The best part of your shiny new console is that sweet 1TB SSD. Well, until you realize that between the OS and any other data the PS5 needs to run, you wind up with about 800GB of space. Well, now you can fix that without an external hard drive sticking out of it thanks to the WD_BLACK SN850P NVMe SSD. OK, let’s take a step back. 800GB should still fit heaps of games, right? Well, Baldur’s Gate 3 is over 100GB, COD: BlOps Cold War is nearly 200GB, and NBA 2K23 and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor are both about 150GB.…

Oppo has done some special things since hitting the scene. From their early days of including premium features on low-end phones to now, where they have a spread of devices for each budget. I got the chance to check out the midrange OPPO Reno10 Pro to see if it was worth the $1100 price tag. Are you sure this isn’t a premium phone? https://youtu.be/cK5QHsvagg4 Seriously, there is nothing about this phone that feels mid-range. It’s so thin, it’s so light, and it’s a beast. The screen quality isn’t the highest in terms of resolution, but it is bloody high. Brightness…

Since I have been playing with the Ring cam range, I have been consistently impressed. From the doorbells, to their indoor camera, the quality and ease of use have made these easy recommendations. So, naturally, when given the chance to try out the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro to try some outdoor security, I was keen. Setting this beauty up https://youtu.be/FjYiqdCIKaM I have been consistently impressed with the Ring suite for its easy setup. Yet again, it was easy as hell with the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro. Pull it out, plug it in and then scan the QR code…
My MTG newbie series has taken me from knowing absolutely nothing about Magic: The Gathering, to knowing some stuff, but still being terrible. Yet along the way, I have been loving it. This has been in no small part due to the awesomeness that is Bea DND in Petone. The warm atmosphere, amazing staff, and the community they have fostered, makes being a newbie fun. So I decided to go along to my first actual pre-release event! What is a pre-release event? I had done a championship event using pre-release boxes, so I wasn’t totally new to this. But for…

When I checked out the Dyson Gen5 Outsize, I had lots of positive things to say about this glorious vacuum. The one thing I wasn’t saying was that I wish it was also a mop. Well, after checking out the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine, maybe I should have been. The mop you didn’t know you needed What makes the Submarine the Submarine, is the water bit. I mean, it doesn’t go underwater, so it’s still an odd name, but the Dyson Mop doesn’t have a ring to it. So I don’t blame them. Essentially, you pop this separate head onto…
Baldur’s Gate is one of the most iconic CRPG games. With the first game releasing in ’98 and the second in ’00, it’s fair to say that fans have been waiting for the third game for a while. Personally, I tried Baldur’s Gate 2 many years ago, and it didn’t click with me. My younger brain just didn’t click with it, and for the life of me, I don’t remember why. So with Baldur’s Gate 3 releasing after such a gap in time, I wanted to see how it would be for someone who isn’t familiar with the series. It…

With a game like Magic: The Gathering, after 30 years of releases and a passionate fanbase, it’s hard to know if you can jump in as a newbie. I mean, seriously, thousands of potential cards with some long descriptions — how the hell do you learn this complex game? Well, after a friend wanted someone to come to an event with him, I figured I would give it a crack. After so many hours of Googling, I figured I would jump in.
