Calico Update Impressions

Nest Wifi Review

One of the issues I've had in my home since I moved in during the fall of 2016 was the inability to have a solid internet connection all around my home. I live in a fully detached side split home, with 4 distinct levels. My providers cable enters the right side of my house into a bedroom - odd place, I know - which means getting a solid connection on the left side of my home is pretty difficult. What makes it worse is that this is the area we spend quite a bit of our time, watching TV, cooking, and entertaining guests. We've used mesh wifi systems to attempt ...

Creative Outlier Air V2 Review

Back in September 2019, we review the Creative Outlier Air's and were really impressed with the overall audio quality. In our review, we were probably a bit nicer than we should have been, because over long periods of the time, the buds did ultimately hurt my ears. When Creative reached out and said they had the Outlier Air version 2 available, I was intrigued to see if the issues I had with the first pair after a few months were rectified in this one. Let's take a look!

After a few weeks trying and testing the product, our impressions are pretty strong.

Just ahead of the holidays, Xbox Canada sent over the Xbox Series X for us to use to review their hottest games in 2021, and there are going to be a few bangers for sure.

More Thoughts From Me #253: Pick A World, Any World

There are a lot of games on sale via the PS4 PSN shop right now. When I had the chance to pick up a couple of games for Christmas, one of the games I got was No Man’s Sky. I’ve wanted to get that game for awhile now. The price was finally right and so I got it, downloaded it, and now I’ve played it a bunch. What do I think of the game so far? No Man’s Sky is…

Had a New Xbox for Christmas? Hints and tips for new Series owners

You unwrapped the packaging and saw this awesome monolith within. Like 2001: A Space Odyssey, you and your family danced around it, screeching to high heaven. No? Just at mine then? Still – you got that Xbox you wanted, and that’s pretty cool too. Maybe you got the black tower-like Series X, or maybe you received the adorable Series S. Either way, you got it set up (you used the mobile app to do your settings while you waited for…

Got a PS5 for Christmas? Here’s everything you need to know

Did Santa manage to get you a PS5 this Christmas? You’re not alone. In fact, the jolly old fat man has been hoarding these things pretty solidly.
