Google Nexus 7 2013 Unboxing.

As part of my “catch-up” blog posts, (more on my absence later), here is a quick “un-boxing” video of the new Google Nexus 7 2013 tablet.

A full review will be up on this very blog in the near future, but in short I have now been using this tablet for about 3 months and it is excellent! In terms of other tablets I own and use,  have one of every OS and I am finding myself reaching for my Nexus more often than the other two – high praise indeed!

What are your thoughts on this and other tablets on the market? Do we buy the “brand”, the “hardware”, or the “Operating System” these days? Comment below or on the YouTube post! 🙂

This weeks episode is a 2-parter. The first half if the usual irreverent look at the weeks gaming news stories including: the man who recently broke the world record for playing video games non-stop on BLOPs2, Mirrors Edge 2 is finally being worked on, Perter Molyneux launches Kickstarter for Populous Successor Godus, and WiiU Launch titles are revealed.

We then see the return of the infamous “Kobi-Ashi Maru – 10 Qs of Doom”, and then in the 2nd half of the podcast we discuss all things HALO – including our review of HALO4 and information on a cross community HALO tournament!
