Or tell her to wake up and get in the kitchen, start cooking breakfast.

drivesideways46 Wrote:Just out of curiousity, anyone else in here play with gaming headphones? My girl and I have butted heads on weekends since she likes to sleep in late, and I'm up and playing video games. Apparently, roaring engines, squealing tires, and gunfire are not the sounds she would like to wake up to.Yeah I'm probably gonna pick up some gaming cans myself. Should be a big help in FPS's to be able to hear someone trying to sneak up on you. Downside, screaming 8 year olds. But I'll be sure to get some headphones that have a separate voice channel volume.
Anyway, I bought a set of Turtle Beach X12 headphones and I'm a believer now. I've been going back through old games just seeing what I've missed with my crappy TV speakers. I've gotta say, the coolest little touch I've found was in GTA4. I had just jumped out of the Escalade looking SUV, and taken cover behind the front fender when I can hear the steady "ping ping ping" of a cooling motor.
They're fairly comfortable too, enough that it's easy to sit through a movie with them on without disturbing anyone. I also like the fact that the boom mike rotates out of the way against the headset when not playing online. And speaking of the mike, apparently sound quality is much improved to other folks who you are talking to. Not a big deal when racing, but if you're more of a CoD player that may be a factor.
I don't think I'd shell out $150 or so for a set of TB's higher end stuff, but at $60 I'm pretty impressed with them.

i had some silly tritton surround headphones a few years ago. they were awesome, but i prefer speakers for the whole "i'm in the shit" feeling. my fiancee is not a bitch unlike my ex... so i'm not required to be as quiet anymore

I had to google whistle tips.
Guess that means I'm officially over the internwebs hill.

If your girlfriend complains your video games are too loud, the girlfriend is the one who needs earmuffs not you.

whistle tips were ~10 years ago.

Battlefield 3 beta is up on Xbox live today for everyone. I started the download before I left for work (1.3GB) but probably won't get to play until tomorrow =(
Re: XBOX 360 - Gamertags in 1st post - Apoc - 09-30-2011
Who's up for a solid Gears session this weekend?
Re: XBOX 360 - Gamertags in 1st post - Kaan - 09-30-2011
i'm waiting for Forza 4
Re: XBOX 360 - Gamertags in 1st post - Apoc - 09-30-2011
Kaan, you've been dead to us since you didn't get your XBox fixed for 4 months.
Re: XBOX 360 - Gamertags in 1st post - WRXtranceformed - 09-30-2011
I'm down next weekend, out of town this one.

Vegas next weekend. I have a strange suspicion we won't get much time in before MW3 comes out. :?

i'll be online most of the weekend.
have played way too much gears since opening the box three days ago. level 28 i think already? fuck.
then bf3 came out last night and i've already put about four hours into it. pretty buggy, but that's a beta.

Re: XBOX 360 - Gamertags in 1st post - Apoc - 09-30-2011
Pretty sure you've played more than all of us combined.
I have no plans this weekend other happy hour tonight and football Sunday. GEARS!
I'd really like to do Horde with 4-5 people we know.
Re: XBOX 360 - Gamertags in 1st post - Mike - 09-30-2011
i tentatively need to move an office (IT-wise), but if history is good for anything, there's no way it's happening this weekend.
so i might be on a ton or i might not be on at all.
