The Pros
Wow Factor
ICADE iwona fide eyeball magnet. Pane imwe nguva yapfuura mumba mangu, ndakasarudza kusiya iCADE pakona yeimba yangu yemhuri uye kwete kutaura chero chinhu. Hazvina maturo kutaura, vakoma vangu vaduku vakatanga kutenderera vachipoteredza. Kunyange hama dzakwegura dzakataridzirwa nekumwemwerera shure kwekuzviona ndokundibvunza, "Hei, chii ichocho?" Uye kana iwe uri mufesi wekare-chikoro mabhakiti makabati, mini mini iCADE's design ichasvika pane yako geeky heartstrings.

Chaizvoizvo, vainzwa zvakanaka kwazvo kuti ndinoshuva kuti chigadzirwa chacho chaifambidzana neFanest Fighter uye zvimwe zvekurwa mitambo . ("Inofambisa Street Fighter?" Nenzira, ndiyo yakatanga kugadzirisa kubva kumadzimai anondida mavhidhiyo pavakatanga kuona iCADE, pamwe chete) Ngatizviise nenzira iyi. Kana iCADE ikambosangana nekurwisana nemitambo yega yega mune ramangwana, ipapo ndaizotora imwe hafu nyota yekudzokorora kwangu.
Zviri nyore Kuungana
Iwe hauna chikoro kubva kuMassachusetts Institute of Technology kuti uise pamwe iCADE. Ichokwadi kuti kuenzanisa zvikamu zvepakati zvinogona kunetsa kana maonero ako emigodhi yekuchera achivharwa. Asi kuunganidza iCADE yakanga yakanaka chaizvo.

The Cons
Kudzora kwakasimba
Mufaro uye mabhatani anoteerera zvakanaka uye haanzwi sechinhu chiduku. Chaizvoizvo, vainzwa zvakanaka kwazvo kuti ndinoshuva kuti chigadzirwa chacho chaifambidzana neFanest Fighter uye zvimwe zvekurwa mitambo. ("Inofambisa Street Fighter?"

Closing Thoughts
ICADE yakanyanya kuoma kubvunzurudza nokuti zviri pachena ichagamuchirwa zvakasiyana zvakasiyana nemarudzi akasiyana evanhu. VaGamers vanoona nguva yegolide yeAtari mashomanana emitambo nekunakidzwa zvikuru ichada chinhu ichi chetro. Vazhinji vanotamba mitambo, kunyange zvakadaro, vangangozviona sechinhu chinoshamisa chekupedzisira chinopera.
Chinhu chimwe ndechechokwadi, iCADE ndicho chinhu chakanakisisa kuwona fide geek test. Ratidza izvi izvi kune mumwe munhu uye iwe unogona kuona kuti geeky dzinobva pane zvavanoita.
