Disney Infinity’s Marvel Action Figures Not Up To Mark

I stumbled upon these insanely cute Disney Infinity Marvel Action Figures on Kotaku and simply had to share it with you. Keep in mind these figures are not available in India right now. Amongst the many things people like about Disney Infinity has got to be those cute little adorable figurines. Carefully sculpted and painted to reflect the characters personality, these aren’t just toys but stand for something much larger. But sadly the first batch of figures for Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes wasn’t really up to the mark. Like what’s up with Captain America? The paint job is uneven and rough resulting in his face looking a bit pockmarked and the “A” on his head looks not so classy for some reason, can’t seem to put a finger down on it. And I’m not even going to start about those ...

Check out this awesome Gears Of War controller

I used to think any custom made controllers always looked a bit, well…no I just didn’t like them!

Alienware unleashes the Mac Pro of gaming PCs

Apple’s new “trash can” Mac Pro is pretty wild, but Alienware might have just snatched back the title for craziest desktop PC with its new Area-51 a funky, hexagonal machine. Similar to Apple, Alienware claims the design for its new desktop has some practical benefits beyond just looking insane. Without a doubt the PC is going to cost a fortune, but it drooling for the rig is free 🙂 Since the back of the desktop isn’t perpendicular with the floor, the company says you can push the unit up against the wall without blocking its all-important ventilation.

A Date With The Xiaomi Mi 3

So we had a pretty good long weekend with Independence Day and Janmashtmi falling on either side of the weekend with this one here–the Xiaomi Mi 3. Its an amazing phone considering not only its price but also its stiff competition with other brands. It showcases how Chinese phone makers are capable of making quality products without cutting a hole in your pocket. It didn’t feel like it had the finish of the latest top-of-the-line phones from Samsung, HTC, and Apple but then again its price is nothing compared to one of the flagship phones. But in its league with the 2 GB RAM it demolishes its competitors. There is noticeable lag when changing the screen’s orientation. In conservative power mode, lags in opening group folders also occur. There is also a delay when launchin...

A Little Gaming Everyday Keeps The Doctor Away

Many people think video games all the time is a total and complete waste of time and cannot lead to anything productive, and at the risk of sounding completely nuts, to a certain extent, I do agree with these people. Now mark my words–“to a certain extent”. Too much of anything isn’t good, and sadly enough this applies to gaming too. Studies suggest that young people who spent less than an hour a day playing video games were better adjusted than those who did not play any at all. Don’t get overexcited, here is the downside. Children who played on their consoles for over three hours a day were said to have had  lower satisfaction with their lives overall. The research is published in the journal Pediatrics. Experimental psychologist Dr Andrew Przybylski analyse...

Why Chacha Chaudhary rekindles the kid in all of us :)

Once upon a time in not long ago, we as children had not heard of TV, consoles or smartphones. Summer vacations, were spent mainly on games like pithoo(a ball game) with kids from the neighbourhood and Chacha Choudhary, Pinki, Billu and Raman 🙂 Who liked to reading school books when there’s a Chacha Chaudhary comic book around the corner. Who can forget that you could then exchange your rented comic book with other children. And if you were the extrovert enough there was a good chance of cracking a great deal! But all said and done this blast from the past comes in a time of great gloom for the Indian Comic Industry as Pran Kumar Sharma, creator of iconic comic book characters like Chacha Chaudhary and Sabu, died Tuesday night, his family said Wednesday. He was 75. Pran, as the catoo...
