Hey guys,

Check it out!

I love playing retro games. Although, as a child growing up, I only get to play games at the arcade after school and playing the neighbor gaming console. Frankly, I can't remember much but I do remember getting fed up at Contra and blisters on my thumbs.

My parents were divorced when I was around nine. Together with my mom and little sis, we moved around a lot. We were living in a rented room until finally, we got our own house. Gaming was far from my mind with school and having to join the military.

I got a job as a civil servant and started to learn to use a computer. During breaks, my colleague would play old retro games on their PC which was saved on a diskette. I've always loved the computer since I first saw it in a military trade show when I was a kid.

I got my own computer with Windows 3.1 and later upgrade to windows 95. I continued to learn and play games on my PC. When I got my bonus pay, I spend it all on the new Sony Playstation. I had earlier tried it out at one of my colleague's home. Pretty impressed with the 3D game graphics then.

I actually got the modified version of the PS1. That means I could buy cheap copy games for like 3 for $10. My little nephew loved playing games on it. He would come into my room and asked me if he could play. Sometimes, he'll get stuck and asked me for help. Now, he's all grown up and the one that teaches me to play the latest game. lol.

Anyway, a few years back I discovered RetroArch and how to play retro games on your PC or Raspberry pi. It was like heaven. Now, I can play all the old retro games that I either have played or never got the chance to play before.

Nowadays, retro gaming is the norm. You can buy any retro gaming console that is out there right now. You can also DIY. There are many cheap computers available that you can turn into an entertainment and retro gaming system for your home.

If you're looking for a good computer to turn into an entertainment and retro gaming system, this mini PC windows 10 pro would be great. I especially like the small box size. It won't look out of place beside your big-screen 4K TV.

You can link up the system via Bluetooth to your speakers to listen to your favorite music via Spotify or to your controller to start playing retro games. Remember, this is a windows PC so, you can also download apps like Netflix to watch movies.

I like to use Kodi for watching movies. The two most important software or apps that I always download is Kodi and Retroarch. If you want to learn how to watch free movies, click here to visit this website. Use Ivacy VPN for Kodi.

A mini windows 10 PC is a really great entertainment and retro gaming system for the living room. And, of course, you can also use it like any other PC. Get a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to check and reply to your emails quickly, watch youtube and surf websites right on your couch.

If you have a Samsung phone like my Note 10+, you can even mirror it via Microsoft your app or Samsung Dex. You'll need an adapter to connect your phone to the TV and be able to share your photos, check phone notifications, play android games and even video call with Whatsapp.

Pretty cool. What you guys think?

Razer Phone 3 Cancelled and Razer Phone Fail?

Razer Phone 2 (New): Unlocked Gaming Smartphone – 120Hz QHD Display – Snapdragon 845 – Wireless Charging – Chroma – 8GB RAM - 64GB - Mirror Black Finish

Hey guys,

Check it out!

The first time, I heard the news about Razer's phone 3 being canceled was from my colleague at work. I didn't really understand what he was talking about 'till I read the news. It's just a rumor but apparently, there was a leak on staff being laid off and phone division closed down.

I was really, surprised. Here, I am, still using the first-gen phone and Razer phone 2 just came out last year.  Now they're even offering it off $150. What's the deal? Why Razer why? We need their C.E.O @minliangtan to come out and tell us the truth!

The first time, I got the phone, it felt nice to the touch and loved the blackberry-ish design. It was thin, got two great speakers, and 120 GHz for gaming. Although, I had a problem during the first setup and subsequently while using it. I blame it on android though. Not, really a fan.

Once, I discovered that the Microsoft app I was using, that was causing the hangup. I deleted it and returned to the stock theme. The phone does, hangup once in awhile. I still blame android for it. Other, then that, the phone is pretty solid. Too bad, I just bought the first-gen. I'd love to own the 2nd.

Like, I've said. I'm still surprised they're going to close down their phone project. Aren't they making money off it? Not, doing as well as we thought? Maybe, they realized by now, how difficult the phone market is. Hey, even Nokia lost its market share!

I thought they would continue to improve on their phone. Longer, battery lives with a better camera, especially for night picture taking and video recording. The first-gen was pretty bad. It made me miss my iPhone. But, there are things that I can do with it that you can't with an iPhone.

For starters, I can download retroarch and play retro games. I can pair it with my Bluetooth Xbox one s controller, keyboard, and mouse. I can also download Kodi to watch movies, listen to music, and even watch live tv shows.

Since it's using USB C for charging, I can even use a dongle to connect with my wired keyboard and mouse. Using, it likes a mini android computer device. That's why, I thought, Razer might create their own tablet. Razer, android gaming tablet?

Well, I'm not sure, what's Razer top brass are thinking and planning next. If they're really closing down their phone division, it'll be a bummer. Gamers, can't say, they have a dedicated gaming phone anymore. I wonder, what's the other company that created their own gaming phone will do now?

If you're thinking of getting the Razer Phone 2, they're offering off $150 till 28th Feb. So, don't miss out. It might be the last razer gaming phone available!

It's a pretty cool android phone!

Kodi and Retroarch app on my iPad pro 10.5!

Apple iPad Pro 10.5 Inch 256GB Silver (WiFi Only, Mid 2017) MPF02LL/A

Hey guys,

Check it out!

After searching around on Google, I finally found out how I can sideload two of my favorite apps!

I can't completely enjoy my entertainment devices, unless I can install both Kodi and Retroarch on it. With Kodi, you can watch movies, live tv and other shows. While with Retroarch, you can play all the retro games you want!

The apps aren't officially available on Apple store. That's why you have to find it elsewhere and sideload it to your apple devices. If you're also interested to install both of this apps, you can read up on the instructions below. Pretty easy as a pie!

Thanks to the guys that make these possible!

How to install Kodi and Retroarch on IOS 11?

1. Download Syncios IOS and Android File manager - Click here!
2. Download Cydia Impactor for sideloading apple .ipa file - Click here!
3. Download the latest Kodi .ipa file for iOS 11 (Article and instructions) - Click here!
4. Download the latest Retroarch .ipa file for iOS 11 ( Forum with updates and instructions ) - Click here!
5. To be able to sideload the .ipa file via cydia impactor, you'll need a one time random generated password to install the app. Sign-in to https://appleid.apple.com/ and you'll see inside your account page how to get it. It's better that way then using your main password. For every app, they'll create different random password!

Read up and follow the instructions via the articles and forum before you attempt to sideload the apps. You'll understand why you had to go through loops to install it the first time. It took me awhile to make sense of the procedure and error.

Goto Apple id to get random password for each app install.

For installing the apps to my iPad pro, the Syncios file manager supposed to be able to do that. But, it didn't work for me. That's why I decided to try cydia impactor route. It took me awhile to download my games rom to my iPad as I didn't know which folder to put it.

Click the 'eye' icon beside the Retroarch app to add new folder for your game roms.

I discovered that, I should have click the 'eye' icon beside the retroarch app and then create a new folder for the roms. Which would be easier for me to access. I tried to play a few games and it actually work!

Now, my iPad pro are really the best portable entertainment system!

razer phone how to setup and watch 2633 tv channels via kodi

Razer Phone - 120 Hz Ultra Motion Display - 64GB Memory - 8GB RAM - Dual Camera - Dual Front-Facing Speakers - Gaming Phone - Black

Hey guys,

Check it out!

If you didn't know yet, you can setup and watch 2633 live tv channels on your razer or android phone right now!

It's pretty quick and easy. Watch the video for more info!

You can't really watch all the 2633 channel though. Some of them didn't work when I tried. Not really sure why. I guess, if you're bored you can surf through all of the channels and just watch whatever on.

I like watching the NHK, japanese show and the weather channel. If you're a news junkies, there are some live local news channel you can watch too.

Of course, with kodi, you can practically use it as your entertainment system on the go. The Razer phone have really good speakers for watching mobile tv and movies too!

It does have Dolby atmos. You can check out the sound on my video above. Crisps, loud and clear!

It's definitely not just for gaming.

I've been using the Razer phone for a couple of months and even though, it's not perfect with a few hiccups. Especially, I still think, Apple IOS are better. Giving me less problem.

The good thing with android phone are that, I can install kodi and retroarch. You can't do that with an iPhone. If you're like me, having kodi and retroarch are important to you, then an android phone is for you.

I do miss, Apple garageband and iMovie though. For the life of me, I can't find anything better or simple to use as both of that app. Even, the video above are taken via my nephew old iphone 6. Edited and upload via iMovie!

Anyway, hope you enjoy the video!
