    Microphone/headset

    A really nice microphone that I picked up was the Autio-Technica AT2020 USB microphone. http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT2020-USB-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B001AS6OYC $100 right on budget Directional (I place mine right above my keyboard, but it picks up my voice much more than my...

    Poll: Which game should i play ?

    Depends on what you want: Loved Alan Wake. Sure the combat gets a little meh, but the story is amazing. Witcher takes some dedication and tons of time. Not the most "casual" of the three. Metro: I have nothing to say about this

    Why do we have this system? (gun swapping)

    Poorly Reviewed Games You Enjoyed

    Orion: Dino Beatdown That's right folks, it had a metascore of 35... and it was FUCKING AWESOME... They recently fixed it and now it's good. They even renamed it Orion: Dino Horde because they didn't want the old reviews to mess them up.
