When I first heard that they were making a Supergirl series, my first thought was "why". Supergirl is one of those characters that has been reworked many times over the years, but this isn't uncommon among superheroes. However, Superman, Batman, and Spider-man have very consistent origin stories, but Supergirl has changed a number of times. It is interesting to see that … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The CBS Supergirl Show

Our Review of the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 640 3LCD Projector
I have reviewed an Epson Projector before with the PowerLite Home Cinema 3000, and I was pleased to review the Home Cinema 640. I was pleased that the Home Cinema 640 was very easy to set up, and it can produce images of up to 300 inches. I wish that I had a wall in my house that could support a 25 foot diagonal. The Home Cinema 640 has 3 LCD Projects with up to 3x … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 640 3LCD Projector
Our Review of The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing Final Cut
You can see by the unnecessarily drawn-out title of this game that it is just so full of awesome. At least, it is trying to be, but I will have to be the judge of whether or not it succeeds with this review. The issue is that The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing Final Cut is actually a trilogy of 10 hour campaigns with various multiplayer modes, and it has sold over 1 … [Read more...] about Our Review of The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing Final Cut
Betamax is officially dead; Wait, wasn’t it dead already?
I mentioned in my article about the BlackBerry Priv that I am often surprised that certain tech companies still exists. Today, the Internet was all abuzz that Betamax is now dead. Seriously? I mean, I barely remember Betamax from the early eighties, as an alternative to VHS. This was back when VCRs were beginning to be in everyone's house, and this was essentially a … [Read more...] about Betamax is officially dead; Wait, wasn’t it dead already?
The Priv: Can this Android Phone Save BlackBerry
There are certain companies that seem like they shouldn't be around like Nintendo and now BlackBerry. It looks like BlackBerry Priv is an Android phone that could change that. Apparently, BlackBerry has to sell 5 million of these in order to stay in the consumer handset business. It has a screen that slides up to reveal a keyboard, which is kind of passe when it comes to … [Read more...] about The Priv: Can this Android Phone Save BlackBerry
Is James Bond Relevant Today?
Now that Spectre is out in theaters now, this has left people with mixed reviews about James Bond. Normally, I talk about movies over the weekend, but these are speculative fiction films. I will have to say that I like James Bond, sometimes, and James Bond can be pretty speculative sometimes. I think the question we have to ask ourselves is why James Bond has last over … [Read more...] about Is James Bond Relevant Today?
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Top 9 Best and Worst Star Trek DS9 Episodes
Well, what can I say about Star Trek? This was the fourth series, and it was meant to spin off from Star Trek: The Next Generation, with one minor crew member joining the cast, and a major crew member joining later on. This was Star Trek's effort at doing something new. The idea was that the action would take place in a space station and not a spaceship. In this case, … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Top 9 Best and Worst Star Trek DS9 Episodes
PuzzlePhone is on Indiegogo
Generally, I usually avoid writing about crowdfunded projects, but there was something about the name of Puzzle Phone that I liked. It sounds like the perfect smartphone for The Labyrinth House. Yeah, if the Puzzle Phone wants to promote itself, then so will I. Anyway, the Puzzle Phone is modular piece of equipment that has three easy-to-change modules. These modules … [Read more...] about PuzzlePhone is on Indiegogo
The Warcraft Movie Trailer does not mean someone has actually made a good video game movie yet
Well, if you aren't familiar with how we do trailers now, we start with a rumor of a trailer, then a teaser trailer, and then one last one, possibly with another one. And if you can get the hype flaring more with an unknown release date, then I'll always have a job on The Gospel Herald. But hey, enough about what else I do for a living. Let's talk trailers. Yeah, I'm … [Read more...] about The Warcraft Movie Trailer does not mean someone has actually made a good video game movie yet
Our Review of the Mini LifeJacket 2
Well, it has been a year since I reviewed any product from Altec Lansing, with the LifeJacket last year and this year, the Mini LifeJacket 2. I will have to say that the LifeJacket 2 is a mini Bluetooth speaker that is a worthy mini-version of its predecessor. The Mini Lifejacket 2 is also IP67, which is waterproof/dustproof/shockproof and it floats. As I have had a … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Mini LifeJacket 2
Tenba DNA 13 Messenger for DSLRs
I have to admit that I have stopped by Tenba's booth every time that I have been to CES, but this would be the first time that I have ever reviewed one of their products. This Messenger DNA 13 Bag is made to hold a mirrorless camera with 4-5 lenses or a DSLR with 2-3 lenses, plus flash and accessories. The Messenger DNA 13 Bag is made for those who are on the road like … [Read more...] about Tenba DNA 13 Messenger for DSLRs
SALT Self-Defense Gun
I'm not certain why someone wants to make this SALT gun, but I have to admire that someone made a non-lethal gun. Of course, it looks like this looks like a gun. The SALT has a chemical powder to create a toxic cloud on impact, which can incapacitate anyone in the vicinity. The issue is that the creator has rethought the gun by rethinking the bullet. The best part … [Read more...] about SALT Self-Defense Gun
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Corpse Bride
Well, since it is Halloween, it stands to reason that I should review some film that looks like it is Halloween-related in some way. I probably could have selected any horror movie, and I could have also chosen The Nightmare Before Christmas from Tim Burton, but I decided to do a less-remembered film known as Corpse Bride. This film showed up on Netflix, and I had … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Corpse Bride
Why my book “The Labyrinth House” Looks so much like “The Maze Runner”
Okay, I have written a book known as The Labyrinth House and it was published in 2014. The issue is that it bears a strong resemblance to a book out now, a bestseller that is also a movie called The Maze Runner, which was published in 2009. I’m going to say that I am not at all upset with James Dashner (author of The Maze Runner), and I don’t think this is a case of … [Read more...] about Why my book “The Labyrinth House” Looks so much like “The Maze Runner”
Where We Rant about “Sexy” Yandy Costumes, just in time for Halloween!
Well, I've been hearing a lot about these "sexy" costumes, and many of them come from Yandy. Yeah, I put a link there, I understand that many of my readers are Christian, but if you don't think you should click there, don't. There's an example of Yandy's work, and that is technically not a sexy Finding Nemo costume, it's a "Crazy Orange Fish" (it's one of the more tame … [Read more...] about Where We Rant about “Sexy” Yandy Costumes, just in time for Halloween!
