When the Genki Covert Dock popped up on Kickstarter last year, I was definitely intrigued. How could something so small, do so much? I'll admit right here, that using third party docks definietly worried me as so many others had failed and bricked systems. Thankfully, by all accounts, this dock from Genki won't cause those problems, and I cannot wait to try it out!

I was going to write about Bloodstained Curse of the Moon 2 but this year and the larger issues with a splash of video game thoughts. I think we all lose sight of the big picture sometimes, then life hits us on the head and reminds us. This could perhaps be my last column or perhaps not. My future is uncertain at the moment. My life is a mess. I won’t go into details but things have gone downhill for…

Today, Ubisoft® announced that Hyper Scape will launch on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on August 11 with its Season One: “The First Principle”.

Did you hear? Microsoft don’t see Sony as a competitor anymore. They don’t believe in generations. Hell, they don’t even care how many Series X consoles they sell. None of that is true, by the way, but don’t let that get in the way of a good dig at Xbox. It’s easier to pretend your most hated piece of plastic is a mess when you choose to follow carefully selected pieces of propaganda instead of, I don’t know, reading the…

When Nintendo announced and showed a brief snipit of Paper Mario: The Origami King, I was cautiously optimistic that the company was returning to what made the first two titles in the series so fantastic. Then they showed the puzzle battle system. Then they announced via an interview with Game Informer that there wouldn't be any experience points. And my hopes for the game went from an 8-9/10 to a 2-3/10. Gutted would have been the correct word to use.

There is always tons of discussion around Nintendo Switch game pricing. Not the initial price, which falls in line with other major publishers, but rather the price of a game two...three...may be even four years down the line. Want Breath of the Wild, a Nintendo Switch Launch title? Be ready to pay almost full price if you are getting via the eShop or at retail.

After finally firing up Grounded on my Xbox One X via Xbox Game Pass, I quickly realized I had one major complaint - that the game didn't launch at 12:01 AM Eastern, instead launching at 1:00 PM Eastern. There are few games I ever pre-load onto my Xbox console, but Grounded was one of them. Since it was announced, I've been excited and hyped for the experience. The question is - did it live up to my wild expectations?

Despite what haters might say, Microsoft delivered a robust and game heavy showcase last week that generally left gamers with an excitement for next generation in their mouths. Games, so many games, all coming to the Xbox Series X, some coming to Xbox One, and...wait...all going to be available on Game Pass on day one?!

Late in June 2020, we had the privileged of reviewing a quality budget microphone from Tonor, which we spoke very highly of. When that was sent to us, the company also included a microphone boom arm for us to look at.
