but chances are, you probably already heard about it. So, here it is: Microsoft has bought Mojang, creator of Minecraft. If you don't know what Minecraft is, all I have to say is: where have you been? My kids are into this game that allows for building all kinds of things with 1 x 1 blocks. In all … [Read more...] about Microsoft to purchase Minecraft maker Mojang
Fortified Game from Clapfoot Games
This is again a review of a game that I saw at PAXPrime 2014, but it is sadly not out yet. Now the company that makes it, Clapfoot Games, makes several other games like Hero Forge, Sector Strike, and Tank Hero. Fortified is a game that I want to play because I love retro-futurism. I think this word describes anything that is kind of a mix of what we thought the future … [Read more...] about Fortified Game from Clapfoot Games
The Acer hybrid Aspire R 13 Convertible Notebook
Last week, Apple's big announcement sort of eclipsed all kinds of other big announcements from tech companies. I might as well take the time now to cover the Acer Aspire R 13 convertible Notebook. I am assuming that this is some sort of new type of device, and it has an Ezel Aero hinge that can rotate its 13.3 inch screen into a twelve different positions. One of those … [Read more...] about The Acer hybrid Aspire R 13 Convertible Notebook
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Teen Titans, without the “Go”
As I said in my last review, I'm going to review some of my favorite animated series. I have decided to do one that I first hated, but it got better as it improved. Like most super-hero shows, Teen Titans is based on a comic-book. The concept behind the comic book was essentially putting famous super-hero sidekicks in one group together. The leader of the group was … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Teen Titans, without the “Go”
How I love me that Oculus Rift, and what games are coming
Okay, if everything went right, you should be seeing a video of me two weeks ago at PAXPrime, when I first had a chance to try out the Oculus Rift. If you don't know what the Oculus Rift is, don't feel too bad. I have written about it many times on this blog, and so if you just enter in "Oculus Rift" in the Search engine, you'll find at least three articles about it this … [Read more...] about How I love me that Oculus Rift, and what games are coming
Motion Display Checkout Divider
I said three days ago that Apple's Pay could change everything, and it certainly has the potential to change the way we pay via smartphone. Now here's another device that could change the way we pay. You know that plastic bar that you use in the grocery store? The one that blocks other person's load of groceries so you don't pay for his or her stuff? Well, imagine that … [Read more...] about Motion Display Checkout Divider
Fantasia: Music Evolved game coming to the Kinect
As I talked about with the death of the iPod Classic, it seems like every tech era comes to an end. Take the Age of Music gaming, which probably came to a close this year with the end of Music hero downloads. I believe that Disney and Harmonix intend to bring music gaming back with Fantasia: Music Involved. I had a chance to play this game at PAXPrime 2014, and as far as … [Read more...] about Fantasia: Music Evolved game coming to the Kinect
A Second look at the Une Bobine
I'm going to just out and say that I have reviewed this product before, and you can read that one here. However, in the light of Apple's new announcement, which I will be talking about for a while now. I suppose that the newest version of the iPhone will not require a new charger, because they didn't change the connector port like they did when they went from iPhone 4 to … [Read more...] about A Second look at the Une Bobine
The iPod Classic says Good-bye
"One life ends, another begins". Yeah, I took that from Avatar, and I definitely think that it applies to Apple. I'm guessing that the company made one of their big announcements ever with the Apple Watch. Lest we forget that Apple was having its own troubles, but much of that changed when the iPod hit the market. Remember how this invention changed...everything? Yeah, … [Read more...] about The iPod Classic says Good-bye
Olloclip is now for the Galaxy S phones now!
I think you all know that I love me some Olloclip products. It seems like whenever I think I have seen it all from them, something new comes my way. In this case, this might be the first one for a non-Apple product that I have reviewed. In fact, it is for the Galaxy S5, which is now my personal smartphone. The Olloclip for the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a terrific way of … [Read more...] about Olloclip is now for the Galaxy S phones now!
Skech Crystal cover for the iPhone 6
Well, after all the excitement over the Apple announcement of the iPhone 6, amongst other things, it stands to reason that I would be writing about accessories sooner or later. I'm surprised that I have an accessory before I can have access to the actual product. The Crystal case for the iPhone 6 is totally transparent, but it has a "dual material combination" even though … [Read more...] about Skech Crystal cover for the iPhone 6
Reassembly, a video game where you build spaceships
As I mentioned in my last review of Drew and the Floating Labyrinth is PAX month, and so I will report about games that perhaps you have not heard about. The game Reassembly from Indie Voyage is one of them. Reassembly is a game that is a mix of old-school and "current school" gaming. You know how Minecraft allows its users to build a world with 1 x 1 blocks? In … [Read more...] about Reassembly, a video game where you build spaceships
What Apple announced today
We all knew that Apple was going to announce something big today on September 9th, and we thought it was going to be the new iPhone and the iWatch. So what did they announce? It started off with Apple saying they had lots of products (plural) to report, and while they had a new smartphone and smartwatch, it was not quite what expected. Apple began with the new version of … [Read more...] about What Apple announced today
Drew and the Floating Labyrinth, a game with invisible levels
I suppose that I could call September "PAX month", because I will be covering all kinds of video games that I learned about at PAXPrime last week. I intend to spend each day covering at least one type of gaming-related article, and much of the source material will be something that I learned at PAXPrime 2014. Today, it is Drew and the Floating Labyrinth. If you haven't … [Read more...] about Drew and the Floating Labyrinth, a game with invisible levels
