If you aren't familiar with FIFA, it is one of the biggest sports franchise games ever. Yes, it is bigger than NBA 2K, MLB, and Madden series of games based on basketball, baseball, and football, respectively. I'm not certain how we are looking as far as gender equality is concerned, but there is something new when it comes to video games. FIFA 16 is the first sports game … [Read more...] about FIFA 16 cover will feature women on the cover for the first time

Ashley Madison, the cheater’s site, has been hacked, and here’s my response
I've already written about this issue on the Gospel Herald, another site that I write for. If you aren't family with Ashley Madison, they are a dating website, with a difference: they are designed for those who are married or in a committed relationship. It's tagline is "Life is Short, Have an Affair". I can't think of worse advice. You might have heard that Ashley … [Read more...] about Ashley Madison, the cheater’s site, has been hacked, and here’s my response
“No Time To Explain” is insane game
Since I get an opportunity to test out Steam games every once in a while, it is great to see one that is just plain insane. In this case, the insanity completely works for No Time To Explain. No Time To Explain is a remake of tinyBuild's debut game, and I guess I never played the game the first time. I really wish I had, because this game is a whole load of fun. The … [Read more...] about “No Time To Explain” is insane game
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Legend of Korra
Those of you who might remember my Avatar: The Last Airbender, might remember that I believe that I wished that all series were like that one. My expectations were high when I saw there was going to be a follow-up to the series with The Legend of Korra. This is the biggest problem that I have with The Legend of Korra is I am constantly comparing it to Avatar: The Last … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Legend of Korra
Kensington SecureBack rugged Case for the iPad Air/iPad Air 2
I've reviewed a lot of Kensington products in the past, and the SecureBack Rugged Carry Case for the iPad Air/iPad Air 2 is another one. What you are looking at is some "Maximum Protection", which will have a cushioned layer of rubber surrounding the Apple iPad to protect from drops and bumps. There is also a rubberized texture to make the case easier to hold and … [Read more...] about Kensington SecureBack rugged Case for the iPad Air/iPad Air 2
Odallus: The Dark Call, and Interesting Game
I have to admit that I didn't grow up with Nintendo, as I just didn't own one when I was in high school. I know that shows how old I am, but I remember the Atari 2600. I missed the era of Ghosts'n Goblins, Demon's Crest, and Castlevania, and I believe that Odallus: The Dark Call pays homage to these games. When I played Odallus on Steam, and it is one of those games that … [Read more...] about Odallus: The Dark Call, and Interesting Game
The difference between Marvel and DC’s Cinematic Universes
Okay, when Marvel introduced Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury at the end of Iron Man back in 2008, this was the beginning of Marvel's Cinematic Universe. What happened afterward was somewhat awkward with Iron Man 2, but it introduced us to Thor's hammer. From Thor, there was Captain America, which led to the Avengers. After that, it was Guardians of the Galaxy, with Thor 2, … [Read more...] about The difference between Marvel and DC’s Cinematic Universes
What is up with San Diego Comic-Con?
Okay, I'm going to talk about something that seems to be very geeky. I will also admit that I have no practical experience with it. You have heard me talk about how I have attended various conventions like CES, PAX, and MomoCon, but I have never been to Comic-Con. For those of you who aren't aware, Comic-Con is like the ultimate convention. I have heard some comic-book … [Read more...] about What is up with San Diego Comic-Con?
myCharge StylePower 2000mAh Portable Charger
Of course, I am reviewing another mobile battery, because these things are just that popular. This one my myCharge is the PowerStyle, and it does give the mobile battery some style. It looks like it is made to fit in your pocket, but has a great style. It has a 2000 mAh worth of power, which allows it to be used for about 500 times. That might not be a lot, but if the … [Read more...] about myCharge StylePower 2000mAh Portable Charger
Speculative Fiction Friday: Kingsman: The Secret Service
Okay, I'm not really certain that I can classify this as a speculative fiction film, as at its heart, Kingsman: The Secret Service is a spy-fi film. I discussed when I reviewed The Avengers (the movie based on a British TV show, not the Marvel one) how there is a terrific spy-fi genre that isn't really around now. Shows like The Prisoner and certain James Bond movies often … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Kingsman: The Secret Service
Replay: VHS is not dead Review
I will have to admit that this game was difficult for me, and I'll have to describe it as best as I can. The game is about a man who returns some videos, and there is kind of an eighties anime vibe going on. The woman behind the counter is attractive but gets unkind when customers don't rewind. Anyway, the man has some serious magic realism going on as he gets transported … [Read more...] about Replay: VHS is not dead Review
Anna’s Quest: One of the finest point-and-clicks that I ever played
I have reviewed a lot of point-and-clicks on this blog. I honestly don't want to put the last ones I wrote about, because I just don't want to put links in there. Oh wait, one of them was Dead Synchronicity, which was also by Daedalic Entertainment. I don't know if I was just in a good mood when I started playing Anna's Quest, but I just could not stop playing it on the last … [Read more...] about Anna’s Quest: One of the finest point-and-clicks that I ever played

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Advantageous
I can understand if you haven't heard of this film, as it just came out this year. I can't remember what Source I read, but one said that Advantageous is the best science-fiction movie this year. Once I discovered that it was on Netflix, I decided to check it out for myself. I have to say that this indie film looks bigger than I thought it would be. It is one of those … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Advantageous
