Last spring, our team spent 11 weeks testing 23 different pipe inspection cameras across residential drains, sewer laterals, and HVAC ducts.

I spent six weeks testing digital pinball machines across three game rooms, a basement, and one surprisingly tolerant apartment above a coffee shop. The goal was simple: figure out which cabinets and tabletops actually deliver the flippers, bumpers, and slingshot recoil that real pinball fans crave, without the maintenance drama of solenoids and leveling drama. … Read more
