Is Grand Theft Auto 4 the best GTA ever

Image
Grand Theft Auto (GTA) is an open world action-adventure video game. I completed GTA 4 in Jan 2018 and I loved it from the beginning till the last mission. I played GTA Vice City few years ago and clocked some gaming time with other variants of GTA, but my favourite so far is GTA 4. Great Story The intriguing story is the best part of GTA 4. The game follows an European immigrant in US and teaches a lot of life lessons on the way. As a gamer, we must take some decisions in the game that changes the course of the game. This makes the game even more interesting. At the end of the game, we are left with a feeling that money isn't everything. Image credit: Wikipedia Characters There are many characters that would leave a mark. My second favorite, followed by the protagonist Niko, is Little Jacob . He is a genuine person who values friendship more than money or his own life. Realistic Gameplay The car damage, bomb explosion and people' health is very realistic. I haven

The Everyday Watch

Image
I started using the crowd-funding platform  Kickstarter since the beginning of 2017 and have come across some great new ideas since then. I was also looking for a formal watch during that time and luckily stumbled across  The Everyday Watch . It's a good looking minimalist watch. Image courtesy: Plain Supplies I have been wearing it almost "every day" since I got it on May 2017 and I love it the more I use it. If I have to be nit-picky, it is that I have to change the date manually in a 30-day month. Having said that, it is only for 5 times in a year and it is not a big deal. The watch came along with 3 interchangeable wrist straps - leather, steel and nylon. If at all you are bored of the beautiful leather strap, you have 2 more options. Please refer to the graphic below for the complete specifications. Image courtesy: Plain Supplies Disclaimer: This is not a paid blog post.

What is Kickstarter and how does it work

Image
Kickstarter is a crowd funding platform that connects creators and backers from all the over the world to bring new ideas to life. The famous Pebble watch was launched as a Kickstarter project and is still the most funded project ever. Let's dive right in then. Creator Any individual/company who has a new product idea but doesn't have enough funds of his/her own. He/she submits his product in Kickstarter to collect funds from the members of Kickstarter. Backer Member of Kickstarter who funds the project(s) of his/her liking. If you back a project, you become a backer.

What has it done to me

It has improved my knowledge in various topics. It taught me more about good manners . I didn't know about so many types of car, before it. It exposed me to some of the best resume formats . It helped me to know about 100+  Indian inventions . I learned more about Nokia because of it. I brush my teeth with my left hand because of it. Now my left hand control is better.  I now close the toilet sink before I flush, because it made me aware about "toilet plume". ..and many more. The list goes on. I've been referring to the question-and-answer site  Quora . Quora is a great platform to learn new things and share your knowledge. According to me, Quora provides a much better value for your time when compared to Facebook or other social media platforms. If you haven't joined Quora yet, please give it a try. Thanks.

How to improve iPhone battery life

* Enable Auto-Brightness from Settings-Display & Brightness. * Turn off location services for some system services. You can find it in Settings-Privacy-Location Services-System Services. My current setting is in the picture. * Turn Bluetooth off when you are not using it. * Enable notifications only for those apps that needs your immediate attention. * Turn off “Background App Refresh” from Settings-General. Hope this helps. Thanks.

iPhone 7 review

Image
Design See the picture below. These are 3 different models of iPhone released in the last 2 years. Do you see any difference? You get my point don't you. It's been the same since iPhone 6 released in September 2014. Camera This seems to have improved, at least with iPhone 7 Plus. I'd love to see the new camera mode abilities in the future versions of iOS. iOS I used to love it when I first started using the iPhone. The addition of new features have been very less in every major update. No innovation here too. In fact, there was an update with a change in font and nothing else worth mentioning. I know that iOS works well (may be the best) with the hardware, but that's no excuse to hold up new features for future releases. Performance Well, there's no surprise here. It's one of the best in terms of performance. If you want a good phone with a good interface that always responds on time, iPhone 7 will always be there for you. Haptic Home Button
