Tech | Multi-player gaming on ONE screen. That’s right, ONE SCREEN.
February 21, 2012 Tech3D is the only thing worth talking about these days when it comes to televisions. Sony, who are always at the forefront of television, first gave us the idea of using 3D technology to display two simultaneous video feeds on one TV last year. Philips now wants to get in on the action and have given us this. The Philips’ 6000 and 7000 3D TVs are similar to the Sony Playstation 3D. The users must wear a pair of very fashionable 3D glasses. The brilliant thing about the glasses is that each pair receives a different video feed, which means that each [...]

Yes I’m Afraid Of The Dark, Now WilI You Please Quit Asking
February 20, 2012 ThrowbackTruly one of the best shows of the Snick line-up, this show was like our Twilight Zone. With everything from sadistic traveling magicians to literal chameleons turning into people, this was the ultimate don’t talk to strangers warning. Each week the same group of creepy teens opted to spend their Saturday night around a campfire in the woods totally freaking eachother out. Yeah that’s normal teen behavior. But I tuned in each Saturday without fail. Of course I was in elementary school so I didn’t have much else going on. Some of these episodes were creepy, some were scary and [...]

February 20, 2012 The LowdownTwo Iranian Warships Sail Through Suez Canal. On Saturday, two Iranian warships were spotted crossing through Egypt’s Suez Canal.
