I've almost completed my Region 1 Gundam DVD collection. I don't have all the original MSG yet, or SEED Destiny. And I should probably get G-Saviour for the lulz.

Logitech G9

I was planning on waiting for the Microsoft blutrack gaming mouse, but it doesn't have a solid release date and this one was on sale for half price, so I ordered it.  I just hope the midde mouse doesn't such as much as he MX Revolution.

I was planning on waiting for the Microsoft blutrack gaming mouse, but it doesn't have a solid release date and this one was on sale for half price, so I ordered it.  I just hope the midde mouse doesn't such as much as he MX Revolution.

I don't like the middle click on the newer logitechs (g9 included).  My gaming mouse is an old logitech from a few years ago.  I don't even remember what model it  is (oh, guess it's the g7), but it's this design is much better for gaming and general surfing imo.

The middle button just feels so much nicer, and I've never had a problem needing to scroll faster, or to have a "friction-less" scroll wheel.  I bought into the hype over the vx nano and the G9 and came away really disappointed. 

What I've read about it, it seems like it will at least be slightly less annoying than the MX Revolution since middle click is an actual button instead of a switch.  On the G9, the switch is on the bottom of the mouse. Other good thing is that apparently the DPI switch buttons can be mapped to different functions, so worse case scenario I can always set one of them to middle mouse.

I've been using the mx510 for the past couple years, and while it's great and all, I just felt like upgrading.  One of the big reasons was because mice in the past few years have been all about the tilting scroll wheel.  Tilting scroll wheels suck balls since it makes the middle mouse unresponsive and mushy.  At least on the G9 there are more than 2 top buttons that I can remap.

As an iPhone owner, I'm totally biased, but the Blackberry interface makes me want to cry. I imagine it would be easier to type in Japanese on the Blackberry though.

Finally picked up Fallout 3 today for the 360. Got for 30% off at Circuit City. I probably won't touch it until I finish Vesperia. Also got Yggdarsil Union for PSP and put a little time into that. I'm not sure how I feel about it though. Not quite what I expected but it's certainly unique. Need to get a bit deeper into it to get a good feel for the card system. It does make me pine for a new Dragon Force.

yeah, whatever it is they're doing to make it 16:9

All the games are 4:3, the Genny's standard aspect ratio by default.  16 by 9 is available but it stretches the image.  The sprite smoothing is terrible.  It's basically that vaseline filter found in many of the XBLA ports.
