Highguard is fine when you don't have an internet in your ear telling you it's nasty
Secretlab just launched preorders for its highly anticipated lineup of Pokémon gaming chairs and, not surprisingly, they're selling out quickly. These themed Titan Evo chairs - decked out in your choice of Gengar, Eevee, and Pikachu regalia - have all pretty much sold out of their first wave of preorders and have moved onto their second or third waves. I have no clue how many "waves" there will be for this initial batch, but if you want your chair to arrive within the first half of 2026, you should probably put in your preorder as soon as you can.
These chairs showcase one of three iconic Pokémon - Gengar, Pikachu, and Eevee - with ostentatious use of color, patterns, and figures. My personal favorite is the Eevee edition, with its detailed embossing of Eevee's myriad evolutions; it also seems to be the top seller, since it's already on its third wave of preorders. You do pay a premium for the branding. The Titan Evo normally sells for $599, but the Pokemon models add on an $85 surcharge. Honestly though, if you're a Pokémon superfan, it's totally worth it considering the fact that this is a high quality officially licensed product.
Unusual for a collab, Secretlab opted to go with its Softweave Plus fabric instead of leatherette, and I for one am happy with that decision. Fabric ages more gracefully, feels softer, and doesn't stick to your sweaty skin on hot days. Titan Evo features a solid steel frame with aluminum wheelbase, firm and supportive cold-cure foam for the seat base, four-way adjustable lumbar system, full length backrest with 165 degrees of recline, full metal 4D armrests with magnetically attached PU cushions, and a memory foam headrest pillow.
It's no secret that we love our Secretlab gaming chairs. Three of the eight chairs in our best gaming chair roundup are Secretlab models. Of all the gaming chairs we covered in our "Budget to Best" roundup video earlier, my colleague Akeem Lawanson considered the Titan Evo to be the most comfortable. No good chair comes cheap and Secretlab chairs definitely cost a premium, but we think the craftsmanship, materials, and customizability are worth it.
In our Secretlab Titan Evo review, Chris Coke wrote that "after two years of daily use, the Secretlab Titan Evo has proven that it can stand the test of time and still be one of the best gaming chairs you can buy. Meaningful ergonomics paired with Secretlab’s wide selection of designs, it remains a fantastic option, especially for fans of bright colors or designs."
Secretlab's recently released recliner add-on is a quality of life upgrade. It installs easily onto the Titan Evo chair without any tools required, offers 80 degrees of adjustability, and is filled with cushy memory foam. If you recline often in your chair, you'll finally be able to kick your legs up without the need to buy a separate stool. In our recliner review, Chris Coke wrote that "while both comfort and value are subjective things, the recliner is able to take the Titan Evo and transform it from one of the best racing style gaming chairs to standing head and shoulders above the competition at its price point."

Samsung's S84F TV features all of the advantages of OLED technology that make it the best TV for gaming minus the exorbitant price tag. For this week only, Best Buy is offering a 65" Samsung S84F 4K OLED Smart TV for just $899.99 with free delivery. This matches Best Buy's Black Friday deal and is overall an excellent price for a current generation OLED TV.
The Samsung S84F was released in 2025 and is still the latest S80 series model. It's identical to the S85F but exclusively sold at Best Buy. Its successor the S85H was announced during this year's CES won't be available until later in the spring. This TV is equipped with a true W-OLED panel similar to the ones found on the LG B5 and Sony Bravia 8 models. OLED TVs boast superior image quality compared to any non-OLED thanks to their near-infinite contrast ratio, near-instantaneous response time, and ability to produce true blacks. They absolutely excel at handling 4K HDR content.
The Samsung S84F has the features you want in a current-gen gaming TV, like HDMI 2.1 ports and a native 120Hz panel for running 4K at 120fps on a PS5 or Xbox Series, variable refresh rate and auto low latency mode. It's also a good TV for running the Nintendo Switch 2 in docked mode, although the Switch 2 can only run games at up to 60fps in 4K.
This is the lowest price I can find for a brand new and fully warrantied 65" OLED TV, especially if you want to stick with a tried and true brand like Samsung. Best Buy is a good place to buy your TV from because it's easier to return if you have any problems (a 65" TV can still fit in a reasonably sized SUV).

The first season of Fallout was a binge release where all the episodes dropped on the same day, whereas Season 2 has been a weekly rollout, “which makes viewership comparisons tricky.”
Fallout: Season 2 has thus far been receiving largely positive reviews from IGN’s Matt Purslow, although he was most critical of last week’s Episode 6 (“The Other Player”), which he nevertheless still gave a score of 7 (or “good” on the IGN review scale), writing:
“Fallout twists its big Season 1 finale by revealing that there’s an entirely different hand steering the apocalypse, finally bringing The Enclave into the picture. Back to back with last week’s Mr. House confrontation, this recent set of flashbacks are easily the best of the show so far.
But things are more uneven out in the wasteland: while Lucy’s morals and her relationship with Hank are tested in interesting, complicated ways, our first encounter with a super mutant is disappointing, as is Fallout’s refusal to make the Vault storylines feel a truly essential part of the entire stage.”

It’s been a long winter for many of us, and after the wild weather across the US this weekend, we're probably ready for it to end. Unfortunately, we still aren’t even into February. To make this never-ending season a bit more tolerable, there are some awesome deals on everything from rechargeable handwarmers to video games and manga box sets. Check out all the top deals today below:
Score 47% off the list price of the Legend of Zelda Complete Box Set. For just $55.20, you’ll get all 10 volumes of the Legend of Zelda manga series, which is based on the iconic video game. The artwork in this box set is stunning, and the stories are equally brilliant, making it ideal for Zelda fans of all ages. That’s not all, as you’ll also receive a free poster with this box set.
Tales of Graces f Remastered for PS5 is only $16.30 on Amazon. This remaster modernizes Bandai Namco’s classic action-RPG series, originally released in the US for PS3 in 2012. With this update comes a dash button, autosave, accessibility features, improved graphics, and more. Fans of the original and newcomers will love Tales of Graces f Remastered, especially given that nice low price.
For a keyboard rocking serious gaming chops and an ultra-compact form factor, look no further than the Razer BlackWidow V3 Hyperspeed Phantom 65% Mini. We had a chance to review the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed, calling it an “all-star,” and giving it a 9/10 rating. The Phantom Edition takes that compact design, those awesome yellow mechanical switches, and the low-latency wireless connectivity, and adds stealth pudding key caps for extra RGB flash.
The Razer BlackWidow V3 Hyperspeed Phantom 65% Mini is a killer deal at Best Buy today, as you can grab this great gaming keyboard for just $79.99. The same keyboard is going for $120 on Amazon right now, so these are some healthy savings you’ll want to jump on, as it’s a today-only sale.
Magic: The Gathering Lorwyn Eclipsed just dropped last Friday, and the Play Booster Box has dropped in price by 16% on Amazon. For just $138.95, you’ll get 30 Play Booster packs, making each about $4.63, which is a solid deal. Each pack even guarantees a foil. Now, MTG: Lorwyn Eclipsed is a nice departure from Spider-Man, Avatar, and Final Fantasy. Instead, you just get fantasy creatures throwing spells.
Kick up your oral hygiene with a water flosser, and the brand you want is Waterpik. It’s the top water flossing brand for a reason, and right now, you can buy Waterpik’s Aquarius model for only $59.99. While that’s not as low as Black Friday, it’s still $20 off the list price, making it a solid deal. I have this exact water flosser, and let me tell you, it has some serious cleaning power, especially when you have it cranked up to 10, the top setting. The Aquarius even comes with seven different tips for multiple users or easy replacements.
Godzilla fans grab Godzilla: The First 70 Years: The Official Illustrated History of the Japanese Productions for 42% off on Amazon. This stunning coffee table book is only $43.70 and features awesome behind-the-scenes photos and tons of history on Japan’s king of monsters, including the creation, design, and evolution. You’ll also find production materials, posters, lobby cards, and more on the city-trashing, kaiju-smashing mayhem of Godzilla.
If you’ve been waiting to buy DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO, now is the time. It has dropped down to just $17.73, its lowest price ever. While DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO may have only scored a 7/10 in our review, reviewer Jarrett Green noted that it takes you back to “a simpler time when games didn’t have to be balanced or competitive to be fun, especially when that action stays so true to that of the show it’s recreating.” And since this title costs less than $20, it’s worth a try.
Much of the US experienced extremely frigid temperatures this weekend, and to ensure you’re prepared for the next freeze, you’ll want OCOOPA’s rechargeable handwarmers. No matter how nice your gloves may be, your hands always seem to get cold first. These handwarmers are thin and light with three temperature settings that hit up to 125°F quickly. Woot has a nice little deal on this UT3 Lite model from OCCOPA, priced at just $10.99 with free shipping for Prime members. The same rechargeable handwarmers are going for $16 on Amazon, so this is a nice discount.
If you didn’t jump on the Audible New Year Sale yet, it’s been extended until January 29th. With it, you’ll get three months of Audible Premium Plus for just $0.99 per month. After that, it’ll revert to the normal subscription price of $14.95 per month. However, you can cancel at any time. Anyone who is not a current Audible subscriber is likely eligible for this awesome deal.
An Audible Premium Plus subscription has plenty of perks that are well worth the $3 you pay for three months of access. Most notable is the impressive 500,000 of the top audiobooks available, while regular Plus subscribers have only 10,000 audiobooks. On top of that, you receive 30% off other audiobooks for purchase and get one audiobook monthly that will remain in your library indefinitely (two for Prime members).

LEGO recently started dipping into more sports-themed sets with the Nike collaboration last year, but it looks like the company is taking it even further in 2026 ahead of the FIFA World Cup. The LEGO Soccer Ball is now available to preorder for a whopping $129.99 and will be released on March 1, 2026. This is the second set to be revealed as part of LEGO's World Cup collaboration, with the official trophy build going up for preorder back in December.
The price tag may seem a bit high for what looks like a simple soccer ball at a glance, but there's thankfully more to it than that. The ball itself is an actual 1:1 recreation of the size 5 ball used in the official matches. Inside of the ball there's a mini-stadium celebration scene that features fireworks and a small golden trophy in the center. According to the specifications, the roundness of the ball is achieved by including LEGO Technic elements, which is also what allows the whole set to open up.
The full build is made up of 1,498 pieces and is approximately 8.5" x 8.5" x 8.5" once fully put together. Although the age rating is targeting kids who are 10 years or older, this is generally meant for any soccer fans who also happen to have a passion for LEGO. This is a collectible display set that is meant to be placed on a shelf once you put it together.
First announced during the wave of new LEGO sets available for preorder in December 2025, the LEGO FIFA World Cup Official Trophy is a more expensive display set in this same theme. The trophy set is about 1,400 pieces larger than the soccer ball and comes in at $199.99.
So far, there are only two sets that LEGO has announced for the World Cup and both of these sets are part of the LEGO Editions theme. The 2026 FIFA World Cup doesn't officially kick off until June 11, so it's likely that we'll see more of these sets announced as that date approaches. You can already check out the full match schedule at the Fifa website to see who's up against who in the first week.
With the advent of PC gaming handhelds, the nearly limitless library of games on Steam and other PC clients are now at your fingertips anytime and anywhere. The best gaming handhelds have a hefty price tag and the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X - arguably the best Windows gaming handheld - retails for $1,000.
Fortunately, Best Buy is offering one easy way to get a solid discount on the Xbox Ally X. Best Buy is currently stocked with "Excellent Condition" open box units. Starting this week, the price of these units have dropped from $950 to $899.99. That makes it $100 cheaper than buying brand new. Mind you these are pre-owned, but they are Geek Squad verified and the best graded units are in like-new condition cosmetically and even include all or most of its original warranty.
Open Box - Excellent Condition
The Asus ROG Xbox Ally X is the most powerful handheld gaming PC you can get. It's equipped with the newest AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor, 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and a 1TB SSD. It runs off the Windows operating system, but with Xbox integration. The nomenclature might be confusing, but the Xbox Ally X is really more of an evolution of the the Asus ROG Ally X handheld than it is an actual Xbox console. Jacqueline Thomas sums it up quite well in her Xbox Ally X review:
Jackie also goes on to say that "the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X is easily the best handheld gaming PC available right now." Compared to other gaming handhelds equipped with the same Z2 Extreme CPU, the Xbox Ally X is actually reasonably priced. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 costs $1,100 and the MSI Claw A8 costs $1,150.

Funko Pops: they’re everywhere. And there’s at least one of the vinyl figures made of every single character in the history of pop culture. And while some find these facts annoying, there’s something to be said about a great-looking Funko Pop based on something you personally like. The latest Funkos to go up for preorder are based on Pokémon, and there are some bangers in here: an angry, electricity-summoning Pikachu, an angry, vine-summoning Venusaur, and more. Take a look and see if you want to preorder any from Amazon ahead of release.
The two centerpieces of this new batch of Pokémon Funkos are the aforementioned Pikachu and Venusaur. Both are Funko Pop! Premium figures, meaning they’re 4.5 inches tall, rather than the 3.75 inch height of standard Funko Pop figures. They’re also in more dramatic stances, as if sculpted in mid-attack. They look pretty great, even for a seasoned commerce editor like me.
The rest of the upcoming Pokémon Funkos are standard Funko Pops. We have Ivysaur, Zoroark, Electabuzz, Magmar, and the adorable Goomy. Some people don’t like the Funko style, with its lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes, but I think it works perfectly with Pokemon. There’s just less stylization going on between the real thing (as depicted in the games) and the vinyl figures. They’re also made in eye-catching bright colors, so they look great wherever you decide to display them.
If Pokémon isn’t your speed, you can likely find another upcoming Funko Pop that appeals to you more. The company just keeps on pumping out these things, with everything from the Star Wars prequel trilogy and Disney Princesses to Star Trek and even Australian animals represented. Even if you just want to stick to Funkos based on video games, you can find BioShock and Silent Hill ones up for preorder at Amazon. There's even one based on the Wolverine meme. There’s something for everyone.
