Review: VicTsing Quad Core Android Smart TV Box

So here’s an interesting device. With the smart TV market heating up, there are more and more devices finding their way into consumers hands. Of course we’ve all heard of the big brands like the Amazon Fire TV, and the Apple TV, so what room does that leave for other, smaller, brands? Well, apparently there […]

Review: Star Wars The Force Awakens BB8 NO: 61 Funko Pop

Oh BB-8, you lovable little scamp. You’ve rolled into my collection and forced my hand, leading me to begin my descent to the dark side, and collect Star Wars Funko Pop. It’s a burden for sure, but someone has to do it! So that little random rant aside, I love the BB-8 Funko! It’s a […]

Review: The Last Wish (The Witcher)

Being a fan of The Witcher game series I decided to give the stories, written by Andrzej Sapkowski, a try, and I can say right from the start that I wasn’t dissapointed. The book contains a series of short stories, following our main character, Geralt of Rivia. There’s a main story in the background, that […]

Review: Star Wars: Darth Vader Volume 1 – Vader

So, I decided to take a look at Marvel’s Darth Vader series, hoping that it would capture the Darth Vader we all know and love and explore some of his backstory. Instead I got something that read more like the annoying Anakin Skywalker from the prequels. Now, it’s not a bad read, it’s just not […]

Review: Captain America Unmasked Funk Pop No: 92

Another great little pop with fantastic levels of detail. The paint work is fantastic, with only a few areas where it overlaps the mold. On the chest the blue does overlap onto the white, but it’s barely noticeable. The shield looks great and has a good shine to it which makes the detail really stand […]

Review: Iron Man (Unmasked) No: 94 Funko Pop

Absolutely great. Love Iron Man and this Pop looks fantastic. The quality is good and the paint looks really great, even up close. His suit has a really good looking shine to it and his facial hair really helps to capture that Tony Stark look. The paint job is really well done here, despite there […]

Review: EC Technology 8-Ports 60W 12A USB Desktop Charger

I’ve used plenty of USB multi chargers and they are normally pretty average. The biggest problem I usually face is that when you start getting too many devices charging at once, charging becomes intermittent on certain devices, especially iPad’s and other tablets. I’m happy to say that with this USB charger that wasn’t the case. […]

Likes • Light weight • Lightning fast • Awesome camera • Dedicated camera button Dislikes • Random key presses • Reboots • Average battery Introduction So I finally have it, my Lumia 950. With the arrival of Microsoft’s first flagship handset, running their latest mobile operating system, things could really shape up and get interesting. […]
