Killing Conor McGregor – Hitman
There’s a title I never thought I’d write! I’m weirdly a bit of a fan of Conor McGregor. I can totally see how folk would not like him.

Hardware Review: Fifine K688
It’s been a little while since my first Fifine microphone review, and I’m really happy to have been asked to look at a more premium model now with the K688. Designed to be more for the podcaster/content creator market, than it is for the gamer on team comms. The K688 more premium, but somehow still […]
