    Hallensteins clothing. Didn't like the quality of any of the items and the sizing seemed to be too large on all of them too.

    • Agreed. Despite all the positive comments, I also found quality and sizing off.
      The merino wool jumpers were way too thin

    • I bought chinos from them a few years ago - still staying good fit and look great.

    Steelseries Apex RAW 500 for $41 (including delivery? cant' memba).

    Basically it's shit. I wasn't sold on the idea of keyboards making a big difference but I am now after my spelling and gaming became significantly worse after using this keyboard.

    Steelseries are worse than Razor as far as peripheral design. Worse than regular office brand products, probably because most of the design money was spent on working out how to best shine piercing lights into your eyes in case you forget the brand name of your keyboard in the middle of your FPS gameplay. The rest of the money is presumably spent on marketing to idiots (such as myself :P

      Personally an old 486 mechanical keyboard runs rings around the "crap" these companies release today

      The best part was I had about 200 of those oldschool AT styled 5 pin DIN mechanical keyboards which are now worth a "fortune" because people understand how good they are and the quality was second to none

      Still going strong and thats from years and years of use and abuse

      (I still also have my IBM 80/286 and a 486 66mhz running to this day - Playing old school games naturally)

    All those unplayed games from the various sales throughout the year. :(
    I'll get to them, honest. Hey, look! A sale!

    • Games, games, games. I don't spend money on them but it costs time. I would trade some of the time for some of the 1950+ steam games collected last year.

    • I've never understood people payimg to collect games they won't play.. Does it matter if it's 90% off?

    • that was hilarious

  • Bluray player. It's decent, but I didn't expect the TV to break and if I knew I'd get a new TV, I would've gone for Xbox One S instead.
