I've been a Razer loyalist for over three years ever since I purchased the Nostromo gamepad and DeathAdder mouse (right) for the release of SWTOR.

The mechanical Black Widow (left top) is phenomenal for gaming, but not so much for prolonged typing and writing sessions. So today I went and bought the DeathStalker (left bottom). The chiclet keys are much easier for writing and chatting.

SPOILERS!

Communist premiere confirmed.

Smooze confirmed.

Episode 100 teases abound.

But if you come fifth, all you'll get is a toaster.

Season 5 begins next month!

Yeah, the first two entries were lost in that mass deletion of blogs last week, but I figured one or two of you would want me to continue with the origins of my SWTOR characters.

Let's start with the Republic Trooper.

Haven't even gotten him off Coruscant yet, but I'm looking forward to his story of hunting down the traitors of Havoc Squad.

Here he is without the helmet.

Finally found a great helmet for my Republic Trooper. Didn't like the voice filter on the first one I bought, so I gave it to Jorgan (left). This one however, sounds perfect, and makes him rather fearsome looking.

And after nearly an hour of searching, I found a great chest piece for my Smuggler.

Skyrim now has a consistent crash-to-desktop near the Guardian Stones, and I'm in no mood to disable mods one by one to find the culprit.

Oh well. Back to SWTOR. I'm still holding out for Bethesda to announce a re-release at E3. If not, I'll wait until I get my gaming desktop built, and play it on Ultra, with less mods.

I'm beginning to think about two upcoming dates.

The first is March 15th, my fourth anniversary as a part of the Brony fandom. Thinking about how to celebrate. This is now the longest I've been an active fan of a cartoon. I'm starting to wonder if Friendship is Magic is going to overtake my longest watched cartoon / anime in number of episodes. Digimon currently has the throne at 155 episodes for the first three seasons. By the time Pony Season 5 is over, it will be at 117.
