The Elements of Gadgets and Gaming
I didn’t really intend on talking about the Xbox Games Showcase. There’s certainly a few cool games here of note. Fable of course being the big one. Of course Forza looks great as always, and I have high hopes for Avowed as well. Then there’s Halo Infinite. Oh boy. If you’re showing off the flagship…
Ouya, Ouya, Ouya, schika schikaaaaaa. The year was 2012, Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” was topping the Billboard charts, preppers were eagerly awaiting the end of the world (that got delayed 8 years), and a little micro-console was causing a big splash in the video gaming landscape, only to end up as yet another…
So we’re now well into the hype phase going into a new console generation, and to be honest, I’m not seeing the excitement this time around. Either from myself or the gaming community at large. I think most people have resigned to the fact that consoles will be incremental upgrades from now on, rather than…
On the Weekend throwback, we revisit some vintage, well aged (like fine milk) articles from the site’s history, to see how tech has evolved in the last 13 years. Today, we’re checking out our classic review of the iPhone 3G. A phone which was a pretty big deal back when it came out, and also…

Nintendo dropped Switch Firmware 10.0.0 yesterday. It adds a whole slew of cool new features, like button mapping and the ability to move game data from the internal storage to a MicroSD. Which is certainly handy given the console’s very limited internal storage. But most games will automatically default to the card anyway if its…
UPDATE: GameStop and EB will now be closing stores after all to comply with rules closing non-essential businesses. GameStop, and its Canadian subsidiary EB Games, have announced plans to stay open during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite many jurisdictions asking non-essential retailers to close. In an internal leaked memo, the company went as far as to…
The Xbox Series X is shaping up to be one mighty console according to official specs released by Microsoft earlier this week. While we already knew that it would feature an AMD’s Zen 2 processor and RDNA graphics, but now we have more information about what’s under the hood. 8-Core AMD Ryzen “Zen 2” CPU…
Google has been maintaining radio silence on their Stadia game streaming platform, which is causing concern among the platform’s fan base. Over in the official Stadia subreddit, user Gizoogle noted that over 40 days have passed since any new games or features were announced. While Google had claimed that over 120 games were coming to…
