Video games and music just go together. Whether you’re a gamer searching for tasty jams to game to or a music supervisor looking for the perfect soundtrack to your hot new game; you rarely encounter one without the other.

XYZ not only sent over their new mixtape, Xminute Gaming, but also sent us a pair of Playbudz.

Xminute Gaming is not only a website but is also a community. An excerpt from their website reads,

Where gamers from all over the world unite as one, to form a team that changes gaming through the individual. From unboxings, reviews, live streams, and excusive XMG music. We represent everyone of you!

Xminute Gaming – the mixtape – by XYZ is a complimentary urban-genre soundtrack to your gaming needs. Available for download or streaming on DatPiff.com.

Playbudz is a profound yet simple concept. As gaming systems have evolved, their controllers (for whatever reasons) have continued to get smaller…and smaller.

So what is a video-game-loving person lacking small hands to do in this situation?

Enter, Playbudz, a silicone extension which enhances your grip on a wide range of video game controllers. Below is a video review from the fine folks at 3KB.

Not only do they work on video game controllers, but I have found them useful for improving the grip on my son’s remote control car controllers and other toys your average 5-6 year old would use remotes to control.

Assuming you are a serious gamer; I would grab a pair of Playbudz, click play on the mixtape, and commence to getting your game on.
