Mad Catz has released numerous versions of their FightPads throughout the years. These included ones for Street Fighter IV; ones for Super Street Fighter IV; and ones for WWE All Stars, although those were called BrawlPads. For Street Fighter X Tekken, they have made a new reincarnation, the FightPad S.D.. One of the 2 major differences between the FightPad S.D. and older FightPads is that both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions are wired. This made me happy when I found out, because traditionally only the 360 versions have been wired, while the PS3 ones have been wireless and run on 2 AA batteries. But no more!

As I previously said, I got my iPad for my job. Being in a wheelchair, you'd think I would be able to rest a laptop or iPad on your lap and have it be stable, right? Wrong. Even reclined, it isn't stable, and when I move, it can potentially fall. This wasn't going to work, because I'm using my iPad as a communication device, so it needs go be out while I move. To rectify this problem, I was looking at adaptive solutions, like wheelchair trays, but those are too bulky and cumbersome. I then remembered a product that ThinkGeek carries called the Connect-A-Desk. The aptly-named Connect-A-Desk is a fairly straight-forward product that has a hard plastic tray with straps connected to it by clips that you put your head and arms through. The straps are adjustable via standard loops found on any bag. I have found it easier to put it on with one strap unclipped.

Persona 4 was released for the PlayStation 2 on 2008.07.10 in Japan, and 2008.12.09 in North America (and 2009.03.13 in Europe). This became one of my favorite PS2 games, and because of this, when I first heard that there was going to be an anime series, I was really excited. However, I was also cautious due to the fact that there was previously an anime series based on Persona 3, entitled Persona -Trinity Soul-, which ended up being nothing like what we were hoping for, in a bad way. The P4 anime has premiered already -- in Japan anyway -- and how is it? One night while we were watching Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete together, Tanya said that more Final Fantasy games should be made into movies or such, for those who don't want to play a 50+ hour game. While not Final Fantasy, this is exactly what Persona 4 The Animation is -- a retelling of the game's story, in anime series form, without all the level-grinding.

As technology becomes more and more powerful, it's becoming more important to protect your investment. However, while touchscreen tablets are getting more popular, they lack one major thing: a physical keyboard. With that said, ThinkGeek has come to the rescue yet again, selling iPad cases that come with Bluetooth keyboards built in, namely the ZAGGmate Aluminum iPad Keyboard Case, and the Bluetooth Keyboard Case for iPad.

I first heard of Bunraku back in early 2008, when it was announced that GACKT would be in it. I didn't expect the film to be out until the following year, so I put off my excitement until 2009. However, even that year passed with little news about the movie, as did most of 2010. Bunraku finally made its western premiere in September of 2010, at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Ideals can vary from person to person -- For some, marriage can be a scary thing. In fact, in this day and age, more and more people are opting not to get married, for whatever reason. What are your thoughts on marriage? Do you want to get married? Or do you not want to get married? Although the answer ultimately is different depending on who you ask, this is one of life's big questions nonetheless, and it's also the main theme of Atlus's new XBox 360 and Playstation 3 game, Catherine.

Third-party video game controllers, while inexpensive alternatives to first-party ones, can be a crap-shoot as far as quality goes. Some are well-made and reliable, while others break easily. Even so, they keep being produced. So what category does the Mad Catz WWE All Stars Brawl Pad fall into? In 2009, Mad Catz started shipping Street Fighter IV Fight Pads, controllers specifically designed to be used to play Street Fighter IV. In 2010, another batch was shipped, this time for Super Street Fighter IV. While made for WWE All Stars, the Brawl Pad is the newest incarnation.

An extra monitor can always come in handy. You can set other windows or folders to the extra monitor, you can use it for your media player, or just generally get rid of the clutter on your main monitor. ThinkGeek has been selling Lilliput Mini USB Monitors, but do they serve their purpose well or not? Lilliput Electronics Co., Ltd is the bestselling Chinese brand of mini LCD application in Europe, North America and Southeast Asia and other areas. With branches all over the world, Lilliput has relations with multiple educational institutions. In 2001, Lilliput Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd was set up as an independent scientific research institution specializing in LCD display, embedded computer systems, among other things, as well as development of relevant software applications.

Recorders are an integral part of a journalist’s repertoire, regardless of whether or it it’s audio or video. However, students also utilize them for notes and lectures. Much like any other piece of technology, the size of the recorders has gone down drastically. Nowadays, you can get them as small as a business card or flash drive. ThinkGeek now sells an USB Digital Voice Recorder, but how does it fare? My interest in the USB Digital Voice Recorder came about after thinking of going back to school, as well as the idea of maybe doing audio interviews. The former is the main reason I wanted this device, as audio interviews might be tricky for me, although I have some ideas on how to accomplish them.

Regardless of whether or not we want to admit it, we all have different faces we put on to deal with different events that occur in our lives. For example, you might choose to keep your mouth shut while you're getting yelled at, rather than yelling back. How would you deal with a friend who has just been dumped? Or how about a fellow track team member who made a promise to their little cousin but is having difficulty keeping the promise, thanks to life? How you go about handling such things, what face you put on to do so, is your Persona. This is one of the core elements of Atlus’s PlayStation Portable (PSP) role-playing game (RPG), Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable (P3P).
