Faceoff Wired Pro Controller from PDP for Nintendo Switch
If you are anything like me, you have likely applauded Nintendo for the invention of the Joy-Con. Two together makes a full, regular sized controller, but on their own they can quickly provide flexibility by allowing two players to play instead of one. It is an ingenious bit of technology that makes the Nintendo Switch compatible for two players, right out of the box. But let's be real, if the opportunity was available, and funds unlimited, everyone would purchase 4 Nintendo Pro Controllers and be done with these Joy-Con controllers all together. Sadly, at 89.99 CAD a piece, purchasing 4 of these units becomes a costly endeavour. Enter Performance Design Products, and their Faceoff Wired Pro Controller.

To celebrate 60 years of LEGO, the LEGO Group has launched a number of LEGO brick starter sets, themed in a specific way, which includes a booklet of building ideas.

The Bricks on a Roll set from LEGO boasts 442 pieces of rolling fun, themed around wheels. Despite not having the flashy franchise of LEGO City, LEGO Creator, or other themed sets, Bricks on a Roll stands alone very well, and adds a number of harder to find items to your LEGO collection, all for 29.99 USD.
Samsung Gear S3 Frontier: Battery
One of the reasons most people shy away from smart watches is the assumed battery life such a device could have. Some of the fancy, higher tech devices require a charge every day and a half - which ultimately means you are charging every night to avoid it dying mid day. Even watches that claim to track your sleep become unusable as most individuals are popping them on the chargers overnight, limiting some of the watches functionality that consumers paid for. So far, after about a month with the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier, I haven't run into a single battery issue, and getting the advertised 3 days on a single charge seems pretty close to legitimate. Lets break down my use, and how that in turn affects battery life.
