It’s been somewhere over 12 hours. It’s been somewhere over 12 hours and I still haven’t had to charge the JBL Live 670NC headphones. As I naturally finished my recent set at the gym, I sat there thinking “I haven’t even charged these things”. And much like the rest of my experience with them, it’s been nothing but an incredibly easy and brilliant interaction in the age of the internet of things. And IOT was on display from my first interaction with them. When I connected the 670NC headphones to my mobile, they instantly triggered my Google account to register…

Confidence. ‘Confidence’ comes to mind after attending HP’s collaborative event with Intel for their ‘Unleashing the power of AI’ in Sydney. It also just as quickly latches onto bold. While this shares traits of confidence, it demands as much courage as they had for their presentation. While it was an event launching their next range of HP notebooks and workstations, it was also a bold statement. Much like the one which shone on the screen behind Rachel Williams, Head of Personal Systems for HP Australia and New Zealand. “A new era of growth and innovation.” The concept of AI, or…

The timing is impeccable. Bethesda Game Studios announced today that Fallout 4, after 10 years on the shelf, is getting a next-gen update for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The most interesting facet being that this very update was announced almost 2 years ago in October of 2022. Which was when the Fallout franchise celebrated its 25th anniversary. The article stated at the time to “prepare for the future! A next-gen update is coming to Fallout 4! Coming in 2023, this free update will be available for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and Windows PC systems, including performance…

Damn, that’s a saucy and referential heading for something Fallout related. The popular Bethesda game is finally heading to Prime Video this week. And some lucky vault dwellers were invited by Prime Video AUNZ to watch the premiere of the new series! Their lack of luck though means they have to hold their thoughts until Thursday when the show debuts. https://twitter.com/TheHolyEmperor1/status/1777277515201233335 But this unlucky wastelander is able to sneak around it as I was in the barrens like everyone else. Awaiting the doomsday clock to tick past midnight on the 11th of April 2024, so I could finally dig my…

Wow, my first PC review. You’re very lucky Pepper Grinder. I also want to quickly point out how genius that title is. Because Pepper is the character and the Grinder is the tool. Or weapon. Or both? Well it sure can do a lot. But anyway, I just like that Pepper Grinder embraces the “IT’S RIGHT THERE IN THE TITLE” mentality. While reviews will no doubt throw around “retro” and throwback” based on the stylings and gameplay of Pepper Grinder. For me, it follows a trend of smaller studios bringing back and innovating on a time a lot of gamers…

I’ll begin this Skull and Bones review with two phrases. 101 hours.And the quote “I considered deleting it from my console”. Starting development in 2013, Skull and Bones began consideration as a spin-off to the successful Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. While development continued, the initial technology became “outdated”. Therefore it became an independent project which sat in Davey Jones’ locker for the same amount of time it took to make 4 Pirates of the Caribbean films. So what does a game that should bear so much treasure look like? Eh. I can admit there’s a good game in here…

I jumped into my Mighty Ape orders because I wanted to check something. What I found was “24th of January, 2017 at 9:31AM”. It’s the date I received the PlayStation 4 Platinum 7.1 wireless gaming headset. This period was before I really attempted any sort of content or media so no review ever came from it. But I loved them. Boy did I love them. I felt they were my first foray into really hearing the game at its best. And they were good until the ear pads gave way. No doubt caused by my unrelenting ability to sweat both…

I had to think of which site got my first thoughts. Maybe it’s better to sit with them, which in this case means my site can have those. Therefore, Yeah Nah Gaming gets the highs of my having just exited the preview. It’s been almost 3 years since Denis Villeneuve delivered his first part of the Dune series by Frank Herbert. Unlike David Lynch’s 1984 cult classic which tried to fit the whole novel into one movie, it shares the sentiment of the 2000 miniseries adaptation. “It was too much for one movie” says Villeneuve in a 2021 interview with…

It feels odd to leave out ‘remaster’ or ‘remake’ from the title. Not because it’s wrong, but because this puts the very release of Red Dead Redemption in an odd place. The year is 2010. Rockstar Games have just released a new title 2 years after their last Grand Theft Auto game. Taking it back to the days of the Old West, Red Dead Redemption was based off the very muddied release of the former Capcom title, Red Dead Revolver. Telling the story of the former outlaw John Marston, the game went on to sweep the industry with its incredible…

Do you remember the first time you played Tekken? For me, it was at an old arcade. I say it with no discernable name, because at the time my small rural town I grew up in somehow had 2 whole arcades and a variety of dairies and video stores housing cabinets. It could have also been the pseudo-gas station-cum-fish and chip shop which had them hiding off to the side. I know that’s where my first taste of Art Of Fighting was at least. But I do know where my first playthrough at home was. It was at a friends…
