Maono is very much a new kid on the block. This Chinese-based sound equipment manufacturer only began operations back in 2014, but if the Maonocaster E2 A is anything to go by, this company is going to turn some heads. With this incredibly affordable, robust, and versatile combination of production…

I sat down to review the SteelSeries Aerox 9 Wireless with some trepidation: what do I really know, much less care, about mice? I understand the value of a good keyboard since I spend hours typing away at them daily. A good headset works for me because I like music…

In 2022, the view of retro gaming is almost always tilted towards classic console systems, leaving the computers that were for many of us foundational aside as mere curios. That’s a huge shame, because it ignores a rich trove of gaming history, creativity and innovation. If you’re talking all three…

I was (and am) a big fan of the Elgato HD60 S+. I use it to capture all the footage for the DDNet YouTube channel, and stream through it on all my gaming devices as well… with the exception of the PlayStation 5. I don’t know if it was something…

Hardware review by Alex Kidman. Blaze’s followup console to the Evercade is a collector’s delight – but also a very good way to legitimately trawl through gaming’s history. There’s a problem with retro gaming. No, I’m not talking the folks that want to convince you that a copy of Mario…

My Powkiddy X18S arrived today. Touted as the first in the “new generation” of handheld emulation consoles out of China, the device’s more powerful chipset means that consoles that previous devices struggled with (think N64, Dreamcast, PSP and DS) are now within reach. On first impressions the console does indeed…

I’ve got around a dozen retro emulation consoles now (if not more… I’ve stopped counting). This became a hobby for me through the last two years of lockdowns and border closures, and I’ve derived a great deal of enjoyment from them. I’m always (very) quick to support legitimate efforts to…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Grammarly, that Web application that keeps an eye on your typing for you, tells me that I write around 120,000 words per week. Given that I work seven days per week, that works out at around 17,150 words per day. Yes, that is a lot, and…
