Yay! Razer knew exactly
what to send this Canadian boy. Right before winter to go
with my new toque, mukluks and snowshoes, they sent me some
earmuffs! I'm unsure why they have a string attached to
them, but maybe they figure I might lose them.
And I'm done perpetrating that
Canadian myth for today. In all seriousness, Razer has some busy
beavers working for them, releasing new products faster than a tuned
up snowmobile (ok, ok I'm done!).
Just within the last few weeks,
they've announced a new mouse partnered with
Microsoft , they are also working on of all things, a soundcard!
By anyone's standard, the soundcard market is not exactly rolling in
competition , so I think its a very gutsy move on their part.
They have even gone so far as to name the project,
Project STFU
– It'll be ready when it's ready
* STFU now stands for ,
"Sound (Triangulation and Positioning) Field Ultima".
, who knew? ;)
As a precursor/partner to their
upcoming soundcard, the "Razer Barracuda AC1"; they have released
the "Razer Barracuda HP1" gaming headphones. Razer has been so kind
as to let me check the headphones out on their own. Before I
continue, I'll point out the one sort of obvious quirk I'm not too
fond of. Both the headphones, and the soundcard are called the
"Razer Barracuda". The reasoning for this, apparently, is that they
are calling the two of them together the "Razer
Barracuda™ Integrated Audio System". But if you can buy one or the
other, I think it just makes things more complicated.
Look ma'
STATS! Woot!
