Games12 day one!

Games12 is definitely an event worth checking out. the atmosphere here is great; hyped gamers, the best of the upcoming games in 32''+ HD screens with insane surround sound, accompanied by ear-blasting music that will make your father's feet tremble from a mile away, awesome dancers and last but not least, babes, babes everywhere.

Babes aside, this event is honestly full of surprises; for one, the sheer size of the tent the vent is being held in is impressive. this place has room for plenty of hyped up gamers as well of plenty of loud bass.  another thing that surprised me is the fact that this place couldn't fit a single soul in after 5pm. they had to lock people out while the place evacuated because there were just too many gamers. i had no idea the UAE held such big gaming community! Seeing over 100 people jump up out of pure excitement when Microsoft hinted to an Xbox raffle they were holding at the end of the night was real fun to watch.

Anyway, legs are hurting and feet sting, but the party continues strong into the night as the music gets louder, more dancers keep showing up, and somehow, the ladies get better looking.
Really hoping that day two raises the bar, to give even more people a reason to come down on Saturday for the cosplay competition!

Be sure to drop by, the event is great and the vibe lives up to it. remember! you only have until the 22nd to come in before the event comes to an end, and then.. You'll have to wait a whole year!

Logitech G600 Review.




 Righty, i got my hands on the G600 MMO mouse by Logitech!

This has to be, by far, the mouse with the most buttons I've ever laid hands on. And despite the 20 buttons it has, it is quite the comfortable piece of equipment. It may not be the best looking mouse in the market, but it does its job very well, along a comfortable grip that fits just right for MMO games.

Specs are as follows:
  • 200-8200 DPI
  • 11.25 Megapixels/sec
  • Max Speed of 160"/sec
  • 1000/sec report rate
  • 16 bits/axis with a 30G of max acceleration.
I've been playing with the G600 for around 2 weeks now, and I've got to say that this mouse is a great example of the "Don't judge a book by its cover" saying. The mouse doesn't exactly look very appealing, it has a very bulky look to it. HOWEVER, this mouse is pretty deceiving, the G600 is a comfortable mouse and is not very heavy, it slides well on the pads and responds nicely in tight situations.

A thing that makes this mouse interesting, aside from the fact that it has 20 buttons,  is the ability to have different DPI Shifts saved to the mouse, which can then quickly be accessed by holding down whichever keys are assigned to them. It allows you to lower the mouse sensitivity instantly in order to take dead accurate headshots, along with allowing you to increase it accordingly to be able to pan your camera quickly when you're in a PvP fight.

Customization wise, this mouse has one upside and one downside. The good side of it, is that this mouse allows you to fully customize what you want to do with each and every button, allowing you to have 3 different settings saved in the mouse at any one time. The bad side to it, which is simply miscellaneous, to be completely honest; is that you're only able to change the colors of the thumb buttons and can only set one color for all 15 keys.











This is a really nice mouse. It does lack on looks BUT the G600 is definitely a mouse you want to get your hands on if you enjoy having all your macros close to your hands and like having quick access to different DPI level options. It is comfortable and looks very durable.

Score: 4
