(Note: I know I have to do the Dale Review specials...I just haven't had time. They are coming trust me but for now take a Geek I/O one!)

Dale Reviews 14 - Encino Man

Suggested by: Rachel Boat (finishing Pauly Shore month)

TITO Rating: 5.5

My interpretation of the plot: A stoner and a normal person find a caveman in the ground and they decide to defrost him and raise him as a stone head and confused senior...the Pauly Shore

Back story/Fun Fact: Pauly Shore's performance in Encino Man won him the Razzie Award for Worst New Star. (No surprise there)

Now for the review....umm, I could get over the campyness of the Pauly Shore "comedy" in the past but not this time. There are too many odd phases and obscure 90's references in this movie for my young brain to handle

Some other notes. Is it just me but did they have fun with the shake machine to create earthquakes at random points? Also, my ice-cream was melting fast whilst watching this movie. I picked up this in Jury Duty, but it was clear in this but was Jeopardy funding this move because all of the different mentions.

Want more notes...listen below!

Dale Reviews 13 - Bio-Dome

Fri, 17 May 2013 18:30:00 +0000

Suggested by: Rachel Boat (For Pauly Shore month)

TITO Rating: 7.5

My interpretation of the plot: Regular Pauly Shore formula but this time in a rain forest.

Back story/Fun Fact: N/A

Now for the review....Basically, I enjoyed the smugness of this film but huge plot hole was unavoidable in this movie.

Some other notes. PLOT HOLE: So they are in a perfectly controlled eco-system...first of all you don't have laughing gas, air-conditioning running throughout the dome, junk food in a natural environment, and there is a ton more!

But I will say that Safety Dance is best working music ever. This movie wins the "Best Soundtrack" award for anything I have reviewed on this program.

Dale Reviews 12 - Jury Duty

Fri, 10 May 2013 23:09:53 +0000

Suggested by: Rachel Boat (For Pauly Shore month)

TITO Rating: 6.5

My interpretation of the plot: A sexually confused failed stripper get a notice to serve jury duty. At first everything is going bad for Pauly Shore, but he uses his wittiness to save himself from going insane.

Back story/Fun Fact: I couldn't find one?

Now for the review....Simply, this film as a lot of holes...but I enjoy looking at the screen but I didn't like watching it.

Some other notes. LOTS OF NOTES! But first a dark breaking and entering scene to a strip clip, called International House of Beef Cakes. Also, I don't believe that this version of Pauly Shore owns a suit by the way, and he needs to learn to shut his mouth. I mean you shout out "Your out of order" in a court room because you will get thrown out. Also you can't pull your hand out of a bus without it bleeding or without it being broken. But one positive from this movie...I had a screen capping fantastic fun-time during the dream sequence!

Keep calm and tranny on!

Dale Reviews 11 - Son In Law

Fri, 03 May 2013 18:00:00 +0000

Suggested by: Rachel Boat (For Pauly Shore month)

TITO Rating: 8

My interpretation of the plot: A shy country girl goes to college and meets the residential adviser, who is a confused student who has studied everything. Carla Gugino takes Pauly Shore back home and they fall in love despite the existing relationship with Dan Gauthier

Back story/Fun Fact: To promote the film, MTV ran a contest to marry Pauly Shore in Las Vegas. Tanya Cinotti of Salisbury, Massachusetts, won the honor and the wedding was set for July 2, 1993. Though there was a ceremony, no marriage certificates were signed.

Now for the review....This movie felt like "Guess Who Coming To Dinner" but it took too long to build up. This film on my marking sheet got a boarding 7/8 and I gave it an 8 because of overall funness of the movie but it took to long to get there and the soft moments at the end were not needed.

Some other notes. I don't know much about American culture, so the South Dakota and California in-jokes going on. You know your movie is dated when you roller skate everywhere. Some dialogue moments..,"It's better than a kick in the face with a golf shoe" and "If we wait any longer any longer it will be my graduation." Now some euphemisms, like "Re-glazed your sub-route and "Tweaked my melons"

Keep calm and tranny on!

Dale Reviews 10 - Primer

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 18:30:00 +0000

Suggested by: Listener, Hawk484

TITO Rating: 6

My interpretation of the plot: A group of hackers build this super machine that manipulates people.

Back story/Fun Fact: This picture explains this movie pretty well http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/Time_Travel_Method-2.svg

Now for the review....Yes I followed for this movie for the most part, yes there were moments that were a bit grey but it payed of (well for me at least) at the end. There still are face palm moments in this movie, but they handled the concept of the movie pretty well.

Some other notes. Face palm moments include: The actors talking over each other. You know the budget was low when you have to steal parts for your computer from other people. Editing: DO SOME! Clean cuts are fine but not for every time.

I could list all of the finer details all day, but I think they handled the actual scientific concept excellently and the fact some of the face palm moment are answered later in the film, I can be more easy towards some of the minor face palms. For example, The fact one of them is wearing a different suit and everyone else, is forgivable despite my taste for fashion (clearly) *cough*.

Keep calm and tranny on!

Dale Reviews 9 - The Gingerdead Man

Fri, 19 Apr 2013 18:00:00 +0000

<clean>

Running Time: 8:38

Written Review

Suggested by: ME!! (Yay, I got a suggestion on the show)

TITO Rating: 3

My interpretation of the plot: Something about a bakery and how a bad batch of gingerbread men results in one transforming and killing people and the only way that this can be solved is by eating it!

Back story/Fun Fact: The original sequel was planned to be entitled "Gingerdead Chick." Somehow this movie has a 60% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Now for the review.... I had an "Evil Dead" feel throughout this film but it stunk of "In The Name King" and with consist reminders that "Oh yes, this is a direct to DVD release." This movie smelt of potential, but failed to hit my mark.

Some other notes. Here we go...in rapid fire style!

Firstly long and strange opening credits for no reason and you don't need to take 10 minutes to wrap-up your movie. Shooting people in a "Shoot Production" seem redundant. My first question in this movie was, what mother honers killing people. You know you are up for a fun movie when the main set has the worst sign. The stereotypical horror score drove me insane. If this movie taught me one thing, always use the front entrance. Baker Butcher...really. Oh hey, your arm is bleeding, I know let's put it in the dough. Speaking of the dough, was that some of the worst stop motion you have ever seen. Troupe time! The competition teaming up with the other team and the consist walking into traps are the only two I care about. But the best part of the movie was the bitch fight!

At least movie mad me smile

Keep calm and tranny on!

Dale Reviews 8 - Transformers: Beast Wars

Fri, 12 Apr 2013 17:25:00 +0000

Suggested by: CJ Boat

TITO Rating: 7

My interpretation of the plot: Some animals cash into a misery planet then they meet some bad animals then they fight...transformer style!

Back story/Fun Fact: The show ran for three seasons. The first season ran from September 16th 1996 though to April 1st 1997. Season 2 ran from 26th of October 1997 though to March 13 1998 and season 3 ran from 13 October though to March 7th 1999.

Now for the review....I think if saw this back in the 90's (or if I was alive), I think I would have appreciated the graphics better. Saying that, I enjoyed the absolute corny dialogue and sort of the enjoyed the crappy graphics.

Some other notes. I didn't really take any notes...but I did capture about 12-13 different sound clips (hence why I put the audio review up this week.

Keep calm and tranny on!

Dale Reviews 7 - The Producers - The Movie

Sun, 07 Apr 2013 10:43:00 +0000

Suggested by: Jon Slater

TITO Rating: 9.5

My interpretation of the plot: A Broadway producer and a nerdy accountant partner to attempt to make the biggest Broadway “flop” but an OVER gay director/actor turns it into a hit and the producers get locked up. Whilst in the lock-up, they write and produce another play that turns everything around!

Back story/Fun Fact: This film contained six dick jokes...can you point them out?

Now for the review....THIS MOVIE WAS AMAZING (not perfect though.) It was uplifting and comedic relief from what we've been watching on Geek-I/O

Some other notes. Two main problems with the film (or The WHOLE Producers as a whole) is the Ulla having 50 million names. Also, they use too many sets in the opening song "I Want To Be A Producer." It's like a grand tour of New York for no reason.

Keep calm and tranny on!

Dale Reviews 6 - The Raven

Fri, 29 Mar 2013 17:05:57 +0000

Suggested by: Jon Slater

TITO Rating: 8.5

My interpretation of the plot: An acclaimed poet and critic of poetic pieces inspires a serial killer to plot out his murders exactly how they are published. While the plot of the film is fictional, the writers based it on some accounts of real situations surrounding Edgar Allan Poe's mysterious death

Back story/Fun Fact: The film holds a rating of 22% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 123 reviews. The Raven barely broke even at the box office by grossing $26.05 million worldwide on a budget of $26 million.

Now for the review....Now my tranny score might be a bit elevated (yes I just said elevated trannies...ha!) But I love the old British-type style and I think this movie keeps in this feel all the way throughout. The movie held it's story throughout and it was clear where it was going, but one complaint about this movie is that it played all of it's cards at the beginning and kind of left nothing to play off in the middle of the film.

Some other notes. This movie taught me that quoting poetry in the bar will get you punched! But my main point that I wanted to make with this movie is, that this movie is about a writer and a critic that inspires to act on what he writes...hey that sounds like me. I hope I haven't inspired anyone to do anything bad? Also, I hope my run on Geek IO doesn't get bumped for a Longfellow. That would make me very angry!

Keep calm and tranny on!

Dale Reviews 5 - The Evil Dead

Sun, 24 Mar 2013 22:54:21 +0000

Sorry about the delay...I have been SUPPER BUSY!!

Dale Reviews 5 - The Evil Dead

Suggested by: Jarred A

TITO Rating: 8

My interpretation of the plot: In this cheesy film where a group of young people decide to go to for a weekend camping trip to a spooky place in the middle of the woods. One by one, each member of the group gets dragged to come to the dark side.

Back story/Fun Fact:

Because of the crew's inexperienced nature, filming was a "comedy of errors". The very first day of filming led to the crew getting lost in the woods during a scene shot on a bridge. Several crew members ended up getting injured during the shoot, and because of the cabin's remoteness, it made securing medical help very difficult.

Now for the review....and I think that it's that comedy of errors and the cheese factor that makes this movie so enjoyable to watch. Now, I'm not a huge fan of this genre, so I didn't really pay attention to most of the second half of this film, however, some of those parts were laughable.

Some other notes. One of my main notes (apart from pointing out all of the cheese factor points) is that the way to listen to audio books in 1981 is to pull out the biggest tape machine and by plugging tangled up pair of headphones. Also, with the welcome dinner, what type of food was that! That is something that I wouldn't even feed my cat. Lastly, this movie had a horrible attempt at porn, with the whole tree and the lady scene that went for WAY to long. Overall, I had fun laughing at this movie campyness but if you aren't into that...this movie is not for you!

Keep calm and tranny on!

Dale Reviews 4 - Memento

Fri, 15 Mar 2013 23:38:22 +0000

Suggested by: Jared Budlong

TITO Rating: 1 (yep we're back to crap movies)

My interpretation of the plot: After Trannie Adam thinks he has an accident and bumps his head, Lennard, who can't remember what he had for breakfast, goes on an adventure to try and find the lowlife who murdered and raped his wife.

Back story: As hinted above, Guy Pearce played trannies Adam Whitely and Felicia Jollygoodfellow in 1994's "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" (TITO connection.) As for this movie, it appeared in several best of lists. Including Steven Jay Schneider's "1001 Movies You Must See You Die". It was number 976 (above Dancer in the Dark)

Now for the review....This has to be the worst film I have ever seen! This movie is soo bad. The actors looked so uncomfortable and the delivery of the dialogue is like interacting with cardboard. I get the concept, but I think it could be executed better. Also, there was nothing to hold on to in this movie, no joy, no comic relieves...nothing! I had more fun with BloodRayne for crying out load, and the only reason this got a higher score is this had some production value to it.

Some other notes. (Man did I get some notes) Skipping over most of my notes, Watching Guy piecing this puzzle together was like watching a two year old trying to build a table. This movie had a lot of inappropriate f-bombs, maybe that's just me as I don't use them often. Oh, getting back to the concept real quick, I know the movie was meant to have the inter-crossing storyline but I think this movie would have been better without it. I was sitting there wondering which storyline we were on, and I know the blank and white filter was meant to help but it didn't as they forgot to change it back towards the end. Lastly aren't we glad that Polaroid Cameras were still a thing in the year 2000. What would they use instead if this movie would be re-made...not a laptop with a digital camera...he would loose it every 10 minutes. Actually, I surprised he didn't loose his files even once.

I am deferentially stopping my notes there....you would be here all day if I didn't.

Dale Reveiws 3 - The One (2001)

Fri, 08 Mar 2013 21:15:05 +0000

Suggested by: CJ Boat

TITO Rating: 8.5 (Finally a good movie!!!)

My interpretation of the plot: A super Asian criminal, formally an officer of the "Multiverse Authority" (MVA) that polices inter-dimensional travel (via detecting wormhole openings, which can be predicted like the weather via flip phones), seeks to hunt down and kill all other variations of himself in alternate universes. In which, the alternative does some crazy actions (for example killing his wife because she is confused as she can see 2 different people.)

Back story: Clearly this movie has gotten better with time. The film received mostly negative reviews. Based on 84 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an overall approval rating from critics of 14%, with an average score of 3.9/10

Now for the review....I don't care if I'm the highest rating this week, this movie deserves it! The (relatively) simple plot mixed with the rocking soundtrack to back the fight scenes and to use a transitions is the way a good movie should be made!

Some other notes. One distracting thing about this movie is that it has all of these hi-tech fancy guns and touch panels in your alternate universe...but you have a small box television and every time the TV is on in the background it is playing the George W Bush health care reform speech (Is there something I'm missing something?) Also, who needs this cool tech, when you have fantastic kung-fu skills and slow motion on your side. Lastly this movie taught me so many things, but the most importantly that humans don't have paws and a tail....

This has been fun! If you have any feedback or suggestions, you can email them directly to me at thechefwonder @ gmail . com (remove the spaces) or tweet them to me twitter.com/TheDaleCampbell and huge thanks to CJ and the Geek IO crew for letting me release the trannies each and every week!

Dale Reviews 2 - BloodRayne

Sun, 03 Mar 2013 11:15:35 +0000

Suggested by: Jonathan Slater (for Geek IO video game month) (again)

TITO Rating: 0.5 (out of 10)

My interpretation of the plot: In this trope fest that features everything from speaking out notes, ketchup packs, cardboard-cutout dialogue and bad bleary flashbacks, Rayne is the half-human half-vampire Dhampir and the lead attraction in a carnival's freak-show in Romania. When she some how transports to a strange land, she meets a fortuneteller that tells that her mother was raped by the king of the vampires Kagan and she decides to destroy her father.

Back story: The film is meant to be based on the Majesco video game of the same name. This movie cost $25 million (what what was it spent on) and only made $1.5 million (approx) at the box office however it made $3.5 million in Home Entertainment sales (June 2006)

Now for the review...In The Name Of The King but for a "different" video game. Like The name of the king you have bad editing, cardboard dialogue, and all of the tropes you know and love from 800 different movies.

Some other notes: Instead of Benny Hill music...this time he have trombones (yey *sarcasm* ). Speaking of sounds, why are we being reminded that horses are still the main form of transportation. I was so tempted to give this movie a 1, for the boobies but seeing they kept using ketchup packs for blood. Speaking of boobies, why did the middle of the film turn into a porn (I'm sure that's not the source material.) I sear without all of the flashbacks, this movie would have been 60 minutes. Also, you don't end your movie staring into the camera...she crept me out and left a bad taste in my mouth.

This had been fun! If you have any feedback or suggestions, you can email them directly to me at thechefwonder @ gmail . com (remove the spaces) or tweet them to me twitter.com/TheDaleCampbell and huge thanks to CJ and the Geek IO crew for letting me release the trannies!

Dale Reviews 1 - Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals

Thu, 21 Feb 2013 08:39:01 +0000

Suggested by: Jonathan Slater (for Geek IO video game month)

TITO Rating: 2 (out of 10)

My interpretation of the plot: In this completely pointless "thing," two children are blasted to "Planet R" in the apparent future to help save the world.

Back story: Wow! Depending on who you ask, this "thing" is considered either a four part movie or a mini-series or just simply a failed TV show that couldn't get off the ground. Legend of the Crystals is meant to based on Final Fantasy V but kinda get some things are not quite right. (For example, chocobos appear featherless and somewhat alien in appearance)

Now for the review....Very disappointing. I was expecting Final Fantasy but got served slightly frozen leftovers! Also you can't get passed the fact the shots, editing and out of sync voice work and sound clips. I give this two things; the fact that is VERY pretty and the plot is clear. As for the music, I felt so-so on it, it was relevant but didn't blow me away.

Some other notes. The over the top slap-stick feel got boring really quickly. I would given this a 3 have anything but animals jumped out in the dessert (like a tranny!) Lastly, when you get in trouble, your transport doesn't speed up suddenly.

Ferguson, Baltimore, and #BlackLivesMatter: Questions and Answers

Thu, 30 Apr 2015 14:26:24 +0000

I’ve been asked a lot what I think about the #BlackLivesMatter movement, which started last year with the death of Mike Brown at the hands of a police officer, and continues to this day with the protests-slash-riots in Baltimore. I haven’t answered much because either I’ve been too pissed off to be coherent, or because … Continue reading →

Perixx 5200 Mechanical Keyboard Review

Thu, 25 Jun 2015 09:34:29 +0000

Once upon a time all keyboards were mechanical. They were also expensive to produce, of course so it wasn’t long before something cheaper came along. But those membrane keyboards weren’t perfect and many people still prefer the tactile sensations and improved accuracy even if it does come at a price.

But for some, that price is still too high with some keyboards reaching astronomical prices. There are, though, some cheaper options available if you don’t want a lot of bells and whistles. At £69.99 on Amazon the Perixx 5200 hits a good spot.

Coming out of the box, the 5200 feels like a hefty machine. It’s plastic but has a decent weight and sturdiness to it; this thing could probably stop a bullet, though that wasn’t tested as part of this review. The only other things in the box are a usb-ps2 converter and a braided mini USB cable. The latter of which plugs into a nice little alcove under the machine that prevents any accidental tugs from damaging the port. A detachable cable also means that it can be easily replaced should you want to have a longer reach or have cats.

Setting it up with your machine is as simple as plug and play gets with no extra software dragging it down. Some might see the lack of options limiting but others will enjoy the negligible footprint this keyboard has on their machine. Of course this does mean that configurations are limited. Each key is nicely backlit with white LEDs but there’s no option to change the colour or brightness. What you can do, though, is use MT+TAB to scroll through a couple of settings which illuminate the full board, the WASD keys or the arrow keys in sequence. The last option turns off the lighting entirely. One particularly nice feature, though, is the Game mode that can be turned on with a G key in the top right corner. This disabled the windows key so you don’t accidentally press it during a gaming session.

The final bell and/or whistle is a macro option. There are eight M keys on the top row which can be used to record and play a sequence of key presses. It’s nice, and very easy to set up, but because you don’t have any software it’s also very limited. You can only record keystrokes and it doesn’t take pauses into account so you won’t be using them to go through your spell rotation in WoW… at least not with a lot of ease. There’s nothing stopping you from being clever and using them to set off the keyboard shortcuts from other macros for example.

But what about actually using it? It’s an actual and genuine pleasure.

Every keystroke on those Cherry Blue switches registers with a physical and audible click. The first words of this review came about because it brings back romantic memories of writing on an actual typewriter. In a world where many people are using the keyboards that shipped with their PCs this keyboard is a revelation. You can actually feel your accuracy improve on some instinctive level; typo’s are fewer, touch typing is instinctive and there’s less doubt where your finger is going to fall as you hammer away at whatever you’re writing.

The benefits in gaming are less pronounced, but definitely there. There’s no second guessing when, or whether a key is activated, and there’s no issue with missed keystrokes but really, that’s only a huge advantage if you game by mashing your fists against the keyboard.

One factor that doesn’t fall into an easy pro or con, though, is that signature clackity clack of the Cherry Blue switches. For most this is a huge selling point, but for others it could well be a dealbreaker; they aren’t quiet. Using it in a quiet office seemed to exaggerate the sound to distracting proportions, but not to the point where anyone complained. It was noticed over a couple of skype calls but only because it made typing sound a little on the aggressive side.

Since the Perixx 5200 is an entry level Mechanical keyboard some corners have been cut in the name of saving cost, but they’ve been done by losing extra features without a single compromise in quality. If you’re mechanical-keyboard curious and don’t mind a basic keyboard then this is the one for you. If you absolutely need intelligent macros and a million customisable keys then be prepared to spend a lot more.

Five Stars.

Press Release: NeweggBusiness Launches New Business-class PCs

Wed, 13 May 2015 12:00:00 +0000

In a press release today, computer store giant, newegg.com has announced they are stepping into the enterprise IT game, with NeweggBuisness!

Their first contender into the areana, the ABS N-Series, is a fierce one indeed. The base model, starting at US$649 is an easy comparison to everything Dell can offer at that price point, raising the game by introducing a key element: default SSD!

Is this going to cause companies who have held the Enterprise title for so long to finally step up their game? Only time will tell.

The ABS begins shipping later this month.

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE:

WHAT
- Powramid® Power Center and USB Charging Station
WHO
- Accell
WHERE:
- http://www.accellcables.com/products/powramid-power-center-and-usb-charging-station
WHY:
- Lots of ports, large and spaced out, able to plug a myriad of devices in and handles them all in a form factor that works for carrying that much load

- Is pleasant to the eye, looks really cool just sitting on the table or the floor.
RATING:
- 8/10
  - Too large to travel with easily, but if you can fit it in, goes everywhere with you with no problem, can carry all of your goodies and more. Plus, it looks really cool

Press release: IK Multimedia releases VocaLive 2

Tue, 22 Jul 2014 19:50:12 +0000

IK Multimedia releases VocaLive 2, the complete vocal
performing/recording app now features a full editing studio

Record, process and edit pro-quality vocals now with a full
built-in DAW on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

July 22, 2014 - IK Multimedia, the leader in mobile music-creation apps and accessories, is proud to announce the new version of the highly acclaimed VocaLive™ app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, which now adds a flexible new multitrack studio with digital audio workstation features. Now singers, songwriters and musicians of all kinds can benefit from advanced editing features like timeline audio editing, waveform visualization, touch-and-drag looping and more.

When used with the IK Multimedia iRig? line of microphones and mic interfaces, like the upcoming iRig Mic HD or the popular iRig PRO, iRig PRE, iRig Mic, iRig Voice and iRig MIC Cast, VocaLive provides an all-in-one solution - with superb sound quality, recording flexibility and ease-of-use - for the professional singer on the go.

The new VocaLive studio
The newest feature in VocaLive 2 is its Studio section. Designed to compliment VocaLive's Recorder section, it allows for a full degree of editing and composing flexibility with recorded tracks. Now musicians can see and manipulate their audio tracks (up to 4 on iPhone and 8 on iPad) as waveforms on a timeline grid, just like on a computer digital audio workstation.

Clips can be easily moved and adjusted with a simple gesture. Its grid feature provides "snapping" of regions to the timeline for precise and easy positioning. Audio regions can be manipulated with a full set of standard commands and controls: cut, copy, paste, delete, normalize, split, crop and more. Now, with VocaLive 2, it's never been easier to record, edit and arrange complete songs while on the move.

Powerful vocal effects
At its core, VocaLive continues to be all about outstanding vocal processing effects. VocaLive includes 5 "Vocal Effects": Pitch Fix (for pitch correction or stylized quantization), Choir (a 3-part harmonizer), Morph (a pitch and formant shifter that changes the tonal quality of the voice from subtle deepening to radical gender bending), DeEsser (a sibilance remover) and Double (a voice doubler). It also includes 7 "Studio Effects": Reverb, Delay, Parametric EQ, Compressor, Chorus, Phazer and Envelope Filter.

VocaLive features 3 effect "slots" on iPhone and 4 on iPad, where users select the effects they want to use and chain them together. VocaLive's intuitive interface makes it easy to reconfigure effect chains to explore your creativity and make wildly new sounds. Favorite chains can be saved to a user preset bank or assigned to one of four "favorites" buttons for fast recall. VocaLive's full MIDI compatibility allows its presets to be controlled by compatible foot controllers like IK's wirelessiRig BlueBoard.

Price and availability
VocaLive 2 is a free update for all existing users and it's available now on the App StoreSM both as a free or paid app for iPhone/iPod touch or iPad for only $11.99/?10.99 for new users. The new studio feature is available as an in-app purchase for $9.99/?8.99 on iPhone and iPod touch and $14.99/?13.99 on iPad for users who have already purchased the multitrack Recorder, or at a special "Total Studio Bundle" price of $17.99/?15.99 on iPhone and iPod touch and $26.99/?23.99 on iPad that also includes the multitrack recorder.

Geek Toys Episode 1: StarTech.com's 7-Port USB Charger

Wed, 30 Apr 2014 19:02:43 +0000

This week on Geek Toys, I go in depth with the StarTech 7-Port USB Station

Here's a breakdown of what I thought:

Small - fits in your pocket, or bag with no issue

Rotating DC plug - able to fit in any DC outlet anywhere in the US.

5x 1A USB ports for everyday use

2x 2A ports for blistering charging speed

$69.99 is a little higher than I would like, but for my use, I would pay for it several times over. Honestly, this little powerhouse is a spectacular device, and easily worth every dime.

My rating:

9/10

TL;DR - If you have a bunch of devices like any self-deserving tech geek does, YOU NEED THIS. If not, the $69.99 price tag may be a little steep.

Loot Crate Unboxing: Here there be Dragons

Mon, 28 Apr 2014 21:47:08 +0000

By Darrell Shayler

The subscription box is one of those services that has blossomed of late. The first I tried was Graze, a healthy snack delivered to your door. It started out simple enough, though more recent boxes increased their recipes’ complexity (or added cheaper filler to the premium items if you’re cynical).

Loot Crate, however, is a little different. Each month you get a themed box filled with items of general geekery. Books, T-Shirts, minifigs, they’ve all featured prominently in previous boxes and below you’ll find my first unboxing of my first box.

Looking back on my first box it did perhaps underwhelm in comparison to my expectations, I had built them up in anticipation of 'new shiny' after all. I did do a little research into the prices of the individual parts it actually seems like it wasn't too badly valued either, though this says more for the high prices of such geek related merchandise these days. It was certainly good enough to have me excited all over again for next month's delivery.

What I don’t mention in the video is that there is a monthly mega crate giveaway that contains some impressive items. Hopefully I’ll get to do an unboxing of one of those one day.

Bottom line, Loot Crate is a fun monthly treat for your favourite geek (especially if that geek is you) but it falls under the category of disposable-income-only, but ultimately its great to have something really cool sent to you each month. I like to think of it as buying a little surprise for your future self, and it's a gift they're sure to thank you for.

If you’re tempted, please feel free to use the link below (or just click here), you pay the same price, but it sends a little love back our way so that I can unbox more cool things, and maybe even look and sound better! A word to the wise no matter how you get to their site, check the banner for this month’s money off deal when registering.
