Behind the Graphics: A Video Game Industry Round Table

On Saturday I sat in on a game industry round table where Allen Turner, lead game designer at Wideload Games, moderated.  The panel of local game developers gave a behind the scenes look at what developers do and how to get hired as one.

Razer's SWTOR Gaming Keyboard

If you're wondering where to blow a huge chunk of your tax return, we may have an answer for you.  Despite its sleek design and impressive look, I find this peripheral comes at too high a cost ($249).  It boasts many of the same features of other gaming keyboards such as the ability to key bind on the go, use multiple keys at the same time, and display your in game stats.  The way in which this particular keyboard sets itself apart however, is the inclusion of a multifunction tactile LCD screen which can display your faction logo, act as a media player, and act as a multi-touch gesture pad for navigation in game.  Other perks are listed for those who have a Star Wars: The Old Republic account including both a unique lightsaber color crystal and a discount of 10% on a total purchase exceeding $100.  If you are interested in purchasing, or want more information regarding specs, they can be found on Razer's website.  As amazing as it looks, for me it comes at too high a price.  Let us know what you think by posting a comment below or writing us at mailbag@progressivelyaggressive.com.
