Server Problems
Sorry the last few days we have had server problems, and Rediscussed had been suspended for a few hours, due to the high volume of traffic the site is receiving. We managed to switch to an old shared hosting server that i had only a small amount of bandwidth left.
This mean’t the site had to be switched over again to a new host. It is now hosted with Key Space Hosting and will be up 99.9% of the time.
So back on track we will be able to provide more game updates, crysis tips, and our rss updates are now online again.

New Razer Mouse? Razer product March 2008
New Razer Product March 2008
Received an email today stating speed-of-the-light.com
It reads more details to come on the 4th of March! Do you think they have a new razer mouse in store for us?
Heres an image from their site:
If razer are releasing a new mouse for us We’ll definitely know soon, if you go onto their site you can put in your email address and be the first to know what they are doing.
I’ll be surprised if its a brand new mouse as they have made so many expensive mice in a small amount of time.
The speed of the light is most probably referring to either the infrared or laser that a mouse has. Considering their fastest 1000Hz Ultrapolling / 1ms response time mouse at the moment is Razer Precision with 3G Laser :
4000dpi Razer Precision 3G Laserâ„¢ sensor
The Razer Lachesis â„¢ reigns supreme with a true 4000dpi 3G Laserâ„¢ sensor, which enables movement speeds of 5 times that of a standard 800dpi optical sensor. View the Razer 3G Laser white paper
I wonder how fast the new mouse will let you move. If it is a new mouse…
Edge10 H170 LCD Monitor Review
Edge10 H170 Design
Well take a look, the vivid screen image looks great. The frame in silver yes this is nothing special we’ve seen a silver frame before, it looks pretty simplistic and the buttons are in the bottom right of the H170 LCD monitor.
Stand hm… now this isn’t very impressive either when you recieve a brand new one of these the stand is easily fixable to the screen itself. There is a hole in the stand which a clip on the bottom of the screens stem will clip into. this is pretty secure. but is very hard to take off and pack away.
The Good
This screen is simple and the frame is small for maximum view. Sound is included as 2 x 2w stereo. The stand takes up minimal room and the screen itself is not bad to look at.
The Bad
Okay a point about these Edge10 screens I’ve had 5 of these and 3 of them have been replaced under warranty because the power was not working on them, the problem was not with my power but something was wrong with the screens. The serial numbers were something close e.g 1110, 1111, 1112. So it probably was a bad batch (let me know if you have similar problems). As i mentioned earlier the stand is hard to decompile. The sound is quite tinny.
Edge10 H170 Specification
Screen Size: 17″
Resolution : 1280 x 1024
Type : Stunning Design (aparrently, looks pretty simplistic to me)
Audio : 2 x 2W - Stereo
Features : DVI Input
Colour : Silver Black
Should i buy one?
If your looking for a screen just to replace an old crt monitor or a broken screen then yes, they are cheap and won’t break your bank. If you are looking for something a bit more upto date and more stable.. longer lasting go for something else.
Finding Aztec Crysis Trailer i made a while ago. Its my tribute to the first guy that died on crysis that didn’t play much part in the game!
Feeling sorry for Aztec I’ve made him his own remembrance video.
This Little Trailer was created in 3rd person view on crysis 1.
