Logitech Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800

For the longest time I’ve been a big fan of the Microsoft Media Keyboard 3000 since a keyboard built for typing not playing games. The keys have a good layout and feel to them. It’s not loaded down with extra keys for macros or LED readouts or some other feature to give me extra sniper abilities. It’s just a keyboard for people like me who do a lot of typing. Alas, the keyboard is getting hard to find and the only versions lingering around are the wireless models. Not really to put them down, but I don’t care for wireless keyboards. When I turn my computer on, I want my keyboard to be ready. I don’t want to scramble to find batteries to make the stupid thing work and then make some special trip. I’ll make a special trip for ice cream, but not for batteries for my keyboard. And when it comes to the wires cluttering my office, the […]

Why Firefox? Why do you have to look like Chrome?

I started using Firefox with version 2 and this is the time it’s made me sad. Sad and angry. First off I don’t like the new design – some sort of bastardized offspring of Chrome and IE. If I wanted a browser that looked like one of those, then I would just use one of them. What the hell was wrong with the way it looked? Just because Apple forged ahead and made that ugly-assed iOS7 and Microsoft followed it up with the even more revolting Windows 8 Metro UI doesn’t mean everyone has to follow and make apps look like complete and utter garbage. I noticed the same UI change in Xilisoft last night. It was perfectly fine the way it was, and now it’s been converted over to castoff Easter pastel colors. For heaven’s sake, stop messing with the damn UI! Anyway, Firefox looks horrible now. Couple that with the latest news of how they plan to implement […]

Shooters Gun Shoppe Limited Time Building (LTB) Payout and Upgrade Costs – Crime City

Just when we thought it wasn’t going to happen a brand new Limited Time Building (LTB) hits the streets. This time it’s the Shooter’s Gun Shoppe. The initial cost is a hefty $100 million, pretty close to the previous Tsar’s Teahouse. Unfortunately, the payout is nowhere near as good. The initial payout is $657,895 versus $1,653,000 and final payout of $19,736,850 versus $49,590,000. Curse the bad luck. Good news it’s a small building with a 4×4 footprint and 12H collection time. If you want to go all the way this one it’ll cost you a touch over $25 billion. If you have some modifiers you might be able skate by for a mere $12 billion. It won’t be cheap no matter where you’re standing. The prize for each level is Shooter’s Special (26,786A / 14,423D) +1% Gun Attack So, now that’s it’s available what’s the best course of action? Do you forge ahead and upgrade this rascal for it’s prizes […]

The Unknown and Unnamed Limited Time Building (LTB) from Crime City

Well, it’s been a couple of days since the battle ended and yet we see no new LTB as we have come to expect. For many this has lead to the gnashing of teeth and shaking of fists at the heavens. And perhaps a few choice words not quite repeatable in mixed company. But I take the hiatus as a good thing. I have far too many Level 1 and Level 2 buildings lingering all over my hood. A month to working on and upgrading those buildings would be very beneficial. I could certainly use the Defense boost from the Beach house and when that’s done I wouldn’t mind going back and perhaps upgrading the Shiner’s Still, the Chop Shop or even taking another stab at the Tsar’s Teahouse. It would be nice to have a little recovery time between those billion dollar upgrades. So don’t look at this delay as a bad thing, think of it as a way […]

Crime City soils it’s britches in the final hour of the Russian Rumble

Wouldnt you know it, we get down to the final hour and last battle and the entire game comes crumbling down on itself. Right as we get ready to Declare Battle, the game hits maintenance mode and kicks everyone out. Didn’t we do this last month? Oh Gree, what are you cats thinking? One member of the syndicate spent a couple of vaults to get the final prize only to get shut out. I think there will be hell to pay!
