I like my Raspberry PI; it may be a little underpowered but when paired with XBMC, it pretty much trumps an Apple TV any day and the fact that it supports AirPlay makes it even cooler. The only issue would be the power supply which at the moment the device is powered by a third []
I must have missed entering a cinema for the past couple of years since I only caught whiff of the upcoming Angelina Jolie film, Maleficent. If the name sounds familiar, Maleficent is Mistress of All Evil from the 1959 Disney animated film, Sleeping Beauty. Yup, the one with the horns. Disney Interactive...

It seems every day video games are becoming more and more ‘Hollywood’. The likes of Grand Theft Auto have become so cinematic they’re almost worth being played on the big screen, whilst more and more names from the acting, music and sporting world are voicing our virtual stars.

What better way to kickstart the week by highlighting an interesting Kickstarter campaign, especially one that would appeal to both tabletop card gamers who play games such as Magic: The Gathering (MTG), World of WarCraft TCG, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and card collectors as well. Back in the day when I used to play MTG,...
I got to hand it to Blizzard, they really did a banged-up job with Reaper of Souls. The inclusion of Loot 2.0, Adventure Mode and Nephalem Rifts, along with the increased level cap has resulted in me investing more hours to date in Diablo III than Torchlight II (which I previously rated higher than the...
Do you own a smart watch? I consider my Garmin FR10 to be a smart watch, considering that it does a bang up job calculating the distance, speed and time during my runs and it even syncs with an online service (Garmin Connect) when it is connected to my Mac. Smart as it is, would []

Its been a crazy couple of weeks, with work and whatever free time I had left I spent with my family and trying to catch up with Diablo III: Reaper of Souls (which kinda explains the state of neglect on Nineoverten.com, a thousand apologies). Anyways, how has RoS been treating you so far? I think...

Last Sundays run at Bukit Jalil, the Brooks Half Marathon 2014 almost got cancelled by the organizers due to the haze. Coming from Klang (which fared poorer on the air quality index), Ive been chomping at the bit for a good run since the haze has resulted in me staying indoors most of the...

One thing about iOS 7s new UI aesthetic is that it lends itself very well to puzzle games, leading to games that reminded me of the zen-like design of the bit Generations titles that Nintendo had for the GBA. One such good looking example would be Origin, a brand new free-to-play puzzle game by...
