    Indie Games

    It's like Journey had a love child with Hyper Light Drifter! My brain can't decide if this is a good thing or not. The legions of perfect trailers I've watched for sub-par games has made me indecisive.

    VPN advice and recommendations

    I live abroad in a country that filters it's internet... so I've gone through lots of VPN's. In terms of the basics of each VPN's business model and how secure they are, it might be worth it to check out the in-depth comparisons at ThatOnePrivacySite.

    The Realm -- Relaunched

    This game also got me into MMO's. It was the primer to EQ for me. Honestly it was the friends I made that hooked me. I remember the enchanting scene getting pretty fierce. You could enchant Wraths for extra stats. The kicker was that for every enchant (a "bang"), the chance of exploding the...

    In an idiot move, I logged in to my BTN account on a friends computer. They saved the login credentials, got my account flagged and banned. My most treasured tracker out the window. Think I'm gonna be sick. I'm kinda not sure where to go. Where do you guys go for TV? Not IPT, please.

    Spotify vs. Amazon Music vs. Google Music vs. Tidal

    Headphones & Audio Devices

    Agreed. That's one of the largest reasons I like my HD25's. I couldn't count how many times I hopped off the bus or whatnot and get the cable wrapped up on something. I've replaced the removable cable ($5) about four times in five years. Had it not been for that, they'd either be DOA or RMA'd.

    Tablets

    If you've got the hankering for something slightly larger, I got a Lenovo Tab2 A10 for a hundred fifty about six months ago. I bought it for reading comics, but it's treated me well so far. Not high powered by any means, but I've enjoyed it and it's served me well.
