TV or Projector?
We’re over a year after the world stopped, if you’re like us at the DMGT you may be getting a bit sick of sitting on your OK-for-non-pandemic-times-but-now-not-good couch night after night, watching your decent-ish TV, working through all sorts of shows and movies but missing that “event” feeling of watching things on the big screen. We at the DMGT deeply feel you on this, and wanted to put together a year 2 list of ways to bring the big screen home.
Bringing the Movie Theater Home
The MES of your dreams, or close to your dreams is something that could be within your grasp to give you that moving going experience without the risk of the movie theater. The only people talking during the movie in YOUR MES, is yourself, your family, and friends, and those are all great people to yell at about asking what’s going on in Michael Mann’s Miami Vice (absolutely underrated banger of a movie that legit explains NOTHING EVER).
$GME, Reddit, and Wall St.
Technology & the internet have discovered flaws and potentially have changed the stock market…if the game doesn’t get rigged any further.
Lesson’s from the Cyberpunk 2077 Launch
Cyberpunk 2077 was possibly the most hyped game ever just a few months ago, but a disastrous bug riddled launch has all but ended the luster it promised. While gamers on newer hardware are experiencing an acceptable title, many are having the opposite experience. What lessons can this launch bring gamers and developers alike?
Don’t Count Out the Xbox
After an extremely long summer game of chicken between Microsoft and Sony, just less than 2 months away from launch, we finally get details on said launch for 2020’s next gen consoles. Not only that, but NVIDIA decided to get in on the action in the form of new GPUs, albeit more on the heavy enthusiast side, but makes things interesting nonetheless. However, outside of the internet clash of console warring from fans, here at The DMGT, we don’t think it’s a matter of which is “winning” or “better”, but who’s buying and the market competition that is ultimately best for consumers.
Festival Acts That Would Have Slapped in 2020
Let’s get something out of the way...everything is terrible all the time now, and we’re bored in the house. Before the end times, one of the most exciting parts of the summer season was the announcement of that year’s collection of music festivals. You’d wake up, log in to your mid level tech job, and realize the muted #music channel of your company's slack or slack equivalent seems all sorts of poppin’ off.
Back to School Tech: 2020 Budget Edition
While Summer technically runs through most of September, you probably consider the true end of Summer when class is back in session. At least, that’s how I used to treat it, and typically Labor Day weekend was the last hurrah. These days are different, however, and most of you now start classes in August (I had no idea that’s when most colleges started back when I was kicking it on Chicago’s South Side). Yet, as bittersweet as Summer’s end is, there’s still some excitement to a new academic year. Maybe it’s time for a new backpack, maybe you want to show off the shiny new iPhone, or more challenging courses mean you need new computer hardware. Let’s do that on a budget.
