[QUOTE="Herschel, post: 5498334, member: 78357"] I'm just in disbelief that your identity as a gamer is so wrapped up in "brand name purity". I'll give you an example from another venue: I'm a drummer and I HATE tripod stands because juggling them is a pain so I like my gear mounted on a rack. Only Pearl and Yamaha make racks of the major drum companies. My kit is a Mapex Saturn Series, professional touring and recording quality and a great-sounding kit. I prefered it to the Pearl, Yamaha, Tama, Premier (which my old kit was), Ludwig, Gretsch, etc. kits that I tested it next too and I got a great deal on it. So did I deal with the matching tripods? Heck no, I have my Pearl Rack with the logos on it that nobody ever mentions because it's great. I also have the Pearl pedal that I prefered over other brands. My hi hat stand? The Tama stand with the action I love. My cymbal arms? They're cymbal arms and a mix of brands. I even have a pair of DDrum decabans, a LP Mambo Cowbell, Remo heads on the kick drum and Evans on the toms and snare. But wait, what if I am playing outdoors and want a metal shell snare vs. my maple/walnut snare? I pull out my 1965 Slingerland chrome-over-brass for the extra cut outdoors. I won't even get in to mics and triggers. Etc., etc. What do other musicians and I say when they see/hear my kit? They say it's a really great sounding and looking kit, they don't look for matching logos, the end "product" is where it's at. Same for gaming, if your game is somehow affected by the font or logo on your accessories, your game isn't any good in the first place. A screen, dice, etc. are merely tools to facilitate a gaming experience. [/QUOTE]
