I would like to think I have a firm grasp on conventions and convention life. Comic-Cons, AX, E3, and Comikaze have all been checked off my bucket list. What was next to move forward into?

We got some insight on future cosplay costumes, and it was also when we first got word of her non-profit that still has a working title. It’s been a few months and Jessica has been busy since then with conventions, signings, [...]

More recently, Sony has come up with SimulView, an innovation that has me reeling on the days of split-screen gameplay. However, their premium-grade products do come at a hefty price. [...]

At this year’s CES, I got the hands-on privilege with Razer’s latest in gaming controllers for the PC and Xbox 360, the Razer Sabertooth. At first glance you will notice the controller is modeled after its predecessor, the Razer Onza, Which I currently own. The Sabertooth is most definitely a better built product than the Onza. A hefty amount [...]

We saw the not so subtle release of the “Piston” by Xi3. Now we have a bit more light as to what the “Steam Box” might be. While the “Piston” is Xi3′s version of the once rumored “Steam Box” we observed various other manufactures have capable devices. For example Alienware, Digital Storm, and other hardware manufactures with [...]

One item at today’s CES that really had me interested was the Art Lebedev Optimus Popularis keyboard. Not only was this thing clean, compact, and visually striking, but it has one of the most clever features I’ve ever seen. Its transparent keys, which can be mapped for particular functions, feature icons or set macros tailored [...]
