January 7, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Laser Gadgets seems to be a little known site and YouTube channel. This might be because you get a no nonsense, no razzle dazzle, presentation of the final product. Patrick Priebe, however, is one of the best builders I follow online.…

10 ideas for new Ingress items

December 31, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood 4 Comments

Ingress is the augmented reality game from Niantic that came before Pokemon. It’s less random, has only two factions and a great community. One of the clever things Niantic got right was to introduce sponsored items rather than adverts to the game play.…
