The Elements of Gadgets and Gaming
I’m sorry miss, but your PS4 is in a coma. I’m afraid the only thing we can do is pull the plug. Seem’s Sony’s launch of Firmware 2.0 isn’t going as smoothly as planned. PlayStation fans have been taking to social media to complain about one odd new feature. Once the PS4 goes to sleep,…
I don’t understand the hubbub around these iPhone launches. Each year, Apple releases a new device that’s slightly faster than the last one. Yet people still go crazy. The iPhone 6 is no exception to that rule. Today’s keynote came with very few surprises. The new iPhone 6 will come in two models. A vanilla…
A piece of news that should surprise absolutely no one, Nintendo has confirmed the new New 3DS will be region locked. In short, if you import a game from Japan, it will refuse to work on your North American system, and vice versa. Nintendo has faced harsh criticism for their region locked policy. Both Sony and…
I’m sure you’ve probably all heard about “The Fappening”. Dozens of nude celebrity photos were leaked onto the internet by some asshole who hacked iCloud. We’re all assholes for looking at them too. Myself included, since I’ve been a big advocate for online privacy over the years. I’m tempted to release my own nudes in…
It must be that time of year again. iPhone 6 rumors are coming hot and fast, so that must mean it’s getting close to another keynote. This latest one has to do with how much memory it will have, or lack there of. Apple, as always, have been very tight lipped about what will actually…

A lot of PC gamers are keyboard and mouse purists. Though it’s a control scheme that doesn’t always make a lot of sense. A controller will always be better for third person action games and side scrollers. Basically anything that benefits from a solid d-pad or smooth analogue movement. So what’s the best controller to…
Only two weeks left of summer. Parents are gearing up for back to school, so the last thing on stores’ minds are video games. We’re actually quite light on deals of the week. Mostly older games on our roster. Might as well grab the hits you missed at a much lower price. Amazon.ca Zoo…
I’m convinced Proteus has a hidden brilliance to it. Yet perhaps I am not smart enough to find it. It’s one of those art house projects that tries to bend the very definition of what is a game. I’m just not sure it succeeds in that goal. It starts by setting you down on a randomly…
Dan Alderman, Nintendo’s indie outreach specialist, has announced that he will be leaving the company. Seems he’s not leaving on the best of terms either. Alderman had been banned from Twitter by his employers last year for sympathizing with gamers over Nintendo’s region locking policy. The company has strict rules when it comes to corporate…
