SHOULD PARENTS RESTRICT THE USE OF MOBILE PHONES? A sea of young heads slouches forward lazily, as their eyes fervently remained glued to the screens of their mobile phones, while others take selfies of themselves and/or their friends for posting on various social media. Others are busy texting away and are emotionally and mentally detached from their friends and appear to be oblivious to what is happening around them. And that fact is made evident by the cord of the earpiece that is firmly plugged to their ears — snaking down their clothes and mostly terminating on the devices in their hands. However, one thing that can’t be disputed is the fact that people can’t seem to get enough attention from kids these days, whether they are in the classrooms, walking to school or having a discussion with them, the scenario described above is prevalent and always seems to play out every time. Consequently, it is increasingly causing perceptive parents and experts alike to fret about the…
Google may do many things right, but its Play Store is kind of a dumpster fire. Reviews and ratings there are spammed, bought, and gamed mercilessly. So when you want to find a new Android game and go searching for it there, you can forget drawing any useful information on reviews. Every two-bit garbage game has five-star reviews and a million positive comments from bots who all say the same five things. What's an Android gamer to do? Well, you have to turn to personal peer reviews like the one I'm about to do here. These, in my experience and judgment as a long-time Android gamer, are the top games of all time worth recommending. Now, I have a few standards for these recommendations:
Free is better than paid
Ads should be kept to the minimum.
Paid content should be optional, reasonable, and not required to play.
Paid games should give lots of bang for the buck.
Without further ado (because we don't have space for much doing with a list like this), here's Penguin Pete Trbovich's…
Penguin Pete here again! Previously, we talked about the top Android games that have proven themselves over the years as solid gaming. This time, we'd like to devote a whole other article to non-game apps on Android that are also well worth your time - for certain purposes and interests. Non-game apps are a different ballpark. We all know there's a Twitter app and a Facebook app and even an IMGUR app, so why waste everyone's time posting them? The Twitter app is the only game in town for Twitter; it's not like anybody out there was waiting to download the Twitter app until we give our review. Similarly, there's no point reviewing standard utilities that come on every phone and tablet. Instead, we will be listing some niche apps with practical uses. Ones you never thought of looking for. And of course, we want them for free or minimal cost, with a minimum of ads and bloat. Transit In these days of increased concern about global climate change, environment, and mundane matters like traffic…
So it's Penguin
Pete here, your semi-faithful fan of the long-running collectible trading card game Magic: The Gathering,
with some good news and some bad news. In fact, both good and bad
news are distributed in several discrete bundles, so I'll get around
to parceling them out longways here.
bad news: COVID-19 killed paper MTG
good news: Wizards made MTG Arena to take up the slack
bad news: Wizards designed the game
good news: But this time they had Hearthstone to copy
bad news: They copied Hearthstone
good news: At least this time they copied a decent example so it's just barely playable
First, let's recap How We Got To This Point in Magic: The Gathering (MTG) history. When MTG first came out in the early '90s, it was going around in my nerdiest friend circles until I had to try it. And I had to say, it was an innovative game. The thrust was that it encoded a hermetic
system of magic into cards. Some cards were land cards that could represent the mystical currency "mana," while…
