Solved! playing iq circuit puzzle game by smart games #shorts


smart games - IQ Circuit, Puzzle Game with 120 Challenges, 8+ Years

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I love playing the iq circuit physical block game by smart games. Listen to some jazz or classical music and you have a nice relaxing quiet game to yourself. It came in a nice casing with a transparent top cover. Wish, they include a placement for the puzzle pictures to hold it while trying to solve the puzzle.

I use a paper clip to hold the puzzle booklet and place it on the cover. Now it looks like a Nintendo ds. I like the design of the circuit block with gold lining. Once you solved a challenge, take it all out again and start to solve another puzzle. You'll have over 120 challenges!

I don't play it every day. Only once in a while. It's a gamer thing. You don't want to finish it all at once. Sometimes, you don't even want to finish it. What I realize about this game is that, it's replayable. Even if you have finish it, you can play it again. Maybe, time yourself.

How fast can you solve the challenges? You can restart from the beginning or try solve the one that you find a little difficult, again. Also, to me I like the idea of playing with something physical instead of just playing a game on your mobile phone

I also bought other type of IQ puzzle games by the company smart games. Of course, their main target is children and the family as a whole. I find playing this type of games relaxing. And, as I've said before, having to physically find and solve the problem does feels good.

Personally, I think it's good to get your hands dirty once in a while. I remembered back when I was a kid, we used to roam around the village or playing games using sticks. We used to play paper soccer, shooting at passing buses with our stick guns. lol!

Yup, we had to be creative back then. Well, I was little so most of the 'toys' were given or made for me. Nowadays, there are a plethora of cool toys and games you can buy. Although, most parents give an iPad or mobile phone to their kids, they also have to learn how to use and work with their hands.

I think, just letting your kids to play with their electronic products make them anti-social or lazy. Because, they're so glued to their devices and we know how kids even buy those non-tangible 'items' using their parents card. Buy them these types of games and you don't have to worry.

I'm not saying electronic products like for example the iPad or Nintendo games are bad. I have all of those too. They have their advantages and disadvantages. Especially, for kids growing up. You want them to have a variety of experience and challenges. That's why we have summer camp?

For one thing these type of games are way cheaper. The most important thing is it's pretty enjoyable to play. I myself just started to buy these type of games. I even bought a couple of jigsaw puzzles. Maybe, I'm just going back to basic and the simple life back then.

I actually like playing simple puzzle games even on my devices. It's only now, I feel like I need to touch them. Maybe, I'm getting old. You know how the older we get, we begin to reminisce and think about the old days. The thing that we like to do when we were younger. Those were the days.

Download Play More Nintendo Switch Games With 512GB MicroSD Card


Samsung (MB-ME512GA/AM) 512GB 100MB/s (U3) MicroSDXC Evo Select Memory Card with Adapter

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've bought the original Nintendo Switch in the early days, sold it, and got myself the Nintendo Switch lite. Personally, I prefer the Lite because it's much smaller and portable than the big brother. But, I wish, I'll be able to dock to and play on my big screen Tv.

I have a youtube channel and lots of guys complain in the comment section about the screen being too small to play some of their favorite games. So, I think, Nintendo should make a Switch lite that can also dock. I'm pretty sure, a lot of Nintendo gamers would appreciate that.



Samsung (MB-ME512GA/AM) 512GB 100MB/s (U3) MicroSDXC Evo Select Memory Card with Adapter

Another big complaint is of course the small storage size. I mean, the Nintendo game version today even if it's free-to-play is pretty big. Up to 30-60GB and even more. I've bought the 256GB and finally upgrade it to a 512GB MicroSD card.

I'm already left with 100GB of storage because I kept buying and downloading more games. The special prize is pretty enticing. Especially, now with old popular PC games available for the Nintendo Switch. I don't care if I already have it on Steam, I want it for my Switch too!



SanDisk 1TB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - Up to 160MB/s, C10, U3, V30, 4K, A2, Micro SD - SDSQXA1-1T00-GN6MA

I'm thinking of maybe one day trying the 1TB MicroSD card on my Nintendo Switch. Hopefully, there'll be a 2TB or even higher version that can be used for gaming on the Switch. Some people might ask what the hell for (someone actually asked me on the comment section before)?

Well, I'm the type of person who likes to buy and download games on my Nintendo Switch. I like the feeling of having all the games to play on the go whenever I want. I do sometimes, get the physical version too. But, nowadays, most of them are digital downloads from Nintendo online stores.



SanDisk 400GB Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - 100MB/s, C10, U1, Full HD, A1, Micro SD Card - SDSQUAR-400G-GN6MA

Another question that I always received in my comment section about the card is why it doesn't show the 512GB advertised storage size. It's an old technical story and you can read about it on Google. Just do a quick search. Although, I've also read that now there is a card that shows the exact size.

Unless the manufacturer does something about it, you'll find when you check the card available left is a little less than 512GB. I think mine is shown to have 475GB. I also think most of them that asked me about this are kids that didn't know or bother to read about the history of the MicroSD card.



SanDisk 512GB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - Up to 160MB/s, C10, U3, V30, 4K, A2, Micro SD - SDSQXA1-512G-GN6MA

Another important thing to note is the read and write speed. I basically tried my luck when I got myself the 512GB microSD card. I got the fastest and the best affordable price. The standard read is 100mb/s and the write is 90mb/s. Class 10 with 4K ability.

There are some cards that claim up to 160mb/s read. Personally, I didn't find any kind of lag or stutters when I played games stored on my MicroSD card. Everything seems to be running smoothly and don't have any kind of weird problem like some others complain.

My advice if you have any kind of problem with the card is to test with other devices. If it works on other devices, probably need to reformat it on your PC. If not, it's probably a bad card. Return or exchange for a new one. Be careful of fake cheap cards!

ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo SE 15 Ultimate Gaming Laptop


ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo SE 15 Gaming Laptop, 15.6” 300Hz IPS Type FHD Display, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, 32GB DDR4, 1TB PCIe SSD, Per-Key RGB Keyboard, Windows 10 Pro, GX551QR-XS98

Hey guys,

Quick promo!

Sigh! If only I'm rich. I'm practically salivating at owning this Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo SE 15 ultimate gaming and even work laptop!

What I really love is the dual-screen. Frankly, at first, I thought this was a joke. But, after I've started using multiple monitors in my daily computer setup, I realized, it's actually pretty useful.

You can play games, watch youtube and use social media at the same time. I can blog, do research on Google, check my phone notifications, Whatsapp on the second screen just like my Pc setup. When I use my normal laptop, I actually miss this multiple-screen setup.



ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo SE 15 Gaming Laptop, 15.6” 300Hz IPS Type FHD Display, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, 32GB DDR4, 1TB PCIe SSD, Per-Key RGB Keyboard, Windows 10 Pro, GX551QR-XS98

  • ROG ScreenPad Plus: 14-inch secondary touchscreen display | Game, Stream, Create, and more!
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6 with ROG Boost
  • Latest 5th Gen AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX Processor (16M Cache, up to 4.5 GHz)
  • 300Hz 3ms 15.6” Full HD 1920x1080 IPS-Type PANTONE Validated Display
  • 32GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM | 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD
  • Comes with Windows 10 Professional and a FREE upgrade to Windows 11 (when available1)
The specs are another thing to marvel at. The design is pretty cool too. I'm a sucker for good design. No matter if it's a mobile phone, gaming console, or laptop. Design is at the top of my requirement list!

I'll love to test this laptop and see how good it really is. In the picture, it looks pretty big and heavy. You don't want it to just stick to your desktop. Especially, since it's a portable pc.

If you have the dough, definitely recommended going for it. I'll be freaking jealous if you do. Lol!

Sunday Retro Fun with Apple II Emulator!


Razer Blade 15 Base Gaming Laptop 2020: Intel Core i7-10750H 6-Core, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, 15.6" FHD 1080p 120Hz, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, CNC Aluminum, Chroma RGB Lighting, Thunderbolt 3, Black

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've always been interested in computers since I was a kid. The first time, I touch a computer was in a military show in the mid-80s. I think I went straight to the computer booth a second time with my family. I'm not sure but I think, the first time was with my school class.

Even though it was my first time, it felt natural. I forget all about it until after my Army stint and I got a job with a government department. That's where I get to learn to use the computer for work and for play. It was such a fun time working there.

I just remembered that we actually have computer class when I went to a technical school to learn automotive engineering. But, I didn't really learn anything as the teacher only let us play games. And, we had to share so, I didn't get to do much.

I've actually worked in an Apple factory before and back then, I was pretty impressed with the video capability. It was such a long time ago, I don't even remember what kind of Apple computer it was. Everything is a blur to me right now. One time I met an Apple fanboy that won't touch a PC. Now, that's hardcore. Lol.

The only interesting part of my life was when I get to own a computer. That was when I really dabbled with everything that I need to know about it. I remember having to reformat my computer a dozen times because I fcked it up so bad. That's what you call learning by trial and error. Haha!

Frankly, there are things that I know now that I wish I had learned during that early days. That's why I love emulators. With emulators, I get to re-discover things that I should have done differently all those years ago. Best of all, I get to try out an old operating system that I didn't get the chance to play with.

Gaming is part of everyone's life growing up and me too, no less. But, I grew up in a poor, broken family that doesn't even have a house of our own until later on in our life. I remember playing games in a neighbor's or friend's house and at a small arcade shop.

The only thing that sticks with me is how sore my thumbs were. Being a kid during the early days of gaming and computer time means, there are things that I didn't get the chance to learn or play with. Like I've said, that's why I freaking love emulators.

The thing I really LOVE most is the laptop. The first time, I saw a laptop, I knew I want one. Don't exactly remember where I actually first saw one though. I only remember I had to sell my soul to get it. Somehow, I managed to get my hands on several different brands throughout the years.

Like they say, if you want something badly, you'll get it hooked or by crooked. Nowadays, you can easily get to enjoy all the glory of the past and probably the future. You have a computer right in your pockets. And, emulators are also available for them.

I guess I have to thanks the genius that created them for us oldie lovers. One thing I hope is that maybe the companies can do a retro build of their machine for the future gens. I'll love to get my hands on the early Apple I or II. Heck, I still have diskettes of files from the 90s. 

Wish, I didn't throw away or sold my old PC and laptops. I still keep lots of old diskettes, CDs, thumb drives of games, and software (mostly copyrights). The thing is, because of emulators, lots of the files I saved back then are now easily available online. :p

Check out archive.org full of emulators, games, and old software. Pretty cool!

Nintendo Switch lite - Aground - Survival Crafting Mining Building - gameplay


Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've talked about indie and free-to-play mobile games coming to the Nintendo Switch. And, they keep coming. Yesterday, I get the chance to download and play the game Aground (eShop). An interesting survival/mining/crafting 2D Rpg game and I must say, I quite enjoy playing it on my Nintendo Switch lite.

Frankly, I don't play this kind of game much. As I prefer racing and fps shooter game. It's still fun though. And being able to play it on the go is why I like my Switch lite so much. You can play, saved, stop and then play again. Just like playing a mobile game only better because there's a proper controller.



Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

Talking about the proper controller, you can quickly learn which buttons to use as the game will show the icon to guide you. I read that the game dev didn't want an open world type of survival game and they prefer to let the player focus on mining, crafting tools, and building.

That's why I felt like you're not wasting time and can quickly build and grow your own community. There's a little bit of action as wild boars will come and attack you. Playing the game, I realized that players will be spending hours on it as there seems so much to do and managed.



Aground (Original Game Soundtrack) (Deluxe Edition)

One thing I notice is how relaxing the game music is. There's been a few games that include a music player that gamers can listen to on their Nintendo Switch. As there's no real music player on the Switch that you can listen to your own music, 

I don't know why Nintendo doesn't have a music or video player. They have it on the 3DS. In fact, the Switch has a much better screen and probably sound. Besides gaming, I use my switch lite to watch youtube and listen to music before I sleep.



Nintendo Switch Lite - Gray

This game isn't actually new. It's also available on other platforms. Personally, for me, it really fits playing on a Nintendo Switch or in my case the Nintendo Switch lite. You don't need big storage to install this game and I think it's pretty light on the battery, so you'll be able to play for longer hours.

This kind of game can be pretty addictive. As you're always mining, crafting, and building. You'll be fighting monsters and soon you'll even be able to build spaceships and fly out to space. Yup, don't let the simple 2D graphics fool you. This game is much much more than your simple mobile game.



Afterglow Prismatic LED Deluxe Wireless Controller: Multicolor - Nintendo Switch

The game dev also said that Aground kinda is like the text-based game, A Dark Room. Which, I also play. I like text-based games and Aground has a little bit of that. Like I keep saying, this kind of game really fits into the Nintendo Switch.

Being able to play this game on the go like mobile gaming. Only that, you have a better playing experience because of the easier and much better control with a real game controller. I can't stress how much better the Switch lite is for gaming than a mobile phone.

Check out some of the official graphics below:










You can watch my Aground gameplay on my youtube channel here!

The game will only be able to be played on Feb 11, 2021. But, you can add it to your wish list now!

Click here to visit the Aground eShop page. Definitely, one of my favorite survival, an adventure game to be played on my Nintendo Switch lite. Play it any time and anywhere!
