Jackbox Games



Jackbox Games are AWESOME. You can play it on PS4, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Apple TV and iPad, Amazon fire, Mac App Store, Android TV, NVIDIA SHIELD TV and of course PC(Steam/Mac) and various other devices that allow you to download an app or game. Best of all you can use your own mobile device, tablet or even PC to play the games. No other accessories are needed.

Jackbox games creates trivia based games. Games in where knowledge is not the only way you can win. Messing with your opponent face to face is funny as hell.

Jackbox most popular game by far is Fibbage. It is a trivia based games in where you can bluff out your appointment with ridiculous or cleaver answers. Best of all up to 8 people can play. Take a look at the videos below.


I bought this game on a whim that me and my family could play at least one freaking Xbox game together. Since I am the only gamer in the family it was a task that was not easy. Even my mother enjoyed watching us play (She opted to watch us and blurt out answers) but I digress. The fact that she participated without a device was even more surprising. She enjoyed just to watch us and blurt out an answer that may or my not be correct.

On the Jackbox's website https://jackboxgames.com/project/jbpp3/ it says its $24.99 across many different ways to play.

Here is the murder mystery game. This game goes great with some wine.  Having a couple of glasses of wine and having a Trivia Murder Party is a great way to have a Murder Mystery Party.



Some helpful Tips.
  1. Turn on Family Mode if games allow it if  you have children that want to participate.
  2. Make sure your devices are charged.
  3. Temporarily Turn Screen lock off  or set duration longer. if you don't want to keep re entering your password. 
  4. If you lose your screen on your webpage on your device. Just go press back or go to the jackbox.tv website where you login your username and refresh. The code should be there. Don't try to refresh the page. 
  5. Kids can play if family filter is on. 
  6. Have a good internet connection when playing with 3 or more people.
Note: I tried to play this game with my friend who was at their own home and I was at my home on the Xbox.  Yes you can play when other people is not around and play with your  friends through their mobile device but it is not as fun for the other person. They just sit there staring at a screen. Maybe in future updates it will be more enjoyable for people who are not with the person hosting the game.  Below are some screenshots.

Googlefying Your New iPhone X

Googlefying my iPhone X Let me start of by saying this is the first iPhone I have ever owned. I have been a long term Android user and hold no bias (Not Anymore) towards Apple's iPhones. Furthermore, the Apple vs Android debate no longer interest me.  This is going to be a mini series on how to turn your new Iphone into a "Googleish" powerhouse. Keyboard When I had the opportunity to buy the Iphone x I only bought it with the hopes that I could use this phone and retain my google ecosystem that I am accustomed to when using Android. One of the things that was a must have for me was the use of third party keyboards. My all time favorite was  Swiftkey . I did not want to retrain my typing abilities to use Apple's standard mobile keyboard. Yes you can use third party keyboards with Apple. Which was not always the case.  Third party keyboards such as Swiftkey was a must have if I were to venture into apples “walled garden”. I still needed a key to Android’s way of ...

Wireless Charging Googlefying your iPhone X

If you owned an Android device and was only an Android user, chances are you picked up a wireless charging charger before you owned an iPhone X.  Google Android implemented Wireless charging in Android Devices way before Apple. The Nexus 5 had wireless charging. A good 3 years before Apple. One of the first phones I had was Samsung Galaxy 6 which supported wireless charging. So by the time apple adopted Qi wireless charging I had already bought 3 of them. Let me say that you are covered using your 4 year old  wireless Qi  charger with the iPhone X. However it does need to be a Qi device. I bought two QI wireless devices before apple was even able to do Wireless charging. Let me change that .."Allow" wireless charging. And yes they both work with the X.  Even your 4 year old wireless device charger that is QI compatible is able to charge the X. It is relatively cheap to get an Wireless Charger. You can pick one up on Amazon.com for under $15. For a fancier on...
