Lorcana has been going for two years now, or in the case of ANZ, over one year. This has included eight sets of awesome cards and even more awesome art. But now there is a new set in town with a whole lot of reprints and the first case of rotation for this card game. So what does that mean for playing the game, and what is the new set, Fabled, like? What is a rotation? If Lorcana is your first TCG, or the first you have played constructed in, then this may be a new concept to you. In…

Super Robot Wars is a series that has been around for a while. Despite that, I have never even touched one, but an anime crossover tactical RPG sounds so me. So with the latest release, Super Robot Wars Y, I wanted to give it a try! https://youtu.be/QgYi233lr74 The first thing I will touch on is the story, as there is a lot. It starts off with Lelouch from Code Geass getting killed. All hell breaks loose, and the character you chose goes into battle. Quickly they are helped by a Gunam mech, and boom, the tone for the game is…
When you think of shows like Blackadder, you can’t help but be blown away by the brilliant and clever wit and writing. They are ageless in their humour and I can watch Blackadder over and over again. Well, there was another fun little sitcom that started in 2016 from Ben Elton’s brain called Upstart Crow that you need to add to your collection. https://youtu.be/d6Q4Fau3hoY Upstart Crow follows the life of a little-known writer, William Shakespeare. Well, not his life. He’s already a successful playwright, and he is still trying to become famous. It kicks off with Shakespeare’s daughter reading off…
Spy × Family is a fantastic show that I’ve turned around on. I hadn’t totally fallen in love with it until I checked out the movie Spy × Family Code: White. I took my boy to it and loved it. So I tried the show again and yup, now I am a fan. So now this excellent movie is available on Blu-ray, so it was time to check it out again. https://youtu.be/z_j2-Exs8gA If Spy × Family is new to you, it follows a strange family. Loid is a spy who is on a case, but this case requires having a…
As soon as I saw the trailer for Echoes of the End, I was intrigued. It screamed a mid-quality title that was either going to be a janky slog or half-decent. Well, I was not prepared for what the debut title from the Icelandic developer Myrkur Games was going to offer. And for a nice change, not being prepared is for the better. https://youtu.be/HfJ9ub9PdfA Echoes of the End is a 3rd-person action game in a mysterious fantasy world. Here the world has been ravaged by wars, but one nation has hidden away in the mountains behind a ward. The ward…
The Substance might be one of the weirdest movies I have seen in a long time, not for the whole duration but for much of the end. After seeing the end, I had to check out this beauty in 4K for the full treatment, and it was worth it! The first thing I will say is that if you are intrigued by this movie, buy it! I intentionally went in as blind as possible after watching half a trailer, and it was well worth experiencing the whole thing as it unfolds. So the best way to enjoy this movie for…
Going into Flow I had no idea what to expect. I knew it was animated and it won awards, but I figured it was going to be one to watch blind with the kids, and it was well worth it. https://youtu.be/82WW9dVbglI Flow is a beautifully designed movie. It tells the story of a cat during a great flood. It initially deals with some gods chasing it, but as the flood goes up, the cat winds up making its way to higher and higher ground, from the top of its house to the top of statues to some ancient ruins. But…
There are so many awesome ways to light up your house in smart ways, but nothing looks cooler than a TV with the changing lights behind it. The problem is it isn’t the cheapest thing to buy and can seem daunting to set up. Well, WiZ has come to give you a simple cost-effective solution that is shockingly good. The setup https://youtu.be/8_RT2VhXPpY This is seriously simple to set up. In the box you have the light strip, which you can use the 3M sticky back to attach to the back of your TV. Since the lightstrip is designed for multiple…
After the glory that was the Final Fantasy set, I was itching for an in-universe set for Magic. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy the Final Fantasy set; I absolutely loved it, but the places Magic can go with its story are so much fun. Well, fortunately, the latest set, Edge of Eternities, takes us to a magic place in space, and I am all in. What even is there at the Edge of Eternities? https://youtu.be/zFayjWhFOI0 Heaps. This story was one to enjoy. It’s a brand-new story packed with heaps of new characters. It’s based around a star that…
When I was checking out the JBL Wave Beam 2 earbuds, I was pretty impressed with the buds given the price point. Now that I have been playing with the Tune Beam 2, I have been trying to work out how best to write this without repeating myself. So instead of doing that, I will cover what makes these buds better to justify twice the price. What do the buds do well? https://youtu.be/Fj7mhBVRMjk Like the Wave model, these are excellent-looking earbuds. They have a classic bud style that looks simple but beautiful. The case is also one where the stem…
