My SteelSeries Siberia USB Soundcard Review

Finally another review! Well technically its not even a new product but screw that I bought it and so I want to write about it.
I have to admit I never actually had any problems with my laptop's soundcard but the audiophile in me took over and tadaaa the usb soundcard.


Pros

  • 7.1 virtual surround sound - Awesome for movies. LOTR and Matrix. Just sounded amazing!
  • small, sturdy and lightweight
  • Wire is fairly long - good for gamers at computer cafes. 
  • Volume control & Mute buttons on it.




Cons
  • It's incredibly loud - Yes this can be a problem as well. Volume at 1 and its still loud on my headphones. So you have to go through the trouble of turning every application volume down.
  • Sometimes the connection between the wire and the card comes off pretty easily. Could be a Pro or a Con. 





I actually really like the soundcard. It adds more fullness to sounds and definitely more bass for those bass heavy songs. Playing games with it is a hell lot more creepier since you hear stuff behind you while running around and movie watching is just a total blast!

Is it worth the price of it? Pretty sure it's not but heck if you watch a lot of movies on your laptop then this could be one of those experience enhancing devices.

I Rate Thee - 7/10


No Matter how much I like it, I still think it's pretty overpriced.

Zombie Walk Plattsburgh 2012

Hey all!


Sorry for the overly long lack of posting for the past many many many months. As some of you may know, I'm currently studying overseas and well I'm pretty much in a small town where nothing much really actually happens.

Anyways back to the post, its currently Zombie Walk month, where people dress as zombies and they walk around in groups just to have some fun. Yes apparently its fun. Not putting my camera to waste, I went out there with my camera. Will just tell you some tips on how I snapped some of the pics.

*Camera
*Wide angle lens preferably
*External flash with diffuser
*A whole lot of running.




Set the camera to manual Mode. I used ISO 1000, Shutter was set at 1/100 but it will change based on the amount of light available, Aperature at f8 and the flash was set at half power. I only decided to play around with the flash and shutter as I felt that it was easier that way and faster too. Flash head was pointed towards the people obviously.

That's pretty much it. Have fun!





Just remember that since you are looking out for zombies, having normal looking parents or people walking in your picture would make it look out of place.





Very sorry about the picture placing. Blogger changed and I'm not very sure about the new layout.
