It’s been 23 years since Baldur’s Gate 2 came out and last week’s release of Baldur’s Gate 3 showcases how much gamers love story-driven team-based games and how more developers need to follow in the footprints of Larian Studios. I picked up Baldur’s Gate 3 last week and instantly began a Discord call with a group of four. Before the game could even start, the commentary and banter was a fun moment. Once we got playing, the laughing ensued and will likely continue for hours after hours of upcoming gameplay. As online gaming continues to explode in popularity, thousands of…
When Twitch.tv introduced the 24/7 Bob Ross painting stream, I instantly fell in love. Bob’s joy in the show, the magnificent paintings, and “beating the devil out of the brushes” made something so simple, so enjoyable. If Bob were still alive, I believe he would enjoy knowing that his joy and passion were still being watched by hundreds of thousands of people every single day. A close friend of mine is an enthusiastic painter with a passion for fantasy ideas. His creations and inspiration put into each painting are remarkable, and creating “something” out of “nothing” gives the painting life.…
I drive an Audi S4 daily, which I’ve come to enjoy and cherish. The luxurious interior with the stylish exterior set it apart from other cars and brands. However, with my day job being in the downtown city, I often get worried about where I park the car. Increased break-ins, theft, and property damage make it so I only feel reasonably safe when the vehicle is parked in a parking garage. And even still, things can happen. With electric cars rising, one of their strong selling points is integrated technology. Tesla’s Sentry Mode is a one-of-a-kind tool that allows the…
It’s no surprise that I am a personal fan of BlackVue and their car dashcams. From their familiar black tubular design to the well structured mobile app, BlackVue offers an insurance-like product that protects you when you need it most. Living in Southeastern Wisconsin, we’ve seen an increase in car thefts and break-ins lately, especially around the downtown area. These “Kia Boys” have no respect for you or your personal property, but these break-ins are often happening while people are away from their car. A car’s battery isn’t designed to sustain accessory equipment running for continuous use after the driver…
In the United States, according to the CDC, 430 people die to accidental Carbon Monoxide poisoning every year and a staggering 50,000 people are hospitalized each year due to exposure. It’s important to be prepared regardless if you live in a house or an apartment structure with a professional fire alarm. CO2 can and is deadly if not properly detected. Don’t let an invisible and (sometimes) scentless gas harm you and your family. X-Sense is here to showcase their new XC04-WX WiFi Carbon Monoxide detector and how it can make a positive difference in a critical situation. Don’t trust that…
There are plenty of times when a homeowner, home mechanic, or general handy-man needs to source a welder. Whether it’s to fix a broken metal plate or to help join two materials together, welding at home is often a rarity and some resort to asking their Facebook friends if anyone knows a professional welder. With the vase marketplace of Amazon, owning your own personal welder is now something easily accessible and something that anyone could quickly learn at home. Today, Vevor is showcasing their new MIG Welder with 200 amps. This big blue box is capable of three different welding…
In an uncertain economic time, a lot of people are looking at ways to save money and some even are looking at second sources of income. A common and easy way to create a side hustle is to get involved with using your own skill set right at home that others may lack. Perhaps you have a crafty mind and want to make jewelry to sell or create stylized clothing designs. Websites such as Etsy are a great place to get started on selling personalized goods at a decent price and create that welcomed second source of income. Vevor, a…
Ever want to see where everything disappears to after flushing a toilet? Me neither, but there are many professions that need to investigate such pipes and locations. Clogged, damaged, and collapsed pipes inside a home or office can be devastating to fix. Given that pipes are often underground, knowing the cause of damage to them can be vital is a successful repair. Pool pluming, gutters, water lines, and even toilet sewer drains are all common failure points at some point in time and we often have to give people a call to take a look to fix these sorts of…
