Over the years, I have reviewed many JBL speakers, and they continuously impress me. The opportunity to try out the 4th version of the tiny Go speaker had me intrigued, especially with a new feature to pair them together in Auracast. So what does the JBL Go 4 offer? https://youtu.be/Lp9GsbSQy8E The biggest thing that the JBL Go 4 offers is that it is tiny. Like, seriously, bloody tiny. The small little box is super light and can fit on the end of your table; slip it into your bag or pocket, and you will hardly notice it. OK, you might…

One thing I discovered with my Magic The Gathering journey is that while the game is fun, the events are where they are at. Going down to my LGS, and playing against people, that’s where the real fun of the game is. Since Flesh and Blood’s name is based on the idea of playing games in person, it only made sense that early in my journey I try out an event in person. So I headed down to Bea DnD to try out a Blitz Armory Event in person! What’s a Blitz and what’s an Armory? Blitz is a casual…

If you have been following my journey into Magic: The Gathering, you will know I have fallen in love with this TCG. It has been a journey to get up to scratch, as it’s a game with 30 years of history. Dabbling with Flesh and Blood has been fun as it has less history. But even that TCG is now heaps of sets deep, meaning there are heaps of mechanics to learn. If only there was a new TCG that was a bit easier and earlier in its life. Well, Star Wars Unlimited is brand spanking new, so I wanted…

A quirky indie roguelite – there aren’t any of those around, amirite? Well, let me tell you, after far too many hours with Dicefolk, you haven’t played one quite like this. In the best possible ways, of course. Who are the Dicefolk? https://youtu.be/MESs52960sQ The story of Dicefolk is pretty light, to be honest. Basically, you play as a character called Alea, who can control chimeras. She needs to use them to fight other chimera and beat an evil sorcerer or something. The story is light, and so after a few hours, I kind of forgot the bulk of it. But…

I have been using EPOS IMPACT headsets for work for a while and love them. The comfort and quality are beyond outstanding and I love them. What though if you don’t have over $500 to drop on a wireless headset? Well, EPOS has brought a wired version of the IMPACT 760T to a much more affordable range, around $250. The sound The major reason you will want to upgrade your work headset is the sound, right? Well, the EPOS IMPACT 760T has you covered here. The sound quality is exceptional; regularly throughout meetings, I would stop and try to break…

On this website, I have been journaling my discovery, entry into, and now love for Magic: The Gathering. It took a while to get into, but with every set, I became more and more obsessed with it. So naturally, with a Kiwi company making their own TCG, I wanted to know more. The problem, as always, is: where do you start? Well, after dabbling with the Free Ira decks you can pick up, the next place to dabble was the Round the Table box. But is it worth it and a good place to start? So what is Flesh and…

As I have journeyed with Magic the Gathering, one little problem has occurred. I have shitloads of cards. How do you store and sort them all? What about the decks you have ready to play? How do you keep them in a way that’s easy to use and pull out as needed? Well, I picked some up to try them out, and since then, I have been using them more and more. So what are Burger Tokens Perfect Fit Deckboxes? The deckboxes themselves are made from 12mm plastic, so they are thin and flexible. This is OK, as I don’t…

So it’s now an easy comment to say I have become obsessed with Magic: The Gathering. My journey has taken me from never having touched the game at all to loving every quirky and difficult element of MTG. Now my excitement for prerelease events is next level, and while I may have been a touch cynical about the Outlaws of Thunder Junction theme, this may be one of my favourite sets to play yet. But she’s got a new hat! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LBCNBzy99Y This one isn’t as bad for newbies as Murders at Karlov Manor was, and the reason is that it’s…

There is no shortage of keyboards out there, and if you include the word gaming, you get heaps of keyboards flashing colours in your eyeballs. The mini portable keyboards cut that down a little, though not the price tag. Logitech G is trying to put their stake in the ground with their latest release, the Logitech Pro X 60 LIGHTSPEED. So I checked it out to see if it’s worth the $429 price tag. It has a case The first thing you will notice when you open the box for the Logitech Pro X 60 LIGHTSPEED is that it comes…

Gaming with a headset is a truly magical experience. The enhanced sound and drowning out sounds around you really make a difference, but what if you don’t want to drop $500+ on a top-of-the line headset for your console? Well, JBL wants to make that easier with the $150 JBL Quantum 360 P and JBL Quantum 360 X headsets. And to be honest, for the price point, there is a lot of headset packed in here. So why is there an X version and a P version? The short answer is that Microsoft and Sony are annoying. The X version…
