Review | AVerMedia’s Live Gamer 4K HDMI 2.1 PCI-E Capture Card

Jesse 'Doncabesa' Norris — Tue, 16 Jan 2024 05:00:00 +0000

Avermedia was kind enough to send me their new Live Gamer 4K 2.1 and Live Streamer Ultra HD PCI-E Internal Capture Cards, and boy is it nice to finally have 120hz and VRR back when using my Xbox. Those are the big selling points with the 2.1 card offering up to 4k/144hz HDR VRR passthrough. …

Review | Prince of Persia The Lost Crown

Jesse 'Doncabesa' Norris — Thu, 11 Jan 2024 17:00:00 +0000

Prince of Persia returns to its 2D roots, with an action platformer that gets what makes this “Metroidvania” genre so damned good. You are Sargon, a member of the Immortals, the fiercest warriors in all of Persia. Double-crosses abound, time is broken, and you’ll have to fight destiny itself to try and save the kingdom. …

Review | Corsair K55 Core Keyboard

Jesse 'Doncabesa' Norris — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Corsair was kind enough to send their brand new K55 Core Keyboard. It’s a USB Membrane style RGB “gaming keyboard”. I’ve been a big fan of Corsair’s products, and this keyboard has only made me more of a fan. I’ve used an HP Omen mechanical keyboard for the past few years and feared that going …

Genghis "Solidus Kraken" Husameddin — Fri, 05 Jan 2024 00:43:50 +0000

A nasty virus, an unlivable atmosphere, and creatures from the deep that have emerged—life in the world of METRO QUESTER (“MQ”) is a rough one. Concepted by Kazushi Hagiwara of ‘Bastard!!’ fame and with game design by , this keyboard-focused dungeon crawling role-playing game (“dRPG”) developed by Thousand Games and published by KEMCO has a …

Review | Raccoo Venture

Genghis "Solidus Kraken" Husameddin — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 09:45:00 +0000

Jumping into the fray comes a new 3D platformer that aims to be reminiscent of those of the late 90s. Developed by one-man army Diego Ras and published by QUByte Interactive, ‘Raccoo Venture’ is a platformer that feels closer to Super Mario 3D World than I feel it suggests, but it offers quite a bit …

Review | TEVI

Genghis "Solidus Kraken" Husameddin — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 09:30:02 +0000

Angels, demons, rabbits (bunnies?)—one heck of a combination. But that’s what TEVI is, a 2D Metroidvania with bullet hell elements, developed by the folks behind the well-loved Rabi-Ribi and published by CreSpirit and Neverland Entertainment. Though I never got around to playing it myself, what I can say about TEVI is nothing short of positive and …

Review | QQH Z1-9 15.6″ Portable Travel 1080p HDR Monitor

Genghis "Solidus Kraken" Husameddin — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 06:50:39 +0000

The following product was provided by QQH for review. Over the last week, I spent my time with QQH’s 15.6″ Portable Monitor. This monitor is slim and barely has weight to it, but it not only gave me a lot more screen space to work with using my 14″ Asus ROG but also served as …
