Ninja DualZone Pro DZ950 Review
The Ninja DualZone Pro DZ950 is a large, 10-quart air fryer with two independent 5-quart cooking chambers, each with its own heating element and fan. It draws up to 1,650 watts, has a temperature range of 105 °F to 450 °F, and offers six cooking method presets, including air frying, broiling, roasting, baking, reheating, and dehydrating. Because each basket runs independently, you can cook two different foods at two different settings at once.

Vivitar TWE2-BLK Review

You should buy Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
I played 2024's Lorelei and the Laser Eyes earlier this year, and it was a revelation—scratching exactly the kind of post-Blue Prince itch I'd been looking for. You go to a big mansion full of weird stuff, and solve puzzles to uncover an eerie mystery. The vibes are on point, and the puzzles find the exact right balance of difficulty—just enough friction to make you stop and think without tipping over into frustrating moon logic. And it passes the classic puzzle game sniff-test of being worth breaking out the notebook over.

Fancy a gaming monitor with a 200 Hz refresh rate for less than $200?
I’ve decided the perfect mouse doesn’t exist, so now I swap between two of them
The odd thing about computer mice—gaming, ergonomic, or otherwise—is how subjective they are. I guess we've all got different hand shapes, finger lengths, and technical needs. I've been hunting for the perfect mouse for my particular hands for years now, and I've refined my selection down to two.
Metal desks nearly destroyed a Valorant tournament
Wireless gaming mice are great and have only gotten better with time. They're so good, in fact, that I would not go for a wired model unless I was really looking for a budget option. And yet it turns out wired mice were the best choice for the Valorant Champions tournament in Shanghai, where custom desks were apparently interfering with the signal.
Riot’s absurd expectations of player counts ‘in the high hundreds of thousands, if not millions’ doomed 2XKO from the start
The cost is too dang high.
TIL: The Steam Frame can be used as a pair of night vision goggles
I've yet to get my sticky mitts on the Steam Frame, as our review sample is in high demand. But I've just learned it can be used as a makeshift pair of night vision goggles, as demonstrated by YouTube channel azadovski. And that's just freaking cool.
Micro Center reportedly asking RTX 5090 buyers to declare they won’t export the card

A tiny desktop gaming soundbar for AU$63 is a yes from me
Sound Blaster GS3: was $89.95 now $62.95 A gaming soundbar, you say? Well, it does have RGB. Aside from that, the form factor is purpose-built for a desktop arrangement (if you're a console or TV-centric gamer, you might as well go and look at a normal soundbar). This model fared decently in Ian Eveden's 76 / 100 review.
After a record-breaking September, ‘it’s safe to say Steam’s yearly revenue will blow past $20B for the first time’
The first six months of the year were Steam's biggest, thanks to continued growth in back-catalogue sales as well as blockbuster new releases like Forza Horizon 6 and Resident Evil Requiem. As industry analysts Alinea Analytics report, September was another record breaker based on their estimated figures.
