I don’t know about you, but for me, slippers are all-but-essential for me, for most of the year. I just always managed to have cold feet. It used to always be moccasin-style ones, but I’d either wear them out, or they’d get a bit odorous. The longest-lasting pair I’ve had now are (don’t laugh) lined crocs, but these new HiLounge slippers look pretty interesting.
(more…)Well, at least, when it’s actually ok and safe for you to take your game on the road. I seem to be featuring a number of TTRPG accessories as of late, and I blame it on the resurgence of the popularity of it as a game genre, as well as playing it with friends at work (virtually, these days). One of the latest to cross my crystal orb is the Dungeon Box Pocket.
(more…)It was back at the end of 2018 when I went hands-on with the slimmest “puffy” jacket I had ever tried (which you can see here), which was my introduction to the great stuff Outdoor Vitals was producing. Just recently, they started up a campaign for a new garment perfect for when we can resume outdoor adventures – the Outdoor Vitals Satu Pants.
(more…)It seemed, a few years back, brain-training apps were all the craze. And sure, anything that gets you exercising those neurons has got to be better than nothing. And while regular physical exercise does have a positive impact on your mental well-being, what if you want to actually try to train your brain? That’s where Mendi comes in.
(more…)Tritium is one of those materials that you may not be aware of, but once you realize that it exists, well, you’ll wonder how you ever got by without it. I mean, sure, you can can do without it, but if you like glowy stuff, you should know about it. One color I’ve not seen before is pink, and now TritiGlow has that on offer.
(more…)Hey, so, do you remember that review we did a bit back on the Ekster wallet? One of the key things (aside from the push-button deployment of the cards) was their tracker device. Well, they’ve got that shrunk down into an organizer for your keys, in the form of the Ekster Key Holder.
(more…)In and amongst this pandemic lockdown, folks have no doubt been keeping an eye on many of their grocery store staples, including those that fall into the category of “adult beverages”. Heck, even John was doing some distilling in a recent Zoom meetup we did with readers. So, why not turn that into a board game? That’s what you’ve got in Moonshine Empire.
(more…)Back when I first started into the world of tabletop roleplaying games, it felt like my dice choices were limited. I had some handed down from my cousin, and eventually it was picking up some basic colors from the local shop. Well, now, there is an amazing array of makers out there creating lovely custom stuff. One of ones that caught my eye recently is the Keyfish Crit by Green Leaf Geek.
(more…)Perhaps not in the way you may think, but what if you could travel the world – all from the comfort of your own dining room table? That’s what the Kickstarter for Trekking the World is all about.
(more…)And now, as Monty Python used to say, it’s time for something completely different. At some point in your life, you’ve probably played with a marble run. Perhaps it was the Nintendo game, or those simple wooden blocks. Or maybe even some plastic tower contraption (which is what my kids have in the basement). Well, something that you can stick onto a metal surface elevates things – and that’s what the MakeWay is offering.
