Metro 2033 Redux Review: Honey, I Think We Have a Mole Problem

It’s time for something a little different, a first-person shooting game set in the subway of Moscow post armageddon. Metro 2033 Redux is the new and improved version of the original Metro 2033 game, which is also based on a novel of the same name by Dmitry Glukhovsky. This series of games is well-renowned as an immersive first-person shooting experience that combines atmospheric dread, a decent storyline, and solid gunplay. I plan to play all games in this series and write about my experience, so stay tuned. I beat this game in 12 hours; here are my thoughts.

OnePlus 11 5G Review: This Flagship Ticks All the Right Boxes, Except for One

A lot has changed at OnePlus over the past couple of years. The company has merged with OPPO, and OnePlus’ OxygenOS now shares a common codebase with OPPO’s ColorOS. Warp Charge is now called SuperVOOC, which is OPPO’s fast charging brand. And while OnePlus’ affordable Nord N series has been doing well here in the US, the company’s flagships appear to have lost their mojo.

Antlion Audio Kimura Duo IEM Review: Comfortable In-Ear Monitors That Add a Microphone to the Mix

I’m a fan of in-ear monitors and have two pairs of custom in-ear monitors (IEMs) I’ve reviewed and continue to enjoy using. Both sadly lack a microphone and, as a result, are only good for listening to audio. The new Antlion Audio Kimura Duo changes all that with excellent IEMs and an integrated microphone for calls and video, and it’s available at a shockingly low price.

Arlo Safe Review: It Offers Good Hardware, Faulty Tracking Software, and Some Safety Concerns

Do you feel like you’re not tracked in enough places? Sure, you can share your location via Google Maps, Apple Find My <iDevice>, WhatsApp, Snapchat, etc., and your smartwatch is far too eager to ask every time you trip if you’ve fallen and can’t get up. But what if you want or need a dedicated way for someone to track you? Arlo thinks their Arlo Safe stands out, but does it help or hurt?

Tooletries’ Ultimate Scrubber Set Review: This Body & Face Duo Lets You Ditch Your Washcloth

During Hanukkah this year, my wife Raina got me a Tooletries’ Face & Body Scrubber Set. I wasn’t sure what to do with the two silicon pads initially, but once I tried the scrubber set, I was hooked. I honestly don’t know why anyone would use a washcloth when this is available.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns Review: Exhausting Yet Charming

It’s been three days since a goth witch with a cute haircut pulled you out of a tomb. You hear the Abbey waking up, complete with the usual sounds of bickering, wisecracks, and your Superhero Twitter feed buzzing. You’re eager to get the next few mission to, you know, save the world, but your laundry list of chores grows long. You’ve got to pet the dog, listen to Iron Man be a dick, train in the yard, and figure out where the fire gem was hidden to unlock cosmetics. Endless tasks; that’s the vibe of Marvel’s Midnight Suns.

Nomad Modern Leather Case for 2nd Gen AirPods Pro Review: Cover Your AirPods with Leather Luxury

I have a number of excellent true wireless earbuds (TWE) from which to choose, but my daily driver is the AirPod Pro earbuds. I recently upgraded to the second-generation version of Apple’s TWE; they are less revolutionary and more evolutionary in features, but I like the improvements and am enjoying them, and I’m thrilled to have them protected by the new Nomad Modern Leather Case for 2nd Gen AirPods Pro.

Adonit Star Stylus Review: Bring Old-World Class to 2023 Technology

Until a few years ago, I had an extensive fountain pen collection. I loved the design, the history, and the experience that came with fountain pens. Then Apple introduced the Apple Pencil, and my fountain pen days ended. The new Adonit Star Stylus brings the old and the new together in an onscreen writing tool that looks and feels like a classic fountain pen.

Once you get used to having more than one desktop monitor, using a laptop’s single screen can feel a bit like a punishment. When working remotely, bringing along a second (or third) monitor to use with your laptop might not seem practical, much less portable, but there is a solution. The Xebec Tri-Screen 2 makes it possible to have multiple displays in a super-compact form factor!

None, however, have the innovative design of the Runhood Modular Power Station system; its design lets you create the system that’s right for you and then add to it as your needs grow.

Desperados III Review: A Big Damn Onion

A wise man once told me that while getting to your destination is nice, the journey there is the true reward in the end. Spoiler: It’s me, I am that wise man. At the core, Desperados III is a Rube Goldberg machine masquerading as a spaghetti western. It’s the video game equivalent of a packed freeway, with you being a jumped-up motorcyclist who has a perpetual hard-on for “shooting the gap.” You’ve got to be fast, accurate, and adaptable, or this one may not be for you. I beat this game in 40 hours; here are my thoughts.

Tatefield Stone Gray Comforter Review: This 3-Piece Set Helped Me Find the Softer Side of Home Depot

When people hear “Home Depot,” they usually think of a few things; for some people, it’s an exciting place full of the tools to make anything, and for others, it’s that stop you make on the weekends so you/your spouse can buy 15 bags of mulch because “this spring we’re really going to get the backyard looking nice.” You probably don’t give Home Depot much thought when you climb into bed at night; late I have been because I’ve been testing the Home Depot Tatefield Stone Gray comforter!

Escort MAX 360c MKII Radar Detector Review: Another Fantastic Radar Detector Hampered by the (Still) Buggy Drive Smarter App

The Escort MAX 360c radar and laser detector were released five years ago. Made to integrate perfectly into vehicles with their own WiFi hotspots for real-time alerts and ticket threats, the Max 360c gave drivers 360º protection with intuitive onscreen arrows that displayed the direction of threats relative to the driver’s vehicle. It was a hit! The Escort MAX 360c MKII builds upon the original’s success with an all-new internal platform and more powerful components, including a new Blackfin DSP chip that provides faster response times and a 50% improvement on the original model’s detection range.
