  • Do Not Buy a Car From Nissan

    Do Not Buy a Car From Nissan

    – In 1998 we bought a Nissan Pathfinder. The car had multiple issues and car problems (we should have learned our lesson here)
    – In 2004 we bought a Infiniti g35 (Infiniti is Nissan if you did not know). This car practically exploded on the freeway and died out.
    – In 2009 We foolishly bought this Nissan Murano. 4 Nissan Dealerships, 4 Car mechanic shops, over 10+ visits to all these shops. Everyone pretty much said you are out of luck. No one could figure out the problem.

    Symptoms:
    – You will accelerate and nothing will happen. Even if you floor it the car will rev, but will not move.
    – The high pitch sound is the most annoying while driving. We demonstrate this in the video.

    DO NOT BUY FROM NISSAN! HORRIBLE Car quality. Horrible Service. Only buy if you want headaches.

    Logitech G700 Gaming Mouse

    *this is the one we tested in the labs. A new version of this is out

    We did a lot of research and even though the Logitech software does not play nice with Mac. We found the gaming control center still works and we are able to use our G700.

    The reason why the Logitech G700 Gaming Laser is our top pick for performance mouse. Whether you are using it for graphic design, or gaming, or even if you just want less effort on the computer. This mouse is great.

    It has a wireless mode, or if you prefer wired mode. In the wired mode it charges the battery for you to go wireless. Out of batteries but no wire to charge it? No problem you can swap the battery for a normal double A.

    The new model design looks great, but we do miss the old sleek look better.

  • Top Iphone Cases. Which One is the Best?

    Criteria for the research was basically:

    • Slim, we do not want a bulky phone coming out of our clothes.
    • Protection, our previous case saved our phone from 3 different drops out of a car.
    • Functionality, can it double as a wallet? kick stand? What else can it do. (more…)
  • Top Gaming Mousepads

    Top Gaming Mousepads

    Trust me when we say our Battlestation is geared with the finest equipment. Yes I am running 4 monitors, SLI video cards, gaming professional keyboard equipped with LCD, professional gaming mouse with weight control. Yes my battle station is magnificent, alas something is amiss. I go for the kill in one of my popular games but what happened? My mouse fly’s away from me, was it my spasm? Did the game crash? No it was my old mouse pad slipping out from under me. I didn’t even know that was a possibility. I decided to look up the top mouse pads and I narrowed it down to these two.

    Razer Vespula Dual-Sided Gaming Mouse Mat

    Razer Vespula Dual-Sided Gaming Mouse Mat (Dark Grey)

    This mouse pad is great because you can easily swap between a smooth surface, to a slightly rougher surface if you need more precision to speed. It also comes with a wrist guard which helps me on long gaming marathon sessions. My only gripe is that the way the mouse pad looks is not that great. I feel like I want to live in the Matrix or something.

    SteelSeries 9HD Large Professional Gaming

    SteelSeries 9HD Large Professional Gaming Mouse Pad (Black)

    Now this mousepad was large and although aesthetically it looks better then the Razer counterpart. The only issue is that the mouse pad is a bit thick, our wrist found it troublesome to lay on the pad and the table. The surface material is nice for precision movement, but sometimes it was a bit restricting on movement. Also the way the texture felt, was a bit strange, reminded me of putting your nail on a nail file (okay maybe not that extreme).

    SteelSeries QcK Gaming Surface (close second)

    SteelSeries QcK Gaming Surface – Large Cloth

    The picture below I am showing my mouse and phone holder for scale.

    SteelSeries QcK Gaming Surface - Large Cloth - Best Selling Mouse Pad of All Time - Optimized For Gaming Sensors - Maximum Control

    The HUGE space this encompasses is great, you can make very large strokes and movement and not worry about leaving the mousepad. This is a great second but is essentially a large mosuepad. It doesnt have the smoothest for quicker speed, but this is great for a work environment setting not so much for gaming.

     

    Winner:

    In the end the Razer Vespula won mainly because of usability. I want the precision for my graphics, film work, audio work, 3d graphics, etc etc. And I want the smooth movement for gaming, while also protecting my wrist. The Razer provides all that and its our choice for top mousepad.
