Game Review: Tick Tock Bang Bang
There seems to be a trend these days for breaking the rules of time. For example, the video game Quantum Break allows the player to stop time, and then there is this awesome scene in X-Men: Apocalypse where the speedster Quicksilver rescues people from a building that is about to explode. Tick Tock Bang Bang takes that Matrix effect of slow time and makes a game out of it. … [Read more...] about Game Review: Tick Tock Bang Bang
Our Review of the HTC 10
As someone who has used and enjoyed the HTC One M9, I was very pleased that I got an upgrade with the HTC 10. In case you are wondering, HTC’s newest flagship has a more simplified name, and the change is a complete redesign. Let’s talk about a few changes that were made to the HTC 10. First of all, the charging port is not a micro USB, but the USB 3.1 Type-C. This is … [Read more...] about Our Review of the HTC 10
Bodyguardz Pure Glass for Samsung Galaxy S7 Active

Yeah, that is way too long, so I managed to review the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Bodyguardz Pure Premium Glass Screen Protector. This is one of those products made to prevent the 30 percent of owners who break their phone within 12 months. By the way, the damage is 10 … [Read more...] about Bodyguardz Pure Glass for Samsung Galaxy S7 Active
Our Review of Tick’s Tales
Ah, there is nothing like playing a classic 8-bit RPG, which I have loved since the eighties since my Sierra gaming days. Tick's Tales: Up All Knight (get it?) is from Digital Bounce House and Phoenix Online, and it is kind of a satire of those old games. Yes, there is a lot of moving around and solving puzzles in this game, which is pretty much everything that I love … [Read more...] about Our Review of Tick’s Tales
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Spectre
I believe that this is the first time that I have reviewed a James Bond film, and this is probably cheating. James Bond films are not science-fiction, unless you count Moonraker. However, I recently wrote about how James Bond could be relevant in today's age, and there are some themes in Spectre that have been explored in speculative fiction works, and is a commentary on … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Spectre
OTTO Designworks Tuning System 10 and 11 Speed Cassette
Okay, as many of you know, I receive a lot of stuff to review, and I will have you know that when I opened the product, I had no idea what it is. Seriously, I get a lot of stuff to review, and sometimes I just forget who even sends it to me. I'll be honest and say that unless you know what this is, these products are a big question mark.

Helix Dock for the Apple Watch from Standzout
It has been a while since I reviewed a Standzout product, at least three years. As for an Apple Watch product, it has been about three days. The Standzout Helix is one of the best ways to charge an Apple Watch. You just plug it into the wall, and lay it on top. It has a compact housing that stores up to two meters of the Apple Watch charging cable, which allows for … [Read more...] about Helix Dock for the Apple Watch from Standzout
Our Review of “Crimson Room Decade”
When I sent information about this game, I knew that I had to review it. Crimson Room Decade is about a man who wakes up in a locked room, and he has to find a way out. Considering that I have written a book called The Labyrinth House which deals with a man trapped in a mansion that he cannot escape. So I have a personal interest. The issue is, this game is much harder … [Read more...] about Our Review of “Crimson Room Decade”
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Zootopia
I actually just got around to seeing this film a few weeks ago, even though it was released a few months ago. This is easily one of the best films of this year, and probably one of the greatest animated films of all time. Zootopia is one of those Disney films that is really good for kids to watch, but its moral can really be appreciated by those who are older. This is a … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Zootopia

This is one of those products from Nomad, a company that I will always recommend. Their products are usually chargers and batteries, but these practical products are well-made and stylish. In the case of the Stand for the Apple Watch, this is as "simple as possible". Go ahead and look at the design for the stand. It is just a cord with a strip, with the strip bent at a … [Read more...] about Nomad Stand for the Apple Watch

Today, I received something in the mail that was from France. I receive a few things every week, and this one had Voila on it. It was fitting, as this box was from France, and I was pleased to review the Wistiki Voila. The Voila is one of those devices that you put on your keys or something else that you don't want to lose. All you need to do is download the Wistiki app … [Read more...] about The Wistiki Volia!

There is a secretive company known as Magic Leap which is supposed to be valued at $4.5 billion, and yet the company has not revealed its product. I'm not even certain what it is, but it looks like some kind of virtual reality or augmented reality headset. This is a design patent given for Magic Leap, and it looks like some kind of bike helmet, doesn't it? That, or Space … [Read more...] about Magic Leap Patent Filed?
