It’s nothing personal. He doesn’t hate you. Hedoesn’t even know you. But he’s already licking his chops, hungry foreasy kills like you. When you meet – and you will – he’ll hit fast,giving neither mercy nor quarter, to destroy the character you’ve spentso many loveless, lonely hours building.
Will you hear him coming?
With the Razer Barracuda AC-1 Sound Card, you might. Its Razer ESP (EnhancedSonic Protection) will help you pick out those menacing footfalls fromthe blare of background noise. Its Razer 3D 720-degree positionalgaming audio engine will help you hear where he’s coming from. And the117db signal-to-noise ratio, 7.1 channel 24-bit audio output, and DTS Neo:PC, DTS Interactive,Dolby Headphone, Dolby Digital Live, and Dolby Pro Logic IIxcompatibility will help you enjoy every sonically sculpted syllable ofhis whining pleas to spare his insignificant life.
Of course, they work best with the Razer HP-1 headphones (http://shopping.yahoo.com/?name=woot#woot).But that’s only the beginning of the capital-F Fun you can have withthe Razer Barracuda AC-1 Sound Card. Prefer speakers to headphones? Theaudio splitter will eagerly hook up with your speaks. In the mood for alittle optical signal action? Use its S/PDIF in and out TOSLINKjacks to connect it to your home theater system. At a loss for how toliven up your dingy old van? Dude, paint a reproduction of the AC-1’stotally extreme purple lightburst design on the side. That’d be wild,man. And now that they’ve managed to put together a decent Vista driver (http://www.razersupport.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=viewdownload&downloaditemid=129&nav=0,9), it should work just fine on Vista until the next “required Windows update” messes everything up again.
TheRazer Barracuda AC-1 Sound Card is not as effective a weapon as a realrazor. Or a real barracuda, for that matter. But in the world of onlinegaming – the world you spend most of your time in – it’s more valuablethan a whole school of barracudas armed with razors. And it won’tsuffocate on dry land.
