Last year, our LEGO gift guide for Holiday 2020 was heavily focused on kids LEGO franchises like Ninjago, Toy Story, and more. This year, LEGO rolled out a new seeding program for reviewers here in Canada, and while it might have meant less sets to review in total, it did mean we could make more extravagant requests, which we most definitely did.

We've reviewed a ton of sets in 2021 thanks to our good friends at the LEGO Group, and when I originally reached out to pick up our last review item of 2021, I decided to go in a totally new direction - LEGO Technic. I've reviewed City sets, Ninjago sets, Ideas sets, and more. But I've never purchased a Technic set, let alone reviewed one. So our good friends were able to send the LEGO Off-Road Buggy for review. While only featuring roughly 375 pieces, it was easily the toughest build of 2021.

Google Pixel phones for many years was seen as the premier device for snapping photos and taking videos, but over the years, the competition has understandably caught up to Google, who perhaps was a bit complacent over the past few years. It seems like that is about to change with the Google Pixel 6.

With the Google Pixel 6 launching today, it seems that Google is going to win you over to their brand new, high end flagship phone by promising you security features unheard of on other platforms, and some new features coming to the Pixel 6 before other phones.

Today, Google unveiled the Google Pixel 6 and the Google Pixel 6 pro to the world, taking a bold new approach to their flagship phone and aligning it with other top-tier priced phones as opposed to aiming for that mid tier market. Whether they can penetrate the high-end market will have to be seen, but what they showed off is truly outstanding, and we cannot wait to try it out ourselves.

Silly Lord of the Rings pun aside in the title, I went in with a bit of skepticism when folks began talking about their review units of this product, saying things like, "It's the only headset you will need" and "It says hybrid for a reason." Really, one headset to replace all others in my collection? Get out of here. Granted, I started a bit late on this review for the H3 - a solid week after it arrived was finally when I had time to unbox this thing, but I was not disappointed.

Next month, Nintendo is releasing another console: the Nintendo Switch OLED. Someone has gotten their hands on the system and did an unboxing video. Check it out below. The Nintendo Switch OLED releases on October 8, 2021 and will cost $349.99 (USD). The system will be just as powerful as the regular Switch but has a bigger screen in handheld mode. The resolution is higher on the screen too. The model is a greyish white compared to the standard consoles…
