This month on the Mamba Files we’re taking the series in a different direction. Instead of a focus on the Mamba itself, we’re going to focus on how well Razer’s RMA and customer support works and just how easy it is to get proper support and replacement for your faulty Razer products. And, of course, we’ll have a quality update on the Mamba at the end of the article.

Last night’s new episode of Family Guy brought in an awesome sight. Peter Griffin buys an Xbox 360 for his kids as an apology for saying that he hated being around them. He ends up hogging the controller and the rest is history. While we would’ve preferred him playing MW2 on the PC, it still doesn’t hurt to see a great game on a great TV show. Robert Bowling (Infinity Ward’s community strategist) also makes a cameo appearance in the game as his infamous gamer tag FourZeroTwo. Watch the clip after the break.

The Bargain Bin is a weekly feature that helps out gamers in the tough economy. How does it help? Once a week, it offers a great and cheap game ($10 or less) to keep you going until your next paycheck.
While The Bargain Bin’s main goal is to focus on cheap games that you can buy right now, this week we offer an upcoming release at a great price! The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom, after a very successful Xbox Live release, is finally hitting PC gamers thanks to Steam.

It’s about fraggin’ time. Engadget is reporting that Asus has confirmed they will be shipping their long-awaited EeeKeyboard at the end of April. Sadly, that’s all we have.
It’s pretty hard to trust Asus after they gave the EeeKeyboard numerous delays over the past year, but I guess we’ll take their word for it like we do every time. We’ll have more details as they arrive.

Yeah, this is pretty much a test for something. I just want to make sure something is working properly and I have to make a test post to make sure something is working. I’m not going to tell you what it is though. You’ll have to guess. The person who gets it right will get something special. That is all.
