Silver Screen / A Winnie the Pooh Indie Slasher Movie Coming
« on: May 27, 2022, 07:47:52 PM »
Winnie the Pooh has entered the Public Domain.  As a result, anyone can use the character from the book. (Not the one from Disney.) This has created the unusual scenario where Winnie the Pooh becomes a Serial Killer.

Yeah, I'm not going to see this.  However, it is interesting to note that this beloved character is now in the Public Domain.

That's all I want to say right now.  See ya later! :wave

Computer and Electronics / RIP My Desktop
« on: November 03, 2021, 07:35:35 PM »
I am currently on my Laptop.

I went to turn on my Desktop today and it shorted out. :( This kind of hurts.  This is my Desktop that Forum User landbeforetimelover helped me get the parts for and me and my dad put together some time ago.  I had it for around a decade.  After all this time, it has met it's end.  I feel it had a good run.

This is also the Desktop that I did a lot of early videos on.  I did quite a bit on it.  It's been reformatted multiple times and has had it's share of problems, but it's finally met it's end.

I'm about to (hopefully) get a new part-time job.  I'm not leaving my current job.  This is just something on the side to get me some extra cash. (Which I need at this point.) The job requires a computer and I was planning to use my Desktop for it.  Guess that's out of the question at this point.  Forced to use my Laptop, I guess.

I was able to take the test on my Laptop.  Here's hoping I passed.  If I did, I plan to put a portion of the money towards a new Desktop, eventually. (This will be after the other bills I need to pay.)

I won't have a new Desktop for a while.  So, in the meantime, I'll be on my Laptop.

Here's hoping for the best.

See ya later! :wave

Computer and Electronics / Muama Ryoko - A Handheld Modem
« on: September 07, 2021, 07:16:31 AM »
Introducing, the Muama Ryoko, a wi-fi Modem you can take with you.


https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PvugcObFBoB9ZapRGkv7a_Y0VOCBIB2c/view?usp=sharing

I got this less than a week ago and have been testing it.  I had a difficulty or two getting it to work, but I got it working.

Now, I will admit that I got a little distraught when I saw the reviews of some not getting theirs.  However, I took precautions and paid via Paypal.  That way, if I didn't get it, I would be able to refund it with little trouble.  I chose to give them a month due to the chip shortage going on.  I got mine in a little over two weeks.  Looks like since it arrived, and it freaking works, they can keep my money.

The modem comes with a SIM Card that gives you 500 MB to use at your leisure.  I'm using it as a test.

I want all of you to look at the following comparison I made.

https://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=2323.msg530604#msg530604

The top one is the Muama Ryoko.  The bottom is my current plan from Comcast, (not connected via Ethernet Cable) which I pay $100 per month for.  Needless to say, I might be switching providers soon, considering the two are rather close to one another in terms of speed.  Now, the advertisement does boast far better speed.  I'll have to mess around with it to see if I can do better.  At this point, it's tempting to switch.

I will note that the main problem I had was connecting my phone to it.  Why it only worked after I scanned the QR Code is beyond me.  At least once I got it connected it worked.  I can connect to articles and YouTube with little trouble.  The fact I can watch videos on it with little trouble was a good deal.  One thing I'll note is how it changed the advertisements I get.  They were all in a foreign language.  I'm guessing it has to do with it connecting to the main server, which I found to be in Estonia of all places.

I tested my laptop with it and could connect to my favorite stuff with little trouble.  Sites tend to work quite well.  I ran into hardly any issues.  I am hesitant to go onto my main money making site with it.  I don't want to risk my account there at the moment.

I gave it a test go last night when me and my parents went out to eat.  The place we chose doesn't have wi-fi.  So, imagine me being able to connect to the internet at the restaurant thanks to this.  No real problems there whatsoever.

However, my main test will be online gaming and Netflix/Disney+, which I'll be doing soon.

At this point, if you want to get onto the internet to watch YouTube videos, you could do a lot worse. (And in some cases for a lot more.)

It has been a nice experience so far.  I really don't hate this.

Is it worth what I paid for?  We'll see soon.

Gamers Zone / A Video Look at Unreal Engine 5
« on: August 31, 2021, 06:34:31 AM »
Unreal Engine 5 was released to the public earlier this year.  If you haven't seen what people are doing with it, then you are missing out.  It really is something amazing.  Here's a video by ColdFusion (Highly recommend checking out their videos.) that shows what's possible.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47I2N_l47mw

I'm looking forward to what Unreal can bring.  This will be a very interesting time in gaming.

Sports / The 2020 (2021) Summer Paralympic Games
« on: August 23, 2021, 05:31:21 PM »
As promised, less than a day before it starts, here is the thread for the 2020 Paralympic Games.

I must say, I am both happy and annoyed with some of the things going on as of late with this.  From record breaking LGBT+ people attending, to The Taliban making it impossible for Afghanistan compete this year, there seems to be no shortage of both good and bad reports surrounding the games this year.  It has made it one of the more interesting and engaging Paralympic Games ever.  In a strange way, it's kind of the boost this version of the games needed.

Anyways, here is the website to keep up to date with the Paralympic Games.

https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/en/paralympics/

Of course, just like the Olympics, I do very much like the mascot for the Paralympic Games this year.  Heck, I like her more than I do the Olympics one.

https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/en/paralympics/games/paralympics-mascot/

I plan to purchase a plushie of the both of them soon.

Hope you all enjoy the games, and I'll see ya later! :wave

Sports / The 2020 (2021) Summer Olympic Games
« on: July 22, 2021, 05:19:44 AM »
Hello, Everyone!  It is finally time for the Summer Olympic Games to take place in Tokyo, Japan.

Despite it taking place one year later, it is STILL being called the 2020 Summer Olympics.  I understand to some that is factually wrong, but that is beside the point.

Anyways, this year, even though the Opening Ceremony is tomorrow, there are Competitions taking place right now.  It's just Football (Soccer) and Baseball at the moment.  However, Shooting should begin later today, and Archery, Equestrian and Rowing should start tomorrow.  You can find all the info you need at the link below.

https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/en/

I'm still curious as to what they'll do with the Opening Ceremony.  Also, I must say that I do like the mascot for this year's Olympics quite a bit.

https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/en/games/olympics-mascot/

Heck, I like it so much, this is one of the rare instances I'm thinking of getting a plush of it.  Too bad it won't arrive until AFTER it's over regardless of where I shop for it.  I guess those are the breaks in life.

Despite all the problems happening, hope you all enjoy the Competitions.

See ya later! :wave

Gamers Zone / e3 2021
« on: June 09, 2021, 05:14:41 PM »
I guess this thing's not dead yet!  Yep, e3 is back after not being around last year due to that darn virus.

Let's see what we got this year.



Yeah, quite a lot this year.  I won't check out everything, (Work makes that difficult this year.) but I'll see what I can squeeze in for this place.

It is all online this year, so we'll see what we get.

I'll at least give my thoughts for Microsoft and Nintendo.

Until this all comes up, see ya all then!

Silver Screen / Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)
« on: January 06, 2021, 07:28:19 PM »
Okay, if there was at least one good thing about 2020, it was the movie Sonic the Hedgehog.  Got this for Christmas.  Watched it and I LOVE IT! :D :wub

Seriously, this is awesome!  A really good origin story, and the characters are wonderful.  Especially Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik.  I could tell that he was just having a blast with this role.  I loved every minute he was on screen.  Not to mention that I could see the real Eggman/Robotnik in the games doing a few of the things here.

Sonic was also good.  I enjoyed his attitude and he was a riot at times.

At this point, I am very much looking forward to the sequel that will have Miles "Tails" Prower. (My favorite Sonic Character, hands down.) I can't wait for it to come.

Tom & Jerry - A Nutcracker Tale
The Nightmare Before Christmas
