A Tech Affair episode 214: Google Pixel event, Disney roadmap, "Alien: Romulus", "SteamWorld Heist 2"
Google provides convincing arguments for hardware upgrades with a mountain of new Pixel devices. Disney presents the future for Star Wars, Marvel and co. "Alien: Romulus" teaches us to fear and "SteamWorld Heist 2" shows how to efficiently fight diesel robots.
Earlier than usual, Google unveiled new hardware at the Pixel event. Even though most of it has already been leaked, we are cautiously optimistic about the new devices. The company seems to have made improvements in all the right places, from the foldable phone and headphones to the smart watches. Disney, for its part, showed new trailers at the annual D23 fan expo and announced upcoming projects from the Disney, Marvel and Star Wars universes. We are particularly excited about "Skeleton Crew" and "Tron: Ares" - not least because of a certain band producing the soundtrack.
We watched "Alien: Romulus". The latest film about the eerie xenomorphs is a homage to the first part. It doesn't quite match the genius of the classic, but it's definitely worth seeing.
On the other hand, "SteamWorld Heist 2" is worth playing. The seventh instalment in the steam robot universe focuses on turn-based tactical battles and submarine action.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
