My laptop keyboard lights up like that, but it has its own problems, mostly with drivers. ASUS has crap customer support, so their "fix" for the issue likes to go out every now and then.
Played Some Games, Bought A Keyboard

So I am currently waiting the 30 minutes post floss/brush before I can eat breakfast so here I am updating you good people on the games I’ve been playing this past week. Spoiler: it’s only been a handful of games, but I’m playing and that’s all that matters. Oh and it is a breezy Southern California morning.
Chris Plays…
Shadow of the Tomb Raider - PC (Steam): This is the game I’ve been waiting to play for a while because 1. I’m cheap, and didn’t want to pay full retail, and 2. I got the definitive collection which has a bunch of cool stuff that gives you an edge. This is a benefit of being cheap. Anyways the game seems like more of the same from the reboot series which isn’t a bad thing but you’re not surprised by much in the game. I haven’t ventured far into the game, maybe 10% or more but I’m enjoying the latest adventure of Lara and her homies and they find, destroy tombs, solve puzzles, and have crazy cinematic moments. Yep it’s living up to my description of Lady Uncharted (I call Uncharted Boy Tomb Raider)
Madden 20 - PC (Origin): After winning the 4th Super Bowl in 6 years, the Lions are starting to show their age. The season before, the Lions were scoring 35+ a game and the defense was for the most part keeping other teams from scoring. This season the first four games have been 1 score games going into the 4th quarter and the offense just isn’t eating yards in massive chunks. A tough road win against again a 1 win Tampa squad followed by an even tougher Buffalo team where if it wasn’t for a last second touchdown the Lions wouldn’t have a passing touchdown. I think it is time to start thinking about rebuilding.
Pocket City - iOS/Windows: Ok so I am a little (a lot) crazy by playing three different games on three different devices, all the cities are around level 50 and this is usually the point where the game could be put into cruise control because you’re making money hand over fist, if you did the policies corretly you could use the option to change the land and not pay for it, and you spent a lot of time buying land and making sure you don’t max out on cash.
I have one game on my phone and that’s for playing on the go. When I’m sitting in the car waiting, or when I’m eating lunch, you get the idea. The iPad game is for either right before bed, when I wake up or while sitting on the couch. The laptop version is well when I’m sitting in front of the laptop.
Other Gaming Stuff: Still randomly playing games on the Sega Handheld emulator. So far I’ve spent some time playing Columns, one of the older College Football games, Mortal Kombat with the blood cheat (ABACABB) and the menu cheat (Down, Up, Left, Left, A, Right, Down), and just messing with a couple of other random Genesis games, mainly the Shoot’em Ups.
Last week my laptop keyboard starting acting up where I had to push down on the letter F, and the number 8 just to get it to show up on screen. I may just need to clean out the keys but after getting frustrated on not being able to find my other wireless keyboard and looking down the possibility of taking a typing test I went and bought a keyboard (remember the Tomb Raider description where I said I’m cheap? It hits here too) I was looking at different keyboards on Amazon and Walmart. I decided on one at Walmart until I realized that store pickup was no longer free unless I spent over $35 bucks (LOL you’re not Amazon, they’re actually good at customer service and being a one stop spot) and there was no way I was going to walk into that store on a weekend (people don’t understand that the mask goes OVER your nose) so after looking through another store’s website I found a keyboard. I waltzed into the local Big Lots and $24 dollars later I left the store with a “Gaming Keyboard” with lights. LIGHTS!
All the lights can do is be turned on and off. Don’t care. The top of the keyboard is metal and looks like either sticks of ram or someone was really into Klingon weapons, but there is a handle which is kinda odd. The keys are loud so I guess it’s a legit mechanical keyboard or for you old timers the old IBM keyboards. Anyways it works, but I spent a lot of time yesterday looking down just to find where some of the keys were located. I’m used to the laptop’s keyboard so this one I need to get used to. Anyways $24 bucks, Big Lots or if you want here’s the Amazon link.
Alright Pixlpeeps I am off. Have a good week!
That’s all for now, more later!
-Chris
