6 Accessories That Can Make You A Better Gamer

MakeUseOf has a great article on gaming accessories:

"Most games are a test of skill. You either face the game itself, or other players, and in either case your ability to interact with and manipulate the game ultimately determines success or failure. Or that’s the idea, at least.

Reality is a bit different. While skill is indeed the most important factor, it’s not the only one. The equipment a gamer has can make him more or less effective, and that might in turn make the difference between victory and defeat. Not all devices are equally advantageous, however; here are some of the most useful."

The Last of Us images and review

I always used to be exclusively a pc gamer and thought there is nothing better.
It certainly has its perks, one being able to easily share files with friends at a lan party, but there are short comings like will it run smoothly on my pc?
So I felt at the rate that pc's and technology is expanding and getting beter and better, it's hard to keep up with upgrades every couple of months with new hardware coming out.
However nowadays that's also a little bit easier as tech has slowed down a bit.

I sold my pc and bought an Xbox360 and I love it.. my troubles of wondering if my graphics card is compatible or do I have enough RAM were over!  Things were looking great for me, however they were going too great. The one thing I simply just passionately dislike reared it's ugly head and it's called exclusives.
The Last of Us is one of those exclusives which I have been denied the pleasure of playing, just because I don't have the right console.
The game manages to build a relationship between the players and characters that feels real. While traversing urban areas there is a real sence of danger around every corner, when ever there is an open setting there is a a feeling of beauty all around.
All of these elements to name a few are what makes this game make me want to go out and buy a PS3, JUST so that I can also experience this.

Dead or alive 5 mouse pads and bathroom posters

we all know the Dead or Alive series and that which is associated with it, the development team tried to scale back certain elements of the game and fans damn near started a riot!

I'm talking about boobs, beautifully animated big breasted girls doing martial arts in very little. In an effort to appease the masses of DOA fan, Japan will be receiving a special collectors edition of the game.

 This collectors edition will include numerous items that include a 3D mose pad that will provide a rest for you to rest your wrist on, also a bathroom poster.


Now, if you find yourself asking "what the hell is a bathroom poster?" Let me explain,  its a regular poster with a layer of protective plasic over to protect it from any kind of water damage. What
you will do with a sexy poster inside your bathroom is totally up to you. There is still some to be said of the rest of the collector's edition content and pricing, so go read the full story at dualshockers.com

Got a favourite gaming web comic that you can't live without? Post a link to it in the comments.

First! - an introduction and a project that's totally worth it

This is my first blog post here, I am Johnathan's brother and will be adding to the lighter side of things.

Today I found a cool blog post over at Make Use Of (one of my favourite sites), showing you how to make Cubeecraft Paper toys.

They would look awesome on a desk, next to your monitor and collection of Optimus Prime action figures.

You can expect more light hearted posts from me. Say something in the comments, what would you like to see more of and what do you think about today's post?
