The Deathadder has landed!

Thanks to @anmarmansur, and the USPS service, my left-handed Razer Deathadder is now with me!


First impressions are: WOW, so that's what you bastard right-handers have been enjoying for years.

More impressions later, but for now am trying to get used to "proper" leftie mouse settings, ie reversed left/right mouse button clicks (remember?)

Assassin's Creed II

Just a quick note - if you, like me, hated the first Assassin' Creed and got fed up with it's repetition and the same old "survey area, do side mission, kill target, rinse and repeat" mechanic, then I urge you; nay, beg you, to play Assassin's Creed II.


It's like the Assassin's Creed that was made to please us lot - the guys that hated the first one.

I can't say much more without spoiling it, but Ubisoft have really redesigned the game to a much better standard.

Oh, and while I'm at it - I played the Splinter Cell: Conviction demo the other day, the 5th in the Splinter Cell series. This one's been delayed/in the making for 4 years. Again, Ubi have done a great job at reinvigorating the stealth genre, and this game is nothing short of FANTASTIC.

Play both and support Ubi, one of the most prolific devs these days.

Dante's Inferno GLITCH

Damn damn damn!


I was very close to the end of Dante's Inferno (PS3) version, when I encountered a glitch that has rendered my game USELESS.

In Woods Of The Suicide (Violence Circle), there's a clearing where you're meant to find a big throbbing heart, and you get ambushed by many baddies. Problem is, this doesn't happen for me :(

I went round and round in circles, I reinstalled the game, I reloaded the save (perhaps stupidly I was using a single save file) and NOTHING.

Problem is, you can't go anywhere without this section because what SHOULD happen is you kill the big heart thing and the path opens up. Instead, I'm staring at an empty clearing and a path that's blocked and useless.

Fuck it - I'm gonna count it as clocked.

Left-handed PC gamers REJOICE!



At long eff-ing last!

Razer, long-time maker of mostly hand-neutral gaming mice, have finally (FINALLY!) got together a left-handed ergonomic gaming mouse!

They have re-engineered perhaps their most famous creation, the Deathadder, as a left-handed ergonomic mouse.

The calls of left-handed PC gamers (me included) can be heard all over the internet - traditionally, we've had to settle for more inferior solutions, mainly mice that are neither left nor right handed. I for one use Microsoft's most basic Sidewinder (the X3), because it is their only one that is neutral to both hands.

Razer have tended to make most of their mice like that, but the Deathadder (and a their main top range ones) are right-handed only.

It's great too see that they've catered for the market at last - there's a huge gap and hopefully more companies will follow Razer's assured success.

THANK YOU RAZER! for making this left-handed PC gamer, a very happy one!
