Whole Lotta Lore
Custom PC
|February 2017
Video games are obsessed with lore, but lots of world building doesn’t equal great storytelling, argues Rick Lane.
When I reviewed Gears of War 4 last month, I looked up the game’s online Wiki to do a spot of fact checking about the story’s central faction. I figured it would be straightforward, since Gears of War 4’s story is about as complicated as an episode of Timmy Time. I was wrong. It took me half an hour to find what I was seeking, because the Wiki entry for the COG (Coalition of Ordered Governments) is12,000 words long.Twelve thousand words! That’s longer than my under graduate dissertation. And that’s just for the COG. There’s probably enough information on Marcus Fenix to fill a trilogy of novels.

Netgear Orbi Whole Home Wi-Fi System
Most high-end routers take a brute-force approach to improving Wi-Fi speed and range, adding more antennae, more frequency bands and the latest Wi-Fi standards. That approach works up to a point, but eventually even powerful routers run out or range. Of course, you can buy Wi-Fi extenders, extra Ethernet cable and access points, or use powerline networking, but Netgear has taken a novel approach with the Orbi that pretty much solves the problem.
