Tech Review: Monitor Audio Speakers

Big Fat Tech Review Something To Write Home About I own a couple of different pairs of Monitor Audio Speakers. A set of GS60's as mains and a pair of Radius 225's as surrounds. Both are simply amazing hooked up to my Yamaha RX-V2700 . Monitor Audio knows how to make speakers that crank out some awesome sound. I got the 225's to replace my old surrounds (a pair of Boston Acoustics CR6's) and wow what a difference. The clear difference in having these hooked up while watching a movie is astounding. They absolutely compliment my GS60's, being more like an extension of the 60's as opposed to separate speakers. Subtle effects now pop as they should and background music is clear and crisp, but not overpowering. The first month I had these I got freaked out more than once. The funniest incident was when I was watching Horton Hears a W ho. I had gotten up to get something without stopping the movie and as I came back into the room past the right surroun

Pickled Sausage Recipe

My Big Fat Stomach Mmmm Pickled Meats Okay I'll admit that picture above is not appetizing, but if you like pickled meats you'll look past that. What I'm talking about is Big Mamas, Tijuana Mamas, Fire Cracker Red Hots, etc. Oh yeah that's the stuff, with the spicy pickled taste of meat you love. Basically it's a pickled hot dog with a lot of hot sauce on it. So I had a hankering and decided to make my own batch. I patched together a few recipes and this is what I came up with. 3 c. white vinegar 1 c. water 2 tsp. salt 2 tsp. pickling spice 6 bay leaves 1/2 cup of pickle juice if you have it on hand Dried (or 2 tsp. grated) red peppers or a bunch of hot sauce, the more the hotter 2 Package of hot dogs or sausages Cut the hot dogs in half or quarters length wise and set aside. Boil everything but the hot dogs. Again NOT the hot dogs. You will need an empty jar or jars with lids (I used two old 24oz pickle jars). Put the dogs

Tech Review - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Sniper Mouse

My Big Fat Tech Not Just For Snipers I bought this mouse to play Battlefield 3 on my new gaming rig. What struck me first about this mouse was the size of it. It is quite literally a "honking big" mouse. This really threw me at first. I've had a lot of different mice down through the years and this was by far the biggest. At first I really even doubted if I could play with it, but surprisingly after a few hours I adjusted to the size. I also found my game improving as I adapted to the ability to change DPI on the fly. I primarily use LMG in games play. I'm not a sniper, I loathe snipers in FPS games. So even though I was using this for LMGs I found it a great advantage to go from high DPI in close quarters to lower DPI over medium/long distances. It truly feels like an unfair edge in game play. Of course programmable buttons are great and I keyed these up to my knife attack and grenade throw. I found even outside of game play, when browsing or doing
