It's an incredibly customizable gaming mouse. :P

Watchmen is good stuff. What's the other one?

Better yet, let's see if I can remember simple Spanish: The Secret of the Sirenita?


hahahaha almost! :dopey:, The Secret of the Little Mermaid, but you all over the world know it by it's real name: Ponyo!!! It's the latest film by Studio Ghibli (technically, it's the latest to have hit occident, as another one, "Borrower Arriethy", was launched in Japan just a bit back ago and will take some time to show here), and it was about 10 bucks, so I just could not leave it there.

I was about to say..that is a long name than to say Ponyo
 
You sure it wasn't the R.A.T-9? The wireless POS that no one seems to like and/or want to justify it's $100+ asking price?

I heard something like "it's not practical enough and it's not comfortable". It was some video on YT a while back. I disagree with the video, I think it's quite badass.
 
Saitek (MadCatz) R.A.T.7, or colloquially (or is it more of an aphorism?), The Baddest Mouse on the Planet. :D

So, is it going to be a Decepticon or an Autobot in TF3?

Some of the same criticisms I've heard. To each their own though...I imagine this entire line is biased toward people with hands that aren't within the average. While it starts off about the size of say, my GX518..it only gets longer, wider, and taller. :odd:

This thing is funky. :lol:

Neutral. Plays to the advantage of both sides; but then once Bumblebee gets shredded by Megatron, it realizes it's place is with the Autobots.

And that's how Rattrap was born.

That was horrible. I can do better than that! :lol:

I'd be really interested in your impressions of the R.A.T.

Noted, I should have it tomorrow morning or afternoon. I can tell you right now to avoid the 9 because everything I've read, whether they be customer or professional reviews, they all smite it for practically the same reason: the wireless connectivity is garbage. There's lag, response delay, and it's expensive for what should be a convenience...but that's thrown out of the window once you released the 7 is exactly the same, except it's wired (which, as any FPS-head will surely tell you, wired gaming mouses are the way to go).

How's that so far? :D

I'm looking to buy that mouse, how does it feel on your palm having all those shapes and surfaces? Also does it feel well made?

I'll answer that tomorrow. Turns out Sunday shipping is good-for-nothing, even if it's shipping from somewhere as close as NJ. :grumpy:

Imo, the R.A.T. is just being dumb.

What do you mean?
 
Picked this up.

Have recently rediscovered a love of reading, but we have no space in our house for books. So it seems sensible to cloud-store them. Have also installed the Kindle app on my iPhone for when I want to read but am without Kindle, and on my computer for looking at photos in books that I'm reading.

I say "picked it up", it's due for delivery tomorrow.

eReaders are quite wonderful. I have a Sony Pocket edition, and it is always in my bag or on my person. Makes getting coffee more enjoyable at a cafe as well. Though there is still something to be said for having physical books - namely having a private library you can share with friends. But when lacking space, it is an elegant solution.
 
Yeah but you're trying to sound cool saying it like that, which to be honest, you don't deserve to be on the road if that's the case.

I drive very fast, but not in residential areas and the like (motorways, dual carriageways mainly), I don't brag about how fast I drive.
 
It was an accident(road had a temporary speed limit due to repaving over the weekend) and I do kinda brag about it becuase the examiner said to me he tried to fail me but couldn't and I found it funny when I did something majorly wrong he failed to notice.

So you brag because you passed but shouldn't have because you aren't safe to drive on public roads unsupervised? You're a pretty cool guy, bro.

YOU are why young drivers can't have nice things!

Back on topic, picked up some lengths of chain for weighted pull-ups (holding barbell weights between my legs was never going to last).

That.... Is godly.. I know what I'm savin' up for next! :dopey:

Plus, watched about 7 (Huh... Rat 7...) videos regarding the mouse... Or should I say, Rat. It being customizable in both length, width, and weight, puts itself on the top of my list.

ALONG WITH, the 4 extra parts including weight storage case, 2 pinkie rest attachments and 2 textured palm rests. Just if you all were curious of what it came with :)

I have an in-progress review going on in The Infield. I can PM you what I've done thus far, if you're interested?

Karmaloop has been a treat lately since the Australian economy has gone strong (+ Discount Codes). Shipping still hits hard though. 👍

Personally, for about the same money, I find this to a be a better mouse.

New cook book;

We already have Jamie's America book and whilst the food is indeed great, my girlfriend does most of it as I wouldn't know where to begin! So whilst food shopping the other day I took a look at this. It's great for beginners, explaining each step well whilst keeping a certain degree of simplicity to the methods.

Last night I made chicken chow mein, it was epic if I do say so myself.
