Review: OnePlus One Smartphone

OnePlus has a motto, "Never Settle", that is a represtation of the company's goal to build a perfect smartphone that everyone can purchase it for less than the name brands are selling for off contract. If the LG G3, Google Nexus 5 or the Samsung Galaxy S5 (forget Apple, they are always outdated) were priced at $299 to buy outright, off contract and unlocked, would you consider purchasing it instead of signing a 2 year contract or paying $29 a month for 18 - 24 months? I would. Unfortunately the off contract price of these high end phones are the cost of a decent PC these days. OnePlus is changing that and is offering the same technology for half the price of it's competitors. Their first phone, called the One for obvious reasons, is a self proclaimed 2014's Flagship Killer. Believe me when I say this, it is!

A Typical Day For Me In DayZ

The END of Naruto...or is it?

Naruto is a Japanese manga series that tells the story of Naruto Uzumaki, an adolescent ninja who constantly searches for recognition and dreams to become the Hokage, the ninja in his village who is acknowledged as the leader and the strongest of all. The series is written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto after his one-shot manga was published in the August 1997 issue of Akamaru Jump (now Shonen Jump). With more than 10 years of watching and reading about Naruto's life, 5 7 weeks from now (the official notice did not appear until issue 694 and then they released the final 2 chapters at the same time) it will come to an end. A sad, but inevitable day!

The Tomb Raider That Almost Was

  Tomb Raider (Reboot) was an amazing game that I thoroughly enjoyed playing on Xbox 360 and also on Steam (pc).  It was released on the following consoles: Xbox 360, Xbox One, Steam, PS3 and PS4 and since then they announced a sequel to it game called "The rise of the Tomb Raider" and my reaction was "WOW!! I cant wait to play this"  but something happened today at Gamescom that I cant quite wrap my head around..... Its only coming to the Xbox One.... WHAT?!?!?!

Games That Grant You Early Access

  I was playing Dayz Standalone just the other day and i did my normal routine.  Go to the coast and loot up at berezino and then head up to North East Airfield and net me some more gear.  As I approached the airfield, I felt lost and disoriented and pulled out my map of Chernarus to try and figure out just  where in the world I was because what I was seeing was most definitely not North East Airfield and as a matter of fact it was the complete opposite with just an empty airfield with just a couple of buildings to loot.  To my absolute dismay, what I was experiencing  was the New North East Airfield and a game that is still in alpha that left me frustrated but yet excited.

Riptapparel.com Graveyard Favorites

This episode was crazy.  We were all over the place and it started with the Riptapparel.com website.  The shirts I was looking at were in the Graveyard section that is basically retired and no longer for sale.  Since I couldn't stop laughing during the cast, here are the ones I liked best (while just scanning the 25 pages I went through) and decided to share with the fans.  I could have kept going, but obviously didn't...

What the Tech!?...It's Tech News!

 This week on The Geeks Amok Podcast Frank, Rob and Leroy attempted to give some tech news.  But alas it was a short discussion that  lacked in details and actually knowledge you want to know. Suck it! Aside from the part where Frank talked about upskirt photos. Suck it Again!! I take full blame for this as I was on a secret mission I couldn't be pulled away.  In all fairness I was asleep after being up 40 hours straight I felt it more important to sleep and have my mind fully ready to continue to submit "My" Articles on a regular basis...Cough Cough suck it thrice!

Sequels, Necessary or the Death of Imagination

With the slew of sequels that have been pouring out of Hollywood and game studios recently I wanted to touch on the idea behind sequels.  For years sequels have been the continuation of something from the original idea.  Kind of like "the continuing adventures of" whatever the original idea was.  Recently released "How to Train Your Dragon 2" was a sequel to the Dreamworks hit and has been one of the few to have broken the barrier between what I think of as "continuation" and "progression".  I think that the key to a great sequel is that the characters and story from the original movie or game needs to progress and show a new aspect of the people in it.  Something that brings you in deeper and wants you to know more about them.  I think that the sequel needs to almost be able to stand alone as a story unto itself.  The characters are introduced in the original and they have a story but the sequel needs to be a new story and deepens the relationship between the core characters.  I think that Dreamworks has figured this formula out because both the Dragon series and the Kung Fu Panda series both follow this formula, almost to the point that the sequel is better than the original.  I think that other movie franchises could stand to take a look at this and learn better how to present and write sequels so that we are not looking at the same stories that have already been told but new adventures that involve the same characters but with a deeper look into them and what makes them so intriguing.

Dying LIght or Dying Genre

First of all thanks to IGN for the 12 minutes of gameplay footage.  In this weeks Podcast the question was asked are Zombie game over used?  In my opinion I say no.  I don't think have captured the expierence completely and lets be honest here. When The Walking Dead isn't Best show on TV and millions of people don't watch it anymore than yes it's done and we shouldn't see anymore zombie content for a while.

Net Neutrality and Big Cable Companies

Ever since I can remember the internet was a form of communication to access information from the World Wide Web.  You couldn't send an email, chat with your friends through Instant Message, surf the web or even post comments on peoples ridiculous content online without being connected to the internet.  Sure a lot has changed since the founding of the internet, but so has technology for Gas, Electric, Phone and Television Companies.  However, the Cable companies are crying wolf because they want the Internet to be treated like Cable Channels.   They want you to pay for "channels/categories" of internet content on top of paying for connecting to the internet.  The reason behind this - Video Steaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc..

Mortal Kombat X: Announcement Trailer Released

From the opening to the end of the trailer is pure awesomeness. It seems the whole trailer is an actual match between Sub-Zero and Scorpion. It starts with a cinematic entrance that flawlessly blends into the start of the fight with the Lengen - wait for it - dary "Fight" being broadcast-ed to start the match. It looks like Mortal Kombat is getting Environmental weapons and moves to use against your opponent in the latest installment. From the video it shows Matrix-like cut scenes for Critical Hits (ie..bone breaking x-rays and dislocations). It seems like there might be super special moves as well. Sub-Zero is showing off a charged up Ice Blast. Don't even get me started on how great the "Who's Next" track from Wiz Khalifa sounds playing in the background of the video. However I am upset that they show Sub-Zero losing and being decapitated, but it was done in style this time with Scorpion throwing his axe to pin (and what appears to be the final blow) Sub-Zero's head to the tree.
