    The games we play.

    My absolute favorites were GTA Vice City, San Andreas and NFS Most Wanted primarily because I have finished these games more than 5 times each as parents didn't give money to upgrade the pc back in the day. Max Payne was another great one but it was too much tension and pressure for a high...

    Scam 1992.. 8.5/10 for me. It was a good watch but not something which has been occupying my mind (like Joker) even after it ended so it is not a 9+ rating IMO. Mirzapur S2 - 5/10. Dragged a lot and I think they hired the GOT writers who started killing everyone for no reason whatsoever.

    Your Gaming Backlog/Progress Report!

    Finished Assassin's Creed Origin on PS4. I'd rate it a 7/10 (generously). Good fighting mechanics but the story lacks the punch. Side missions are completely forgettable and are mostly go to point A, do chore B and return back to point A to talk to the mission giver. This was not the case with...

    Playstation 5 & Xbox Series X

    PS5 digital edition pricing seems fair to me. I hope this is the price after taxes. One thing I am concerned about is the price of the games. If we get digital edition it is not possible to exchange discs. That means one copy will only play in one system. Which is kind of a bummer.

    Android One little thing about battery.

    Why not just replace the battery when it shows signs of capacity degradation? Isn't spending money on a new battery a better option than having to manually keep your battery between 20-80% or having lower than max battery life by only charging to 80% via an app (which if you think is a battery...

    Greyhound 8/10. One of the better war movies that I have seen in a while. Completely immersed from start to end. Tom hanks was brilliant as always.

    Corona virus

    The lockdown was going swimmingly for me for the first month. But lately, I had a hard time dealing with the situation because of all the news I was consuming and the general uncertainty in the world. I now check the news only once in the morning and focus only on the things that lie in my...

    Suggest Wired Earphones with mic (non In Ear) for use with laptop (for teams and skype calls) / tablet / phone

    Earpods is still your best option. Mine are 4+ years old and I fear the day when they will conk off simply because they would be very hard to replace. I do not prefer the in-ear ones because unless I can hear my own voice during the call it feels very uncomfortable and unnatural. Also, the mic...

    Playerunknown’s Battleground : Discussion Thread

    Well nothing would beat an old school mouse+keyboard but I can easily say that claw grip on a mobile phone is much better than a controller (I have both PS3 and PS4).

    Hindi Series Discuss (neflix, amazon prime, youtube, etc.)

    Typewriter (Netflix) - 6/10 First 3 episodes are awesome and focus on environment and character setup. It starts going downhill by episode 4 and final episode is downright pathetic with random things happening. You can give this a miss.

    Stopped watching after 10 minutes. Didn't laugh even a single time. Judged too quickly but glad that it was the right decision. :P

    10-15K Time to replace Moto G3, after 3 yrs legacy & love

    Because Samsung is still playing the same game of charging a premium just because it is Samsung. For the same price their phones have inferior performance. The Exynos processors lag behind their counterparts. The cameras are very average. Why buy them when you can get a better product for...

    Need external speakers for watching movies on TV [Budget: 0-10k]

    Size and design of the speakers are not an issue. Just that the dialogues should be clear to understand and should not drown under the sea of bass. Will check the reviews for these. I don't think there would be any way to try them though.

    Need external speakers for watching movies on TV [Budget: 0-10k]

    Thank you for the suggestions guys. I will definitely give Mi Soundbar a try. I have high expectations from Mi products as Mi has time and again met those expectations :)

    Need external speakers for watching movies on TV [Budget: 0-10k]

    Hi Folks. We have a Samsung LED TV and use a Panasonic 2.1 speakers with it. The problem is that the sound is too boomy and bass heavy for watching movies. We do not understand anything that the actors say and if we the increase volume too much it feels as if it would bring the house down. Even...

    10-15K Time to replace Moto G3, after 3 yrs legacy & love

    Don't get the Samsung phones at this budget. They are much inferior than the competition. For 11k, RN7s is a great phone. If you shell out a bit more for RN7 Pro then you will get a processor which is faster than anything under 18k and a much superior camera. You cannot go wrong with any of these.

    Even after the disaster, reactor 1,2 and 3 were still kept operational. I wonder how that was done provided it still came within 30km exclusion zone.

    At one point, when he was fighting the armored guys in the continental, I saw him reload the shotgun with one shell and fire 5 rounds. But I don't think people making John Wick would make such rookie mistake :P

    John Wick 3: 7/10. A very simplistic story line with lots of action just like any other John Wick movie. Entertaining watch for action fans. They were inspired from hindi movies a bit as the hero didn't need to reload the gun as much :P De de pyaar de: 5/10. Very entertaining first half. Wanted...

    Started Chernobyl. It is a HBO miniseries with 4 out of 5 episodes released. I must say it is very engaging. The show has 9.7 rating on IMDB with 78k votes!
