2014 Mid-Year Updates

I’m going to make a quick semi-free-writing rundown of tech stuff from this month.

Phones

o I messed up and got to fix my synchronized addressbook

Videogames

o Since May, EA Origin has given out for free, Dead Space (haven’t played it), Battlefield 3 (haven’t played it either), Plants vs. Zombies (haven’t played it in Origin), and Peggle. Yep, I’ve only played Peggle.

o I realized there ain’t gonna be a new NFS game this year. I guess having watched the movie on the big screen with mhae was more worth it.

o Steam buys and weekend wasters: Injustice and Arkham Asylum. Go DC!

o 2M likes on NFS World got me to run it again. I got 3 random cars that are ok but I wouldn’t have really chosen. At least none are american. Haha.

Hardware

o Still not able to fix that higher than the rest temperature on the 3rd core of my home pc

o Got to install work pc’s Thermaltake Frio and I’m happy with it. Lost 10 to 20 degrees. And it’s now overclocked to 4 GHz. I should really get myself to finish my 2 years… comparison.

Hardware News

o Intel’s released their Haswell Devil’s Canyon CPU’s and I’m very interested especially with the i5-4690K

o AMD’s new laptop APU’s are interesting

Those are pretty much what I can recall about June. Let’s see how the second half goes.
