info:
it's the project of freddieW, (freddie wong) arguably one of the top stars/channel in youtube (imo it sucks)
what's important is that the star of it is a Model M.
[video=youtube;1JqR3GVqib4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JqR3GVqib4[/video]
however, if you watch the video you soon figure out that the Model M is supposed to be the poster child equivalent of "poor man's gaming", or basically the old budget crap... now the mouse, sure that's some old logitech ball mouse i guess... but the Model M?
the second video is even more egregious,
[video=youtube;JDO6dF6O7yM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDO6dF6O7yM[/video]
at one point in the video we even see the Model M, either get stuck or not responding to a keypress...
then at the very end of the video, some kid is able to crack it in half, yes we have all seen how a Model M can survive most anything, but a kid can crack it in half.
not only that but gamepads are touted as awesome...
some stuff i know,
freddiew, can actually type accurate and fast, even uses a blackwidow, so i don't think he is oblivious to mechs vs. rubberdomes, anyway these 2 vids should make any GH'r angry face.

i like freddie's videos.
can't say im a fan of this series.
and the model m was the first things i noticed too lol
-
watching it again i think the "pro gaming" stuff is probably gonna be anything razer, since the razer n52 and razer mamba? are featured, razer is probably a sponsor.
-
Agree, these video are so cool with freddiew
-
eps 3 and 4 are out, now it's just a total razer peripheral love fest.

There's no way that was a real Model M. Must have been a cheap prepackaged Dell board or something when they filmed it.
Also, who plays any PC games with just a gamepad and a mouse?
