Introduction
If you have read some of my reviews and articles, you may have noticed that I have a certain affinity for Rockabilly. Not just the music, but the styles that go with it. Gas jockey shirts and jeans, engineer boots, tats, Sonny Burgess on the radio and fast showy cars that don’t handle worth a damn. It somewhat goes into all things 50s, I just like the campiness of it all. Everything was exaggerated, especially the cars. Big fins, chrome everywhere and the birth of the “hot rod”. While there were a fair share that were falling apart, the goal was always to show as much as go.

Introduction
Some fans of mixed-martial arts probably do not remember, or maybe are not aware of, what the sport was like in the mid-90s. Back when UFC started, for example, the rules were very limited and it wasn't as much a sport as it was a free-for-all. It took several years of refinement before it gained mainstream acceptance. Despite the detractors, it eventually found a core group of enthusiasts who saw great potential in the sport and supported it until its presence, influence and importance became undeniable.

Introduction
I've had the DVD of Mass Effect 3 sitting on my desk for several weeks now and have yet to install it. All the positive and negative hype surrounding the game aside, I just don't feel like playing another supposed PC game where the controls are geared and simplified for gamepad usage. After hearing my friend describe his Mass Effect 3 gaming experience as "press spacebar times N", I really didn't feel like taking time for the game anymore. There is something about playing with a keyboard and mouse that makes the gaming experience much more immersive to me. The controls are often much more precise as well and it is disheartening to see some PC game developers completely forget that a lot of players still use their keyboards to play.

Introduction
Mistakes happen, but it’s you who has the choice to either learn from them or possibly risk making the same mistake again. Many times mistakes happen due to lack of research or an act of impulse. A few years ago I purchased a car only to find out that three months later the newer model was totally redesigned and came standard with navigation for only a few hundred dollars more. That purchase was what I call a double, I not only made an impulse buy (the trunk has a pass through, perfect for my fishing gear) but failed to research enough to know that a total redesign would be available in a very short time.

Introduction
Nobody laments the demise of the beige computer chassis but, for the most part, the lack of alternative color options available for current cases is equally depressing. The color choices available are mostly black and white. The latter, thankfully, gaining popularity with the massive success of the NZXT Phantom case, which pretty much set the trend. Not to be left out, other manufacturers have also begun offering white, snow and even "albino" editions of their product line to stay competitive.
