I have been using an OG Fitbit Sense for 3 years and have been consistently stoked with it. The watch just seemed to keep going with no issues until I took it off at some point with it low on battery, and I cannot for the life of me find it. So it seemed like as good a time as any to try out a new Fitbit, so with the Fitbit Charge 6 releasing recently, it was time to see if it would charge me. As an accessory Having used Sense for a long time, I was very used to…

Kindle has proven time and time again that it is the leader in e-readers. The ability for it to be a tablet that is easy to read as if it were actual paper, as opposed to a shiny tablet screen, has been borrowed by so many others. And now, with the proliferation of devices that you can write on to take notes, Amazon has stepped up their Kindle series with the Kindle Scribe to be a device for reading and writing. The question is, should you get one? It’s a bigger kindle https://youtu.be/QSl721wVaqI Even if you just want to use…

I have been falling more and more in love with Magic: The Gathering. After getting my head around playing, pack types, and events, it’s the perfect time for a new spanner in the works. The newest set, Murders at Karlov Manor, has a new booster type, the Play Booster. So, are Play Boosters for Murders at Karlov Manor worth your time and money?

A big shift in Magic The Gathering has been that this year the Standard format is going to be more prominent. With that in mind, I figured what better way to try out Standard than go down and compete with people at the best LGS around, Bea DnD. What the hell is Standard? Standard is a constructed format where you can use cards from certain sets. Previously, it had been up to 2 years worth of sets, but at the moment it is up to 3 years. You build your deck, come along and compete. Your deck must be 60…

The Suicide Squad is one of the most iconic DC teams. This anti-hero group has been some of my personal favourite reads, and with a movie that was… well, disappointing, I was pretty amped for the game. I mean, with the creative minds of Rocksteady Studios that brought us the iconic Arkham games, what could go wrong? Well, some stuff The story https://youtu.be/3QHZxzTPsco The biggest thing was always going to be the story. A bland and uninteresting one could make killing the Justice League a bland affair. Fortunately, this is the one thing that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League…

I’m old enough to remember buying external HDDs that had the big Boi HDD inside a massive case that required a power cable. Yup, a separate power cable for running that extra disc space. Then they came down in size and ran with the power from USB. They were all slow as balls, but hey, it was still pretty awesome. Well, nowadays, with portable SSDs, they aren’t much bigger than a credit card, and they fly insanely fast. So I took two of these beasties for a spin to see how they hold up and if it was worth getting…

You have no idea how much I have been chomping at the bit for a new PlayStation portable console. I loved my PSP, and I loved my Vita even more. So when I saw the PlayStation Portal, I was initially unimaginably excited, followed by a feeling of “huh, that’s a thing.” Well, now I have the chance to take one for a spin to see if it’s worth $380. So what is the PlayStation portal? https://youtu.be/NmgOWKQj5-Y In short, it’s a hardware version of Remote Play. Once you have set it up, it essentially runs your games on your PS5 and…

I’ve been a pretty big advocate for the devices that put the smart in smart TVs for a while now. The OS’s in TV’s go out of support pretty quickly, whereas a separate device is likely to provide you many more years of usefulness. Having used a Chromecast for a few years now, I wanted to see what else was available on the market. Bring on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max. So what does the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max offer? Plug this bad boy into your HDMI port, set it up super easily, and you have…

School has started for another year. Back in my day expansion drives were refill pads. You could add pages to your books, pop some data down and transfer it to another book. Those were the days, now kids have Robblox, err I mean laptops for school work. So being able to back up, store and share data is more important than ever. WD and SanDisk must-have essentials for students of every age to keep your kiddos important school files from SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD (RRP from $79): The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD lets you access your files from anywhere and at…
