While controlling shooters on the PC is made easier by the precision of the mouse

INSIDE (INSIDEjp) [Twitter] [Pic]”While controlling shooters on the PC is made easier by the precision of the mouse, that's not enough for some people. Some people want it even easier than that. For them, there is the Dragon Gaming Speech Pack.It's a replica Corum 285-180-20-0F71-FM40R Men's watch piece of software that allows people to issue commands to supported games using their voice, the theory being that by replacing keyboard shortcuts and certain button presses with voice control you'll save both time and effort.That's the theory, at any rate; the clip below makes the whole thing look both confusing and tedious.

The Dragon Gaming Speech Pack supports games like Mass Effect 2, World of Warcraft, Modern Ware 2 and Starcraft 2, though strangely, anyone buying the pack for $75 won't get universal support, as they can only select three games to receive speech recognition.Hope you're so lazy that you don't play more than three games![via Big Download]”Internet cafes dot the Japanese urban landscape and offer a moment of pause for regular replica Corum 285-180-20-0F71-EB40R Men's watch folks. Ditto for criminals.Sure, internet cafes in Japan have game consoles and DVD players, but they also have showers and private rooms with big reclining chairs for customers to crash on. One chain called “Manboo” even has a nail salon.

They're so great, you wonder why people don't just go ahead and live in them. They do.There are even words in Japanese to describe those who live in internet cafes: “net cafe nanmin” (literally, “net cafe refugee”) and “cyber-homeless”. Many cafes charge around the equivalent of US$20 a night, including free online, manga, DVD, TV and fizzy drinks.”Net cafes, which are open to anyone at low cost, have been the place where people who replica Corum 285-150-20-B100-EB40R Men's watch were hard up could muddle along until they found a job and made some money,” Hitomi Nishimura, a writer covering the homeless situation, tells Japan Today. And internet cafes traditionally do not require forms of identification when checking in; however, that is changing.The anonymity makes them attractive not just to salarymen hoping to catch some extra zzz's or read their favorite manga in peace, but also for those on the lam.
