I hate that one. Food eat through so much money.

Its litterly burning money and then burying it in the ground.

Tab sheet-creating program. Cost me $20. Asked for refund - no answer. There goes my $20 - hope they drop dead.

Logitech G900 gaming mouse. $149 for a high-tech paperweight.

At launch, the G900 seemed like the ultimate high-tech gaming mouse. And the reviews seemed to back that up. It had the best of everything and Logitech's fabled build quality.

So why, after two months, am I collecting my new Swiftpoint mouse on Thurday?

Simply put the build quality was apalling for a $149 mouse. The plastics were cheap and creaky, even in my light hands. The buttons rattled and the mouse feet dragged like nails on a blackboard.

Two weeks ago the sensor started going, and then on Friday it keeled over dead. The only possible silver lining is that I've been able to refund it. But I'm genuinely ticked off about this, and won't ever buy or recommend a Logitech product again.

Back in the gameboy color days the worm lights for it were sooooo bad.

And the over priced printer. The gameboy camera was pretty useless (But atleast it had minigames).

Nah. It was a tiny thing, about the size of a Harmonica or something lol. The device I was using to hook it up to was drawing way too much power from it, so it went up in flames. I know now not to cheap out on stuff like this.

These things are so cheap that they dont have a regulator. XD

No refund??

That's sucks, I hope you never run into such a thing again.

I know I should've known better...

That's sound pretty bad coming from a mouse

There is one thing I'm really, really grateful for. And that's the fact it keeled over so obligingly while we're still in January. Another few weeks and I wouldn't be able to refund it!

I've been jaded with mainstream gaming peripherals for a while now. It's a stagnant industry.

There's no competition or innovation, most companies are happy churning out mice and keyboards that look identical, and even share the same pool of basic components. All the keyboards have the same Cherry MX switches, all the mice are Pixart or Avago sensors with Omron microswitches and the same basic PCB. The grips and shapes are identical, they're all Red with Black and the expensive ones all have RGB lighting by the same company.

This latest mess was all I needed to convince me to leave. I've ordered a Swiftpoint Z to replace the dead G900. It may look like something a Helghast would use, but at least it's a quality product and pushing the industry forward through innovative design.

Lots of things, but one comes to mind presently. It was a bottle of scented shampoo from a couple of really hot girls at the mall. I had just graduated boot camp, and was about as fit as I was ever going to be. And as all stupid boots know, women love Marines. It's mostly true, but you've got to watch out for witch ones.

So there I was, enjoying some civilian life and amenities, when not one, but two California beauties come over to talk to me. I knew something was amiss immediately, but I didn't want to believe it. Why would two girls dressed in suspisciously matching outfits both come to me at the same time? Natural testosterone-fueled conclusion: they are bisexual havens of delight. How could they be anything else?

As it turned out, the poor girls were starting their own business, and all they could afford was one little stand in the mall. But they loved the looks of me, and wanted to know if I could offer them tips on how to improve their service. I swear it was like the BioShock Infinite scene where you first get "Posession."

I ended up admitting that I didn't know how to help them, but agreed to paying $15.00 for a shampoo they picked because it made me smell "delicious" according to them. They even asked for my phone number, and like a fool, I gave it to them.

It took me the better part of an hour to walk it off and begin to realize that I had just been played. When I got back to the base, I told my platoon Sergeant about it. Were these the "townies" he had been warning us about?

Yes. Yes they were. A whole town of people optimized towards preying on the stupidity of jar-heads. They never called me, and I was mercilessly ridiculed for being the stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥ with an expensive bottle of "Strawberry Mint" shampoo. To my credit, it did smell pretty good, and I eventually managed to trade it for a clean sock. You'd be surprised how valuable those can be at times. No worries, though, ridicule is kind of a currency among Marines. I wasn't the only one to make a stupid purchase. At least I didn't buy a *****ing car at superb interst rates.

The moral of the story is this: beware being an idiot and thinking with a hard head.
