More Thoughts From Me #141: That 80’s VideoKid

I was born in the 1980s. So for me, there is a lot of nostalgia to be found in those years. The 90s, not so much, but there was so much I loved in the 80s. From cartoons to tv shows to movies, the 80s has cool stuff in spades. When you get a movie (Ready Player One) or a video game, such as The VideoKid, thats all about taping into 80s nostalgia than I’m interested. I recently got The…

Why are Mobile Casino Apps So Popular?

I wonder how much Steve Jobs realised that when Apple launched their very first-generation iPhone with the quote that ‘this is going to change the way in which we communicate with each other’ how very big that change would be?

But after taking the Pixelbook from Google for a spin, my tune on the product and its usefulness completely changed. While never meant to be a primary device, the Google Pixelbook has been an excellent companion device for the running of GamesReviews.com, and now I cannot even imagine keeping things up and running without it.

The strategic connection between social networks and online gaming

There is a very famous adage, “It takes two to tango” which means – for a given situation to arise it requires a push from at least two people.

Undertale Warns of Dog Marriage

Last night, I finally bought Undertale for the Nintendo Switch. Yes, I know I’m very late to the bandwagon.
