Title: Weekend WDYB (special Borys edition)
Post by: Smooth Groove on May 10, 2009, 10:32:15 AM
Since my fellow PCfag Borys is back,  I thought I'd start off a new WDYB thread with some PC gear.

I just got my Razer Mamba mouse and Razer Destructor professional gaming mat yesterday.  They are the biggest purchases I've made in a few months but the wait was certainly worth it. 

The packaging for the Mamba immediately lets you know that it's a high end product.  The mouse itself certainly lives up to the high expectations.   

Quite simply, the Razer Mamba is by far the most comfortable and responsive mouse that I've ever owned. 

The leap in performance from my previous mouse, the Logitech G9, which was already a great mouse, was incredible. 

If you're been looking for a wireless mouse that performs as well as a wired one, then look no further.  Even in wireless mode, the Mamba never lagged once.     

One caveat: the drivers are kinda wonky.  It took me a couple of tries to get the profiling software working.  The mouse works fine even without the software but it is necessary if you like to customize DPI settings for each game.

I'm reposting but The Wire complete boxset.

Also, I'm canceling my Netflix account.  I barely use it these days because the Watch Instantly sucks and is getting better at a snail's pace.  I might check it out again a couple years from now.

I went to Burger King yesterday and while I specifically asked for TWISTER FRIES instead of the regular ones they still gave me the regular. The amount of rage I felt was immense...

It's funny because I actually had twister fries for the first time ever yesterday.

It was for take away btw. If I would have eaten at the restaurant some burger racks were sure to get knocked down.

I rarely get fast food these days but every time I get something from one, they managed to fuck up.

I went on the road to visit parents.  I got some Popeyes to go, get some chicken and some mashed potatoes.  I look in the bag and no spoon to eat the potatoes.  I guess I'm supposed to just dig the potatoes and gravy out with my hand.

I went to Arby's and got a Jamocha shake.  It was the most vile thing I ever tried to consume.  It tasted bitter and had a fruity flavor to it (wtf).

Holy shit is that mouse expensive. I just ran a search on Pricecanada. 160$ at the lowest??? Isn't that overkill unless you're Fatal1ty?

I always use this MX518 from Logitech. It's wired but I don't mind, and very comfortable.

I spent 4$ for a large Microsoft-themed mouse pad on Dealextreme and I have no complaints either.

The other Razer mouse I owned also had wacky driver/firmware issues.  It was very fiddly.

They're not curly, they're twisted.

I got the Street Fighter IV Fightpad (Chun-Li) for the X360. I paid $25 after redeeming $15 in Reward Zone coupons.  :-*
