Add some pink to your sting.
A few weeks back, I was driving home after a long day at work. I was waiting in a left turn lane, when I peered over my shoulder and spotted a girl singing and dancing in her car while waiting at the red light. I felt like I knew who she was, but I could not put a name on her. I also kept staring because she just kept dancing. She then suddenly turned over and looked at me. We locked eyes, and the next few seconds felt like an eternity as I tried to figure out who she was. It was not only until she recognized me, smiled, and waved at me, did I realize who she was. I waved back sheepishly, feeling the red rush to my face. It turns out she was a girl from my church, and I actually tutored her in mathematics when she was in high school. To be fair, I have not seen her since then. Taking a look back at this moment makes me laugh at my derpiness, but I also realize it was not anything physical that made me recognize who she was, but rather it was her demeanor and behavior. I have always thought of her as a bubbly and happy go-lucky girl, and her reaction in the situation was pretty much par for the course. It is pretty interesting to see how people can age and change physically, but their natural personality does not deviate as much. When Kingston sent us their HyperX Cloud Stinger, I did a double take at this headset. For once, this is Kingston targeting a different market with a more wallet-friendly pair of gaming headphones. Much like people, companies too often have their own DNA or fingerprints seen throughout their products. Thus, I have to wonder, will we see a similar feel in their budget-minded Kingston HyperX Cloud Stinger as compared to other headsets? Or will there be big changes to see and hear about? Read on to find out!
