Yesterday I mentioned FPS games. Well one of my favorites is HALF-LIFE. I mean there are plenty of great blow stuff/people to bits games but HALF-LIFE has a awesome storyline, DROP DEAD GORGEOUS SUPERMODEL ART/DESIGN and just when you think you’ll get bored or that your done they drop ONE more level on you.

There was the original HALF-LIFE. There is a string of amazing mods (Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress, Opposing Force, Blue Shift) and of course HALF-LIFE 2 "… THE BEST GAME EVER MADE" according to PC GAMER and soon to be released HALF-LIFE 2 EPISODE ONE (JUNE, 1st). Give HALF-LIFE a try, you wont be disappointed.

If you play a lot of first person games (Doom, Halflife, Unreal Tournament, F.E.A.R etc.) one of your biggest obstacles and the thing that can determine your outcome is keyboard configuration. You can spend an hour just trying to figure out a keyboard layout that’s most comfortable and easy to remember/utilize. I know I have often wished I had a custom made keyboard for every game I plan on spending some time with however that would be cost
inefficient/prohibitive for both the game companies and the gamer. Yes, some game companies do have keyboard layovers, but they are often more confusing that helpful.

That is where Extreme Tech and PD Scientific’s Wolf Claw II FPS Keyboard comes in and creates an interesting and effective solution. The Wolf Claw II FPS Keyboard isn’t the only gaming keyboard on the market and there are “Gaming Mice” as well but not may of them are actually well designed products. 2 USB ports, plug and play, WSAD and all the buttons associated with “FPS” games have been shifted and consolidated on the left side of the keyboard. The numeric keys 0-9 are positioned at the top in an "arc" shape to make in game weapon selection easier. I could go on and on or you could just GET ONE!

You wanted free stuff Wednesday. Here it is. Do not by a cell phone or cell phone plan before consulting www.letstalk.com. Did somebody say FREE Motorola RAZR V3 – Black? Yeah I did!

I love this! Why carry a lantern AND a water bottle? Meet The LightCap™, the water bottle with a solar powered light in the lid. The idea is so simple but so ingenious, why didn’t someone think of this before. The cap has a built-in waterproof solar panel, battery pack and powerful, long-lasting LED light. Fill it with your favorite drink (32 oz capacity) and never worry about finding it in the dark again.

With just a four-hour charge of sunshine the LightCap will stay bright for hours while the rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries will last for at least 300 cycles. The solar power unit is completely sealed; in fact, it is molded in from the outside of the cap so there’s no possible contact with liquid from the bottle. There’s also a handy waterproof switch on the cap that lets you change from the white LED to red LED (which uses less energy) or turn to turn it off completely. Going camping?

Those embarrassing pictures of you as a kid, you don’t want them popping up during a business presentation. For that matter you don’t want to damage a disk that you don’t have a backup of. You don’t want 20 disks with the same info and you don’t want to be searching forever to find your office documents or homework.

Truly’s Pic ‘N Roll. First of all Cnet and a few other reviewer ripped this unit a new one. But, if you do your research and check out actual consumers/users of the unit they have nothing but praise for it. Part of this is due to the fact that Truly released a preproduction model for preliminary review and many reviewers where too lazy or unwilling to analyze the final product.

Truth be told the Truly Pic ‘N Roll MP313X is a bargain and a awesome piece of technology. Look at the basic specs.
