    Born for the roles

    While I have so many great memories of actors perfectly embodying their well-written characters, I'm particularly fond of the following two, because they moved in a very profound manner: Denzel Washington in Training Day (2001): When Ethan Hawke said that if he played his own character well...

    News Assassin’s Creed Shadows reviews are dropping in...

    It's easy to say its overrated in 2025, when we had multiple games trying to copy the formula and failing. But, in 2020, it had no competititor barring Sekiro. The level of direction, detail, and nuance that has been put into the game is unmatched and unheard of 5 years back. When games like AC...

    News Assassin’s Creed Shadows reviews are dropping in...

    The sanest possible decision right now for anyone owning a PS5 would be to save up and invest in Ghost of Yotei, which is slated to release in just a few months. And if you are on PC, just buy Ghost of Tsushima, which is currently going at a record low on Steam. With either of these two games...

    News Assassin’s Creed Shadows reviews are dropping in...

    I'd rather wait for MrMattyPlays or SkillUp to drop their reviews. These two have been the most consistent when it comes to judging current video game standards. Trusting Open Critic these days is nothing sort of a disappointment/sham, as we all saw what happened recently with Dragon Age...

    News It's Finally Here! - Half-Life 2 RTX Demo Hands On

    I think it's time people should realize (through this RTX demo) how bang average Half Life 2 was back in the day, despite the 'staged' universal acclaim, just because it was a Valve game. The game does not AT ALL hold up in 2025. The original, released in 1998, was revolutionary for the time it...

    21-30k [25K] Basic desktop for school student

    I'd suggest opting for the following configuration, since your party is more inclined towards Intel. The i3 12100 comes with an iGPU, so you do not have to rely on a discrete one. Total is coming to around 21,700 INR (without monitor and KB/M) and you can even proceed to order them all from MD...

    PC Peripherals Suggestions for a full sized keyboard under 2.5K for (lot of typing) and gaming

    Oh, man. The keyboards you shortlisted look really nasty (in a bad way) for typing, especially for long periods. You'll end up with more mistakes in your work than the words you'll be able to type. Not to mention, the excruciating fingertip pain. I usually suggest Royal Kludge because of the...

    Is AI Making Us Dumber? Study Reveals Critical Thinking Decline

    The article is talking about critical thinking; the keyword here being critical. Not abstract thinking. If you are not sure about the differences between the two, see them up, instead of attacking the researchers. This is exactly why critical thinking is required because it helps you make...

    2024 Online Game Deals - Steam, Amazon, Origin, GOG, Humble Bundles

    The games on that list are not even worth 500 INR, let alone spending 1,700 INR. For example, Tales from the Borderlands went record low at 110 INR this past winter sale. No one should pay 825 INR for the same thing.

    Rate the Last Movie You Saw...

    The Other Guys (2010) The time around 2010s was such a great time for comedies. Easy A, Jump Street, She's Out of My League, The Change-Up, Zombieland - you name it. And somehow, this movie flew under my radar, until I came across a snippet from the movie, thanks to Youtube recommendations. As...

    Storage Solutions Orico SSD service

    Let's not dilute the reliability and brand power of a company like Deepcool to the likes of unreliable and cheap-ass brands such as Zebronics, EVM, or even Orico. At a time when the CM Hyper 212 was the only affordable and reliable aftermarket air cooler was in the Indian market, Deepcool broke...

    News Apple to halt US sales of Series 9, Ultra 2 smartwatches over patent dispute

    This was indirectly a win for Masimo, actually. The article conveniently (and intentionally) omits the major talking point of this jury ruling - Apple lawyers wanted injunction against sales of Masimo’s smartwatches - a direct retaliation to what Masimo did to Apple last year. Instead, no...

    Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 9 285K is reportedly (slightly) slower than the i9 14900K in gaming

    This isn't even remotely comparable to Ryzen 1st Gen. When Ryzen 1xxx launched, AMD offered consumers with the benefit of 'high core count at value pricing'. It was a dream getting a 12-core R5 1600 at $219 launch price, when Intel was selling the 6-core i5 8400 at $170-180. Couple that with...
