ChatGPT… is it the future? — I was pretty late to the A.I. news. The earliest memories I have of understanding exactly what artificial intelligence is, is from my childhood playing Madden NFL or EA Sports’ NHL video game.

These are the best video games of 2022

Yet another year of gaming in the books. — As the industry continues to evolve post-pandemic, more games continue to release each year that catch my attention.

These are the best movies of 2022

It was quite the ride. — Film continues to evolve with streaming taking over the majority of the industry. After the COVID-19 pandemic took down theaters, attendance is lower than ever.

It’s happening. — There are a few things that Apple has done that I’ve found completely absurd. One of them is the notch in the newer 14-inch MacBooks. Another is the redesign of the new 24-inch iMac, because what is that? …

I finally ditched Safari — here’s why

The time has come. — Anyone who knows me knows I love Safari. I would die for Safari. I think it’s simple, quick, and easy to use. In fact, Apple says it is the fastest web browser you can use for Mac. I believe them. I don’t like Google Chrome. Firefox is old and outdated…

Apple Music’s Biggest Flaw

I love Apple Music, but… — We all know that Spotify is a superior streaming platform for music. They were on the scene first.

3 realistic ideas for Red Dead Redemption III

Why a prequel to Red Dead Redemption II isn’t a good idea. — Maybe the biggest news in all of video games right now is the Grand Theft Auto VI leak, which saw 90 gameplay test videos get leaked and posted online. Rockstar is most likely trying to mitigate this PR crisis by removing the videos and hold whoever leaked them responsible. For…
