Mothca iPhone Case
After smashing his iPhone, Marcus decided to purchase a brand new iPhone case and after some surfing on Amazon he came across an ultra thin iPhone case which really caught his eye. The Mothca iPhone 6 6S Case, Full Body Ultra Slim PC Hard Cover Case + Tempered Glass Screen Protector 3 in 1 Design Front Cover & Back Case Its really thin! Only 1mm in thickness and covers the whole iPhone only leaving the headphone jack, home button, speakers and grills visible! So really does offer some really good protection while keeping in touch with the iPhone’s slick design.

Record Breaking Batman Cosplay!
Batman, Arkham version, Our favourite Comic Book Character has been brought to life in the form of a WORLD RECORD BREAKING COSPLAY SUIT.
Basically it is a bad ass Batman Suit, that blows all other Batman cosplay suits out of the water. Its so good it even could rival the movies. It has been entered into Guinness World Record books for the most functional gadgets on a cosplay costume. It 23 working gadgets, including smoke spray, fire ball sprays, a bat signal torch, magnetic bat boomerangs, GPS! Bat claw – you name it he has it. Julian Checkley, sorry Batman is the don that made the suit that is based on the Arkham games. Julian is a Special Effects master by trade and spent 3 months making it. But I have done enough talking. Just watch the video above in awe.
If that isn’t enough, check this video out!

Kill A Bit: KeySmart
This device is a lil funky gadget designed to smartly store your keys, and WE LOVE IT. The swiss style key holder can fit up to 100 keys on it and much like in a swiss army knife are tucked away neatly in a compact and versatile holder. Just flick out the one that you want and flick it back when you are done, you can even hold up to 2 usb slots available from KeySmarts site and a loop to hold your car keys, because we don’t leave anyone out here at How To Kill An Hour!

Kill A Bit: Stranger Things Point and Click
“99 out of a hundred times, the missing kid is with a parent or relative.This is about that one other time.”
Freely available demo available online inspired by Stranger Things you play as police chief Jim Hopper in the early parts of the series searching for clues about why Will Byers is missing! Its very short and is a one-room, point and click adventure game and is created by Steven Alexander, James Mulvale & Jon Taylor-Stoll of Infamous Quests.
We advise that you give this a go after you have watched the series as it really wouldn’t make sense if you were to just pick up and play the game. Funk Butcher described it as an accessory to the TV show, complementing the whole mood and vibe of the show well, yet not giving anything away from the main story. Even being produced in an 8-bit style it embellishes the whole 80’s retro setting that Stranger Things has.

Kill A Bit: Resident Evil Biohazard
You remember when we said we liked, even loved anything Zombies and horror based? Well what we didn’t mention is that not everyone likes horror. Funk Butcher downloaded the Resident Evil: BioHazard demo on PS4 this week. Let’s just say that he didn’t help himself and his fears when he waited until dusk to play this game in the dark.
Unlike the other Resident Evil games this installment is the first one in the series to be played in first person. It follows the same premise as you would usually expect from a Resident Evil game. Survive. The game is set after the events of Resident Evil 6, “in modern day”, you are a character called Ethan, Ethan does not have combat skills like past characters, but he is in search of his missing wife and as any typical horror fan would know, it leads him to a derelict plantation mansion. Well we all know what happens then…….
