Transcend Drivepro Body 20
If a picture paints a thousand words, then Full HD video at 30 FPS should paint 1,800,000 words per minute. In a world where criminal elements come in all shapes, forms, and attire, it wouldn’t hurt to have some video evidence to back your story up. Meant primarily for security and police personnel, the Transcend Drivepro Body 20 is a body camera that’s meant to be kept on your person, recording at all times, just in case.

Oh Boy: James Reid
Charisma may not be his middle name, but James Reid oozes charm enough to launch a thousand ships. The last statement maybe an exaggeration, but this Fil-Aussie is a crowd favorite and there’s no questioning it. He can dance, sing, act, and model; he ticks all the right boxes of what would propel one into stardom and he has rightfully assumed that place at the top.

OnePlus 5
While tech journalism certainly has its perks, I’d be lying if I said I expect it to make me rich. This being the case, it’s quite the balancing act trying to get flagship devices with a journalist’s paycheck. Once in a while though, a manufacturer will come up with an amazing value proposition for their device, making everyone rethink just how much a flagship has to cost. OnePlus is one such brand, and we have the OnePlus 5 to take a look at today. Here’s what we think.

Ford Ranger Wildtrak
I like big cars, but I’ve avoided driving pick-ups and large vans, considering them too difficult to maneuver, too heavy for long drives, and just too workman-like for me. Driving the Ford Ranger 2.2 Wildtrak 4x2 AT was a liberating experience, as I loved how the truck’s exterior brawn was perfectly complemented by its interior refinement.

There is always something students look forward to during class opening. It could be the smell of new stuff or the joy of seeing school friends after a two-month vacation. Having new stuff motivates students to get used to the routine of an early morning commute. And it helps to have something to keep your mind off the traffic or when queueing to get a ride. School has always been fun. Make it even more memorable with tools to help you muster months of crunching codes or churning out words in literature class.

Mordhau
Several years ago, I was very intrigued by a game called Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. It was one of a handful of successful mods that arose from the Half-life series. One of my biggest complaints is that combat was very clunky and the learning curve was extremely high (think trying to master rocket science in a high school physics class). Regardless, it was one of the first first-person multiplayer medieval combat games out there. Its awkwardness and steep learning curve didn’t keep my attention for too long.

While the Transformers franchise technically didn’t die down thanks to a string of Michael Bay movies and a never ending supply of action figures, they’ve not invaded another media space: video games.
