I just came across this amazing TV series adapted from William Brinkley’s best-selling novel, The Last Ship. The season premiere actually aired back in 2014 and I was quite disappointed having only watched it in reruns, but it was rewarding nonetheless and it got enough fan support and audience share for the studio to make a second season.

Today, however, it’s not just about hunting food or fending off predators, but a lot of complicated things thrown into the mix of feeling secured. Besides thinking about our well-being we also think about our properties and how to keep them safe from thieves and burglars, our money from getting robbed and all other material possessions. So we made our homes hard to invade and even keep one or more firearms to fend off intruders, while in outdoors we lock our cars, bikes and other modes of transportation and keep our money in bank vaults with several security guards and a cutting-edge security system just to keep it safe.
But whatever your material possession is it will always require a lock and a key and these days that could be an inconvenience, so the guys at FUZ Designs created NOKE – a tough metal padlock that was built to respond to digital signals in order to lock and unlock itself. It requires no key you see, that’s why they gave it the name “NOKE.”
NOKE only recognizes Bluetooth signals, so it’s almost impossible to hack it, plus FUZ Designs added extra security measures in it in order to make it impregnable. You’ll need to use your smartphone in order lock or unlock the device; however, you don’t need an app or adjust the settings on your phone to do this, because it responds to the proximity of your phone, so all you have to do is bring the phone closer to it. If you have an Android phone that supports Bluetooth 4.0, then you can use the NOKE padlock as it is specifically compatible with it. FUZ Designs had intended to designed this device for multipurpose basis which will make it usable in almost anything and gives the user flexibility.
NOKE was made to look attractive on the outside but on the inside it is made of a very tough allow of hardened steel and boron which can withstand temp
eratures of up to 2,348 Kelvin, you can be sure that your padlock will last through anything. This unique padlock is actually weatherproof and the hardened shell casing is very advantageous for its Lituim-Ion battery also. The NOKE keyless padlock is perfect for outdoors and using your smartphone’s Bluetooth 4.0 technology and lock or unlock it from 10 feet away (its minimum operational range). You can also share access to your NOKE with your friends by simply including them in your NOKE app, then they can use their smartphones to unlock it as well. Also, a special bike cable that cost $20 which stands as a shell for easy locking bicycles. It costs $59 for preorders and its retailing price will costs $89.
Your personal safety is of paramount importance, second comes your property and possessions and the rest is just pawn and loan stuff on a daily basis, but at least you got the NOKE keyless padlock for the little things that you cherish. Technology when used properly can be very advantageous for us all.

Have you been hooked with watching horror movies lately or just anything gory? Well how about horror genre’ games? Sure watching horror movies is entertaining if you’re into those types of movies but wouldn’t it be much thrilling if you play it too? Don’t you think it’s more fun? I mean just watching and waiting for how it’s going to end, that’s too boring. It’s so much more exciting to play a game with a storyline too then it’s up to you on how long you can survive and win the game on how you’ll see the ending. Sure it’s a lot harder and longer but it sure as hell more entertaining.
The Evil Within also known as Psycho Break in Japan is a video game developed by Tango Gameworks and is released by Bathesda Softworks for the PlayStations 3 and 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One video game consoles and Microsoft Windows. It has a mix of supernatural, murder, and just downright gory. It definitely isn’t for little kids to play as they might actually have nightmares about this so don’t go playing this at your living room where they can see it right away but then again if there is none, play wherever you want. The game is really detailed from chopped of arms, to exploding intestines and other more. That’s just how gory it is.
This game is played from a third-person perspective and the main protagonist of this game is Sebastian “Seb” Castellanos who is a veteran police detective along with his comrades Juli “Kid” Kidman and Joseph Oda in trying to defeat the invincible apparition Ruvik.
Now the plot of the games with in the fictional place called Krimson City where the trio was presently investigating a gruesome mass murder at Beacon Mental Hospital when they suddenly encountered a malevolent and powerful force. He saw how his comrades were slaughtered before his eyes by a man wearing a white hood and that he was covered in burn scars when he was suddenly ambushed and knocked unconscious. When he woke up, Krimson City wasn’t just the same with it having undergone massive earthquakes, unreal shifts in terrain and these hideous creatures called Haunted wandering the landscape.
Now this game is all about survival and as you, the player would have to go scavenging hunting for supplies and learn how to fight and run when needed to. It’s really up to your decision as the player on what Sebastian would be doing and how Sebastian would suddenly be in a new location or even finding new paths. Sebastian would also have to use medical items to restore health; though not all them are useful s some may cause temporary hallucinogenic effects. You may also see that when you collect the vials of green fluid throughout the game, it can help Sebastian upgrade his abilities.
We can’t forget about the weapons. Don’t worry there is a lot of option to come up with
like a revolver, sniper rifles, knives, grenades, shotgun and the most awesome one, the Agony Crossbow where when it is fired, the bolts would ether freeze, blind, electrocute or even make the enemies explode. Here is also one thing you need to more about the game, the enemies that you have defeated or incapacitated are capable of reviving. The only way for them to stay dead is by setting them on fire using limited supply of matches.
It can really be an addictive game that would make you stay up all night just so you could finish it.
