On meeces
Dammit. I was all geared up for a whine about how Apple’s Mighty Mouse is one of the wankiest peripherals I’ve ever got my dabs on - no small claim for someone who grew up during Saitek’s heyday - then I saw this by Dave Shea, which rendered it all a a bit pointless.
Part of the iMac’s attraction for me was the GeForce 8800 GS, which, while not the beefiest graphics card out there, I reckoned should be more than enough to indulge myself in a bit of gaming.
So I was more than happily surprised by the fact that, like a properly disciplined subbie, it was able to handle almost anything Team Fortress 2 threw at it, even at a widescreen 1900×1280 with most of the settings turned up to max (I left anti-aliasing on 4x).
The one blood-encrusted band-aid in my swimming pool of newly-found gaming bliss was that bastard Mighty Mouse sullying the innocent joy of taking a human life by spunking the build menu in my face, when all I want to do is ram my Engineer’s wrench up that wisecracking Scout’s posterior and twist his guts off.
*breathes*
I bought a Razer DeathAdder today after flicking through Bit-Tech. And I’m much better now.
I just wish they could’ve done something about the name. :/
