Making Technology Easy for Everyone
If the future of Destiny DLC looks anything like House of Wolves, I think we're all in for the game we envisioned at the start. I don't want to get too deep into things -- I'll do an official review of the content next week -- but I've found myself pretty pleased with the way Bungie treated this expansion when compared … [Read more...]
I think I’m actually enjoying this. In case you missed last week’s post, I’ve committed to trying out a lot of new games -- around four or five a week -- so that I can experience more than the one game that’s hooked me (hint: starts with “D”, ends with “estiny”). I played four games in the past seven days that I’d never … [Read more...]
If you've tried to jump on Destiny today, you were likely greeted by a large update file. Indeed, Destiny is asking users to download and install a patch, 1.2.0, but this is probably one of the cooler patches you'll ever have to download for a video game. I don't want to get into the nitty gritty about specific fixes, but … [Read more...]
Domino's CEO Patrick Doyle says, "It's the epitome of convenience." I think it's silly. I'm talking about the newest way to order a pizza from Domino's -- via tweet. But here's where things get ultra-weird. You can either send a tweet to Domino's using #EasyOrder... or you can send the pizza emoji. This … [Read more...]
Back in January, I wrote about my video game backlog and how desperately “in the hole” I was. I’m doing a bit better now, thanks to the fact that I knocked out a few of the games on my list (Wind Waker HD, BioShock Infinite, Portal 2, The Stanley Parable). Unfortunately, a significant backlog still remains. My situation … [Read more...]
We're eight months into Destiny, and Xur is finally selling one of the most rare exotic weapons. Before you get your hopes up, no, it's not Gjallarhorn. It's something highly sought after, though -- the mighty Thunderlord. Destiny's Xur is Selling Thunderlord Thunderlord is a high-impact, high-accuracy machine gun that … [Read more...]
Thanks for stopping by for this weekend's edition of the Wrap-Up! Companies in the news this week include Google, Ouya, Microsoft, and Apple. Let's find out why. Google is Buying Patents to Thwart Trolls Patent trolls are individuals/companies that don't actually do anything with a patent; instead, they sue whoever they … [Read more...]
Nearly two years ago, I said that the Ouya could become the next Atari Jaguar. That system lasted about three years. The Ouya, for as much promise as it held, might not even get that far; Fortune is reporting that Ouya has found itself unable to restructure its debt, and as a result, the company needs to "quickly" find … [Read more...]
This may have been a big week for Apple, with the launch of its Apple Watch, but let's be real -- we've known it was coming for weeks now. You can't have news without the word new. Google, however, did manage to make a couple of headlines (for good reasons and bad), as did Microsoft. And Apple did manage to sneak in for a … [Read more...]
I'm a Pebble owner, and I'm content with my smartwatch. It zips notifications to my wrist, and it works with my iPhone. Until now, I haven't seen a clear cut reason to check out the Apple Watch. So it appears Apple is inventing one. According to ReadWrite, Apple just rejected an app from its App Store because it … [Read more...]
