Its my subconcious trying to stop me from spending my disposable income on things I "probably" dont need.

i got a cheap lazer z2 mouse for $20, good improvement from a std microsoft optical mouse.
Posibly even bigger difference was the upgrade in mousing surface, got some last-years model razer surface for $12. I can't believe i went so long using random surfaces for mousing duties.

I bought one of the Razer Goliathus(Control) ones today. I was wondering if the cheap $5 mouse was holding back the $20 mousepad
Funny how audio teaches you the concept of weakest link

I've got a Sidewinder X8. Great mouse. Too tiny, but.

Was going to get a Logitech, because my MX700 finally deserved to retired. *sniffs* I loved that mouse. Mostly because I got the fifteen-year-old kid who sold it to me fire after I lied about the price I could supposedly get it elsewhere.

Unfortunately, Logitech's marketing's gone to hell, and instead of telling important stuff, like DPI, number of programmable buttons, battery life, stuff like that, they instead crap on about its sleek lines and how you can use it on glass. Which sucks, because only after did I find out that it would've been better for me.

of course mouses and mouse pads make a difference!

call me old fashioned but i'm still a fan of the microsoft intellimouse explorer v3 with an x-ray pad thunder 9 at work. v3 + fUnc F30.R at home

finished Fallout NV last night.

It had a few good moments in it, i will admit, but the whole main story just doesn't make any sense.
Near the start of the game, you'll find numerous factions vying for your assistance. Basically, your only claim to fame at that point is being shot in the head, and surviving.

Liking all dem bugs?

Former Logitech G5 laser owner here. I'd buy one again but I rarely game seriously anymore and occasionally on the move so a compact wireless laser mouse for me.

Liking all dem bugs?

I'm one of those lucky SOBs who had about four CTDs the whole time.

The camera flash bugs were annoying, and the human NPC slowdown was fixed with the D3D9.dll.

Other than that, Obsidian know how to write.

easily the most bugged game i've ever played. 2nd most bugged would be fallout 3

hmm, try 15 crashes in 20 minutes...
A number of other random crashes, a few graphics bugs, a few sound bugs

Haven't turned on my gaming pc since I started my new job. WTH, that's like since 6 October... The sky is falling!!!!

I guess I won't get any bugs with Fallout. Nothing beats the rather BIG bug in Fallout 3 when you go to Big Town and they demand that you fix them some robots (skills permitting) but there is one small problem... There are no flipping robots around.

Starcraft 2 free weekend is coming up on the 19th-21st good time to try it out and get friends to join in.

[CRUZMISL]

Currently looking into a mx518

Great mouse. No need to spend any more

I got this the other day and the only bug I can see is in playing Caravan (or maybe this is just as shitty a side game as it looks)
Enjoying it hugely particularly as it alleviates everything I didn't like about Fallout3 lacking character substance

GT5 Nov 25th now cant freaking wait now

[TANJENT]

It will be interesting to see the differences between Forza Motorsport 3 and GT5..
Especially when it comes to in game car physics and building and tuning limitations.
As I am a custom car builder/tuner in FM3 online
Also the ability the custom paint and decal your rides.

The auction house and general online community on FM3 also a major winner for me which I dont think GT5 will be able to compete with..

GT5 does have what 12 online at a time?
FM3 has only 8
GT5 graphics are surely superior also.
