Just a quick post (I'm still trying to beat those high scores!)
Headed off to Japan in a few days - if you want us to pick up something, let us know!

The return of B3!
Super Hexagon
Bemani Beast Brian awakes! Haha, it's no surprise for you to come in and stomp high scores, but I'm learning...
Hexagon 86:38
Hexagoner 65:50
Hexagonest 16:37
Hexagon Hyper Mode 32:09
Hexagoner Hyper Mode 22:02
I'm actually pretty hooked on this game. It's the first one I've played at length on my own since Braid. BTW for a few more days it's just $0.99.
Slow Blog/RSS
Guess Brian and I are the only ones on RSS (I assume you haven't been visiting this blog periodically over the last 14 months) and mourning the upcoming loss of Google Reader? Any experience with Feedly/NewsBlur/The Old Reader? I saw the Lifehacker writeup on alternatives but haven't checked em out yet.
Keyboards
That keyboard video is on some hard-core gamer geekdom; respect! What makes a good gaming vs. typing keyboard? Extra customizable keys? Rage-smash resilience? Surely not those arrow labels, since I assume pro gamers never look down at their gear. I guess it's probably about the spring action and how it affects feel, and response rate? More of a click than a squish?
Once I switched to Macs I fell in love with the quiet, slim keyboard design; I like that I can type in relative silence. I still prefer the full-size version but I've been working off just my laptop for so long that I've gotten used to these stupid tiny arrows and fn button. But now I'm curious about these mechanicals. I could stand to improve on accuracy. Do they squeeze a version of that technology in laptops?
