“Video game movies are never good.” This is the tired mantra that is recited time and time again when a movie release is on the horizon that is steeped in the video game universe. Is this phrase usually true? Unfortunately, not many offerings in the past few years have proved otherwise. Enter Disney and their play on virtual worlds we’ve come to enjoy. Wreck-It Ralph seems to have been carefully crafted to not disappoint gamers. … Read more
Nexus devices are doing a pretty nice job in terms of sales across the globe (especially in the US) and one of several reasons why people love Nexus devices is that they have the unaltered stock Android OS on them. Although Nexus devices are being sold with a locked bootloader, it is fairly easy to unlock it including doing it on the Nexus 10. However just a bit of fair warning, unlocking the bootloader on … Read more
This week the premiere of Robot Combat League aired on SyFy and the show brings the world of robot combat to a whole new level. Unlike previous robot combat shows, this one is very much similar to the movie Real Steel with 7-8′ tall metal robots that are controlled by two human operators. One who controls the legs and movement of the robot, while the other has a control system that attaches to their arms … Read more
Andrea is definitely try to prove “I ain’t a Judas” this week on The Walking Dead because she can’t decide who to be loyal too. The woman who learns the truth about her beloved Governor, he really is a liar and out for blood, just can’t face the idea of leaving him; it makes me want to scream. I’m getting ahead of myself though. The prison group seems to be at ease with themselves at … Read more
Technology is rapidly developing and there is no sign of things slowing down. One of the trending technologies lately is AUGMENTED REALITY (AR). Most people may not realize that most smart phone’s are already supporting this futuristic technology to some degree. So keeping the “some degree” in mind, here I came up with some trending & what I think are the best 5 augmented reality apps for mobile devices. 5. 3D Pool game – … Read more
Believe me I am one of those people who uses Google Currents, AP Mobile, Pulse and various other news aggregate apps to get the latest headlines online. Despite this I found that I missed having a local paper, I missed the detailed articles and specifically the more local news around the cities I cared about most. Online news on Google News can lack a local appeal and I still liked print papers for some occasions. … Read more
The blog post takes a look at some of the pro and cons of BYOD trend (bring your own device).
By now, most people have heard of 3D printing technology. A couple of years ago, 3D printers were an expensive technology. Now, for a couple thousand dollars, you can have a 3D printer in your home. Not only do you have this ease of access, but you can surf online databases and download files to create just about anything. Everyday, there is a new story on the internet about someone printing something spectacular and life-altering … Read more
It just happened to be coincidence that I ordered my original Dragon Blogger T-Shirt through VistaPrint and my image had some glossy issues on the back of the shirt. The site is going through a re-design soon and there will be a new logo, so I wasn’t sure if I should go ahead and touch up existing ones and order or make Dragon Blogger shirts available now or if I should wait until the new … Read more
The Walking Dead is really good at making you realize no one is safe in this show and Home was no different. A few truths came out, one we knew about but didn’t realize anyone else did, and one that wasn’t exactly a shocker but at the same time made you realize just how far some characters have gone. I also think a serious show down is coming soon between the two groups. Rick’s delusions … Read more
One of the definitions of siege is a police operation where the enemy is surrounded in an effort to compel the surrender of an armed person; I have to admit I’m not sure if this week’s The Following episode was named for the FBI or Joe Carroll’s followers. For the FBI it is a physical attempt, albeit with a small group; and for Carroll’s followers threats and lies. Emma, Paul, and Jacob awake in the … Read more

While there … Read more
When I received a brand new Samsung 55″ LED TV for Christmas I was ecstatic and overjoyed, but quickly found that 3 built in HDMI ports was not nearly enough for the amount of equipment I had to plug into the TV. Sure I could have dumbed down some of my gear to using Component Video but this would defeat the purpose. I did a little research and took a gamble on the Kinivo 501BN … Read more
It’s a new week and a new episode of The Dragoncast. This week we are joined by one of Dragon Blogger’s very own writers, Victor Salazar once again as we discuss the current fall of video game company THQ . We give our opinion on what current video game companies need to do in order to survive in this poor economy and how games need to stop being more of the same. Also we discuss … Read more
In my Make Money Online page I focused on programs that specifically pay bloggers to write sponsored reviews, do promotions on Social Media and covered the CPA/CPC programs like AdSense, Chitika, Kontera, Infolinks and more. I only briefly touched on programs that help you earn money by hosting video content, and I wanted to showcase some of the ones I have tested over the years and which ones I still currently use occasionally. One note, … Read more
Can The Following’s Mad Love episode show just how crazy someone can be or is it just me? Or perhaps the idea is that these people are so unhinged they really don’t know what love is and what infatuation is. Maybe it was a tribute to what Valentine’s Day started as; you know a mass murder way back in history. Whatever Mad Love was about it was another eye opener on at least one character … Read more

As The Walking Dead returns in full force with The Suicide King, it’s clear things are getting worse for everyone and the end of the season may bring some unexpected surprises. That might be silly to say since most of the episodes have surprises but this one seems to be headed in a really bad direction for several characters. We pick up right where we left off in Made to Suffer, with Merle and Daryl … Read more
