It may not be the prettiest thing out there but if you need a headset for your PC then this seems to be a fine deal. Renwood and I just made our orders and got them for free.

Also, this can help if you were ever planning on being in the podcast but just didn't have a headset.

lol, oh and yes, it is a Halo 2 headset

Renwood · 06-20-2008, 06:29 PM

The fact that its not USB is great too.

GameMaster · 06-20-2008, 06:29 PM

Wow, anything that's free is a whale of a deal!

That also means it can't work on Mac.

Renwood · 06-20-2008, 06:32 PM

Er, yeah it can?

edit: or not. Hrm. I was pretty sure I've used mine before.

edit 2: I am unequivocally wrong and cry your pardon.

Yeah, headsets that aren't USB aren't mac compatible.

As I understand it, anything with a volume controller between the line and the headphones won't work on mac, because they usually need drivers and companies are lazy / it won't work.

I'm just glad I can use my Rock Band mic. That was a relief.

Renwood · 06-20-2008, 06:36 PM

Yeah, I just read that. I thought I had used my regular mic before, but now I remember that I actually switched it out for my USB one before trying to talk.

My Logitech mic headset has a volume control dongle on the cord but its USB so it works fine.

Why not? Leopard is totally awesome in every way.

Heh, I dunno, I've used Mac's but could never really get used to them. I always felt like they were trying to over simplify everything, and most programmers I know use Windows, just because it lets you mess with more things.

Thanks for the head's up Aladuf, got my free headset ordered last night.

Dyne · 06-22-2008, 01:01 AM

I don't know. They're definitely different beasts, but even if they're simplified, I find a lot more use out of Macs. I love doing little things like programming Automator to do stuff for me rather than getting a java platform running before I can do anything. I mean it's Unix-based so it's not like it's useless.

I can't run DevC++ though.. I used to love that.

Considering mine crapped out recently and I'm strapped on money until I've moved out at the end of the month, this will be a good half-assed replacement until things stabilize.

I dont have Leopard, and dont plan on getting it. I want a comp that can play games and not just do artistic things.
