Man, I miss Guitar Hero. That crappy plastic guitar brought me so much joy over the years so when I saw Unplugged – Air Guitar was offering something similar in VR I was immediately down, and for the most part it met my pretty high expectations. https://youtu.be/g-O0kE4qX88 Unplugged – Air Guitar kicks off with Satchel from Steel Panther ragging on you a bit. Cheese like ripping on nerds and rocking out are pretty heavy in the intro and sets a certain tone. That tone, like Steel Panther’s music, is cheesy as hell, and fun if you are in the mood…

When I played the first Moss game I was entranced. For all intents and purposes it was a solid platformer that looked beautiful in a realized VR world. This wouldn’t be enough, except the narrative and Quill engaged you enough to add an emotional layer so damn unique to VR. Moss: Book II takes that formula, adds a few things, but sticks to what worked the first time. https://youtu.be/x8HvWj2sMeY If you are new to the series you can absolutely pick up Book II and run with it. I would highly recommend you start with the first game because it is…
Man, when we have a new Action RPG game that comes out of the woodwork, I am always curious. Will this be the start of a new overdone franchise? How will they cram in the inevitable live service stuff? I know, I am cynical. The good news is that while Forspoken has its flaws, in many ways, it ticks the boxes I want to see more games try. Yeah Nah, the story has it’s moments https://youtu.be/7-5Fa5meEo4 Forspoken begins on Earth with our heroine Frey as she deals with a court date. We get just enough time on Earth here to…
When it comes to webcams, the options are insane. The number of companies making them and the number of options from each can be confusing at best. Well EPOS wants to make this choice easier for those who are running meetings on the move with the new EPOS EXPAND Vision 1. Office meetings on the go https://youtu.be/ltLCT_9FI7s The on-the go aspect of this is pretty incredible. The whole unit is ever so slightly bigger than the smallest USB camera I have. With a clip that folds out, you can mount it onto any monitor, TV, or anything really, no matter…
Ring has become pretty synonymous with smart doorbells. Mostly it’s because they make some excellent devices that make receiving packages and guests much easier and record couriers doing naughty shenanigans for TikTok. There was also the fun scandal with Amazon handing over access to the police in the states, which I can’t see evidence of being an issue in NZ… yet. But either way, they are the market leader here. I got to take the Ring Video Doorbell 4 for a spin to see if you should smarten up your front door. Installation https://youtu.be/yXtOi88TlQs Setting up the Ring Video Doorbell…
As a casual board game fan, new games can be super intimidating. Is it going to be easy to pick up and run with like Unmatched? Or are you going to spend hours trying to understand a complex rulebook? The good news is Reload isn’t too hard to pick up, but that is not thanks to the rulebook. The story https://youtu.be/o0hGZEMjSC8 Reload is a battle royale set in the future. Basically a bunch of clones have been created and they need to fight each other to the death, repeatedly. Why? Well for fame of course. There are crowds watching the…
When I checked out the JBL Quantum TWS I quickly became a convert to the JBL earbuds. These versatile earbuds equipped with a USB-C dongle made me a happy man. I got the chance to check out a pair of dedicated earbuds to see how they stack up without the gimmick. The short answer to the question of are the Live Pro 2 TWS earbuds great, is yep. The long answer is as follows:. The sound https://youtu.be/TQAcs-pbLxk The biggest question is always, how is the sound quality? I mean if it wasn’t, you wouldn’t be looking for earbuds. Well I…
