I’ve never owned an Xbox. Not from dedication to any particular manufacturer or fanboyism, it just never really happened. Which is a shame because I think true gamers (as cringey as that might sound) simply appreciate good games. Microsoft has had some real good ones that I’ve admired from afar – the Halo series, Gears of War…
There’s plenty of nice holiday destinations, spin a globe, chuck a dart at it and bam, you’ve got a nice safe place to go, because chances are you hit an ocean. However, there are a few places out there that are essentially the murder capitals of the world, and as such, should be avoided because…
A lot is happening in the science and research world all the time. Some of it is only on the fringes of pop-sci though, and will largely be forgotten due to not having a click-worthy title. So we’ll be rounding up the most recent news, as well as link backs to the journals and papers…

We just got back from the local Sony office after a one hour hands on, headset on demo of Sony VR. Prior to this my only experience with VR was the Gear VR, which frankly looked like garbage and sat uncomfortably on your head. The Sony VR on the other hand was quite comfortable with…

The spill flooded the area with 4.9 million barrels of oil over an area 176,100km. You'll remember the videos of black beaches with sad looking dead seagulls, however the movie starring Mark…

“I was going to vote for X but after last nights debate I’m going to vote for Y,” said no one ever. The first presidential debate between Clinton and Trump just concluded and I’m left in a world that’s saturated with people’s personal rundowns of the situation as it stands, as if anything ever really…
