    Video games you would rate 10/10

    Well, for me giving out a 10/10 to a game is because all the good features are vastly remarkable and the downsides are not so bad either. Mario Galaxy 2 for me deserves a 10/10 because it was a great improvement for another excellent game: Mario Galaxy. An almost perfect 3D platform, so smooth...

    The manliest men in anime

    Kenshiro from Hokuto no Ken series. This character in manga and anime is taken so seriously that ended up being a parody of the manly man trope. This hulky guy is so over the top that torn apart his shirt everytime He charges up his anger and bulk up the muscular mass.

    Best year in the history of gaming

    I personally agree with Kotaku and many other people about regarding 1998 as the best year of gaming. Why? In a nutshell, because during that year happened A lot of best-game-of-all-time releases and was the turning point for 3 D games which began to mature from. Let's take a look at some...

    Do you think you will ever go full-digital with games?

    Well, I am one of those that unfortunately went full digital for convenience. I don't like much digital distribution from Steam and Origin (restriction by game-key), without them you can't play the dang game, good thing that exists the offline mode. But is certainly a limitation, I feel like I'm...

    Installing a PC game back in the 1990s

    I got my first Computer at early 1999, with windows 98 OS installed and plenty of 31/2 inch 1.44 Mb floppy disks. Gosh, I remember pretty well how fragile they were, and when they got stuck inside the driver, what a pain in the ass.

    What's the most unforgiving game you've ever played?

    Tales of Maj'eyal, but all the roguelike are like that (unforgiving and trollish permadeath games) so I can't say this kind of game really counts as one of the most unforgiving game I have ever played. Demon's souls also has its share in regards of unforgiving gameplay, since everytime you...

    Are people poor because they keep buying the latest thing?

    Purchasing a lot until you drain your savings to zero don't necessarily make you poor. What makes you really poor is your inability to produce any wealth with using your own skills or talents. I know engineers that pretty much blows up most of their living wage's money in drinking and leisure...

    Where do you buy your PC games?

    For space reasons I prefer to buy them by digital distribution: GOG, Steam or Origin. For consoles, I rather buy them in the digital store instead of physical copies. Physical copies are of course overall better, but they can be an inconvenience when you have stuff everywhere in a small room or...

    The Human Powered iPhone! power case

    Mmm I guess this hand crank charger works using the alternator principle for rotative machines (rotating counterclockwise to generate electricity by transforming mechanic energy). It coud be useful if you are in the middle of nowhere and the day is quite cloudy to use photovoltaic cells in order...
