Comment Android "Lite" Apps (Score 1) 386

With the mobile push to India/Africa a couple of vendors have started to push "Lite" versions of their Android apps. Although not available via the Google Play store in the US/UK they still work fine and dandy if side-loaded. Highly recommended... Facebook Lite: 1.5mb - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/... Linked In Lite: 0.64mb - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/...

Journal Journal: Cognitive dissonance (and yes, I'm guilty as are you)

No doubt some of you know what the two big words in the title mean. I had a vague idea but after reading the article linked below, I have a much better understanding of what they mean. If you already know what they mean, read the article anyway for some possible insights. If you don't know what they mean, definitely read it and think about how the term applies to you.

Manhunt 2 Ban Fallout, Game Rated AO By ESRB 384

In the wake of yesterday's announcement of a UK ban on Manhunt 2 , Rockstar has registered its disappointment at the BBFC's decision. The company simply stated that they 'respect those who have different opinions about the horror genre and videogames as a whole, but we hope they will also consider the opinions of the adult gamers for whom this product is intended.' Meanwhile, here in the US, the ESRB has given the game the dreaded AO rating, for adults only. If you're unfamiliar with this seldom-seen designation, it's essentially the 'kiss of death' for a title at retail; a number of popular videogame outlets refuse to carry titles with that rating. MTV's Stephen Totilo has a lengthy and considered discussion of these proceedings. "For 'Manhunt 2,' signs pointed to the title being both less and more extreme than the first. Gone from press previews were mentions of snuff films and Directors. Instead, a more traditionally violent video game premise: one man's struggle to stay alive in an insane asylum gone mad."

Yes, reviews are still relevant. I don't actually read reviews online though, I still go to my prefered PC Mag, which has reviewers that I trust, who get paid for reviewing games, not some guy blogging about it.
