Okay, I admitting that I am totally cheating on this one. Lately, I haven’t been going out of my way to search for any intriguing speculative fiction. I mean last week I did Zathura, for crying out loud. Today, I’m going to do a film that is kind of one of my favorites. And it still works, twenty years later. This film is probably one of the most American that I have … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Apollo 13

Our Review of the Audiofly AF78M
I have reviewed products from Audiofly before, such as the AF56m and the AF45. So, I was quite pleased when I had a chance to try out the AF78M. The AF78M comes with Hybrid Dual Drivers with some well-defined response to mid and low frequencies. It has some foam ear tips to mold to the ears so you are going to have some great sound in your ears. Did I mention that … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Audiofly AF78M
#IStandWithAhmad and the boy who build a clock, and everyone thought it was a bomb
Sometimes I have to remind myself what decade that I live in. This story has been making its rounds, and I can't believe that this story happened any time one month after 9/11. If you haven't heard the story, a 14-year-old boy named Ahmed Mohamed arrived at school with a digital clock that he built from scratch. He was very proud of it, and it was probably a job with a … [Read more...] about #IStandWithAhmad and the boy who build a clock, and everyone thought it was a bomb
Facebook is getting a “Dislike” button! Thank you?
I suppose that it has been coming for a while, but I think we all thought that stupid "Like" button on Facebook should be given a friend. I'm not talking about the "Comment" or "Share" button, I'm talking about that "DisLike" button. Yeah, just think of all the Internet trolls out there who will be able to express their basic angst on everything that is on Facebook! And … [Read more...] about Facebook is getting a “Dislike” button! Thank you?
PlayStation’s Project Morpheus changes its name to PlayStation VR
Okay, I'm going to make this short and sweet, as I did not have time to do a post yesterday. There isn't really much to say, really, as at the Tokyo Game Show Sony announced that they will rename their PlayStation Project Morpheus VR device PlayStation VR. Why would they do this? Well, to corner the market on VR, of course! Well, we are seeing a lot of VR headsets … [Read more...] about PlayStation’s Project Morpheus changes its name to PlayStation VR
The Backwards Brain Bicycle and how the human mind works
This is one of those times where I just couldn't think of what to post today, as I just could find anything tech to write about, honestly. At least, not from my usual sources. I went to church the other day and discovered this video that I thought was just very interesting. It is about a guy who had to learn to ride a backwards bike. Essentially, the bike would go left … [Read more...] about The Backwards Brain Bicycle and how the human mind works
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Zathura
I have to admit that when Zathura came out, I saw that this was made by the creators of Jumanji. Without going into detail about Jummanji, I will have to say that I liked it. It had a cursed board game that was able to make interesting jungle things happen in the real world. The Zathura story is about a board game that can make space science-fiction things happen in the real … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Zathura
Review of the Republique video game
I have to say that I've never played a video game like Republique, but I probably should have. I guess the best way I can describe this game is action/stealth, but it is better just to describe what the player is doing. The game takes place in some dystopian world that looks like 1984, but more modern. Yeah, I'm sure that that a lot of people might not get that … [Read more...] about Review of the Republique video game
Our Review of AR-K: The Great Escape
There is nothing like doing a review of a point-and-click game from Steam, and this one of AR-K: The Great Escape is a good one. Before I go any further, I just want to say that this game is not related to ARK: Survival Evolved. I got them mixed up as I was getting press info on both o them, and maybe we will have to do that ARK review some other time. I get the feeling that … [Read more...] about Our Review of AR-K: The Great Escape
Sword Coast Legends brings Dungeons and Dragons back to the video game arena
While I was at PAX Prime, I did something that I hadn't done in over twenty-five years: play Dungeons and Dragons. I have mentioned before how I quit playing simply because I just grew out of it here, but my Christian friends would surely not approve me starting D&D back without at least a lecture. But let's focus on the here and now, as I have no problem with anyone playing … [Read more...] about Sword Coast Legends brings Dungeons and Dragons back to the video game arena

G920 and G29 Driving Force Gaming Racing Wheels from Logitech
Well, as many of you know, I went to PAX Prime last week, and I am still getting over it. As I had a chance to stop by Logitech's booth, I was pretty impressed with their Driving Force technology.

SEIDO Part 2: CAPSA (Galaxy S6), SURFACE (Galaxy S6), and DILEX PRO (Galaxy Note 5)
Okay, I now that covered some SEIDIO products for Apple, today it is SEIDIO Android day. This is the day we cover the CAPSA for the Galaxy S6, the DILEX PRO for the Galaxy Note 5, and the SURFACE also for the Galaxy S6. Let's start with the CAPSA, and I have no idea why it is called that. It is a good case for enclosing the Galaxy S6 for protection, but not from water. It … [Read more...] about SEIDO Part 2: CAPSA (Galaxy S6), SURFACE (Galaxy S6), and DILEX PRO (Galaxy Note 5)
