You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

But I suck at other games, not just shooter ones. Oy, you should see me in the driving games! The walls on the course cringe when they see my gamertag log in.

You should try improving some time, omnis.

Our wings are not tired

That's some pretty good advice there Sean.

"You know, I really suck at this."

"Well, my advice is, do it better."

Oops, I refreshed away from the game, libkitty, and it seems to be gone. Nice win - kudos to you!

Omnis, just go for "I'll Make You Look Good". It'll work for any genre of game.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm in the market for a better headset solution for my wife to use while we're playing World of Warcraft.

She's not found any of the cheap USB headsets I've gotten to be very comfortable, and almost all of them are too quiet when she speaks, even with the sound input preference pane set to maximum gain.

I'm very tempted to get her a Sennheiser HMD281-XQ headset. It looks very comfortable, and she'd prefer to have an ear clear to listen for the dogs getting into trouble.

That said, I'm not sure what to get with it to hook it up to a Mac Pro.

Does this idea make any sense? Is there a better way to go?
