I wasn't initially excited for Umbrella, but the production is so dang good! Now it's time to play this beautiful game!

Wireless Headsets seem to be releasing at a fast and furious pace, and all the big players are launching bigger and more impressive devices with more bells and whistles than any one person actually needs. That being said, the difference between a mid-range headset and a high end headset is noticeable, and that’s what we found when testing out the Arctis Nova Pro from SteelSeries. The Arctis Nova Pro wireless design has been drastically changed from the ...

Google is launching brand new Pixel devices under the Pixel 9 naming convention, and we couldn't be more excited!
