I've had my Razer Copperhead mouse for 5 years. Thing is outstanding. Not only from a performance perspective, but no mouse I've ever handled is nearly as comfortable. The Lachesis is basically the same mouse as the Copperhead I have. http://store.razerzone.com/store/raz...oryId.36716200

I wouldn't want the Naga. Seems like there's way too much going on there and too much potential to accidentally hit something you don't want to.

Hey!

It means when the game launches, it will be 3 or 4pm Australian time which means I can get some serious time in!

The only time you should be using a controller on the PC is if you're playing a fighting game. Even then you should be using a joystick.

Caddy · 10-14-2011, 11:58 PM

I think it's personal preference. If you are amazing at using a controller and average at mouse/keyboard, you might very well get results using the 'inferior' control scheme.

I'm seriously this close to buying CS from steam. Anyone still play it and what version do most tend to use?

nepg · 10-17-2011, 12:23 AM

I still play Counter-Strike Source. I can't play 1.6 because it just looks too terrible (and I remember when it was the best-looking shooter). I pretty much just play on 208.115.218.40:27015. It's 24/7 dust_2

So apparently Australia isn't included in Star Wars TOR 'global' release.

Lolstralia.

Btw, anyone still play League of Legends? I'm inching ever-closer to level 20 where **** gets real. Play a lot of Taric and Ashe. Picked up Alistar and Tristana for free.

Related note: If anyone has the Nov 11 issue of PC Gaming, can I have your League of Legends character skin code (Caitlyn)? Somehow, it's not on newstands anymore (Dec 11 issue is out - wtf?)

I play CS:S on a 24/7 Office server, but not a lot. I'll play a few times a week though.

lolol, you dun goofed.

Caddy · 10-17-2011, 01:32 AM

Vidae you are the nerdiest nerd.

nobodyinparticular · 10-17-2011, 01:33 AM

There are too few people who play CS:S now. It makes me sad... CS 1.6 is the FPS I cut my teeth on. Actually, it was CS 1.1 and then beta of 1.4 I started on.

I so can't wait for CS Global Offensive. I hope it brings more people to Steam FPSs.

I'm not that excited for CSGO. Seems like it's super-geared towards the console gaming market at the moment. I've read they are bringing in pro squads from Source and 1.6 to play it and give critiques and have been very good about fixing issues, but that it's really not that great for competitive gaming right now.

That would suck...

I usually play a few games daily. MercWithTheMouth. Ive been playing a ton of Annie lately, her ult is just plain nasty when it's charged with a stun. I generally play Warwick and Pantheon as well.

Yeah I'm not expecting much from CS:GO for pretty much the same reason. I would love for it to be a good, competitive game. I originally started playing CS beta like 3 or 4 back when the m4a1 had the mini-zoom when I was about 10. I played competitively online and at lans until I was like 18 or 19. I can't even stand playing CS without it being a scrimmage/pick up game now, it becomes boring real quick to me. I hope CS:GO won't be as bad as I'm expecting.

For those wanting more tasty info on SW:TOR, the press embargo on information is being removed tomorrow morning so make sure to check your favorite game news sites!

Per the TOR community manager:

Quote:

As others have noted, we have a press embargo on #SWTOR dropping tomorrow. We've had press in for a while. Testers are still under NDA. That means if you're in testing, you're still bound by NDA. Only press who have been admitted will be sharing their impressions.

vidae · 10-20-2011, 12:23 PM

http://darthhater.com/2011/10/20/rep...a-media-event/

Tons of new info. This has links to all of the major fansites/gaming sites with their impressions and videos.

Caddy · 10-20-2011, 06:01 PM

I'm gonna save all the new stories for when I get back from class!

Forenci · 10-20-2011, 06:06 PM

Haven't had a chance to read all of it but the few articles I did seemed very high on the game.

vidae · 10-20-2011, 06:41 PM

I read one that was kind of negative but the guy who wrote it stated at the beginning of the article that he wasn't a fan of sandbox games.

So far everything has been positive!

Im level 30, you peon. I am addicted as **** to this game. I love dota and LOL. can't wait for dota 2 either. If you ever want to play with a real player my name is Artie Bucco.

nepg · 10-20-2011, 07:25 PM

I've really grown to like LOL a ton. Can't see DorA2 being a real upgrade, but I am prepared to be surprised!

DieuDuCiel is my gt

vidae · 10-21-2011, 02:37 PM

For those that still play this garbage: new World of Warcraft expansion, Mists of Pandaria. New race: Pandaren (lol), new class: Monk (tank/damage/healer).. new level cap: 90.. new end boss: no one? They stopped with the lore and are instead making it Horde vs Alliance.

If I didn't already quit this crappy game for TOR I would have after seeing this announcement. So gd stupid.

edit: Oh I forgot! Pet battles now too! So you can play Pokemon while you wait for stupid dungeon queues!

edit2: Also forgot, they have a new sub model.. sub for one year and you get an in game mount, automatic access to the new xpac beta and D3 for "free." That all just reeks of desperation too. They know they're losing subs so they're trying to snatch as many people as they can before TOR / GW2 release.

vidae · 10-21-2011, 03:53 PM

For those that pre-ordered the CE edition of SW:TOR (I think Cain did?) this video shows all the goodies you get in it.

edit: Nice, an authenticator. I was wondering if they were going to make those available.
