ModMic 5 Review

Written by PET on . Posted in Hardware Reviews

ModMic 5Welcome to my ModMic 5 Review! ModMic 5 is a modular microphone developed by Antlion Audio. It’s is the successor to the popular ModMic 4.

ModMic 5 comes to help people who want to have a microphone to their headphones, but they don’t want to purchase a headset. I also recently found out the differences. 🙂 Headphones are just speakers that you put on your head… Headsets are … a “set” that contain the speakers that you put on your head but also a microphone. Got it? 😀

The main problem with Headsets is their price. You might get good speakers in them, but the microphone will be crap. If you want both to be good you will have to pay a pretty good price.

I had the same problem in the past with my headsets. Right now I don’t even have a headset at home, which created a problem for me whenever I was playing games. I don’t want to sit with my studio microphone in my face when I’m playing games with my friends… so I had to use the Webcam Microphone which sucks ass and catches to many environment sounds.

So when I found out about ModMic 5 I got a little bit excited.

So let’s see what ModMic 5 is exactly.

Games I skipped – Episode #1

Written by PET on . Posted in Games

In the past years a lot of interesting games came out. Way to many games for a person to be able to play them and to make an article on them. There are so many games in my backlog that it actually clogs my mind. “On this game is cool I have to try it out. I want to play X game but I will only do it after I cover Y game, but I already started to cover the Z game so I have to bedone with that“.

This is a really annoying process. I started to not enjoy games that much, and games that I enjoy, I play them a bit than I move to the next one because I have to check other games to.

So I decided to just draw a line and be like… “I’m done with this game” and move on with my life.

Clockwork Empires

I have always loved tycoon & management type of games. Settlers 2 & 4, the Cultures series are some of my favorite games. I like this idea of having a group of people that have stats, that can improve. A group of people that are your people. When I saw this game I was a bit excited but then the game got out and I was a bit like… meh. I never liked the textures. The game just looks ugly! And yes I know that graphics arn’t everything. I play a lot of games with bad graphics because the gameplay is amazing, but here… I always found the gameplay a bit to slow and it was hard for me to get into the game.

Minimize Skype to system tray for Windows 10

Written by PET on . Posted in Software

Have you ever wondered how to Minimize Skype to System Tray for Windows 10? Oh well, I have some bad news!

So I decided to try out the new Skype for Windows 10. Ok, it looks a bit decent. I like the dark interface and it software also seems faster.

I pressed the X button with the idea of closing the app to System Tray. Nope. The app was gone! I enter the app again and decide to check the settings. There are no settings for “Minimize Skype to System Tray“!!

I go to google, minimize my searches for the past month and I see lot’s of topics with people asking the same thing! “How do you minimize Skype to system tray for Windows 10?“.

Lot’s of questions with no answers until I found this anwer from a Skype staff:

“For Skype on Windows 10 we analyzed usage data for all the settings in the Win32 client and found many of the more advanced settings were barely used. Because of the low usage we decided not include them in favor of getting other features in sooner.“

Here is a screenshot & here is the link to that topic:
Minimize Skype to System Tray Windows 10My GOD. Skype proves again that it’s the most incompetent software developer in the world. Not only that Skype over the past years barely improved and it still has a lot of old problems… not only that you can lose your Skype account without the ability to get it back… but man…

You push in a new update and you leave out a pretty basic feature. What do you think people will do? Just stay with Skype in the taskbar eating up important space? No! I fking want to MINIMIZE SKYPE TO SYSTEM TRAY!!!

Even in the old version it was a bit hard to find the option to do this.

You had to go to Settings > Advanced Settings and you had to UNCHECK a setting called “Keep Skype in the taskbar while I’m signed in“. Why call it something more normal like… “Minimize to system tray”? I guess that you might want to make the basic user understand what he is doing, but the basic user will not use this anyway, like that post was saying. However, a more advance user might just miss the option because he might skim trough the text. At least that’s how I did it a couple of times until I finally memorize where this shitty option was.

Battle Brothers Review

Written by PET on . Posted in Game Reviews

Welcome to my Battle Brothers Review! This is one of my 2017 surprises! One month from the launch I managed to log 66 hours on it and I’m eagerly awaiting the 1.1 update that will improve the game even more.

Battle Brothers is a turn-based tactical RPG where you lead a company of mercenaries in a randomized world.

Usually I don’t like Turn-Based Combat Games because you do a lot of waiting. You wait, to move, you wait, you move, you finally get to take a shot… you miss… then you wait, etc. I never knew exactly why. I also coudn’t explain myself on why I like Battle Brothers so much even that the main focus of the game (the combat) is also turn-based. Until it hit me!

It’s because of the animations! In those kind of Turn Based games where there are multiple “opponents” moving units, you do a lot of waiting, you see a lot of animations, you see the shot which is a miss or a hit… then you wait some more! I finally noticed this during an on-going fight between the Militia and some Bandits. I decided to join in the battle so I can get my hands in some loot. However, when you join in an on-going battle you don’t start with your army in formation, you usually join in from the sides (top/bottom) and you will do a lot of walking & end turn while you approach the enemy. Basically you don’t really do much. This is when it hit me why I don’t like those games! Good thing is that in Battle Brother those problems are to a minimum.

So what I like about Battle Brothers?
