Ubisoft is launching a new Family Feud game in just a few days on November 12, 2020 for Google Stadia and as excited as I want to be about it, I’m not. My family loves Steve Harvey and the long running game show, but the only thing more odd than the game not even featuring […]

Coatsink Software, publisher of Get Packed, just released their second game on Stadia this morning. Cake Bash, developed by MoonShine Games is a Super Mario Party style game that’s just what the platform needed.

Yes, I realize that I’m writing this in 2020, but that doesn’t stop Angry Birds 2 from being an incredible game that has aged really well. Seriously! This game is almost five years old and I would argue that it’s just as fun today as it was when I first played it. I was browsing […]

Chrome OS has rolled out another incremental update. While we suspected that it was just a fix for the Lenovo C340-11’s Wi-Fi issues, it appears that there is a lot more under the hood than we expected. The announcement was made via the official Chromebook Support Forum. Normally, update announcements are reserved for milestone versions. […]

The Chrome Cast is back at it this week, and our discussion is dominated by Google’s upcoming ‘Atlas’ Chromebook that we feel sure will either be the Pixelbook 2 or at least in the Pixelbook family of devices. So many things about ‘Atlas’ are confusing and could point to various end games for Google, but […]

I don’t know about you, but I really enjoy the name Hatch Family. There’s just a nice ring to it. Last year’s unibuild family name ‘Nami’ never really caught on as we were all a bit too focused on ‘Nocturne’ becoming what we now know as the Pixel Slate. Though Gabriel always had a hunch […]

Looking at forum posts, the reception has been a bit of a mix for the Supervised Users replacement but regardless, Google is trying to make it an all-in-one management console for parents who want to manage screen time […]

Nearly a year ago, Google sunsetted the Supervised Users program for Chrome OS. This brought and end to an era of convoluted and insanely frustrating account management for parents wanting to help their kids maintain healthy online habits. Moving away from the Supervised User platform was a much-needed shift as the system was fractured at […]

We see things like this a lot, right? A nice little hardware hook to sell you on a service or bit of software. We even see hardware bundles from time to time that throw in little perks here and there to get you to bite. This latest effort from Spotify is not really any different, […]

My kids love our Google Home devices. My daughter knows how to envoke the smart-assistant and fire up her favorites songs so that she and her brother can dance around the living room without a care in the world. Other days, we like to ask Google what sounds different animals make or set a timer […]
