Meet The GynePunks Pushing The Boundaries Of DIY Gynecology
A collective of radical bio-hackers and TransHackFeminists are out to reclaim gynecological medicine. Under the name GynePunks, they’re assembling an arsenal of open-source tools for DIY diagnosis and first-aid care — centrifuges made from old hard drive motors; microscopes from deconstructed webcams; homemade incubators; and 3D printable speculums.

Pac-Man 256
Pac-Man 256 is a reimagining of the classic Pac-Man game and created by the same people who bought you Crossy Road. You play the game mostly the same way, moving around the grid by swiping on the screen, trying to eat as many dots as possible, collect items and avoid the ghosts. In this game, as you play, the bottom of the grid keeps collapsing so you have to keep moving upwards and as you play you move faster. There are also powers to collect, which give you additional abilities. It’s a lot of fun and although some elements are lifted straight from Crossy Road, including some sound samples, it’s still pretty cool game overall.
Price: Free
Download: iOS Android
Horizon Chase
Horizon Chase is a pretty cool arcade style racing game. The game has minimal mechanics and harkens back to the olden days of 2D arcade racing. Despite that it’s still quite fun and almost as difficult as games used to be back then.
Price: $2.99

Final Fantasy VII
The original Final Fantasy VII is now finally on iOS and should probably be coming to Android soon. FF7 is one of the most popular games in the series and also one of the most popular RPG games of all time. This isn’t exactly a remaster and is a straight port of the PC version, with some changes for iOS such as virtual controller, option to disable enemy encounters on the world and area maps and a Max Stats command. This is mostly recommended for fans of the series who know what they are getting into.

Tales from the Borderlands Episode 4: Escape Plan Bravo
Telltale Games has released the fourth episode in the five part series Tales from the Borderlands. If you haven’t played these before, the series is based in the same universe as the Borderlands games but features a completely different point and click adventure style gameplay common to Telltale Games with new characters and an episodic format. The final episode will be coming out later this year but if you’ve played till episode there there is no reason to stop now. Conversely, you could wait till all the episodes are out and perhaps pick them for a discount.

Tonight is the series premiere of Fear the Walking Dead, AMC’s spin-off of their shambling ratings monster, The Walking Dead. To call it a “spin-off” is a bit of a misnomer, however. There are no cast members from the original show starring in Fear the Walking Dead, nor are they likely to even appear on the show, considering it’s set in a different timeline and is all the way across the country in an apocalyptic age when air travel is a no-go.

El LG G Watch R es uno de los relojes inteligentes más bien valorados que podemos encontrar actualmente en el mercado. Tampoco es que tengamos un gran catálogo, pero el objetivo de los coreanos era claramente competir con el Motorola Moto 360 y con ese objetivo llegó uno de los pocos dispositivos con esfera circular.
Un corte clásico y una potencia correcta, una combinación que ya podría valer para muchos. Pero lo que realmente centró los focos de interés fue el anuncio de que a lo largo del tercer trimestre el dispositivo recibiría una actualización que activaría el Wi-Fi que trae incorporado.
Esta característica, que llega gracias a la actualización de abril de Android Wear, permite a los relojes inteligentes mantener casi la totalidad de sus funcionalidades sin requerir tener el teléfono emparejado constantemente mediante Bluetooth. Así pues, seguiremos recibiendo todas las notificaciones siempre que tengamos una conexión Wi-Fi cerca, algo que sin duda será muy útil para muchos usuarios.
Pero esta novedad no se queda estancada únicamente en los LG G Watch R. La actualización, como ya viene siendo habitual, llega en forma de OTA y también añadirá dicha conexión Wi-Fi a los más recientes LG G Watch Urbane.
Además del Wi-Fi, otras cosas que también llegan con la actualización son un soporte adicional de caretas que podremos descargar directamente desde Google Play, la posibilidad de usar determinadas áreas de la pantalla para mostrar información adicional y un conjunto de funcionalidades nuevas que incluyen la traducción en múltiples idiomas y la predicción meteorológica de los siguientes cuatro días.
Probablemente esta primera generación de Smartwatches no ha tenido la repercusión que los fabricantes hubieran querido, pese a que precisamente LG ha hecho campañas muy agresivas en las que ha regalado miles de dispositivos con la compra de algunos de sus teléfonos de gama alta.
Pese a ello, esta primera oleada ha servido para recabar información sobre lo que los usuarios buscan y sobre las limitaciones de la industria actual, por lo que estamos seguros que en un futuro podremos ver dispositivos mucho más interesantes y que tendrán una mejor aceptación por parte del público.
¿Y tú que piensas? Pásate por Los LG G Watch R ya tienen finalmente Wi-Fi gracias a la última actualización para dejar tu huella.

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain comes out in a little less than two weeks. It was always going to be one of the biggest games of the year, but the recent drama surrounding Konami and Hideo Kojima, and the fact that this will be the last Kojima-led game in the series, means that expectations are higher than ever.
