Delivered! Time Loot Crate October 2015 October 2015’s Loot Crate’s theme is Time. I was so excited to see this theme. Loot Crate claimed that this is 100% exclusive.

Coin is Finally Here! It’s Time To Shop. Way back in Nov 2013, I saw a video that blew my mind. The concept was to thin out the wallet by combining multiple cards in to a single electronic card that can switch on the fly. Their concept video was very convincing, so I decided to spring on a pre-order. Unfortunately, I wasn’t early enough to secure a beta spot. When Apple announced ApplePay for their new iPhones, many people cancelled their Coin orders. I think some of the employees had quit because they though this would destroy them. I was…

Karma Go WiFi Hotspot Field Test and Review I posted an initial overview of the Karma Go on my own blog http://www.benedictcorpuz.com/karma-go-wifi-hotspot-is-here/ I got my original Karma device to augment the data plans on my multiple mobile devices. Since a certain carrier likes to throttle my data speeds once I get to a certain threshold, I needed something that helped me stay up to speed. I pre-ordered the Karma Go Wifi Hotspot as soon as it was made available. On the day I received my Karma Go, I had to put some miles on my car to reset a computer…

San Diego Comic Con 2015 San Diego Comic Con ended a week ago and is still fresh in my mind. My Comic Con experience this year was very exhausting and I think I am still recovering. Don’t get me wrong, it’s the good type of being exhausted; the kind that you feel at the end of a fun vacation. I’ve been going to SDCC for the past decade or so since it was introduced to me by my brother. It was great at first, but years later almost became more of the same. I witnessed Hollywood’s infiltration. They started putting…

Most are flatter while this one was taller and wider. Video Unboxing! Let’s check out what’s inside. Check out my video unboxing (now in 1080p at 60fps)! What’s inside the…

Nintendo Amiibo figures have been gaining in popularity since they were announced in May 2014. These highly detailed figures are part of a new category of toys called ‘Toys to Life.’ Skylanders was first followed by Disney Infinity. Nintendo actually had no idea how popular their figures would become. Wave 1 Nintendo Amiibo The first wave was pretty easy for me to get on release day on November 21st, 2014. I casually walked into Target and asked about them since I was already in there buying Super Smash Bros. for my Wii U. They didn’t even put the figures out.…
