Image
Finding a reliable and efficient web hosting service is often a big challenge. Amongst the many web hosting providers out there, GoogieHost has steadily gained recognition as a reliable provider when comparing the best free web hosting service providers on the market.  This review will discuss the performance, ease of use and pricing of Googiehost and to help you decide if it is the right web hosting provider for you.  Who is Googiehost? Googiehost only offers free hosting while doing affiliate sales for other hosts. (Image credit: Future) Established in 2012, Googiehost is considered a veteran in the web hosting industry. Headquartered in India, the company is also among a handful that offer a free web hosting plan. Even more bizarre is that, unlike similar companies, it doesn’t offer its own premium hosting; instead, it earns money by selling affiliate links to other web hosts. The site's ...

Saros may lack some of Returnal’s sting, but its madness-inducing journey is every bit as engrossing

Image
This past week or so, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Saros. Housemarque’s intense roguelite third-person shooter is a tremendous refinement of its previous work, Returnal (a game I feel is one of this console generation’s best). Yet its harrowing, cosmic horror-influenced narrative elevates it to something especially memorable. Review info Platform reviewed: PS5 Available on: PS5 Release date: April 30, 2026 If you’re familiar with Returnal, it probably doesn’t come as a surprise that Housemarque has once again deployed the Torment Nexus for Saros’s doomed spacefarers, and the concept of its protagonist being forced into a seemingly eternal cyclical hell is very much present here. That said, Saros is decidedly more manageable than its predecessor, featuring gameplay and progression systems that allow for a more forgiving experience overall. Don’t get me wrong, though; Saros is still ...

Rivals season 2 review: Jilly Cooper bonkbuster is still as steamy as ever — but troubling tensions take over in first three-episode release

Image
Dame Jilly Cooper may no longer be with us, but her legacy continues to speak for itself — and frankly, Rivals season 2 on Hulu and Disney+ is the perfect tribute to the bonkbusting chaos that's synonymous with her name. Picking up shortly after where we left off in season one, our Rutshire ensemble's collective horniness has turned somewhat sour. Cameron (Nafessa Williams) is lying low after being convinced she's killed her boss, Tony (David Tennant), after battering him with a TV award in self-defense. Lothario Rupert (Alex Hassell) has immediately jumped to Cameron's defense, which puts his on-off relationship with neighbor Taggie (Bella Maclean) back in the shade. Meanwhile, Lizzie (Katherine Parkinson) and Freddie (Danny Dyer) are desperately trying to hide their feelings for one another, while Sarah (Emily Atack) is trying to climb the ranks at Tony's Corinium TV stati...

I’ve been testing controllers for half a decade, and not a single budget option has impressed me like the 8BitDo Pro 3

Image
8BitDo Pro 3: One-minute review In the half-decade or so I’ve been testing gaming hardware, I’ve loved almost every 8BitDo product I’ve reviewed. The 8BitDo Pro 3 is no exception. In fact, I’d go so far as to say it’s the best budget-friendly controller on the market today. Yes, even beating out other desirable choices like the GameSir Nova Lite . Contrary to its appearance, the 8BitDo Pro 3 isn’t just the Pro 2 in a particularly slim-fitting trenchcoat. It looks identical to its predecessor, sure, but 8BitDo has refined the newer gamepad to what feels like its logical conclusion. TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance; essentially an improvement over Hall effect ) thumbsticks, swappable magnetic face buttons, micro switch trigger locks, charging dock, and two additional remappable buttons for a total of four are all additions here. Then there’s the d-pad, which, despite being a simpler cardinal design, i...

BenQ RD280UG review: A monitor that makes 3:2 displays cool again, and I love the built-in lighting

Image
I’m a nerd when it comes to monitors. And, a bougie, particular, and spoiled nerd at that. I have had the great honor of working with and owning some of the best-of-the-best for years now. For this monitor, I’ll be honest, I expected it to be a subpar tool that I'd try and love, only to realize I would rather go back to what I know and love. I thought it would be one of those things where I think “ok, on paper it’s good, but I’ll just give it a shot to see if it’s any good in person.” Well, it’s been 128 days since I put this monitor on one of my heavily used setups, and now I can’t imagine ever taking it off my desk. I spend 5+ days a week, around 45+ hours total, on-site at a larger church where I serve on staff. I sit or stand at my desk there for a good chunk of that time, pouring over whatever system I am working on at that given time. I’m pulling up documents, databases, programming too...
