It is not a mystery that PC gaming is one of the more expensive avenues of the gaming hobby, one that has gotten worse with the inflated prices of graphics cards due to cryptocurrency. Now, imagine if one could borrow a high-end gaming PC, without the act of physically moving the hardware or taking away that system from a friend or neighbor. This is what LiquidSky seeks to provide a solution for, ...[Read More]
You know, for the most part, I’m a modifier kind of guy. When I had my 5th Gen Honda Prelude, I upgraded the intake, the springs, the ECU, the sound system, and more. When I got my first iPhone, it was jailbroken post haste, and each iteration has been ever since (going on four years, now). When I buy a computer, it comes in individual pieces that I put together to my heart’s content. ...[Read More]
Ever since I was a human child, playing a racing game of any sort would see my dramatically tilting, angling, and swinging my controller around as I leaned into turns and weaved around obstacles and competitors. Now, even as a human spawn, I knew that my wild undulations and swaying had no actual effect…but it totally did, so sod off. There were racing wheels, sure, but they weren’t al...[Read More]
I am the kind of person who appreciates a good headset, especially during the peak of my work year. During the busiest time of the year for my job, I generally have to be out of bed by 5:30 in the morning so that I can get to work by 6:30. I must be quiet as a doormouse to keep from waking my wife, who generally tends to wake up grumpy (sorry, love). On occasion, I get “sick,” and have...[Read More]
As I’ve mentioned, the air quality of the room I spend the majority of my waking, non-working life in is very important to me. I eat in that room, play in that room, relax in that room, and occasionally work in that room. I want that room to be comfortable. I want that room to envelop me and provide me with an unfettered, worry free experience. Purifying the air is part of that. Making sure ...[Read More]
Earlier in the year, I started taking a mile run in the mornings. …Okay, I started taking a mile jog in the mornings. …FINE, I started taking a mile WALK in the mornings. I have bad knees, get off my case, you’re not my mom. Anyway, as a way of making the walk seem shorter, I’d stick my iPhone in my pocket, plug in my headphones, and blast various albums directly into my br...[Read More]
When I’m not asleep, most of the time I spend at home is spent in front of our TV. I may be using the computer, watching TV, playing video games, or watching a movie, but it all happens in one room, from one general location. With a full size PC and two laptops always on and running, and the Xbox 360 spending quite a lot of time active, dust from case fans becomes a real concern. As an avid ...[Read More]
If I could have one wish, it would be to have a fully functional lightsaber of my own design and specifications. Yes, there’s world peace, an end to hunger and homelessness, and the general advancement of humanity…but I REALLY want a lightsaber, y’know? Unfortunately, we do not have the technology now to produce such a wonderful thing. We do, however, have the technology to produ...[Read More]
Mobile technology is an incredible thing. When I went to E3, the only things I put in my messenger bag for appointments and the floor was a composition book and my iPhone (and other basic necessities, like energy bars, water, a charging cable, etc.). Almost all of my photos and videos were taken using my iPhone, but I still had to take most of my notes in the composition book. While the iPhoneR...[Read More]
I am a self-admitted technology geek (among other kinds of geek). As a technology geek, I am a firm believer in the value and necessity of data. Johnny 5 said it best with his oft-quoted phrase, “Need input!” Well, I need input. I want statistical and diagnostic data and information about EVERYTHING. I want to know how my computer is performing, I want to know how my net connection is ...[Read More]
