It makes it more challenging and less trivial to just pick one a day per person. And just to say, anything publicly historical, whatever category (i.e. politics, music, video games etc etc etc). Anything you can personally dump an opinion on or related to, historical and on the date. hah history vs history, lots of opportunities for quality trollings here!

Carpal tunnel syndrome, anyone? I hate these things. Get yourself a trackball!

Funny thing. I used a track ball back when I played cs source and was better than the vast majority of non hackers. Even managed to kill Chewbacca, who would run games with autoaim, super speed, and a few other hacks

Yeah, as an FPS player, I swear by them. Not only better quick frag count, but I can go longer with them, all day in fact. So rather than my frags slumping from fatigue when performance should be improving, I see an increasing performance curve as I warm up and tune-in with the trackball without the fatigue ruining that. I'm not into thumb drives, but the centered ones give me index-finger control and my middle finger keeps my orientation centered from the side, and useful for big sweeps.

hah big sweeps with a mouse when fatigued, sometimes slip and bounce off against the wall [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
