» Remember how blown away we all were when we saw Tony Stark had an AI butler named Jarvis? That's not entirely impossible now. It's called "home automation" and these home automations come together to make a "smart house" -- you know, like a smartphone. That means you can set up every aspect of your home so that it automatically does stuff for you. In other words, it's a lazy person's dream. You can also control it via your phone or hands-free through an AI assistant whether it be Siri, Google or Alexa, as long as it's all connected to the Wi-Fi.

Guardians of the Galaxy
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 20/10/2017
» Three years after the original was released, Destiny 2 finally hit shelves after much excitement. Bungie's mythic sci-fi FPS (that's "first-person shooter" for you noobs) stays true to its roots in being chock-filled with multiplayer features and making you obsessed with making sure your character's power level reaches high numbers by getting the rarest and most powerful loot through quests and public events. Of course, there's also the campaign for you to play through, but is this going to be another case of "expansion overload" like the first game? Does Destiny 2's multiplayer features make you want to play it over and over again, even if you're done with the story? Basically, the real question is: "Is this worth my money?"
