I love furniture reviews because they give me an excuse to post my cats. But you probably want an actual review too, huh. I was recently provided with the Respawn-900 "Gaming Recliner" for testing, and man with this massive time sink of a D...

As I sing a ballad of triumph and hopefulness for the Nintendo Switch, so I must swap to a somber song of death for the PlayStation Vita. As per the official website, the last two Vita models are dead. I remember walking to my local Ga...
