Random Gaming Thoughts

couldn't you just find 4 replacement keys rather than buy a whole new keyboard?

Probably not for a membrane keyboard unless there's an otherwise identical one out there you could swap from. Mechanical using Cherry MX or knockoffs it's pretty easy/common since the caps are all compatible, but there aren't many wireless mechanical keyboards, especially full size (they do exist though).


Can also try doing ESDF so that you're using the standard home position anyway. Or maybe just modify the one you have with texture stickers or something.

My keyboard did come with an alternate set for WASD, but in addition to being textured, they're angled differently and in turn odd to use for regular typing. Haven't really tried to get a wireless keyboard for my gaming PC though.

This logitech works great and feels good when you play. Maybe I will just swap the F and W key.

I have a wired mechanical and to be honest this Logitech simply feels better to me. I experience zero performance loss on games that require it to play. You would think I would have some input lag with it, but if I do, I cannot tell. Nice not to be tied to a wire also.



On a side note: if any of you guys liked Minecraft or any crafting game you need to be playing 7 Days to Die. It is in Alpha but every update makes the game better and better. I hope it stays in Alpha forever. Everything is destructible and it is fully customize-able. You can make it difficult or easy or just play in creative mode. You farm, build and craft. It is truly an amazing game. It must be good because it is the only zombie game my wife has ever played. The most challenging thing she plays is Lego LOL. Just mentioning this because I am on my way to play it now! Play it on PC, console blows!

out of curiosity, which mechanical keyboard is it that you do have?

Ya know, that thing is buried in a pile of boxes taller then I am. I use a corner in the basement we call the game stuff cast off pile. It was not a name brand just something I got on the cheap. I do also have a real old HP keyboard that I am pretty sure has mechanical keys on it. So I am probably not comparing a quality mechanical keyboard to my Logitech. Thus my opinion may be skewed. Next time I have cause to dig for something I will pull out that keyboard. I think it was "Aveo" or Aveto", something like that.

Seriously, our cast off pile is 12x12 and about 8 foot tall. Just stacks of boxes. It is stuff I either did not feel comfortable selling or is simply broke or not worth selling because of low value. Controllers, systems, hook ups, adapters, cases for all kinds of games. Manuals, inserts and all other sorts of things. I have thousands of manuals and inserts alone from gamestop tossing cases. I am talking things as odd as 3DO manuals all the way to modern case like DS. I have to have 500 DS cases that are only missing the game. I had a guy at gamestop for years who would save them for me rather than trashing them. Probably a treasure for some people. Hell if any of you all want to come dig in it feel free to pillage LOL! Most people who game and come over leave with stuff from my pile. I am just glad to see it get used.

I know you weren't asking me, but I'm answering anyway.

I use a stock Dell AT101W. This one has nice, clicky Alps switches. It's a flipping tank, brother. A big ol' beefy mechanical keyboard from back in the day. I found it in an old Goodwill for five bucks. Then I dropped about eight or nine dollars on one of those "blue cube" p/s2 to usb convertors. This is the keyboard of my dreams; it's everything I wanted in a mechanical keyboard.

Some people mod these keyboards to make them quieter, but I just left mine stock.I like the loud clicks.

The Japanese Mega Drive version of Zero Wing has 35 endings.

Knowing this makes my life somewhat complete.

I swear if i end up on a long rabbit hole because I want to go back to legend of heroes/dragon slayer after playing trails of cold steel it's bone's fault.....

On a side note and the answer is probably no, but do the vita and ps3 versions work together at all? I'd love to play on the big screen and take it on the go once I get my vita from my dads house. I'm contemplating making this my on the go game since I'm obviously not getting a retrode2 anytime soon >_>

I'm just going to leave this here....apparently there's a tom and jerry mmo out now...

Why does it seem in every rpg the main character is always late, and oversleeping? Man seriously, I can't recall one where that hasn't been the case as of yet. I know there's a lot of clichès but these are just pushing it with how common they seem XD

Trails of Cold Steel's main character is oblivious in social situations, driven in academic situations, and punctual and polite in like everything.

He actually cuts it super close a majority of the time of what I've played so far. I've done way too much exploring, and currently lost trying to find Collen's notebook...
