The DreamGaze Glasses are among one of the most useful things that I have purchased on Amazon site.
The glasses which have a tinted color on the lenses are very useful at blocking out blue light on multiple types of electronics such as cell phones, tablets and computers.
I use my computer heavily and I used many brands, but they were often insufficient to protect my eyes from the blue light. I would often be exhausted and tired after using some glasses. This did not occur when I was using the DreamGaze glasses. They are lightweight and easy to use. Unlike some I got from Walmart which were breaking after using them for a bit, the DreamGaze glasses are very durable.
The glasses are not that expensive. The Gaming version of the DreamGaze glasses were only $12.99 on the site. There are also other version such as “Clear” and “Night Vision”.
Considering the price of these glasses. I think they are worth the money. The Gaming glasses are considered “Amazon Choice” which means they are highly rated by the company and ready to ship quickly to your house.
I recommend buying the DreamGaze Glasses if you use your computer alot in the evening or in the morning hours.
Empire Earth 2 is growing on me, and I enjoy it in spite of it being 20 years old now. That the game is so playable is a testament to how the developers managed to create a worthy sequel. While some may say that it strays too far away from the original game, I think that it is a worthy game that is well worth your time. Even if you are RTS aficionado who only plays Starcraft games, I think that this game is a great addition to one’s catalog.
One of my most favorite aspects of this game is the weather. It is great to see the rain falling in the Spring and the snow falling in the winter. This adds so much character to the game. Empire Earth was great at its use with the day and night cycles, especially in the campaigns. However, Empire Earth 2 took it to another level and make it even better.
The great thing about the weather in Empire Earth 2 is that it is integrated into the game. The game actually tells you about weather in the game. The outposts which function as the equivalent to towers from Empire Earth are also able to tell the Weather to the player. In comparison with most games, this is one of the most innovative features in the RTS space that I have ever seen. It is very rare for any video game to take weather seriously except a couple games. However, in Empire Earth 2, the weather is a player of its own.
In the screenshot, you can see that the weather effects in Empire Earth 2, despite being 20 years old, have a weight to them. In many games that I have been in have had this effect. Being a man who loves the winter, seeing these winter storms is a treat.
Even when it is raining, you can really get the feeling of those rainstorms. The lightning strikes and noise of thunder all add great character to the game.
Another aspect which shows the attention to details is that the amount of snow that is collecting on the roofs of buildings in the game. Unlike in older games, the game was made in a way that shows this change instead of treating like an static weather effect. Star Wars: Empire at War, which came out a year after Empire Earth 2 also heavily utilized weather effects in gameplay. Interestingly, there was a cluster of games in the mid 2000s that seemed to really emphasize such features in their games.
It shows that experimentation while respecting the past is an important part of making video games. In my opinion, the video game industry has simply become too comfortable with rising sales on the backs of their subscription services and the mobile app stores.
I think that looking back at the past is what the video game industry really needs right now. If anything, it shows that older isn’t necessarily worse than the new. There is much that older video games can teach us.
The M720 Triathlon is one of the best mice for the right price.
The humble computer mouse has gone through quite a journey. The mouse now is a slick and comfortable piece of hardware, but not all mice are built the same.
The Logitech M720 Triathlon Mouse is one of those mice that is well worth the money. Unlike other mice such as those sold at Walmart, this mouse is slightly above the budget price point of other mice.
My previous mouse, a smaller Logitech mouse, was not as comfortable to use.
Unlike the older mouse, this mouse has interesting and unique features in comparison.
One of the unique features to the M720 Triathlon Mouse is the button in the center of the mouse.
The middle button, located near the mouse wheel functions as a way of increasing scroll speed on the cursor. When the button is loose, the scroll speed is much faster on the browsers. Pressing it down when put the scroll speed back to a regular speed on the browser; such a feature is useful for when you are trying to get through long pages quickly on the computer.
The mouse also has three buttons on the left side of the mouse. These buttons can be mapped for any function in any program of your choice. Having these extra buttons make this mouse more useful for people who are looking for easier ways to multitask at the office or for some gamers looking for a budget mouse.
Gamers, specifically, may want a mouse that has more buttons on it. I find the M720 Triathlon mouse to be more useful in an office setting than in the gaming or video editing settings.
What is the price of the M720 Triathlon Mouse?
The Mouse is available for 34.99 at Walmart. It is pricer than some smaller, Logitech mice, but it is worth the additional investment due to its ergonomics and extra buttons.
