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.

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…

Final Fantasy has been my favorite game series since I got Final Fantasy 8 Platinum on PS1 many, many years ago. The four discs of goodness consumed hundreds of hours of my time before I went back and played 7, followed by playing every game since. I LOVE this game series. So you pair this with my latest obsession for the last year and a half, Magic: The Gathering, and surely you have a set that I will be obsessed with, right? Well not necessarily, it still has to be awesome as if it sucks, I will be mad as…

I live in earbuds, using them to and from work, when I do chores around the house, everything. I mean, how else can you do the dishes without a podcast? I don’t even know! I regularly use JBL earbuds as I love them, but the high-end ones are pricey. So I got the chance to take the much cheaper JBL Wave Beam 2 for a spin to see if they are worth it for people that are looking for jams on the go at a lower price. What do they do well? Looking at style, there is nothing cheap looking…

Sometimes remastered games can be the hardest games to review. When a game was being upscaled from PS1 to PS3, it was a lot easier as that period of time saw massive advancement in games both graphically and gameplay wise. But when you take a game from the late PS4 life and remaster it for PS5, the changes aren’t quite as stark. Still, I gave it a go with the newest PS5 remaster, Days Gone Remastered, jamming it on a PS5 Pro. https://youtu.be/RjRLSZalxgs If you haven’t played Days Gone before, it tells the story of the ex-bikie Deacon in Oregon…

I have been loving Lorcana since it came Down Under to Aotearoa and Australia. The simplified gameplay has been getting more complex, but for the last couple of sets there wasn’t a lot of innovation. Don’t get me wrong, they were loaded with fun characters, art, and cards, but I wanted to see something new. Well, Archazia’s Island has brought heaps of new things. What is Jafar doing Reigning? Our heroes have been doing their thing on Archazia’s Island, which is all well and good, except Jafar has taken our distraction to get up to some shenanigans. He has managed…

There are heaps of Bluetooth speakers available these days, from tiny little speakers that fit in your pocket to big beasts designed for massive meeting rooms. So how do you choose which one to get? Well, the biggest question is, what do you need it for? Well, if you want to be able to enjoy some sounds on the go, from a barbeque to the beach to camping, the JBL Flip 7 is making a solid argument that it should be on the top of your list. It’s bouncy! https://youtu.be/byyCZd0EWnI OK, well, not bouncy as such, but it’s drop-proof for…
