So now that we've reviewed the Talon Bracers from Volante Design, it's time to up the ante a little with some proper gear, starting with the Automata Vest This this is absolutely amazing at first glance, but how does it handle as far as being a fully functional and stylish piece of clothing?

As much as I love Dungeons & Dragons, I admit, there was a time I fell out of it with a number of players and gravitated more toward Pathfinder.

So we grabbed a drinking buddy and enjoyed a bottle for review. So starting with the look of it, this is actually a red-tinted porter blend that poured out of the bottle with a fine smokey scent The head, as you can see here, is a golden tan that matches well with the pour Immediately before you[...]

Pickles" to work together.

Earlier this year we got the chance to check the amazing Razer Panthera arcade stick and had a pretty good time reviewing it with a few fighting games One of the games we got several rounds in with it was Dragon Ball FighterZ, and shortly after the game came out we got word that the[...]

The last of the subscription boxes waiting for us at our door when we got back from PAX West was the August box from Loot Gaming.

Over the past few months, we've had the pleasure of reviewing a few cool items from AZIO and their Retro Series, with the latest being the Heara These are a pair of gaming earbuds that have been designed to look and match up with the previous keyboard we received that looked like a typewriter But[...]

(The last of those three is the one that was sent with our review unit.) These keys feel smooth to the touch, less tactile, and a hair more responsive than the usual Romer-G versions You get more of a click as they come down They're not what I would call "friendly" to people with fatter[...]

The last set of items we so humbly received from Jinx a few weeks ago are a set of Overwatch Premium Tees featuring some of the game's characters.

Throw still-missing Luciana (Danay Garcia), Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey), and Charlie (Alexa Nisenson) into the mix – after a major storm threw them around like Legos – and it's pretty clear this isn't going to be a simple case of "grab-n-go." Oh, and then there's Filthy Lady (Tonya Pinkins) and her "mission" to bring Morgan back to[...]

It may have come a little late, but when we finally received out August box from Loot Tees, we were ecstatic to find what was inside.

Along with the two sets of dice we were sent for review from Die Hard Dice, we also got a chance to review a couple of their foldable rolling trays These were a total surprise and something we weren't expecting from the company But how well do they actually work when they get put to[...]

A while ago we got the chance to review an Elderwood Academy Chest with the Acquisitions Incorporated logo on the top We were mighty impressed with the look and design of it, so we wanted to see what else the group had in store This time around we're reviewing one of their awesome Spellbook game[...]

The second pair of dice we received for review from Die Hard Dice blew us away as we got to play with some of the Gold Emerald metal dice from the Gemstone Collection We'd seen them in display a few times before but had always gravitated to different sets for our characters So how well[...]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's weekly review of FXX's long-running comedy It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia; as the series steamrolls through its hopefully lucky 13th season, we're taking a look at the season's second episode 'The Gang Escapes.' Nothing against Cindy (Mindy Kaling) because I feel like we're going to see her again, and her insane[...]

Did I say it's great? No, but it's a blast of a popcorn ride. [rwp-review-recap id="0"] In a similar fashion to most of the franchise, The Predator isn't really a horror film At best it's a thriller, but mostly it's action We know all about the alien's abilities and bag of tricks, so we don't really get[...]
