OK. So I don't blog here too much. I mostly post on MySpace only because my local friends read it more and because GameSpot is blocked by my work firewall. Otherwise I'd be blogging just about every day. Anyways...Here's my latest.
I've finally got the wireless headset for the Xbox 360. It was kind of
a trouble story really. I bought it about a month ago and it was
missing the extra earpiece. You know, the earpiece for the people with
fat ears (me). Well...I called Microsoft and asked them if they could
just send me the earpiece. That's all I wanted. They told me that the
device was too new and that they didn't have a SKU for the part yet.
They recomended that I take it back to the store. OK, so I did. Trouble
with that was that GameStop didn't have a replacement for me. So I just
got my money back. I waited for a month. Picked up a new one and opened
the box. Horray! It had the extra earpiece. Oh wait. No. It's the small
earpiece. You know, the one for the people that have dwarfism (not me
an no offense to the little people out there). Ah well. I'll just deal
with it being a little snug on my ear.
Anyway, back to the
actualy headset deal. It works fairly well. There have been reports of
people haveing defective headsets and Microsoft it working to correct
those. The sound quality on the thing is pretty good. I guess it boils
down to two things. People can hear me and I can hear people. It works.
It's good. It's wireless. It's $60. May be a little pricey for some
people, but if you play online with your 360 at all and chat if up with
the morons that run on Xbox Live, then put this on your Christmas list.
You'll be happy you did.
Finally broke the 10,000 point barrier
today. I cleared up Act 3 of Gears on the Insane difficulty. 30 points
to break the barrier. Played a little bit online. No ranked matches
though. I'll only do player matches until they fix it and people tend
to calm down some. Anyway....go me.
And don't play Gears online in Execution mode. That's got to be the most lame mode out there. Warzone is what you want.
