PC Peripherals I Have Liked, Am Using

Monitor: Samsung (I have liked Viewsonic, LG, Benq, others in the past)
Speakers: Using None (I have liked Creative Labs, Koss, Sony, Logitech, others in the past)
Keyboard: Logitech - I think K120, some inexpensive board, it has soft, quiet keys though, I like that (I have liked Microsoft, Logitech, Gigabyte, others in the past)
Mouse: Logitech G600 - for da'buttonz! heh. G500 is good too, and more comfortable (I have liked Logitech, Gigabyte, Red Dragon, others in past)
Headphones: Kingston Cloud series - alpha I think, great bass/treble and around-the-ear fit (I have liked Creative Labs, Sony, Kingston, others in the past)
**Note - I have not, and will not, be compensated by any of the companies above for mentioning them here in this list; I am merely an enthusiastic user of Gaming/PC products and will use the other brands again in the future

Who Are You In Games?

For those wondering, when I do Game Recording, take Screenshots, or just play and collect Data, I always change my in-game name once in a while, or use one that is 'me' - but noone really knows is 'The Blog'.

The reason why is, I've noticed that when I record with a name that is too obvious, such as "Game Tips And More Blog" or some version of that, people 'act differently'... This is a normal human 'on camera' trait, of course; but I wish to try capture 'the true essence' of the gameplay experience when I record gameplay or take screens - the experience that others would see, if they were gaming [if online, then capturing it how not a lot of people would know them] - so, although it may be nice to say 'hello' or be 'greeted' once in a while... unfortunately for those wondering when or where I'll be recording at a certain time, or what my name will be in a specific game; it will not be obvious... Sorry, eh - I think this makes for more 'interesting' footage though, too - it's 'real'! It's 'raw'! [Hmm.. I wonder if this is how Journalists or Documentarists (Documentarians?) think - I am definitely not putting myself in 'their League' - but it is curious to me now..].

Moved This Button To Here

I used to have this higher up on the Blog, but I don't think it properly reflected my reason for starting this site - I didn't start this site only to make a few dollars, I only added it because I learned that it was perhaps possible to make a few dollars for pizza or other little treats. Before I started this Blog, I was a Security Officer in the past, an IT Support Personnel, and eventually an IT Instructor, helping others prepare for their IT Certifications, being a Gamer all along the way! I have always wanted to help others, and I always seemed to choose occupations that would do so - and I will continue to do so, despite becoming ill. I enjoy helping out - and the main thing here is the information within and that it might help someone, not this. Thus, this button is now down here instead of at the top... If you found my information useful and can Donate towards ordering a pizza someday, great. If you cannot, I still hope that you find my information useful, or that my findings have helped you in some way. I really do. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you find something that helped you, no matter what. Take care. ~Troy from The Game Tips And More Blog
