I had a really great chance to try out Whispering Willows, and I tried it out for the Wii U. Is there any reason why I said "Whee" in the title? Not only did I want to complete the alliteration with "W", but the game is a lot of fun. Now, this is a game that I don't think is supposed to be "fun" per se, as there are a lot of parts of this game that are pretty serious. … [Read more...] about Whispering Willows on the Wii U…Whee!

Somebody’s Prayers are Answered as Playboy will no longer have Nudes
I don't think I have ever talked about anything pornographic here on this site, even though some of the films that I reviewed on Speculative Fiction Friday contain some sex scenes and possible nudity. Personally, I believe that there might be a place for pornography, but it should not be with those who are lonely for real love and embracing the fake. All right, I'm … [Read more...] about Somebody’s Prayers are Answered as Playboy will no longer have Nudes
Beyerdynamic MMX 300 Premium Gaming and Multimedia Headset
Well, I have reviewed Beyerdynamic products, and they are quite good, as you can see from my review of the Beyerdynamic MMX 102 iE and iDX 120 iE Earbuds. To say that the MMX 300 Premium Multimedia Headset is excellent is obvious, because it was originally developed as a headset for private aviation. So it is got that working for it already. Yes, this is designed for … [Read more...] about Beyerdynamic MMX 300 Premium Gaming and Multimedia Headset
Is Pepsi working on a P1 Smartphone?
When it comes to tech, there is a lot of rumors that go around, and I will have to say that Pepsi creating its own brand of smartphone isn't the strangest. There is some interesting rumors saying that the Pepsi P1 smartphone will be announced in Beijing on October 20th. If this is true, then the Pepsi P1 will feature a 5.5 inch screen with 1080 x 1920 FHD resolution. On … [Read more...] about Is Pepsi working on a P1 Smartphone?
Speculative Fiction Saturday: CHAPPiE
Lately, I've been told by people at home that I get a little mean-spirited when I get critical. So when I see a film that I don't really like, I can really get terrible about my criticisms about it. In the case of CHAPPiE, I'm going to say that I am going to give it thumbs down, but I am going to swear that I am going to say good things about what I believe this film was … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: CHAPPiE
Facebook could switch to Reaction Emojis
As many of you are aware, Mark Zuckerberg has been thinking about adding a "Dislike" button, but it isn't made for things that you don't like. It is actually made for situations where someone posts that their aunt dies or something, and you don't look like a sadist for clicking "Like" on that. There is a possibility that Facebook could have options that you see in the … [Read more...] about Facebook could switch to Reaction Emojis
Skyhill Video Game: Survival by Point and Click
A while ago, I received an email for a Steam Code for a game called Skyhill. I receive a lot of Steam Codes per month, and I have reviewed a lot of games. I found myself liking this game, and the reason why I like it is because I wasn't certain what it was about. The game begins when a man checks into a hotel, and he is told that his room is safe from infection … [Read more...] about Skyhill Video Game: Survival by Point and Click
Masimo MightySat with Bluetooth LE & PVI
It has been a while since I have reviewed a Masimo product, and part of that is because the company makes a lot of high-quality medical products that aren't available for typical, non-medical consumer use. Similar to the iSpO2 Pulse Oximeter, the MightySat Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is made for those that want medical fitness information on hand. Yes, there are people who … [Read more...] about Masimo MightySat with Bluetooth LE & PVI
Soft Case from FUZ Designs
I've reviewed FUZ designs products before, like the Dock for the Apple Watch. I had a chance to review a FUZ Designs product for another Apple product with the Soft Case for the iPhone 6/6S. It is pretty easy why it is called the Soft Case. It feels soft to the touch and made with precision-cut polyurethane that is squeezable. The website describes it as "the Apple … [Read more...] about Soft Case from FUZ Designs
Kolibree Can Claim It Is The Smartest and Most Elegant Toothbrush
I think that that best term that I can use to describe the Kolibree toothbrush is "gamification". That is, that if there is a way to do something, someone has to make a way to put points on it so you can keep doing this. I suppose that one of the most mundane things in the world is brushing your teeth, so why not have a method of making you do something. The Kolibree allows … [Read more...] about Kolibree Can Claim It Is The Smartest and Most Elegant Toothbrush
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Divergent, the Book and the Movie
I have a little rule that I don't always keep. If a film is based on a book, I will try to read the book before I see the movie. I did this for several films that I have seen, and Divergent is a film that I saw a day or so after I finished the book. The biggest issue that I have with Divergent is it seems part of a genre among young adult fiction that has grown immensely … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Divergent, the Book and the Movie
The OGIO Ascent and Apollo Backpacks
Since we are getting into the holiday season since we started the month of October, it is time to think about gift ideas. I'm thinking anything by OGIO for a young or old active professional is good, and the Active and Ascent Packs would be a great big gift under the tree. I'll go ahead and start with the Apollo. It is a laptop backpack with a "streamlined" design for … [Read more...] about The OGIO Ascent and Apollo Backpacks
The Google Pixel C, the mystery tablet coming soon!
I'm sure you already know about the big announcement that Google made concerning some new devices, the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, not to mention the new Chromecast and Chromecast Audio. However, something really funny happened at the end of the presentation as Google decided to just show off the Pixel C. Let me put it this way: I was writing about the Google event, via a live … [Read more...] about The Google Pixel C, the mystery tablet coming soon!
Why I like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD for the Wii U
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
