The Elements of Gadgets and Gaming
The Xbox team issued a major update for xCloud streaming this week, stating that the service would be coming to all Game Pass Ultimate subscribers in 22 countries. The service is being powered by custom Series X hardware, and will now be made available on all Windows 10 and iOS/iPadOS devices, but only via a…
I’m not a terribly big fan of Apple’s products. Oh sure, I used to be back when I first started this website. However, that view soured following the death of Steve Jobs. This is when the company’s computer lineup shifted from being innovative tech to little more than expensive fashion accessories. Though in fairness, they’ve…
There was a time when I was quite interested in Apple’s product lineup. As you can tell from a lot of the earliest articles on this site. Nowadays, not so much. Frankly, their stuff became dull as dishwater after Steve Jobs passed. This was also around the same time their computers started to morph into…
Apple will be ditching Intel and transitioning the Mac to ARM based processors over the next two years. I’m actually surprised it hasn’t happened before now, but here we are. The Mac lads are now full steam ahead, making their fourth major architecture change since the dawn of the platform in 1984. The move makes…
Detective Inspector Hector is the only halfway decent policeman in Clappers Wreak, the town that took the “Great” out of Great Britain. He’d love nothing more than to spend the afternoon with a good cuppa and the filthiest porn the internet has on order. Unfortunately, there’s a terrorist knocking about, who’s threatening to commit the…
Apple announced quite a few new devices at the annual World Wide Developer’s Conference this past week. We have some new iPads, and a brand new Mac Pro. But what’s catching most people’s attention is not electronics, but rather the ludicrously expensive stand for their new professional 5K monitor. The stand retails for $999 US…
If you needed another reason not to buy the new 2015 MacBook Slow, here’s one. It’s darned near impossible to repair. The folks at iFixit have once again taken the covers off Apple’s latest creation, and what they found is none too impressive. Proprietary screws, lots of glue, and not a single user replaceable part….
Can we all just agree that Adobe Flash needs to rot in hell. Granted a lot of browser based games use the plugin. It’s how a lot of indie developers got their start, and got exposure on sites like Newgrounds and Facebook. Problem is that Flash has become the goatse of web development. A huge,…
Pools are back in Sims 4! You know what that means? Murder most foul. Back when the game first came out, players were upset when Maxis said they were taking out pools. Just how the heck were people supposed to kill their neighbours… er… fancy up their yard? Well, they’re back. The latest update with adds pools…
The original Doom was one of the most controversial games in history. Blamed for shootings, called a murder simulator. Despite the fact that shooting monsters was nothing new at the time. The controversy did overshadow a lot of what went on behind the scenes to make the granddaddy of first person shooters. Like how John…
