MMORPG.com: Marvel's Avengers Review
Marvel's Avengers is in a unique predicament. Crystal Dynamics, the developer behind the game, faces Infinity War level odds at delivering a premiere, iconic experience, that resonates with fans, and engages gamers, with an intellectual property that is widely beloved, harshly judged, and ever changing. Fans can be a game's greatest champions, or their harshest critics, but as this review will attest, sometimes a fan can be both.

LanOC Reviews: Philips Fidelio X3
Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to test out an extremely wide range of headphones and headsets. In that time I have refined exactly what I like in a headset and none of the headsets I have had come in checked the main few bells for me. I love full-sized headphones and headsets, I have a big head and love when the cup isn’t pushing or touching my ears. For the headband, I prefer a suspension design. I love velour padding, this is one of those options that almost none of the normal designs have other than the old Sennheiser’s and recently Steel Series offered them as an upgrade. Then of course I want solid audio quality and an open design if possible to keep from getting to hot. Well, Philips sent a note over about their successor to the Fidelio X2 which not surprisingly is named the Fidelio X3 and they have the velour ear cups, suspension headband, and a large open-air design. But do they also sound good? I’ve been using them for the last few weeks and with them coming out this month I wanted to take a closer look at them and check out their performance.

APH Networks: Gigabyte AORUS K1 Review
As you may or may not know, a few of my friends and I have been meeting up on Sundays to eat lunch after our online church service just to catch up with each other while also chatting about random topics. A few weeks back, we somehow got on the topic of hoarding. One of my friends mentioned his friend had a basement that was filled with items hoarded, but it had to be cleaned out after some flooding occurred. We joked about how we could flood basements to get rid of hoarded items. At this point, you probably would think the easiest way to flood a basement is to either clog something to stop water from draining normally or attach a hose to spray water inside. However, my friend suggested that he would "come over at night with a pack of 24 500mL water bottles" to start pouring out the water and flood the basement. We all stared at him in disbelief, but everyone soon followed it with laughter, including the friend who said this. The idea of someone wanting to flood a location, yet showing up with water bottles to make his catastrophe happen is one I find amusing. It either shows how civilized we are as people or how inexperienced we are as law-breakers. Flooding things is not exactly what we normally talk about in our daily conversation or here at APH Networks, but this was the first thought when Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Kwan received our shipment box today. Obviously, what matter is the contents of the box, which is the Gigabyte AORUS K1 mechanical keyboard. How will this keyboard perform, and will we be flooding this product with praise? Hopefully, the only water we see today are the tears of joy when using the AORUS K1, so let us read on to find out!
