Plants vs Zombies clone lands on Windows tablets: Trolls VS Vikings

For all of you Plants vs Zombies fans who also happen to be fans of Windows tablets, the wait is over!  Trolls VS Zombies is a high quality clone of that game, and just as fun!  The game hit the Windows store recently, and is a free with the option for in app purchases. The game plays similarly to Plants vs Zombies 2.  In the place of the plants, you have the "lovable" trolls who are defending themselves from the greedy Vikings that want to steal their gold.  The game starts simply enough with slingshot trolls that are nearly identical to the pea shooting plants from PvZ, building up to mining trolls who dig up moonstones, (similar to the sunflower bringing sunshine in PvZ) and so on.  The game has 70 levels, and there are plenty of trolls to collect in the main game with various abilities to protect you from the equally varied Vikings. In app purchases consist of magic powers, moonstones, as well as certain trolls.  For those of you who don't mind i...

Use the Dell Venue Pro as a mini laptop with the Fintie Blade X1 Bluetooth Keyboard case

A few months ago, I purchased the Dell Venue Pro 8 hoping that under certain circumstances, it could take the place of both my Nexus 7 and my Acer ultraportable laptop.  For those of you who have yet to read my overview and comparison between the Venue Pro 8 and Nexus 7, it can be found here . Without a doubt, many of you are curious about the  Fintie case and how well it works with the Dell Venue Pro 8. The first thing to double check is that you have the correct version of the Fintie blade X1 that is specifically designed for the Dell Venue 8 Pro Windows 8.1 tablet as Fintie claims that it is NOT compatible with Venue 8 (not PRO) Android Tablet.  The case is made of a very thin PU "leather" cover with a soft, microfiber-lined interior and a plastic case to provide full protection for your tablet. The magnetically detachable ultra-slim 7mm and light weight bluetooth keyboard integrates seamlessly with your Dell Venue 8 Pro Windows 8.1 tablet and other Bluetooth...

Final Fantasy III Android Updated: Now with Cloud saves and Controller Support

Lifesperience is now Raycommend, which can be found here:    Ray Commend   Like the headline says, Square Enix finally updated Final Fantasy 3 with Cloud Saves, as well as support for many physical controllers.  After booting up the updated game on my Nexus 5, I was greeted with the new and very blue cloud save icon on the top right of my screen. In case that you missed it, the cloud save icon is on the top right of the screen. I started a new game and played just enough to defeat the first boss of the game, and once in the overworld, I saved my file and tested the cloud save system.  Afterwards, I quit my game, and logged onto my Nexus 7. The cloud save menu is simple but functional Once the game booted up on my Nexus 7, I once again pressed the Cloud Save icon and was able to continue from my save file.   The interesting thing about this system is that it does not use Google Play games.  It will instead upload to your Google drive ...

Guilty Pleasure: Epic Rap Battles of History

Finally, a battle between Goku and Superman that Goku can actually win. The creativity that pops up on the internet from time to time never ceases to amaze me as I "tune in" to the Epic Rap battles of History channel on Youtube.  The thought of two guys making battle rap videos on Youtube based on historical figures would have been comical to me if someone had mentioned it to me just a few short years ago.  Snoop Lion battles a surprisingly hardcore Santa Claus as the historical Moses Yet, both Nicepeter and EpicLloyd have done just that, and have created a bona fide internet phenomenon.  With 3 "seasons" of ERB under their belt, the duo don't seem to have any intention about slowing down any time soon.  As a matter of fact, as of this writing, their last video (the ending to season 3) was their most ambitious.  A 4 on 4 battle between the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the actual historical Artists that they are based on.  The turtle costum...
