Some awesome stuff as usual Moth!! =D

I bought the Sonic pack on Amazon for Sonic 4 and the racing game, turns out I already have that racing game and need the other one so I only used the keys for the two Sonic 4 episodes. The rest I'm giving away here. I don't want to go through each link individually so just look through my profile.

Giveaways!!

I saw it and bought it right away. Although it's kind of funny, I was just talking to a guy at work about how I refuse to even pay half price for games anymore because my library is so big. Then I got home from work, and bought a game for just 33% off without thinking twice. =P

No, Steam does it for me. :)

I think that people are just tired of the same game being remade with different maps, graphics, and a slightly different story.

This -- We're in a pretty shitty time for gaming (and well frankly, most forms of entertainment) where publishers don't want to risk money on something new and innovative. The thing is, people are clearly getting bored of the same game year after year. The indie scene is a breath of fresh air and proves many things about gaming, you don't need a big budget, you need a good idea, you don't have to charge a ridiculous amount for a 5 hour campaign that looks nice when gamers can get games that last longer and are much more fun for $15, and that a lot of people clearly don't care that much about graphics. I still don't see publishers realizing how they're slowly killing themselves and they're coming up with excuses (ie piracy) instead of admitting their own flaws.

Really, what do they expect when we don't want to pay $60 for Call of Duty 4: 7th Edition? Go through all the big name games of the past couple years and you'll have a hard time finding a game that doesn't end in a number... Gamers are getting bored with all the same crap the AAA companies pump out.

I like my RAT 7, but its sensor has had too many issues for me to keep using it and it's out of warranty. My personal recommendation would be the G500 but that is on the larger side. Personal preference definitely weighs into mice suggestions.

I'd also like to recommend not getting a RAT 7. I've had sensor issues as well. The housing for the laser seems to like to collect dust and a spray with some condensed air usually does it, but sometimes it'll happen when you least expect it and can completely ruin a whole round in a multiplayer game if it happens at the wrong time. Also, I use the side buttons a lot, and the side buttons stopped registering unless I hit it from an uncomfortable angle. Fortunately it was under warranty and they replaced it but I suspect the issue will come again over heavy use.

I had a Razer BlackAdder which I loved except for the slick sides so if your hands are wet at all, you'll have trouble gripping it. It looks like their new edition of the BlackAdder, I think they call it just the BlackAdder 2013 Edition or something like that, has grips on the sides. I think if this RAT 7 has issues with the side buttons again, I'll be buying that Razer.

I was always split between the two but leaned more towards PC gaming. I had at least one of every generation console with NES, then Genesis, then Playstations 1-3. PS3 came out and I figured I'd stick to that since computers were so expensive. Then about 3 and a half years ago, I built just an entry level gaming rig and never turned back. My PS3 has literally become a DVR for me to watch TV shows in my bedroom with. Now, even though the machine is still expensive today, here I am, highly considering spending thousands of dollars on a new computer at the end of this year. I bet the money I've saved just from sales over the past few years will pay the difference between a PS4/XBox 720 and my new ridiculous machine I'm going to build.
