MOAR plastic!   I get that it’s there for protection, they were just such chunky watches (that I loved).

You want the king of worthless bezels and pointless extra LCD screens I present to you my favorite wristwatch in middle school. The G-Shock in all it’s cluttered glory. (the picture isn’t of mine, I buried that thing a long time ago and I suspect it will come looking for me one day like Cujo).

Finally! After all these years we have the technology to make PONG into a hand held... for two people to play?

True, but the silver linings are getting a bit threadbare at this point.

To be fair though, I’ve pet Cerberus in “Hades” enough times that I got the achievement ages ago and still will go give him a pet when I’m returned to starting point after each death.  I’m convinced he’s a good luck charm at this point.

I live in an old apartment with a 1970's style oven.  I looked up some reviews on air fryers and most the reviews said it’s not really worth it if you already have a convection oven.  Anyways, I picked one up that’s basically a nice toaster oven.  The key thing for me is that it takes very little time to heat up the…

I loved SHMUPs as a kid, and I think my first Darius game was bought at a local video rental place it was in their bargain bin for like $4.99.  So I picked up Darius Twin for the SNES and it became one of my favorites like UN Squadron, Gradius and R-Type.  I picked up the Darius collection on steam a few years back…

It is Disney, so it’s about time Marvel properties hit the sequel-itis of 90's direct to video Disney animations that nearly broke the brand. I present to you... Guardians of the Galaxy 4: Space Mountain (Direct to Video), all the main characters have been replaced with knock off actors that kind of resemble the…

I blame the Pit Fighter arcade game. Seems like that was the first to try to digitize actors into a fighting game or as something beyond a cut scene. I suppose it did pave the way for some pretty awesome games though. I think they used a very similar technique to copy 3D models and animations into sprites for the SNES…

At the small Rexall (Prescriptions/Crafts/electronics) store in my small home town in Juneau Alaska they had a NES behind the counter with a small TV playing SMB2. I was in 3rd or 4th grade at the time and super excited about the new mario game having played through SMB and spending hours finding as many of the little…

Okay, I’m familiar with Lithium for super low power electronics that need to run for years on end. Carbon Zinc might be a new one to me and now I’m off, down another rabbit hole to learn about carbon zinc batteries.

I put my cards on Google Pay and only carry one card in my wallet for the occassion I run into a place that doesn’t have an NFC reader.

I bought a Xbox 360 at launch. It red ringed in the first six months or so. Took MS a few months past that before they believed it to be a problem and began the red ring program to return your red ringed for a freshly repaired system. The first took months before I got the replacement in the mail. Two months of using…

I chuckled when I saw an actual tree as the “skill tree” for D4. As I saw a few others say, Blizzard isn’t the Blizzard it used to be, so I’ll take a wait and see on Diablo 4. I’ve loved the series since I was a kid playing the first one half terrified sitting in a dark rec room. Diablo 3 almost broke me at first…

Well if they’re an axe murderer I assume no one would notice a little red chipotle stain with all the blood everywhere.  It does make me wonder what the dress regs are for axe murderer’s, do they get casual Fridays?

I pay about $150 month for my cable modem via GCI (Alaska, USA) 500MB down / 25MB up with a cap of 600GB a month. I live by myself and can hit 400-500GB a month without much effort a few Steam game updates, maybe I treat myself to a new game whose download will run 20-100GB and windows updates and a few streaming…

Change the form factor of that brick to an eye dropper and watch it print money for the company that markets and sells it!

I’m kinda surprised that RedBull or RockStar weren’t the first to push a downer drink to fall asleep at night after drinking stimulants all day. Well, guess we’ll just have to call it the suburban speedball, Pepsi’s Mountain Dew and Driftwell.

Oh you wont be waking up to pee in the middle of the night. Which is why there’s Pepsi adult diapers now!

By turning bandwidth into a commodity it’s yet another thing they can charge for. I live in Alaska, USA and I’m paying for a higher tier of access (500MB Down & 25MB UP) and I only have 600GB a month for bandwidth.
