When you think of quintessential 80s manga, one of the first that comes to mind is Fist of the North Star. From its ultra-violence, memorable quotes, and themes of love, the series is nothing but iconic. And the series is also no stranger to merchandise. While mainly figures, we've also seen video games, T-shirts, and some beautiful oil paintings, among many other items. But one of the newest, and potentially oddest, items is the Fist of the North Star kitchen knife by Sumikama.  Anime Knife -Fist of the North Star Edition (KS Exclusive ..read more

AutoPro X is powered by Android Auto/Samsung DeX (it only works with Samsung Galaxy models that support DeX) and offers Bluetooth pairing, so users can connect game controllers, keyboards and other devices to the screen. This isn’t necessarily the greatest of ideas, since it could end up being a distraction for the driver, but we’d hope for some common sense to be used here.  AutoPro X: Transform your Navigation screen into a Laptop ..read more

Never thought I’d see the day. I’m used to games that spend over a decade in Early Access staying there forever.

The game has spent twelve years cooking in Early Access, it’s apparently finally ready to see the light of day as a full release. I know, I’m just as surprised as you.  7 Days to Die - Zombie Survival Game ..read more

Like a lot of companies making smart tech, they also make vacuums.  eufy S1 Pro Floor Washing Robot Vacuum & All-in-One Station ..read more
