Recorders are an integral part of a journalist’s repertoire, regardless of whether or it it’s audio or video. However, students also utilize them for notes and lectures. Much like any other piece of technology, the size of the recorders has gone down drastically. Nowadays, you can get them as small as a business card or flash drive. ThinkGeek now sells an USB Digital Voice Recorder, but how does it fare? My interest in the USB Digital Voice Recorder came about after thinking of going back to school, as well as the idea of maybe doing audio interviews. The former is the main reason I wanted this device, as audio interviews might be tricky for me, although I have some ideas on how to accomplish them.

Regardless of whether or not we want to admit it, we all have different faces we put on to deal with different events that occur in our lives. For example, you might choose to keep your mouth shut while you're getting yelled at, rather than yelling back. How would you deal with a friend who has just been dumped? Or how about a fellow track team member who made a promise to their little cousin but is having difficulty keeping the promise, thanks to life? How you go about handling such things, what face you put on to do so, is your Persona. This is one of the core elements of Atlus’s PlayStation Portable (PSP) role-playing game (RPG), Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable (P3P).

As technology progresses, we are getting stuff that, not-so-long ago, was out of science fiction stories. Mobile devices, MP3 players and DVD players were all things we could only dream of, 15 years ago. Now ThinkGeek now sells Spycam Video/MP3/Camera Sunglasses, but are they a dream come true, or a nightmare? I first saw the Spycam Video/MP3/Camera Sunglasses ("Video Sunglasses" for the remainder of this review), while reviewing the 1.3 Megapixel Spy Camera Sunglasses ("Camera Sunglasses"). Being able to only use one hand, I've never been able to use a video camera, although the desire has been there since high school. Having a lot of success with the Camera Sunglasses, I decided to give the Video Sunglasses a try.

Movie adaptions rarely live up to the epicness of their source material. The X-Men, Super Mario Bros., and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies are some examples of this, while the Lord of the Rings trilogy is something that has lived up to the source material. How does The Last Airbender fare -- does it blow you away, or is it just hot air?

Preferences: we all have them. Whether you like Coca-Cola over Pepsi, subtitled anime over dubbed, or dogs over cats. As gamers, some prefer to play shooters with a controller, while others prefer to use a keyboard and mouse. However you can't use a keyboard and mouse (to play games) on a console... Or can you? The XCM XFPS Rateup Adapter for PS3 aims to change that. Still, the question remains: Does it hit its mark, or does it shoot itself in the foot?

Felicia Day's award-winning webseries, The Guild returns for a third season. The series tells the story of a local guild and their adventures both in and outside of the game. Following the troubling conclusion of season 2, tempers flare and a rival guild shows up. Things escalate when the rival guild starts terrorizing the Knights of Good in-game and out. Will the Knights of Good survive the trials and tribulations, or will anarchy reign supreme?

Within the last decade or so, whether it is due to slimlining or just new chipsets, video game systems have had many reincarnations, the latest most notably being Nintendo's DSi XL. However, last October, Sony released a new incarnation of its PSP, named the PSPgo, commonly referred to as just the Go (its model number is PSP-N1000, as opposed to other models PSP-1000, PSP-2000, and PSP-3000). But the question remains: Is the device good to go, or should we take a detour around it?

Fictional secret agents, such as the iconic James Bond, have had cool gadgets like pen-bombs, laser-shooting wristwatches, and grappling hook belts. Now technology has gotten to a point where normal people (like you and I) can have such gadgets. ThinkGeek (a shopping site for geeks) now sells Spy Camera Sunglasses, but are they suitable for their intended mission, or should they be terminated?

For every action, there is a reaction. Whether we go to work and get paid, or don't study and fail an exam, everything we do has an impact on the future. This is one of the first lessons we learn in life, and it's the main theme of French developer Quantic Dream's latest title, Heavy Rain.

After 4 years without a new original album (2007's 0079-0088 was a Gundam cover album, and 2009's Slo-Pachinko Gladiator Evolution Original Soundtrack was just that -- a soundtrack), GACKT has returned with a new album entry in the RR (Requiem et Reminiscence) Project, RE:BORN. But does RE:BORN stand tall, or does it fall on its face?
