Everson Recommends

Sony's middle-weight 2012 phone, the P is very good-looking, sporting a aluminium unibody design with a clear bar and it's very solidly built. This phone feels like a tank. It's very well featured, as well, with a nice back camera and front-facing cameras, NFC, quad-band radio. It just lacks LTE. It was launched with GB (android 2.3.7) but since got ICS. It's fast, smooth, snappy. Total delight.

Great way to test your color distinction abilities, with a variety of challenges.

Consistantly fun, well made game bundles. Pay what you want and part of the proceeds goes to charity. Pay over average (price of in-n-out lunch) and get two more games! I never rec. video games so you know it's probably pretty good.

My favorite book. So many other stories in all media draw inspiration from the setting alone.

Impeccable Krautrock, almost religious music. I'd call it the musical equivalent of prayer or meditation.

I use derivatives of his work on a daily basis (to provided that much needed randomness to otherwise flat and predictable digital graphics) so I guess I can say his work is vital.

No other instrumental song has a title that describes so perfectly what's within. It comes and goes, ebbing and flowing the sea, the waves. It's cold and it's haunting and it's deep and so intensely peaceful.

A beauty beyond belief.

Idioteque is, simply put, one of the best songs Radiohead ever made. That says a lot because these dudes made a lot of great songs, but this one - this whole album really - is special. It's a whole new level of awesome.

The ambience is terrifying, the beats crunchy, the vocals haunting, the energy is driving. It's fear, madness, sadness, despair and anger all rolled into one song. Powerful.

One of my faves (there are quite a few). Paul showcasing the full extent of his vocal technique in a very elaborate song.

Highly atmospheric indie folk, with mysterious lyrics, unsettling mood and heartfelt vocals by Nick Talbot.

Truly haunting.

Indie-pop with sticky lyrics, riveting beat and a really, really anthemic chorus. Pretty good stuff.

Monday morning. Sun on my skin. Aeroplane Mixtape in my ears. Great way to start the week.

You get an amazing post-punk classic by Joy Division, add some beautiful vocals, change the rhythm and instrumentation to bossa and you get this amazing song.

Really cool and chill song by Little Joy. Sounds and feels like vacations, sunny places, cool and colorful drinks.

It just seems silly, but I found it to be really entertaining and addictive. Cute design and sound effects. It's fun to make as many combos and to collect as many gifts and badges. I could play that over and over - throughout the day. Relaxing!

Fantastic british website that covers PC gaming, especially indie titles, with lots of humour and great writing. Insightful, resourceful and greatly entertaining.

It says right on the tin: it's a site dedicated to game FAQs, walkthroughs, tips and tricks, codes and cheats. It has an extensive database of games, all of them with dedicated forums for more in-depth help and discussion, if you ever need.

Pro level graphics tablet from industry leader Wacom. This is the real thing. If you're serious about digital art, design and photo PP, you need one of these. 2048 levels of pressure sensivity, tilt angle detection, lots of control surfaces, comes in 4 sizes, wired or wireless.

It has a steep learning curve, be aware - takes some time to get used to the feel, but once there, there are no regrets.

Great small and affordable graphics tablet for those who are getting their hands into digital illustration and/or design.

Wacom Tablets are widely used in the design industry and are known for their precision and reliability and these aren't any different. They accept inputs both from the pen (that's pressure sensitive) and multi-touch (that isn't THAT good, but can do in a pinch).

After 6 games on the NES, the Blue Bomber was ready to make his first appearance on the SNES.

Mega Man X took everything that made the originals great and took it to the next level - smooth as butter gameplay, beautifully drawn graphics, rocking soundtrack (seriously, this is the kind of stuff you'd listen to outside the game all day). Simply put, an awesome game.
