The BBC isn’t due to transition BBC Three to an online-only channel until late next year, but that isn’t stopping it from testing the waters first. The Beeb confirmed today that for the first time, it will make a complete series available on BBC…
I know that we are a society that is obsessed with mobile devices these days, and Generation Z grew up in a digital environment, so much so that anything analog is looked upon in disdain, as they wonder how we, their parents, were able to live with knobs, dials, and the idea of sending snail mail to one another across time. Still, there are some things that digital cannot beat – such as reading a newspaper or a book which do not require any batteries, not to mention the fact that newspaper can be used for many other functions once you’re done reading it. Well, games on mobile devices have exploded too, but it might be good if one enjoys something old school while on the move, such as the $19.99 Quoridor Pocket Maze-Forming Travel Game.
The Quoridor Pocket Maze-Forming Travel Game will basically require you to get from one side of the maze to the other, without bumping into any of the walls, of course. It is somewhat like the Light Cycles game in Tron, where this easily portable travel game will sport integrated drawers in the board itself so that you can stash away all of the parts without having a piece go missing by accident. The average play time is 15 minutes, and best of all is, there is no need for batteries to recharge since it doesn’t use any in the first place!

We’ve blown our chances of fully counteracting the effects of climate change; recently-released reports from the International Energy Agency and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) provide plenty of evidence. But all hope is not yet lost, we’ve still got a small chance to keep from irreversibly poisoning our atmosphere. Here’s what the world’s governments must do to save the Earth before we cook ourselves clean off the face of the planet.
This fall marks 20 years that Microsoft has been making keyboards (make that “computer hardware,” as it was quaintly called back in 1994). Ironically, though, as the company approaches this milestone, it’s now making accessories not just for PCs,…
I have been playing the Civilization games from Sid Meier for years. I particularly liked Civilization V that launched most recently in the series, and still play that game frequently. If you are a fan of the franchise, a new game is coming in late 2014 that you can look forward to. The game is called Civilization: Beyond Earth.
Unlike the other games in the franchise that have had us evolving our civilizations over time up until the space-faring age when the game ends, Beyond Earth starts there. Players will get to colonize other worlds with their civilizations.
Players will get to lead factions to alien worlds where they can make colonies. The planets will change based on the player actions. Beyond Earth will also feature nonlinear technology progression, deep customization, and more. There is always the chance that the game will be delayed, but I hope not I am looking forward to playing this game when it hits this holiday season. You can pre-order Civilization: Beyond Earth now for $49.99(USD).
