Today's film that I am reviewing is one that you can watch in the YouTube video. It is a Ghostbusters film, but it isn't the reboot. Just to let you know, I did review the 2016 reboot, and you can read that review here. By the way, I liked it, and don't think it was worth the hate it received before it was released. It is not as good as a film as the 1984 Ghostbusters (like … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Ghostbusters 3, not the reboot, but the game
Our Review of Dex: Enhanced
It's pretty obvious from this image what Dex is supposed to inspire. It is that genre of speculative fiction explored in works of William Gibson, where the future has been taken over by corporate conglomerates, and technology has gone wild, if not haywire. Dex, named after the main character in the game, is a really interesting mix of a game. The game seems to be a … [Read more...] about Our Review of Dex: Enhanced
Our Review of Mech-Action Assault Suit Leynos
Okay, here's an interesting game that I believe will be loved by those that love older games. In fact, Assault Suit Leynos is based on a legendary classic 16-bit series for the Sega Genesis known as Target Earth. Assault Suit Leynos uses the science fiction convention of a mech. You know those giant robots that humans control on the inside? You can to actually be in … [Read more...] about Our Review of Mech-Action Assault Suit Leynos
Penclic Mini Keyboard C2B
So, I have had a chance to review another Penclic product, and this time, it is the Mini Keyboard C2B. I'll start by saying that it is what you are expecting, a compact, soft touch, and portable keyboard. This product has the tagline of "Your desk will thank you. Your fingers will too." The desk is thankful because it takes up less space, clearly. So why are the … [Read more...] about Penclic Mini Keyboard C2B
Mobi Ultra Pulse DualScan is a doctor’s tool you can have
I'm going to say that I had to include two images of this product so you can see what it looks like. If I used the one below and to the right, you might think it is a Bluetooth headset. The fact is, this is the DualScan Ultra Pulse from Mobi, and like the headline says, it is a doctor's tool that you can buy. What does it do? A better question is: what doesn't it do? … [Read more...] about Mobi Ultra Pulse DualScan is a doctor’s tool you can have
Pokemon GO Sweeps Nation
At this point, I don't know if I even need to report on Pokemon GO. You can just go out to a park and see people on their smartphones, looking to find some Pokemon that they can capture. I have been reporting on Pokemon GO since its announcement, and I saw its potential from the get-go. I thought that only fans of the franchise would be playing it, but it is affecting 65 … [Read more...] about Pokemon GO Sweeps Nation
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Sin City Series
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
