I bought my Nintendo Switch four years ago, played it stock for about a week, and then started accumulating accessories like the rest of us.

I’ve spent the last six weeks in my basement with a decibel meter, a tape measure, and 10 multi game tables spread across the concrete floor. My family ran games of pool at midnight, set up air hockey tournaments during my daughter’s birthday party, and even dragged a couple of these combo game tables outside … Read more

I tested 10 of the best Nintendo Switch cartridge cases over the past three months, dropping them, shaking them, and stuffing them into backpacks.

The Blackwell generation has matured, prices have stabilized from launch, and there is … Read more

I built my first Ryzen 5 7600X system two years ago and immediately ran into the same question everyone asks: which GPU should I pair with it? After testing dozens of builds for friends, family, and our team’s own workstations, I learned that the 7600X is a balanced mid-range CPU that gets unfairly blamed for … Read more
