Destiny to Start Beta for Xbox and Playstation July 23rd

Bungie will be launching the beta for Destiny on both Xbox 360 and Xbox One consoles July 23rd (for some reason Playstation gets it earlier on July 17th). The game looks like it could be a whole lot of fun. Given, it still looks like another Halo, but at least it’s one with a whole new twist in storyline. The Halo franchise has been a blast to play, so here’s hoping Destiny is just as cool.

Currently, you can only jump on board by pre-ordering the game.

The beta only runs until the 27th, so if you have pre-ordered it, you better get your gameplay in while you have a chance. It’s going to be a mad rush to get in as much playtime as possible. The game doesn’t come out until November 9th.

DJI-Phantom-2-Vision-Plus

I am purchasing a Phantom 2 Vision+ Drone and will be hanging with the guys at Poc Network Tech Blog who will be doing a full review on it which I will share below once it happens.

This bad boy is ready to fly right out of the box and I look forward to sharing what it can do. Int he meantime, I’ll explain exactly what I am getting now so you get a head start at 1) knowing exactly what’s involved and 2) tagging along if you have the itch to get one yourself! The Phantom comes ready to fly and record (as long as you get a MicroSD card), with and extra battery (if you get the below one) and live video feed (iPhone or Android devices). Wait for the review or grab one now, the following four items is what I will be getting:

 

That’s it! I’ll share the review when it happens. I think they are waiting on additional intel from DJI before they make their move.

UPDATE:

The review has been published by them and can be found here! Looks like it got an 8/10. They also covered my costs due to some “crashing” that took place during their tests lol.

Mt Charleston (NV) has been under a lot of construction due to last year’s “Carpenter One” fire which damaged many many acres, of forest and luscious scenery. Half the trails are closed to hikers, but there are still many things to do. Visit the lodge, the cabins, the restaurants…or film a simulated race coming down from the highest (drivable) peak. Super charge the speed of the video, add some visual and audible effects…and you get:

Windows Phone 8.1 Updated Coming

wp-8.1Microsoft will be launching the update process for the new Windows Phone 8.1 update to all of the carriers. That means for those of us with Windows 8 phones, it won’t (hopefully) be long. As long as AT&T, Verizon and everyone else doesn’t make us wait months again after Microsoft launched this kind of news. The new Cortana will be coming with it, and I know I can’t wait (assuming it’s everything they claim it to be). Plus, the inner Halo geek in me just wants to be able to talk to Cortana.

There are some really nice updates coming though. The Nokia Icon (Verizon) already has Windows 8.1 installed on it which is really nice. I haven’t played with the phone yet since I am on another carrier but so far there has been cluster of great feedback and news in regards to it.

Here is hoping that the 8.1 update is everything it seems to be.
