Everspace 2 Review (PC / Xbox Series / PS5)

Everspace 2 reviewed by Jon Bolding on PC, also available on PlayStation and Xbox. This sequel is pure, distilled video game, all about how its space combat action plays moment to moment rather than whether that makes sense in a game world or fits a complex and nuanced story. The story could be better written, more entertaining, and set in a more original universe, and the missions or enemies could have more variety. But those faults didn’t take away from the main reason you’re there: To play with cool spaceships, tweak weapons into fun and crazy-powerful new combos, and meet new people to blow up.

Increasing my Nintendo 3DS Battery Life!

It’s time to take a peek into some of your favourite (and sometimes neglected) electronics and check on those batteries! The Nintendo 3DS debuted in 2011 and, as the years pass these old batteries become outdated and, in some cases, harmful to your system! Thanks for watching as I remove a battery from an aqua blue Nintendo 3DS handheld console and use a replacement rechargeable battery from XYAB to confirm the unit still functions well. These new batteries have a 2000 mAh capacity versus the 1300 mAh capacity found on a Nintendo battery which means this new battery can provide up to 5 hours more gameplay.

The Nintendo 3DS stands as a remarkable handheld gaming device, captivating gamers worldwide with its exceptional features and immersive gameplay experiences. One of its key highlights is the captivating stereoscopic 3D technology, which brings games to life with stunning depth and realism, creating a truly engrossing environment. Its diverse and vast game library caters to all ages and preferences, offering an extensive array of titles ranging from classic franchises to innovative new adventures. The handheld’s portability and compact design allow gamers to enjoy their favorite games anytime, anywhere. Additionally, the 3DS’s StreetPass and SpotPass functionalities enhance social interactions and connectivity, fostering a sense of community among players. With its powerful hardware, inventive gameplay mechanics, and nostalgic charm, the Nintendo 3DS undeniably remains a beloved and unparalleled handheld gaming platform.

The Failed Amazon Fire Phone – Review in 2023

The Amazon Fire Phone was a smartphone released by Amazon in 2014 that featured a 4.7-inch 720p HD display, a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera. The phone ran on Amazon’s proprietary Fire OS, which was based on Android, and featured unique features such as Dynamic Perspective, which used four front-facing cameras to create a 3D-like effect on the screen, and Firefly, which allowed users to scan and identify objects such as books, movies, and products using the phone’s camera. Despite its innovative features, the phone failed to gain significant traction in the market and was discontinued the following year.
