It’s not everyday you see Mickey Mouse in a dance competition doing breakdancing . I have to admit, the kid in the green shirt certainly had the moves, but I think the guy in the Mickey suit probably would’ve smoked him if it weren’t for his gigantic head.
At the time I recorded the footage for this review, the SteelSeries.com website really was down. I wasn’t kidding… I wasn’t able to review the usage of the mouse until I was able to get the software necessary to program the additional mouse buttons. That’s why there wasn’t any review of me actually using the mouse.
There was another thing I realized after I finished putting the video review together. The button on the right side of the mouse is actually one of those double clicker buttons (kind of like the volume or channel buttons would be on your remote.) When I was checking out the mouse, I didn’t hear a clicking sound when I clicked on the upper end of that button… My mistake. So technically, the mouse has 17 buttons; if you also include clicking down on the scroller as a button.
Sven Rollenhagen, author of the report that came from the Sweden Youth Care Foundation had declared World of Warcraft being the most dangerous game on the market.
Rollanhagen said:
“There is not a single case of game addiction that we have worked with in which World of Warcraft has not played a part.” It is the crack cocaine of the computer gaming world. Some people are literally unable to drag themselves away and will play it till they drop.”
The Swedish National Institute of Public Health agrees with Rollenhagen’s report also saying “Computer game addiction is becoming more widespread in Sweden and across the world. There is no known medical diagnosis of conditions brought on by excessive game-playing, but it is clear they have a very powerful addictive hold over many people use [I think they meant play] them.”
The foundation said in 2007 it received 2,000 calls to its addiction helpline. From that number, 170 calls were in regards to computer gaming. There was no additional detail as to what game(s) were the culprit.
Last February, a 15 year old Swedish boy playing World of Warcraft collapsed and went into convulsions. His family rushed him into the hospital where doctors diagnosed an epileptic-type seizure brought on from sleep deprivation, lack of food, and too long a stretch for concentrated game playing. The boy did make a full recovery, and now his father has launched a campaign to warn other parents of the dangers of marathon game sessions.
First of all I think the real question is, why in the hell are his parents letting him play the game that long? I mean c’mon, I don’t think it takes a doctor or scientist to realise something is wrong with their kid when they’re sitting on the computer for half a day or whatever. Clearly he’s addicted. It’s their fault for not addressing the issue sooner.

As there is no official artwork of Harvey, one can only imagine what he would actually look like.
As I continue to browse through my old Phil Hendrie archives, I came across yet another classic Phil Hendrie clip.
In this clip, Harvey Wireman calls in after destroying the rear bottom end of his Cadillac after he ran over a parking brick. He claims that when we went to park his car, there was no parking brick placed where his car was, yet when he came back, there it was.
He also commented on a group called “Mother Against Illegal Aliens.” He’s pissed off at the fact that any group that has “Mothers Against —” in the beginning of the name of their group, you’re automatically classified as a Nazi if you ever question the groups motives.
He continues on claiming that the “Mothers Against Drunk Driving” group is one that he cannot stand because he believes that not everybody has a low tolerance to alcohol. He continues on saying that he has no problem driving home drunk, as he’s never hit anyone… Yet.
Just listen to the clip, it’s pretty amusing.

Love Tips from Kobe Bryant
Here’s another classic flashback from the Phil Hendrie show.
This “Kobe Bryant Love Tips” segment was on air the day after the first segment.
Plus it’s an excuse for me to once again link this awesome picture.
