This is one of those times where I am cheating and writing about something that isn't really speculative fiction per se, but I have some good reasons. 1) Sin City is based in a graphic novel, which are prime speculative fiction inspiration. 2) Most Speculative Fiction words should be as creative as this film. 3) Sin City is hopefully not a realistic depiction of any real … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Sin City Series
Game Review of Super Mutant Alien Assault
It's very difficult to come up with a new game in this age, and it is pretty clear that Super Mutant Alien Assault is meant to be an homage to video games rather than something original. However, I'm trying to compare it to something, and I'm coming up short. I have to admit that the title of Super Mutant Alien Assault sounds like it is supposed to be a parody of … [Read more...] about Game Review of Super Mutant Alien Assault
Our Review of the Beyerdynamic iDX 200 iE Earbuds
Well, hey, I don't think it would be even proper of me to say bad things about Beyerdynamic, as they are the champions at making some fine audio products. Needless to say, I am very pleased to try out these new earbuds with the iDX 200 iE. These are some pretty great looking earbuds in a market that is very crowded with them, and the cans in the ears are nice and metallic … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Beyerdynamic iDX 200 iE Earbuds
Our Review of the iKlip A/V
Well, we have talked about iKlip A/V before, upon its initial release. I mentioned in that article how easy it is for anyone to create some high-quality video now, and the iKlip A/V is made for those who want to have their own video channel and take it on the road. As you can see from the picture here, this newscaster is being shot on video with a smartphone. It is one … [Read more...] about Our Review of the iKlip A/V
Game Review of Tumblestone
I believe that this game just went live today, so I can review it. I have had a chance to review it early on Steam, and it is quite interesting. Tumblestone is a great game if you are interested in those Match 3 games. You know, like Candy Crush, Bejeweled, and such stuff like that. I was personally addicted to one called Sugar Smash, that was a deliberate rip-off of … [Read more...] about Game Review of Tumblestone
Leap Frog Learn and Groove Musical Mat and Leap Start Learning System
Leap Frog is one of those companies that has a pretty good brand going on. You can associate the company with educational toys with a technical twist. I'm going to be reviewing two of their products today, one for the very young and one for a little older than that. The first is the Leap Frog Learn and Groove Musical Mat, and it is a mat about 4 feet with ten buttons on … [Read more...] about Leap Frog Learn and Groove Musical Mat and Leap Start Learning System
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Finding Dory
This one isn't really speculative fiction, but I take great comfort in the fact that Pixar's films for over two decades have involved using computer graphics to create very real stories. In 2003, Pixar made what was probably the biggest movie of the year with Finding Nemo, and brought fish to life in a way that was never seen before. And sadly, it was imitated terribly in … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Finding Dory
Dallas Shooter was Killed by Bomb-Equipped Robot
This is not a good time, as there have been some serious terrible things going on with shootings. I mean that Orlando Massacre happened a month ago, and in the midst of all that, there has been some serious bad action going down with two African American men shot by police in Louisiana and Minnesota. Now, a peaceful protest in Dallas resulted in a shooting, with 5 officers … [Read more...] about Dallas Shooter was Killed by Bomb-Equipped Robot
Yosh Waterproof Case
Okay, it seems like all of our smartphones are going to be waterproof one day. This means that soon you will be able to take them swimming, and not worry about the phone getting ruined. Until then, use the Yosh. The Yosh is this simple bag that keeps your smartphone safe. Perhaps it is better than a Ziploc bag that Officer Hopps used in Zootopia when she had to flush … [Read more...] about Yosh Waterproof Case
D-Link AC3150 Ultra Wi-Fi Router Review
Okay, I have reviewed a lot of routers in the past, and I'm starting to get used to setting them up. It is something that I never look forward to, because it is never fun to set up stuff when it can screw up that which you know works. Still, if you can make something work better, it is worth the time to do it. Such is the case for the AC3150 Ultra Wi-Fi Router, and it … [Read more...] about D-Link AC3150 Ultra Wi-Fi Router Review
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Independence Day (1996)
Okay, I probably should be reviewing Indpendence Day Resurgence, but I actually did that already on The Gospel Herald. In case you haven't realized this week, I've been a bit lazy with my posting. So, I decided to review Independence Day, a film that I will have to say is a B-movie, and it seems like the creators knew this. The issue is that it dealt with an alien … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Independence Day (1996)
The Fireflies Audio Wireless Earbuds
I will be covering another one of these Kickstarter projects today, and this one I feel is going to be a standard-setter. As you can see by the video, it is about wireless earbuds, and I am not certain whether these Fireflies are the first of their type. The issue is that I believe that I saw two companies that have created some wireless earbuds. It is a product that I'm … [Read more...] about The Fireflies Audio Wireless Earbuds
There Might Be a New Dungeons and Dragons Film, But Will The Church Stop It?
I'm going to be honest with you and say that I'm using this source about a new Dungeons and Dragons movie to talk about something else. I honestly don't really care about a new Dungeons and Dragons film, but you can read the Source here if you do. I'll go ahead and spoil it and say that Warner Brother seems really interested in it, for some odd reason. The reason why I … [Read more...] about There Might Be a New Dungeons and Dragons Film, But Will The Church Stop It?
Skinit Waterproof Case for iPhone 6/6S
I have reviewed a lot of interesting waterproof cases in the past, and I will have to say that this one from Skinit is more affordable than something from Lifeproof. The Skinit has an impact-resistant shell case that will protect from drops, bumps and falls. Yes, any case will do that, and aren't cases required for iPhones since that iPhone 4 problem? Yeah, I don't hear … [Read more...] about Skinit Waterproof Case for iPhone 6/6S
Speculative Fiction Saturday: X-Men Apocalypse
I have to admit, I came into X-Men Apocalypse, not expecting to like it. I mean, I didn't think it would suck, but this is the sixth film in the series, so I guess I am wondering how much life is in this series. In fact, I could compare the X-Men series with another popular series that 20th Century used to own with Star Wars. The original X-Men was a hit, and it opened the … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: X-Men Apocalypse
