Last night

I just wanted to say Thanks to the fellas last night for allowing me to pick up some mad skills and have a great time. It was nice playing and not having to worry about all the drama of being a terrible player. Heck even a few times I actually kicked a little bit of ass. but the there were a few times where i toobed the sideds of a building. ALWAYS good for a laugh.. Anyhoo I just wanted to say thanks again. I look forward to more clan nightes in the future.

Tritton AX 720

The Box!

The Contents! (Links to photostream and itemizes everything in the picture)

 

My Thoughts!

Everything I needed for the PS3 hookup was included. A USB A/B cord hooks up to the PS3 and the optical sound cord, though short, was fine. I have not checked voice with the PS3, but it sounds good.

The 360 required a sound dongle, which I ordered from a secondary distributor via Amazon for around $10.

My WiFi for the 360 is wonky and I think I discovered the reason. Whenever my wife's PC is off, the WiFi cuts out though we have two other PCs on the router. For whatever reason, it drops the signal. I figured that out last night, but didn't get a chance to test my theory with a friend in Borderlands on the 360 and felt sheepish in trying to chat with JCat since we've never spoken in person before. "Hey, uhh... You wanna talk with me...?" (Awkward pause)

Anyway, so far when it works, the sound is great directionally. The sound is crisp, the bass is a little understated. The headphones are a little heavy, but I wore them for around 2 1/2 hours last night and they didn't hurt my ears.

An expensive trinket to be sure, but a good solution, especially if you don't want to get two different headsets. All I have to do right now is change the optical source from one machine to the other.

First Rattle Outta th' Chute

Greetings gamers,

I found 2old2play last year, but got caught up in life and never got involved. I am here now to correct that.

I am an Xbox 360 guy. I have PS3, but have never gotten into it, which is probably due to my gaming buds all being 360 types as well. Right now the PS3 is a blu-ray player and not much more, but I might be open to increasing its role in the future.  I have a few friends who are waiting to see what I think of the environment here, I hope to get them involved soon.

Stuff I've played recently:

MW2

Halo 3: ODST  or just Halo 3 (I enjoy map making anyone interested in that?)

Rainbow 6

GRAW 2

Left 4 Dead

Mass Effect 2

Toy Soldiers

Tekken 6

I play a variety of games, but mostly shooters (as evidenced from the list above, I guess) and am looking forward to getting involved in the mix here.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Verm

MW2, BC2, and more...

More Kate Nauta... Never enough!
 
    Looking forward to the DLC for MW2 coming out at the end of the month. Two of my favorite CoD4 maps, Crash and Overgrown, are rumored to be recycled for MW2. I always enjoyed camping Granma's Attic on Overgrown and the two story garage on Crash, so it should be fun to try that on MW2.
    I still haven't gotten back to the Bad Company 2 campaign. I'm off gaming generally lately, I guess. It just doesn't seem much fun lately to me.   Short featured vid today showing a weird connection fail during a knife killcam. Also threw in the first part of an IGN series feature Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer tips. It's pretty basic stuff, but since it's hosted by the luscious Jessica Chobot, it goes down easy. (Goes down easy! *snicker*) On to the links and vids:

    More Gaming Links:

    This vid features a dual commentary offering some interesting bits of info on Bad Company 2 multi-player tactics and approaches to gameplay. Be forewarned: Woody's co-commenter is Wings of Redemption, who's sometimes sufficient for some folks to steer away from a YouTube vid.He's pretty key-low in this vid, tho.

a little PS stencil test...

found a digi stencil creator online : www.tacticalcamo.com  and did the stencil in 8 layers and painted it as I would with a spray can/airbrush.

Not bad....

holy geez... getting ready for baby

Yikes... it just kinda hit me. I'm pregnant... that means a baby is on the way. (yeah... I have a biology degree... what?) It's actually odd thinking of having a wee little one around the house again. We have some things to get (basinet, rocker chair or swing) perhaps clothes.... Not many if we have a girl, but lots if we have a boy. Actually... not THAT many, we bought Erica lots of boy clothes: boy pants fit better for active kids, and girl shirts are often over the top girly... not our thing. We have been talking names. We have a girl name picked out, but no boy names have grabbed us. Maybe I'll have a "name J-Cat's Baby" contest.

So... for now we are looking at a 4 bedroom house. And that means selling this one. Which means that we have to (gulp) clean up this one and get rid of the junk. Ottawa has a really hot housing market, so selling won't be a problem. Finding a house that is close the the school we want will be tougher. But not impossible. Or so I'm told.

On the gaming front: I am playing FFXIII. I have a first impressions written up. Now I used to be a JRPG total fangirl... but Is ee the same mistakes in character over and over. THis game is no exception. I like it, but I have lots of critisms. Or maybe things I want to see get better.

What else: Looking forward to the podcast with Caesar, LB and Doodi... or rather version 2 of the podcast with the guys. I miss podcasts. I love doing them and it's been way too long since I did one. You guys and gals have anything that you think we should talk about?

Well... I'm off. I have a cold and Dr. Erica has promised to make me feel better.  Send help

Im not gonna say its completely captivating, which is a dissapointment. i was so excited when the game was announced, but now i just feel kinda blah about it.The graphics and imaging are great and thats about all i can say. maybe i'll give it some time tomorrow
