Our Product Evangelist, Hilmar Hahn, is a massive fan of lists. He makes lists of his favourite foods (which he updates daily), Team Fortress 2 hats and even has a list of which list is his favourite among all. Some times he does it at work which he shouldn’t because we pay him to work, not to make lists. Of course he decided to throw a hissy fit and throw replacement mouse feet at us (this is no. 2 on his list of things to do when he gets into a hissy fit) when we told him that .

However this time, his penchant for cataloging things has been put to good use. As one of the main men responsible for the Razer Onza and with the recent release of the updated Xbox 360 controller, Hilmar decided that he wanted to share with the world why he feels that the Razer Onza kicks major butt. To be specific, the new Xbox 360 controller’s butt.

So here we go:

1. The Razer Onza is $49.99. The MS Xbox controller is $65. ‘Nuff said.

2. The Razer Onza’s analog control sticks are resistance adjustable (and extra concave!) while the MS is only…concave..ish.

3. The Razer Onza has 2 Extra Multi-function buttons to pwn with and fully programmable too. No aimbot or rapid-fire though, sorry noobs, this part you’ll have to do yourself.

4. The Razer Onza’s buttons are uber clicky. (harder, better, faster, stronger – sorry Daft Punk). Clicking the MS controller is still like clicking mashed potatoes.

5. The Razer Onza’s uber-ergonomic (can you say ubernomic?) trigger design – now with new improved wider, more concave curves! Gets rid of all stains too (actually, no it doesn’t).

6. The smell of smokin’ rubber – the surface of the Razer Onza is rubberized. None of that plasticky shitty feeling.

7. The Razer Onza D-Pad is already optimized. None of that schizo shifting crap like the MS controller.

8. It gets you laid. Not really. It just looks awesome like any Razer design. So awesome it’s almost illegal. No wait, it is according to the MLG – see #8.5.

8.5.  It’s so good it’s been banned by the MLG even before it’s released. Go figure. If you’re one of the 12045032 gamers that aren’t in the MLG, time for you to get one.

9. It’s not a Microsoft.

10. It’s a Razer.

Photo Contests: How Do They Work?

I am going to post up a photo right here in this very blog and you, faithful reader and PAX attendee, will have to recreate it. To recreate it, just stand in the same spot I am standing and do what I am doing.

Once shot, upload it to the wall of our facebook page to enter. We will then choose five of those photos to win a Razer Orca. The best part is, you can pick it up right at the show! Ah, convenience. (Actually, it’s required that you grab it at the booth…so, make sure you come visit).

Important things to note: Only five will win. The upload cut-off time is midnight. If you are the first to upload the photo, you automatically win, so speed pays off.  Each photo will have some key objectives listed at the bottom that you’ll need to meet for the photo to qualify (standing in the correct spot, matching the angle, etc) so pay attention. Here is what you’re after.

To Recap:

• Recreate the photo with you standing in the shot doing what I am doing.
• Pay close attention to the “Key Objectives”
• Upload the photo to our Facebook wall.
• If you win, you must pick up your Orca at the Razer/Nvidia booth. You’ve got to be present to win.

But….I’m Not At PAX…Where Is My Fun?

Oh, we’ve got you covered too. For those playing from home, we’ve got something special for you compliments of our friends at EVGA.

EVGA GeForce GTX 465 SuperClocked

How do you get it? Post a comment under the sample photo uploaded to the Facebook page with the words “EVGA” and “Razer” somewhere in your comment. That’s it. PAX people, recreate it. Home people, comment on it.

Important note: You can only enter this contest if you live in the US or Canada. Hardware and legal what-have-yous.

Photo: Recreate it! Players from home, go comment on this photo on our Facebook page.

Key Objectives:

• Must be standing in front of this sign
• Must be holding up your hand and looking disapprovingly at the camera.

Now get over to our Facebook page and get to uploading.

Here is an excerpt from the interview with RotterdaM:

FF: Is there a certain faction for each type of player, or can any player play any faction well?
I think there is a factor. It’s in my nature to be aggressive so Zerg or Protoss definitely fits best for me. It all depends on the play style you prefer but of course the choice is open for all. At the end of the day, if I started out as a Terran player, I don’t think I would be any worse off as compared to me now as a Protoss player. I would probably enjoy the game less though.

FF: Do you have any general tips for victory?
Scout well. Scouting is by far the most important aspect in any RTS. Other than that, train hard and believe in yoursel

Razer|furryfish* has the final ESL recap for us.

Last Day @ ESL 2010

Quake Live 3rd/4th Placing : av3k vs cooller

ESL Quake Live : av3k, intensely microing during his match against Cooller as his coach watches on

All I can say is, av3k played like a monster. Cooller put up a great fight himself, fighting back to gain 4 kills in the last 30 seconds of a game in a bid to win the round.

Av3k lost a round to Cooller, but picked up his pace in the following rounds to put Cooller in 4th place with a score of 3:1.

StarCraft II Finals : mouz. MorroW vs IdrA

ESL StarCraft II : MorroW on the big screen as he plays his match

Although IdrA was the favourite to win this, MorroW took the title quite comfortably with a 3:1 win over IdrA. Some may say that the race imbalance helped MorroW somewhat (he played Terran, whereas IdrA chose Zerg), but I believe that MorroW won because he successfully played mind games with his opponent.

Rather than using a strategy that he had practiced and was comfortable with, he decided to mix it up and take the chance. The results speak for themselves.

I always love to see the dark horse take the championship title home, but this particular win is all the sweeter, because MorroW is our very own sponsored gamer.

Cheers to the winner of the first official StarCraft II LAN tournament – MorroW!

And here’s to Carmac from ESL, without whom, alot of things would not be possible.

Wrap Up

Sadly, all good things must come to an end…

Departing guests walking down an empty corridor

The awesome team behind the Razer Booth (okay… some were up infront of the booth)
-Razer|furryfish*

The live stream nerve center that kept the show running like clockwork. Video/audio editing bay, full lighting control, network control, three camera feeds…It was a mini TV studio.
-Razer|Molnir

I can’t wait to see this keyboard hit the shelves and here what you think. I loved the moments where I could break off and game a little before the rush hit.
-Razer|Mjolnir

The lesser seen Razer business center booth was tucked away from the public. That doesn’t mean is was any less cool looking.
-Razer|Mjolnir

It was good to escape up here and chat it up with the press that came through…of course, I usually just sat there nodding blankly like a bobble head since my grasp on the German language loose at best.

The meeting of the minds. The Razer Community team representing Asia Pacific, EU, and the US.

After the doors were closed, there was virtually no trace that people had ever been there….none

What’s the point of having a killer sound system and a stage if you can’t use it after hours? Hey, was geht ab? Wir feiern die ganze Nacht!
-Razer|Mjolnir

Hands down, the biggest lit Razer logo we’ve ever made.

A last look at the Razer booth [aside : this is the mess that the team has to clear up daily after the show has been closed to public] That’s Akin in the foreground, our lively Razer host, who always does such a great job getting the crow excited.
-Razer|furryfish*

Gamescom 2010, it’s been real. I can’t think of a more fitting end to a positively awesome show with amazing people than to kick back, enjoy a weissbier, and watch the sun set over the Kölner Dom. Prost!

PS: Last Recap’s contest winner was David Mihocik. Congrats man, you get a Moray+.

This is one night, where you’d rather be a loser than a winner. 

Why? 

Because the ESL finals are tomorrow, but the ESL party is tonight! 

So all the unfortunate finalists have to lay off the alcohol and sleep early for their games tomorrow. 

This is for YOU, who can’t be there. As they say, a picture says a thousand words… so without further ado… 

ESL Party, here we go! (taken with long exposure)

Travis (US Community Manager), Hilmar (Product Evangelist), Alice (Part time staff) @ ESL Party

Another shot of the ESL Party – you can see the familiar stage backdrop, in a whole new light!

Party in the comments 

Congrats to Joel Ahn for taking home a Razer Moray+ from yesterday’s post. For today’s question, tell me what games you plan on playing with the Razer Onza. PC? Console? It does both. So many choices. We’ve got another Razer Moray+ on the line for the chosen winner. Answer below and remember to tune into our live feed that will be running the whole whole show.
