Hardware Review: HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset
The HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset is not a gaming headset.
It is instead a duel-class all day use headset, and I believe that is exactly what they set out to achieve. HyperX has a history of creating comfortable products,...

Fortnite Battle Royale Review: PUBG Lite?

Perception Review: Blind Luck or Genius Horror?
With all the gloriously gross video game monsters out there, any sort of horror game has a lot of stiff competition. Between fast-moving zombies and Pyramid Head from Silent Hill, it feels like every horror trope has been covered...
Communication Tools for Gamers: Discord, Slack, and Twitch
Over the past decade, we've seen the rise and fall of many new social media platforms and communication apps. I'm old enough to remember when Facebook came and I remember how quickly people jumped ship from MySpace. Skype replaced MSN Messenger...

If you've watched any popular Twitch streamers over the past couple months, you’ve heard of PLAYERUNKNOWN BATTLEGROUNDS. (We'll be calling it PUBG from here on out, because we don't hate you.) Here's how the game works. You join a lobby with...
