Sades A60 Headphones

HEY GUYS!!!


A while ago, I was searching for some GOOD gaming headphones, but I wasn't too sure what I wanted. As a female gamer, I love having girly gaming accessories - My Little Pony card sleeves (Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy of course), glitter dice sets, and washi tape covered xbox controllers to name a few. So, a few months, I had found some pink headphones that I fell in love with. They were Sades A60...and did I mention they were PINK?! How perfect?! The only problem? They were about $55. . . as a broke college student, it was NOT really something I could just drop cash on. So I threw it on my Amazon wish list and sort of forgot about them.

Until Christmas day. 

I know I brag about my awesome fiancé Aaron a lot, but good god you guys, he REALLY done good this time. He made me open my presents in a specific order, with the biggest box being last. I ripped the paper and immediately saw the pink. I swear, I don't think I've squealed that loud...EVER. I absolutely could NOT believe that he remembered! More than I could ever ask for!! (I know he reads this so, THANK YOU POOKIE!)





NOW THEN! The whole reason I wanted to post about these amazeball ear speakers, is because they are literally some of the best headphones I've ever used. Here's the specs:

Some features that were sort of a surprise when I actually got them plugged in, it lights up on the sides!  
It also comes with a disk that you can use to install the software to precisely control the sound that will pour out into your ear holes. Last but certainly not least, probably the coolest thing is the vibrate feature. It's like the rumble in console controllers. But on your ears. Kinda weird at first, but REALLY cool once you get used to it!! It's easily switched off on the corded remote.



                                               
Did I mention I LOVE these headphones? Sadly, the Rocket the Raccoon attachment is not included, but I'm sure you can find one at your local comic book store! All in all, these things are AMAZEBALLS. Absolutely love them and DEFINITELY recommend them to anyone searching for a good pair of gaming headphones!

Random Fact of the Day: I'm a character in a published novel!!






Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present, the book that I, Mackenzie Graham, am a character in.



HOW FREAKIN COOL IS THAT?!


The book is called Shadow of Freedom and it's from a series of books written by the amazing David Weber. This is no joke guys! I have my own Wiki page!!!

"Mackenzie Graham was a Seraphim citizen and resistance fighter.
Together with her brother, Indiana, she worked to undermine the OFS-controlled government around 1922 PD. During that time, they made contact with Mesan Alignment agent Damien Harahap, who falsely promised them the help of the Star Empire of Manticore. (HH14) "

The story behind this all came to be, is actually pretty interesting. My dad has always been a fan of sci-fi novels and really took a liking to David Weber's books. When my brother was in the hospital, receiving chemotherapy, my dad would stay with him and always had a book on hand. Usually one of Mr. Weber's. The cool thing about David is that in the back of his books, there is contact information, that you can use to get in touch and he will possibly put you in one of his books!
So, my dad, being my dad, decided to email him. He emailed Mr. Weber and told him all about the years my brother had been battling cancer. He also told him about the many difficulties I've faced with my own physical disabilities. After numerous emails back and forth, it was decided that not only my brother, but me and my father would be characters in the book!

I was so excited. As an avid reader, this was like a dream come true! In the book, my brother (Indiana) and I have numerous conversations...I can't even tell you how spot on our personalities are. It's like David knew us without even meeting us! He sent us rough drafts of the book, and it was just spectacular. It was crazy how someone we've never met, could know us so well.

In 2012, my brother Indiana lost his five year battle with cancer. There's not a day that goes by that I don't miss him like crazy, but because of this book, I can skim the pages and read our conversations, and it feels like it actually happened. It's a small, but it's something.

I love this book so much!

Guardians of the Galaxy - Extended Dance Scene

As you guys know, I'm obsessed with Guardians of the Galaxy. Buzzfeed just posted a video of an outtake of my favorite part of the movie! Epic dance battle between Star Lord and Ronan.
This is just too awesome. It's got me even more excited to get it on Blu-ray! I'm stoked to see what other goodies are hidden in the special features!!!



These are the kind of things I love seeing in special features. Its nice to see all the goofy things that happened on set, behind the scenes. And, I just enjoy watching Chris Pratt shaking what his mama gave him. Hahaha! <3
Guardians of the Galaxy comes out on Blu-ray Dec. 9th. 
Are you gonna be getting it?
