Razer 3G Laser Sensor Mouse Has a 4000 DPI Sensor

The 4000 DPI resolution and 100 inches per second tracking speed of this Razer 3G Laser Sensor will probably give you as much of an advantage in BioShock as you’re going to get, short of injecting yourself with a “Not-Suck-At-FPS” Plasmid.

First Look at Microsoft’s Crazy Sidewinder Gaming Mouse (Designed by Darth Vader)

The first joystick I ever bought was a Msft Sidewinder. Some hands on time with their new mouse, the first ever to carry this brand, was very positive: it’s worthy of the marquee and a is a well engineered pointer, even if it does look like a Darth Vader’s Imperial interrogation droid-ette. Or a hydrofoil.…

Retirement Home Wii Home Run Derby

These photos from a retirement home Wii home run derby are pretty amazing. Just look at that ump! Doesn’t he realize that there’s already an ump in the game, and that he has no real say? He really looks like he means business, though, so I still wouldn’t argue with him. Boy, with that kind…
