Here is another listing for the Saitek mentioned above. This might be a better option for you since you are not always able to order from amazon.com in Canada:

If you want to save up for the Logitech here is a listing that is about $15 cheaper. I use that keyboard and while it is very nice I can't get it to work with my BIOS so I have to keep another keyboard around:

Also, here is another one to consider. It is reviewed ok and has a hand cooler if that is something you think you need. I think it looks bizarre:

If you can't afford the Saitek then I recommend waiting until you have saved up more money since sub-$50 illuminated keyboards will likely be terrible.

Hey everybody! I'm planning the bachelor party for my best friend and I need some suggestions for video games to play. Since its going to be a small party with only about 7 or 8 people, and none of us want to do the strip club thing, we are instead going to have a bit of a video game bonanza instead. So, I'm looking for good suggestions for local multiplayer games for either the Wii or the Xbox 360 that match a night of bro-ing out. However, if there are a lot of suggestions for Playstation games maybe I'll make that his wedding gift. 
 
As a bonus you could include ideas for good drinking games related to your video game suggestion.
Thank you!

Yakityyakblah's advice is solid. I would even go so far as to ask your professors for advice in your job search as well. As long as you approach them in a friendly manner they are usually willing to give you what advice they can. While I am not in your field I do have 2 university degrees and have found that the individuals I have known who are engineers have really benefited from co-op programs and the connections they were able to make through the university. Most universities also offer job fairs which may only have a slim chance to get you a job; however they do expose you to what it is like talking with people from the companies which can be a benefit when it comes time to do an interview.

 
You mention that you don't have friends in Canada and that must be a source of stress for you. If you can I suggest looking for a club or group activity you can join that interests you. On one hand it will give you actual interaction with other people which is always a good thing. Also, it will help you become comfortable with interacting with Canadians. I'm not sure what your experiences were like but a lot of people go through university without real interaction with their peers. Being comfortable in the Canadian setting will help you with your interviews and I have found that those recent immigrants I have been friends with who have been successful in the job market are also socially comfortable in Canada. 
 
Finally I would say getting a masters is a good idea as well. While there are organizations which seek to help you in transferring your credentials from other countries, I do believe that employers favour Canadian university graduates. Getting a masters will at the very least demonstrate to the employers that you are capable in dealing with the Canadian engineering world.
 
Good luck, glad to have you in Canada, and I hope you come to love it here.

That was awesome. I think the tone was perfect and the questions were just the right amount of gaming and otherwise.

I picked  Super Mario Galaxy 2 and I don't even own a Wii. I think thats a bad sign (for me). 

the longest and most drunken bombcast you could ever imagine

I think the key difference is if you pee in the shower or pee into the shower, particularly if you do so from the hallway,

That end to end to end breakaways was crazy!
