When will this stop circulating? This is the second time I've seen it hit front page, and at least 7 of those acronyms are not acronyms at all.

It's educative, with the correct ones, but very misleading with the others.

Aragorn isn't a real name, right?

No sir... As fictional a name as 'Legolas'.

I was hoping to see his wife dressed in a Snow White costume, and his son dressed up like Aragorn, but alas.

The pictures with the Masked Man might be my favourite you've done. The one with the smoke, how did you achieve that? And then the one in front of the illuminated building is very nice.

Car Talk / Re: 2018 Volvo XC40 Unveiled As A Small Premium SUV - Photos. by HyDef(m): 3:41pm On Sep 25, 2017
I love the newer Volvo vehicles. The rear lights are quite attractive. This one is no exception, looks just as good as the others. It doesn't have those absurdly blocky SUV traits of nowadays. It's still got some shape. And Volvo is somewhat a pioneer in automotive safety, so I think it's a hit in my book.

Dude you are contradiction yourself, you were talking of FIFA or PES,now mario? yes mario was big but definitely have not been the talk of the town since the 90s. Plus if you watched the video,you would have known that emoji will not work on me.

I'm definitely not contradicting myself. You wanted me to throw soccer games off the table cuz of the points you made, and I did that, trying to demonstrate that even without soccer games, Mario is still more popular than God of War. You didn't even define what you mean by popularity. Is it how many people are talking about it, or how many people know it? Because more people know Mario than those who know God of War, and no one at this moment is really talking about either of them that much, seeing as they were both released too long ago to be a topic of discussion.

Now if you said most popular action-adventure game, then I'd agree with you. But you're talking about video games in general, which shocks me. Maybe the years around its release, your claim might have been true, but no longer.

PES/FIFA are the most popular game series in Nigeria, hands down. Whether you're talking about how many people have heard of it, or how many people are currently speaking of it. Whether it's because Nigerians are fanatical about it, I don't give two craps. It's the truth.

Emoji will not 'work' on you? I use them when I want to.

you're only looking at gamers and casual gamers but your forgetting about non - gamers that know a little bit on games. when you add all of these factors together,its going to be god of war because many people just know soccer games as just soccer games. they don't know the difference between PES and FIFA. Not to mention that every PES and FIFA game gets irrelevant after 9 months because of a new one.

First of all, I must ask. When you say popular, you simply mean 'having heard of', and not necessarily 'having played', because I'm sure it can't be the latter. Super Mario is more popular than God of War in that case. tongue

I'm sure I can ask the next 10 people I see on the street, whether they've heard of God of War. 5 males, 5 females. I can bet that maybe 4 of the guys would have heard of the game, and possibly one of the girls. But I could probably tell you that all 10 of them would have heard of Super Mario. tongue

I agree that years ago, it had a very special place in the hearts of my classmates, but that was like a decade ago. The average Nigerian really only gives a crap for PES or FIFA.

Phones / Re: Top 3 Features In Iphone X Which Some Android Users Wished They Had by HyDef(m): 8:37pm On Sep 14, 2017
Well, there are 2 things I like Apple for. They've got their own in-house processor and an OS which is optimized to perfection with it, and then pretty clean designs. The cameras are top notch too, but so many others are.

I do not like how they tend to crawl on catching up. That the phones only got fast charging is sort of appalling. It reminds me of Sony and their stubbornness in following trends as well. The mobile business is one where you keep up or get thrown out. Apple is in a position of superiority in that regard though.

However, this might be the first iPhone that I find acceptable compared to other flagships. I wouldn't buy it, but the deficiencies are a lot less than previous generations. I am a fan of Portrait mode, and how you can now mess around with the lighting. That's something I'd love to see other manufacturers do. Animoji is unique, but doesn't really make or break anything. Well, they've changed to OLED, but that's also not a deal breaker, as Sony still sticks religiously with its LCDs to good effect.

I find the competition in the Androidsphere to be healthy, and currently, I'm waiting to see what Huawei's Mate 10 will bring.

The problem with the GTR (as pointed out by those damning reviews nurey talked about) is that they haven't upgraded it in about a decade, so it now seems over hyped, living on past glory.

True. The newest model got a minor face-lift, mostly at the front and rear bumpers, and that was about it. Still instantly recognizable. I'm waiting for whenever they decide its time for the R36. angry

in reviews i read, statement of such were credited to it, they were comparing it with an Audi RS8 in that review, i will not call the nissan GTR a crappy car, a car with V6 3.7L engine able to do 0-62ms in 2.3secs, i respect it all the way

Definitely. The performance is incredible, particularly the acceleration. I remember when Jeremy Clarkson drove it on Top Gear. He absolutely loved it.

I dont think that is the issue, even the Nissan GTR Nismo with all its almighty performance and lesser than $100,000 is always referred to as a crappy attempt at sports car, i think (my opinion oooo) is because of its Japanese.

Those who can afford such cars want the hype and status symbol not really the performance

This is the first time I've heard anyone say the GT-R is a 'crappy attempt' at a sports car. It hits well above its price bracket for the performance it cranks out.

Phones / Re: Do Not Buy The Samsung Galaxy Note 8! by HyDef(m): 10:39pm On Aug 25, 2017
Fo' real?

They shouldn't buy the Note 8 because the previous model had a defect? A defect which had its cause discovered, to the point that the device was sold refurbished after replacing with a smaller battery? (Note 7 FE (Fan Edition))

Your logic can apply to absolutely any device. Maybe I should hold up before getting the Mate 10 because I don't know if it's gonna go up in fireworks? Any device can have a defect, Samsung made a mistake, that's what caused theirs. It's obvious you didn't hear about how they make their batteries go through some 8(?)-step safety testing now? That's why the S8 launched late. They were trying to stop a repeat.

So, I say, buy a freakin' Note 8 on launch day if that's your style.

Tell me if tecno brand is globally recognized
This phone should go head to head with Samsung s8 and iphone 7
I use tecno but guy, lets be honest with ourselves na

Very well said. It's a proper flagship. Don't forget there's always build quality, as the 8 comes with a heat pipe and a graphite shield for heat management. The guys at GSMArena said that even while running benchmarks, the phone controlled the heat like an absolute boss. Evenly spread, and barely warm.

And a polarized screen for great sunlight legibility.

And a guaranteed update to Android O.

I use a Gionee, but I won't ever compare any of their devices to a 2017 flagship. I'm eagerly waiting to see the Mate 10.
