@lordkayoss Does Super Punch Out Boxing in 4k
Video – Watch Super Punch Out
Super Punch Out Video, @lordkayoss’s play-through by Nintendo from 1994.
Quick Take
First, I never had a chance to play Super Punch Out, so this is a game I’ve always wanted to play. Shout out to @lordkayoss for putting this video together, as I mentioned this game was on the bucket list per se, as I’ve always wanted to play the game… goal being playing another boxing game as successful as the original Mike Tyson’s Punch Out! I think Kayoss does a fantastic job presenting another epic play-through. @Zallard1’s blindfold runs are epic, making Super Punch Out boxing lore even more exciting. Kayoss guides us through the double circuit, with the first circuit serving as a warm-up or training round.
The second circuit features CPU AI that changes offensive and defensive strategies, unlike the first circuit. It’s great to see Super Punch Out back on the list of videos to watch.
I recommend checking out @lordKayoss’s play-through. Additionally, @Zallard1 showcases a blindfolded run of Nintendo Punch-Out!! Wii Boxing. Yes, blindfolded. Check that out.
Stay tuned I’ll cover @LordKayoss Super Castlevania IV play-through in the next few weeks. A quick shout out to Kayoss for the Super Punch Out coverage. Watch this video and more on

Husky Heavy Duty Inflator
Husky Brand Air Tools And More
Inflator and Tire Pressure Gauge
Tech And Tools – Air Compressor Inflator
The Husky Heavy Duty Digital Inflator. First, I am not very familiar with the Husky brand or line, but I picked this up at the store. The recent weather change triggered the TPMS notification requesting air.
This is not unusual, as following the summer months or just at the peak of winter, automotive tires require regular maintenance. As mentioned in our more recent posts – Kreg Measuring Tools, calipers, backlog post and gadget update, we’ve got some more air tool coverage coming your way. We’ll be picking up nailers and air wrenches next. This article will focus in on more air tools and the compressor we use around the shop. The same goes for trucks, farm and yard equipment. You can never go wrong with a tire gauge and an air inflation system. In any case, I wanted to give this a try over the next couple of months to see what kind of life we can get out of the Husky Tire Inflator.
Inflator and Compressor
Next, I bought this one specifically because of the digital gauge. Most others are manual or have tire pressure dial-style gauge. There is nothing wrong with those, just wanted to see if the money was worth spending for digital read out. As far as an inflator, the tool has all the power and air it needs. Here are the tool specifics:
- Multi-purpose, tire pressure gauge and inflation with variable PSI output
- Suitable for cars, trucks, ATVs, golf carts, and motorcycles
- Requires 2 AAA batteries (included)
- Temperature Range -20°F to 120°F
Anyhow, look for an update or two over the next few weeks. We are looking for longevity, wear and tear. Check back for more.
Highlights and Takeaways
Need some air? A TPMS alert? Are my tires under inflated due to a weather change, or something worse like a puncture or complete failure?

Steelrising Video
Let’s Play Steelrising
@FightinCowboy Souls-like RPG Video
Video – Steelrising Video, A Let’s Play
Steelrising Video is available now, @fightinCowboy play-through (Let’s Play), of Steelrising…
Quick Take
Grab a copy of Steelrising, Steelrising is an older Souls-like action RPG game (first released in September. 2022) by Nacon. A steampunk-souls-like game an epic robot fighter… This is a “buy” for me and also on the short “buy” list.
Like other souls-like games, be prepare for a slog, a challenging and epic experience. While some gamer pros (content creators) make it look easy, it is not.
I’m not sure how realistic an edited video, showing a few blockers here and there (the videos are edited down for compression, length etc.), so take that warning for what it is worth. I like the live or like live Let’s plays as for me I can gain a better understanding of the game and it is going to be extreme challenge.I’m also prepare for the impassable, and impossible at times seemingly impossible; but those obstacles will eventually be overcome. I anticipate that some farming time will be necessary, so it’s best to plan for that now. This preparation will make it easier when you find yourself relying on the internet for help. Let’s dive in! A big shout out to @fightinCowboy for both the walk-through and Let’s Play videos… these will surely come in handy soon.

Video – Watch Black Myth Wukong
Black Myth Wukong Video, @theRadBrad walk-Through.
Quick Take
Black Myth Wukong is a new action RPG by Game Science. At first glance, this is a fantastic game! I picked this up late December to have a go. Thanks to @theRadBrad, I was able to see multiple endings and whatnot. The level of game play, development, story etc. is all top tier. I would say, this game is everything; this game is off the charts. Secondly, the video quality of the content is superb. Honestly, I don’t keep up with upcoming games or what’s set to launch. That’s why I rely on content creators like Brad, Kayoss, and the NES Play-through folks who are experts at what they do and great to have around.
Next, I have no idea what’s to come in the gaming world, but if this game is just a small glimpse of what’s to come; graphics, story, voice acting, performance all working together. Above all, the realism is there, but with a good mix of Chinese lore. The lore here might be worth spending a little more time on for someone who wants more information. It’s like Warhammer in the fact that the backstory is worth poking around, exploring and watching other video where it makes sense.

Brown Widow Spiders
Introducing, The Latrodectus Geometricus
Spiders Of The Southern U.S.
Materials – Arachnids
Not the usual subject, Brown Widow Spiders, but an interesting one.
How many of you know what a Black Widow Spider is? The Latrodectus Hesperus – the Black Widow variety or true widows of the wild. And now, how many of you knew there was a widow more potent than the Black Widow? More importantly, the Brown Widow Spider aka Latrodectus Geometricus.
Never in a million years would I have thought I’d run into one of these widows, count it; now 4 separate encounters. Color may vary, but the one’s I’ve had the pleasure to meet have the classic, RED hourglass markings and two-tone – brown and black leg bans. Four of four have had egg sacks, so we are dealing with arachnids protecting their own. Again, not something I’ve run into often, actually ever. More so over this past year (2023/2024), I would say summer to late summer months.
Those of you who have Arachnophobia be aware; great movie by the way. Jeff Daniels, John Goodman, Julian Sands… more, however, I can’t remember off the top of my head (which is beside the point here). Pick up the Arachnophobia DVD, Prime Video or Blu-ray. I don’t BETA there for those Sony fans, sorry, another great piece of tech lost to history.
For those of you who want facts on the widow species, check out the following link, it’s a UF IFAS Extension page on “brown widow spiders”. Click for more details on the Brown Widow Spiders here in Florida.
Highlights and Takeaways
- Brown Widow, just as dangerous as it’s cousin, the Black Widow, along with three others – Souther, Northern and Red Widows.
- Most commonly found in SRQ, the Brown Widow variety
- Including South Florida, widows can be found in So. Cal, CO, Arkansas, MS, AL and GA.
- More importantly, invasive
- Venom, and Risk, while typically found in their dark corner (see picture), Brown Widow venom can be more potent than it’s cousin
- The Widows like their corners, builtin protected areas, eaves etc., boxes, shutters and pool cages!
Let’s get to prevention and control, as I said, four sightings in the latest months.
- Clean Up, often
- Outside, inside, vacuum webbing and all.
- Don’t forget to clean out the vacuum!
- Clean up debris piles, look for ‘shelter in plain sight or shelter in place’, a good hiding spot for Brown Widows
- Call a professional, pre/post clean up

Clean, clean and clean some more. High pressure washer, wet vac… create a cleaning routine and stick to it. Remove debris, seal up holes and cracks etc.
Be vigilant. Honestly, I had no idea, par for the course I guess. There are all kinds, to many to count sometimes, here in the southern swaths (maintained, cleared, or mowed parts) of Florida. Time to get a move on this cleaning. I’ll follow up with an update at some point, for now; I’ll leave you to it.

RE DLC Shadow Of Rose Video
Classic Resident Evil Horror Survival DLC
@Shikkaro RE DLC Shadow Of Rose Video
Lab Work – RE DLC Shadow Of Rose Video – Full Walkthrough
Embark on a horror venture, with the Resident Evil Shadow Of Rose, a classic RE expansion that will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the game.Hot Take
Tough game to pick up and roll with, Shadow of Rose is a great Resident Evil horror expansion. Historical play, skills and experience goes far (will carry the average player beyond the puzzle intricacies, resilience and boss difficulty) in this DLC. Shikkaro takes us deep into the hearts and minds of the Resident Evil series with the Shadows of Rose DLC. The Village at the time, won Game of the Year and sold more than 10 million copies/units (to date). Shadow of Rose, being a DLC, is not just a boring update. Play as the Ethan’s daughter (Rose) and conquer The Village DLC game.
Although the game is not new, it delivers a cold surreal terror within Rose’s world filled with twists, turns, evil bosses, soul reaper zombie types, the mold and jump scares. The nearly 4 hour DLC run will keep you on edge, as you run, jump, solve puzzles and navigate through the depths of the village underground. The expansion was made available in October 2022 and is playable on PC, PS4/PS5, and Xbox series console.
Even if you’re not a RE expert, the game stays true to the franchise’s roots and offers an epic storyline reminiscent of the early survival horror games. If you enjoy the game, survival first-person shooters or the video created by @shikkaro, show some love by subscribing or checking out at – https://shirrako-store.creator-spring.com -creator merch online.
Lastly, thank you for the coverage @shirrako! I loved the video, the game play, the full play-through without commentary or frame share.

Elden Ring DLC Review
More On Elden Ring DLC – Let’s discuss @theRadBrad & @FightnCowboy
Elden Ring – Shadow of the ErdTree DLC
Lab Work – Review – Elden Ring DLC – Shadow Of The ErdTree by @theRadBrad and @fightnCowboy
First of all, let’s kick off the Elden Ring DLC Video Review with compliments and kudos to @theRadBrad for the Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the ErdTree and @FightnCowboy for their DLC coverage, play-throughs and game play.
We appreciate the hours you both put into covering the game as content creators. Obviously, the skills needed to complete the main game and the DLC are something I don’t have (yet), but thanks to you both, it might be possible one day.
Secondly, the process of sharing content on YouTube for the masses is at an exceptional pace. Both of you have a tremendous number of followers, with videos and playlists going back many years. This article is a compliment to the two content creators, and a show of appreciation for their game play.
BorneSouls Experience
So, let’s stay topical, IMO (in my opinion), the best game to date. My gaming knowledge is somewhat superficial, so take it with a grain of salt. Let me set the stage: while working, most of the time, if not all the time. I’ve got YouTube running content on a tertiary monitor for this very reason. Again, I say it’s topical (superficial is a little harsh), but out of all the games I’ve purchased and played over the years, this seems to be the best all-around game. Now, the caveat, unfortunately, my limited experience with BorneSouls games places me in the novice to beginner category. That’s a timing thing. My time is focused on the business, complemented by such YouTube creators.
Content Consumption
It’s fair to say that I’ve watched most of @theRadBrads public content, mainly focusing on new releases and delving deeper into digging more into niche games and Final Fantasy type games. So, yes, it’s fair to say I’ve grown accustomed to the play-through cadence and tempo that Brad publishes. This cadence can certainly be influenced by his members. with shout-outs for likes and subscribes. Always go to see, content driven by members. Furthermore, I think that is where other creators can help or complement game play, walk-throughs, guides, etc. This is where @fightnCowboy comes in. Again, it’s about complementing the two content creators rather than comparing the them.
I’ve more recently added @fightnCowboy to the manual playlist, depending on work load. Right now, I’m cruising through The Last Faith play-through again. It’s great content for coding, writing and creating if you ask me. Honestly, my schedule is all over the place, so I could spend more time watching livestreams. On that same point, I gravitate towards the D&D games, RPGs and ‘beat ’em ups’. Lately, from a nostalgia perspective, the ‘beat ’em ups’ have been at the top of the play-through list. This includes the Elden Ring games, BorneSouls, ‘metroid-vania’ style games, Hellblade, Ghost, God Of War, Assassins’ (really too many to note here, but we will continue to cover such games and give insight where applicable).
Elden Ring Experience And DLC Next Steps
I’m currently stuck on Margit myself. I have a Samurai Build that is more focused on farming. Farming is where I spend most of my time these days. Margit keeps spoiling my progress, acting as a blocker for weeks. So, for now, I’ll stick to farming. At least until I do more research, watch more videos, and see more play-throughs that can help me get past Margit. I have to admit, I wouldn’t have made it this far without the play-through content; it’s essential. I just need to spend more time in the game chair to make progress. I’m determined to get there, even if it takes me all year.
It’s fair to say I’ve failed miserably at finding time to play and progressing through the game has been a bit more challenging. Limited time has meant limited play, so farming has become more of a focus these days as my character is still in the early stages. I have found a few farming areas with giants, common turtles, poison blobs, and more. So, I am spending the much needed time farming and upgrading my character (samurai). I definitely need to clean up a few giant farming sessions and spend time leveling up.
Moving onto the DLC, we can’t access it until we finish Elden Ring, main content). It might take me the rest of the year.
From a content perspective, I have been reviewing the gameplay and walk throughs, which is important as I am so far behind on the main content and just wrapping up the last phases of the Elden Ring DLC. This is by far my personal favorite game to watch, and I can’t wait to play it myself. It acts as a fantastic follow-up to the original game. Hats off to the creators and designers of this series, which hopefully continues like the other BorneSouls games. Dare I say, the DLC should be announced or voted as game of the year? Perhaps even more.
Lastly, I want to steer away from comparing the two content creators and instead five a shoutout to both @theRadBrad and @FightnCowboy. This article is intended to be a quick read, a followup to the DLC video, and a platform to share our thoughts on the DLC. It is also a recommendation, highlighting Elden Ring/Elden Ring DLC play-through. Ultimately, it is another reason why you should watch other content creators and gamer playlist.

The Kreg Measuring Tool – Measure, Mark; Multi-use metal, 3d printing, wood or carpentry.
Whether you’re at home, around the office, or in the shop. You’ll need something like the Kreg Measuring and Marking tool. One tool for measuring angles and mark up wood or metal. The Kreg Measuring Tool is a versatile and usful tool for finding angles. This tool is perfect for measuring right angles on-the-go, making layouts easily repeatable and ensuring accuracy while working int he field or on various projects. I personally own one now and I find it incredibly easy to use, handy for setting standard angles like 90 and 45 degrees, or manually adjusting the slide as needed. The Kreg is truly unbeatable in my opinion, for marking, designing, measuring and leveling in the field.

Parts are in, Dolphin Has Been Repaired, Cleaning Away
Let’s take a closer look at the process. Upon further inspection, I found corrosion around the motors. The seal around the power cord also appears to be in poor condition. So, I proceed with a teardown, replacing the power unit, and tread ball bearings to restore the robot back to full capacity with genuine OEM parts. A self-test was performed as need, I conducted a number of in-water and out-of-water tests which worked perfectly. As it should, under normal power. Next, I replaced all parts and picked up where we left off on the last article Nautilus Down (check that out if you missed it).Pre-Check, Install and Test
Check all cogs, ball bearings, drive pin, and wheel/hub parts. Make sure ball bearings are moving freely and free of rust or degradation. Replaced any parts showing degradation or major rust. Filled electronic parts and pressure seals with pool lube and reconnected parts, careful to screw-down fasteners and plastic nuts with appropriate tension. Dolphin On. Additionally, both out-of-water and in-the-water tests performed as expected. Time for a swim! Cinched down any screws, or screens, package up the robot and ran the clean cycle.

Brush Down and Toggle The Dolphin On
If you can’t tell, the pool has sand, debris and dragonflies. Before we toggle the Dolphin On, let’s do a quick brush down of the pool to encourage removal. You can kind of see here the pool was a bit dirty, as the hurricane kicked up enough debris for the Dolphin to clean. There was no pool cage carnage, or aluminum part failure, which is great. Minor screen damage only.
Maytronics Documents and More
Finally, following the test cycles, Dolphin on, put in the water and cleaned the pool well. In most cases, the vacuum actively cleans on stage 1, please the Maytronics manuals. Find Stage 1 testing and more robot testing features under the Nautilus CC Plus section. I hope this information helps, how to get your pool robot fixed and Dolphin On.

Looks like a new motor unit is required. Full teardown ahead.
Exciting news! A new series, Dolphin Down, is coming soon. This series is related to the repair of the Maytronics Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus. Currently, we are awaiting the arrival of a new motor unit. In the meantime, we are in the process of dismantling the Nautilus CC Plus robot in search of a malfunctioning drive motor.
The fan motor is functioning properly, passing both tests passed – underwater and out-of-water tests. The multimeter has confirmed that the drive motor is not working. The circuit board appears to be in good, working condition confirmed by the blinking green LEDs. The LEDs indicating that it is functioning as expected. This a positive sign for our robot and the repair diagnosis.

To begin the teardown process, find a safe spot and grab a multi-tool with pliers, flathead and cross bits (Phillips bits). Start by removing the power cord from the unit and unplugging the unit from the wall if necessary. First, on the Dolphin, unscrew the four screws under the filter doors to remove the top. Use the transparent or white flathead key or knob to pop open the propeller gate, which is easily accessible once the filter doors are open.
Next, slide the cord out from under the blue, body cover after removing the four main screws. Adjust the cord, remove the floats and be careful when removing the side panels. These panels should just pop off top down. Just be aware of the tabs on the bottom of the panels, this is what hold the body shells in place. Use the pliers to unscrew the blue cord connected to the power unit, as well as the four screws holding the two yellow cord strips to the unit. Unscrew the four unit screws holding the motor unit in place and it will be free.

Finally, check all cogs, drive belts, and wheel/hub parts. Ensure that the ball bearings are moving freely, unobstructed and are free of rust or degradation. Replace any parts that showing degradation, wear or significant rust. Fill with lubricant and reconnect parts, being careful to screw with appropriate tension. Test the robot out of water first, followed by half-submerged and fully submerged underwater tests. *Updated – Check out the repair – Dolphin On or the first post we commented on regarding the Maytronics Nautilus Dolphin for more information on troubleshooting, maintenance and repairs. More information will be provided in the next *5 business days, as we will be receiving the new motor unit packaging up the robot and running the cleaning cycle. Thank you.

The Last Faith Video Review
Let’s Discuss The Last Faith Video Review
@fightnCowboy Play-through The Last Faith
Lab Work – Review – The Last Faith content produced by @fightnCowboy
Another Metroid-Vania style Let’s Play by @fightinCowboy, an excellent play-though. We need more of these indie fighting games like this!
About The Last Faith
The Last Faith Video Review, is a new classic mashup with a ‘Metroid-vania’ backdrop and game treatment. Marching along, carrying on the modern Metroid-vania-style games. @fightCowboy is masterful in his play-through, the reason I’m buying the game and the reason I follow his content. The Last Faith was initially released in November 2023 on PS5/PS4, XBox, Nintendo, and PC. The game was developed by Steam by Kuni Souls Game and Playstack on the Unity Engine
This Souls-like, vampire-like fighting game is golden, a gem. First released on November 15, 2023, this game screams perfection, reminiscent of a cross between Souls, Castlevania, Elden Ring, and the Blasphemous series. It’s an absolute gem of a game. The game is a must-buy and is on my wish list, as I’m still working on Elden Ring while writing this article. Another Indie ‘Metroid-vania’ type game (I don’t mean another Indie game being bad in this case)… this is a great example of non-mainstram gaming at its finest.
PS5 Controllers (Modern)
I’m going to take a chance here and say that I probably lean towards Blasphemous and The Last Faith because they remind me of the Castlevania Series I grew up with. The controls are the main issue for me. I’m honestly struggling with the dual-stick, could be my age or the number of controllers I’ve had to memorize to this point. May be it’s the sensitivity of the thumb-sticks. To better describe it, it feels like playing Golden Eye, Counterstrike, or Halo… It’s like a drone remote, and it can be tricky at times. I just can’t seem to get the right motion for the camera and perspective stick. For example I just can’t find the right motion to play Elden Ring.
However, The Last Faith is next on my list of games to purchase despite the thumb-stick challenges. I’m sure there will be come new or difficulties with it as well, but since the game is presented in 2D, horizontal scroll view like Metroid-vania style , it reduces the level of stress and frustration compared to first or third personal views.
Game Play
Game play, characters, bosses, do more of it. The Gothic and vampiric amalgamation gives off a good vibe and the Unity engine seems to work well for this Indie title. I believe the Metroid-vania treatment attracts old-school gamers, while enhancing playability for thos in the younger generations who grew up on the action RPG genre. A shout out to @fightnCowboy for the play-through the quality and skill displayed are unmatched. This aligns with my enjoyment of the game, as I can immerse myself in the gameplay and envision myself playing along. This helps me learn the game, acquire skills, and apply when I’ve learned from the play-through. Thank you for your efforts.
Buy or No Buy and Follow @fightinCowboy
So, this is a buy and here is why. It’s a newer Castlevania type game, love the Simon and Dracula series from some 30 years ago, specifically 1994’s Super Castlevania IV, more on that soon as @lordKayoss has a play-through I have to post. I use a different scale, not a 0-100, but more NPS (Net Promoter Score), ‘how likely am I to pass, hold or buy a game in the next 6 months?’. “Pass” means is I’m likely not going to buy or review. “Hold” is that ‘meh’ or in-between status, where theROI (purchase to entertainment factor is off) is iffy. It’s not a no, but I may watch the game online or a play-through to understand the premise. Then there is the “Buy” category, and The Last Faith, is 100% a buy.
For comparison, or to communicate what is on my buy list there are three games in total. A few other games that have peaked my interest, creeping up on my buy list is Black Myth Wukong Video and the Elden Ring DLC (read the review, I plan on tackling Elden Ring more in the 4th quarter). Which was not out at the time of @figthncowboy play-through. So, here are my current “Buys”: The Last Faith, Black Myth and the new Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Official World Premiere Trailer – is by Ubisoft Quebec and Ubisoft slated for November 2024. More to come on all three titles.

Last Faith Game Play-Through
@fightinCowboy Conquers The Last Faith The Last Faith Video
Lab Work – PlayStack Limited – The Last Faith Coverage
The Last Faith Video, is a new classic mashup with a ‘metroid-vania’ backdrop and game treatment; more importantly carrying on the modern metroid-vania style games.
Hot Take
This might be one of those games that stick around, like Blasphemous, Blasphemous II, Metroid or Castlevania. I love this game, the feel, the Metroid-vania style, the back story, and the battles. It’s a ‘buy’ for me and is on my list to be purchased. With so many titles, games out there, from PC games to PS5, The Last Faith is the kind of game I want on my console when its time to get serious. Although MLB The Show, Elden Ring and NHL get most of the playing time. The Last Faith will be next in line, hence the ‘buy’ recommendation. I’m a big fan of these 2D world games, horizontal maps, etc., very nostalgic for my childhood. For what it is worth, these games have always landed on my buy list. We didn’t have many games, but the ones we had like Mega Man, Super Mario, and Castlevania, you get the picture.
If not, The Last Faith is another title to add to the list of buys, when you can or if you can. For some to these games I resort to the expert(s), like @FightinCowboy to fill in. The Last Faith, check out Cowboy’s coverage, the game playlist, his livestreams, and more @fightinCowboy’s playlists.

Grab Your Drones and Transmitters. We Are Racing
New FrSky Taranis Q X7S, Prop Blades, Batteries and Caps
Gear – Drone Accessories
Adding our at-home, indoor flight “program” (a little tongue-in-cheek), we have new accessories, transmitters and blades – let’s race!
With our Amazon order received, we have a mixed lot of parts and accessories. It’s time to break out the racing drones again, as we needed a few bits and parts to get them flying just right. A new transmitter, a second FrSky Taranis QX7S (Carbon Fiber) Remote for a second racing drone along with blades and batteries. The goal was to fix what needed fixing and get ready for racing.
And racing we shall! With side-by-side flight, using dual transmitters, we can race real-time, with similar nano drones for indoor racing games. I’ve added toggle caps/covers for those new to quad racing – these caps provide pilots and hobbyists with visual cues and help reinforce muscle memory for which toggles are active. This aids in remote usage and recognition during take off, flight, landing and crashes.
Lastly, we are in the process of turning over our battery collection, some of which are over 4 years old. A few have problems, but around 4 to 5 remain in good or optimal shape for flight. So, with a few extra batteries (8 in total, 2 packs of 4 batteries) we can enjoy 15 – 20 minutes of real racing time, assuming normal flight ranges and pilot skill.

For those of you interested in learning more about the drone hobby, or wanting to see more. I have one more resource for you: the Drone Racing League. The league flies all around the world, but more specifically the race in Germany. The league race took place at DHL Tower – Race 6 (EU), where drones are reaching speeds over 100mph and race skyward over skyscrapers, performing flips beyound your wildest imagination. The race features super high-end drones and professional pilots running quadcopter and competing for money! It’s crazy tech in action.
Other Drone Resources
If you’re new to quadcopter(s) and are wondering what to buy – drones, drone accessories etc., FPV (First Person View) flight, check out @Bardwells YouTube channel for all kinds of tips and fixes (my goto for FC and BetaFlight help). Most videos are extremely detailed, with the goal of getting you hooked! Shout out to Joshua, he’s a legend as his videos played a pivotal role in getting the EMAX drones bound to the original Taranis transmitter via BetaFlight. For parts, check out our shopping list, where I’ll post links to the quadcopter(s) (drones), parts, accessories and more.
We also have a number of articles on the subject matter; including the Emax TH2, drone repair, full-sized drone operation, video in flight and more. Feel free to preview those any time. Interested in a full sized video drone? Check out the DJI Phantom Pro series as well.
Although it’s been months since we posted anything related to the Taranis Q RC transmitters, more can be found here. Also, if you’re interested in more Emax lab work this two part Emax Series – Part 1 and Part 2 is a great place to start. In order would be best to explore this content, or if you want to jump to the conclusion click on Part 2 for the fix.
Before we sign off, we have to plug our own shopping list, the drone accessories will be posted on the site shortly.

Review Of The Show 23
Let’s discuss MLB The Show’s, Road To The Show
Lab Work – Review – MLB The Show 23
Grew up playing baseball, dreaming of the big leagues “bigs’. MLB The Show 23 Video Review starts with a similar dream sequence where your character dreams of being drafted and playing baseball professionally. Get drafted.
As a huge baseball fan at heart let’s talk about MLB The Show 23 first. The game has been out for a year now, with 24 being available for some time since it’s initial release in March 2024. From a demand perspective,MLB The Show 23 is currently discounted ($29.99). Don’t miss out on this great game for the price. You can also pick up MLB The Show 24 at its normal price ($69.99). Pricing may change, assume it will. This article was written as seasonal/quarterly pricing dropped. We will cover that game and the upgrades in the next month or two.
For us, there are a lot of pre-play modifications, design and character modifications, customization options, such as scanning your face for those who want their player to look like themselves virtually. Special character features are included in MLB The Show 23. We skipped around, and created one of the biggest virtual players (similar to an Aaron Judge type character),and jumped into the game. If it’s your first time playing The Show, keep it simple. You can always update and modify your character as you continue to improve their ball skills and perks. Those who want to modify their avatars can do so. As I mentioned, you’ll keep modifying your player throughout the game.
Character, check. Position, second base, check. Team, Houston Astros, check. Goals, make it to the Majors, an All Star Game, Home Run Derby if possible, and a Championship. Let’s play. Teams will come and go, but in hindsight. I wasn’t focused on one particular team, or a favorite team. So, Houston it is, starting out in their Double AA affiliate, the Corpus Christi Hooks. And onto the Triple AAA affiliate, the Sugar Land Space Cowboys, as a first baseman. I was having trouble with throwing mechanics, so it made sense why I was ultimately moved to Tampa, once I made it ‘To The Show’.
Keep it simple, second base, play as much as I can. Learn how to hit, different areas of the field, ‘stealing’ and general feel for the game. Don’t over look the game packs as I did. Build your players skills, talents, equipment list and play often. Another pointer, try and develop relationships with other players, when at bat, or batting, look around to see who is on base; look to drive in those players; effectively furthering the relationship with players on the diamond. Same can be said with hitting, learn the mechanics, pitches (pitch horizon, target zone and pitch types. We will keep this above all the hitting and pitching details. There is a lot there as I said above.
Ok, formal play, we play our way through the first season, limited missteps, but throwing remains a problem. Note, you can go back to the main screen and choose to play ‘old school’ baseball mechanics. This limits controller bindings, limiting buttons, pad and sticks/bumpers. Back to the game. We moved up to the Big Show in our second season, not for long… the move from Houston to Tampa came fairly quick as expected. What I didn’t expect was the move from Second to First Base. Perhaps I should’ve. So, first base it is, MLB team, Tampa Bay Rays.
So, this is where I spent a lot of my time building my characters skills, stats, perks, equipment and more. Give those in game challenges a go, fail fast. Packs are going to help your characters specials or influence player type. My player type is a home run ball hitter, going yard’, a Great Bambino type (*for you Sandlot Super Fans); a super contact hitter. Power comes later. Stealing is a bit dry here in the early game play. My player just doesn’t have the speed or the right timing. Get the practice in while you can, like my fielding, stealing is some what of a mystery (I stay away from later in the game).
We celebrate our first All Star games on both the AA and AAA affiliates, and get into a good pattern of limiting field errors and going yard (hitting home runs).
We Continue with In-Game challenges and Practice
Things I wish I knew to start: equipment packs, open those asap. You can earn packs by completing the in-game challenges, do so. Two, once an action has been selected, (meaning the choice was made to play a game vs sim a game)… actively participate in in-game skills challenges. If you don’t know what you’re doing, before hopping into the game, take some practice time.
Practice time, helps with all around skills, remote control stuff (how to hold it, familiarize yourself with the controls, what does what etc.). You’ve really got 4 to 5 seasons to move onto another team, play often and try to hit home runs.
Moving on, so, 4 years with the Rays, following the 2 first year seasons. I will maintain a lookout for other teams interest, to see if we can create a super team. For now, Tampa is the team. Also, the team where we go on to win the first of three World Series Titles.
Two More Titles
Two titles won with Tampa, separate seasons, the second coming late in the middle third of my career ~88 – 90 range of experience points. Riding out the first WS and the rookie contract, no takers, we whined up with the Durham Bulls in the off season following contract arbitration. Missing out on a max deal, and not knowing how the game ‘functions’ just yet.. meaning expected outcomes vs moves that might take you in the direction you want to go with your career.
Missed Max Deal, Picked up by the Astros, Durham Bulls.
This is the time, where game play, or playing (playing each game vs simulating a game, month or season) makes more sense. The cutscenes will keep you in line with game expectations and outcomes, if you so choose to pay attention to those scenes. Our first Home Run Derby was a flop, while the All Star game was a mild success. Not my best game, but sticking to the 3 for 4, multi-home run achievement per game. A divisional MVP and a Second World Series. See images below here. I’ll post some of my next stint in a future post.. as I’m trying to keep this surface level content.

Let’s Wrap Up, Onto a 4th WS Title
The jump off point, late in my career, I want to win, best options are not on the table… so, spring ball is where I go. Missing out on a third max contract. Unfortunately, of the teams offering contracts – Brewers, Cardinals, Reds and Padres; I was not interested. Like before, we ended up choosing our next team, which came in the form of a pin-stripe uniform. The Yankees, love ’em or hate ’em, I was playing first base, max contract for 2 years, late in my career. Now at that 90-92 experience score level. Almost playing every game in the season, so, time will tell where the season ends.

Quick ending here, we wrap up with our agent/player discussion, and what’s next for the veteran. Ultimately choosing to move on, the article closes with the ‘pursuit’ of a fourth go around; a 4th World Series. I missed out on a second in Houston, but that’s fine. I’ll come back to the game in the next few months as a new player, maybe a lefty pitcher; a Dennis Eckersley or Randy Johnson type – super tall, lanky, sub-ball thrower, throwing heat. So, I’ll leave you with this – keep it simple, max out your player, play often, sim less if you can. Win those card packs, before you choose which item to select, use triangle to preview value. You can always dump players, doubles or discard traits you don’t want onto the online marketplace. Yes, you can sell cards too. Finally, increase your power, contact, speed and equipment.

Tech And Tools – Uncover new tools, cutters, sharpeners and bench grinders
Discover new hand tools like the Klein Tool flush cutters, Speedy Sharp burr tool, Smith’s and Benchmade sharpeners. For those big jobs, consider the Wen Bench Grinder. Need to cut something quickly and confidently?
Utilize the Klein Tool Diagonal Cutting Pliers. If you have dull knives and carving tools, shop our favorite tools, measuring tools – Kreg mark and measure, calipers and learn more about the Benchmade and Smith Manual Field Sharpeners. For tough outdoor steel, rely on the Wen grinder.
Flush Cutters and Speedy Sharp
Klein Flush Cutters
Speedy Sharp
Hopping into the more refined tools that are essential to have in the shop, those that aid in working more efficiently. Let’s begin with the Klein Tools flush cut pliers, perfect for cutting without leaving any rough edges. Say goodbye to dull carving tools or chisels. Get your hands on a variety of manual sharpeners, progressing from the Benchmade Field Sharpener, to the Speedy Sharp to remove and define that burr.
While you’re out in the field the guided Smith’s pocket sharpener is ideal for hooks and quick edge work. Additionally, for tools that require fine sharpening and extra power when steel is necessary for outdoor tasks such as cutting grass, wood chisels, hand tools and scissors that need some special attention, the Wen Bench Grinder.
Generally speaking, the official name for flush cutters is diagonal cutting pliers with precision, or wire ‘snips’ in layman’s terms! Previous posts have covered deburring tools, like the AFA Deburring set or the Klein Tools screwdrivers. While those tools have been discussed in previous posts, today we are focusing on flush cutters. Surprisingly, flush cutters are used daily in the shop, garage and yard. I use these cutters all the time, with an easy-to-use ‘squeeze’ and firm handle setup, sometimes spending hours cleaning up prints or cutting zip-ties. It’s helpful to have a comfortable set of cutters around the office.
Additionally, flush cutters, as implied by the name, leave zip ties and copper wires clean and snag-free. Maintenance is easy – simply spray lubricant on them every so often, towel dry, and then run them through a sharpener for clean, flush cuts as intended. All you #makers out there, make sure to have a sharp pair of cutting pliers (snips) for any delicate wire work or clean-up effort.Cut A New Edge, Forming An Edge (Burr)
Moving on, those of you who use hand tools such as carving knives, whittling knives or field knives, it is important to keep a proper edge on them. Who can forget about the Speedy Sharp sharpeners? When a new edge is needed, turn to Speedy Sharp for a quick repair or to fix a damaged blade or broken edge. Simply run the diamond cutter across the damaged area quickly to create a new, fresh edge that is perfect for our next step. Hone and clean up the edges with the Smith’s pocket sharpener, which allows for coarse to fine edge work. By doing so, we are one step closer to achieving a fine edge.

Introducing the Benchmade Field Sharpener designed specifically for knives and other hand tools such as scissors or fishing lures. This compact field sharpener is perfect for fine-turning edges while out in the field, creating a precise 20-degree edge angle for most pocket knives and carving tools. Finish off your sharpening process with the ceramic edge for an incredibly sharp finish, and use the strop on the other end for a polished touch. This handy field sharpener is a must-have for any workshop Stay tuned for our upcoming article on sharpening stones, going up-to 8000 grit!
Tool Variety, Applications and Wen Bench Grinder
Let’s dive into the world of cutters, sharpeners, and bench grinders as we wrap up with the Wen Bench Grinder. Do you have an old worn out scythe, pruners, axes or tree trimming knives? Are you a farmer in the field who needs a high-quality bench grinder to fix your field tools? Whether you need to fix warped edges or hone those stubborn cutting edges on old, tough tool steel the Wen Bench Grinder is the perfect choice.
All-In-One Bench Grinder

You can’t go wrong with the wheel options, which include both an 80/36 grit wheel option, a light and guards/rest so that a sharpened edge may emerge. Perfect for bigger jobs, providing power when you need it.

Elden Ring Review
Let’s Catch Up, The Elden Ring Review
We Discuss @theRadBrad Conquer Elden Ring
Lab Work – Review – Elden Ring content produced by @theRadBrad
FromSoftware is setting a standard and pace for the gaming market with the Elden Ring. In this we cover the video and more. Hidetaka Miyazaki has truly outdone himself and we applaud him for it. I recently discovered the SoulsBorne series on YT. For the definition, check out How-To Geek. Thanks to several YouTube creators, Elden Ring is considered the best game of all time. This game truly takes the cake, and may reason for purchasing it.
First, @theRadBrad takes us on an epic journey, through an open-world concept, where we fight and farm along the way. There are very few games that I would rank above this one. Brad makes a game look easy, emphasizing the importance of farming and leveling up during offline time.
Top 5 Games Various Consoles
Next, let’s briefly discuss the best game ever! Elden Ring. It definitely deserves a spot on the list for PS5 console, ranking in the top 2 at least. As a big fan of this game, I must say it is truly epic and out of this world. With over 30 years of experience in gaming, watching, playing, and reading, I can confidently say a lot for the Bandai team. My only hope is that the team continues to expand the Elden Ring series like the Souls and Borne titles, which are revolutionary in there own or on there own.
Games At The Top, Topping Such a list as greatest game ever
Let’s continue on, treating this Elden Ring Review journey more as a comparative activity. Starting with console games, a few titles that stand out in my opinion are Tony Hawk on PS2, F-Zero, Golden Eye, Mario Kart, the Final Fantasy Series, Rad Racer, D&D, and Zelda. The list goes on, but I digress.
Let’s also consider some Arcade game titles such as TMNT, Simpsons, XMEN, NBA Jam, Golden Tee PGA TOUR, Street Fighter Tournament, D&D, Jurassic Park, and Galaga (I’m terrible at it, @DKOG73 does it right). Additionally, classic pinball games like Indiana Jones Pinball from 1993 by Williams, most SNES games and table tennis (Ping Pong) are worth mentioning. I have just started playing the game myself, and it’s on my list of things to do in my downtime, so stay tuned for additional commentary.
Let’s continue the Elden Ring Review, in my opinion, as a viewer, Elden Ring tops the charts. Elden Ring is definitely at the peak across the board. I’m not a hardcore gamer, but I follow games closely, both new and vintage. I wanted to share my thoughts on one of the top two games of all times. Elden Ring is top tier, especially in today’s market, 1. it excels in epic graphics, 2. fluidity of in game fighting 3. play and combat, narration and voice talent (check) and 4. game difficulty.
After playing for under 20 hours at home, I haven’t even come close to 1% completion. Shoutout to @theRadBrad who makes this SoulsBorne like EldenRing game look easy; it’s not. I’ve learned that the hard way, farming is key to success, similar to D&D where XP and complementary skills are crucial. It’s been a while, more than 6 months since I’ve played D&D. Maybe it’s time to start up a solo, old school D&D game again.
Moving on, the dialogue and voice talent in Elden Ring are superb, with minimal player hiccups and NPC interaction. Frame-to-frame degradation is minimal, and game performance on the console appears flawless (except for some degradation around the ErdTree, but were not here to stare at the tree). Overall, from a viewer’s perspective, very few issues are noticeable.
Now that the DLC is out, check out the DLC video and DLC review. Thanks for all the support on this series, same for the Last Faith video and Last Faith Review out now. Just keep up all the likes, views and support. I’ll keep adding new games to the backlog.
Lastly, Honestly, this is something you need to check out for yourself. Here is where Brad does a great job with transitions and pace seemingly not allowing those ill-fated pitfalls to undermine the play-through. In conclusion, IMO (in my opinion), this is the most epic game ever, but take that with a grain of salt. We all come from various backgrounds, gaming styles, etc., so we can all appreciate the work Bandai and company put into this title. Compliments to the gamer here, Brad’s tempo and production cadence is a huge plus, providing easy-to-consume Elden Ring content. Finally, the game is truly a masterpiece, and Brad’s easy listening narration style, which complements the work load.

Thank you to @theRadBrad for the Elden Ring Video. This is super helpful for those like myself who are struggling with the game difficulty.
Quick Take
See my full review, sneak peek into the World Of Elden Ring – Elden Ring Review. I can’t express more thanks and appreciation for the online coverage and play-through content @theRadBrad and @fightinCowboy, for the hours you both put into covering the game as content creators.
Quick excerpt: “Let’s continue the Elden Ring Review, in my opinion, as a viewer, Elden Ring tops the charts. Elden Ring is definitely at the peak across the board.

Finally, skills are needed. The skills needed to complete the main game is a very high bar. Same for the DLC, both are tremendous dose of skill of which I don’t have (yet).
