The headset has returned!

It’s back, the marvellous headset that I mentioned in an earlier post, the one that I had such a hard time getting sent. Do I regret taking my time sending it now that it’s back? Fuck yeah. Does it feel good to have it back on my head? Definitely. As I mentioned earlier, the headset is simply marvellous. It’s originally made for gaming, fps-gaming to be more precise, with emphasis on sounds like footsteps and such in the games. This clicked with me completely. I love bass, but it wears me out quickly, and in alot of sound-systems these days the bass is overemphasized to the extreme, or has some other weird distortion that leaves alot to be desired. I know, I know, I could have spent 2500 NOK on a supreme headset like Martin would, but no thanks, this covers my needs nicely (though I really admire Martin for his ability to not only be that demanding, but also being able to spend the cash without feeling any apparent regret. I know I would, but I’m not anything remotely close to a connoiseur).

The downside that isn’t a downside? Originally I bought the version that brought a USB soundcard along, and the one I was returned is the non-USB version. Not that I mind, in practicality the USB-soundcard was good, but totally unnecessary for my needs (something I discovered later, but I wanted to use it for several machines back then). So now I’ve sent a letter to komplett.no detailing their mistake, telling them that it’s ok, but considering the price-difference combined with the shipment cost, the extra price for the headset I’m wearing now is over 200 NOK more than the worth in the shop. Would be nice to get some of that back. We’ll see what happens.

Happy!

Oh, and prepare for being Skyped again, the sound is back, and it’s nice to talk in them again.

Wtf? (and Zero Punctuation)

What the hell happened to the traffic on my blog?

Haven’t logged in on my blog for some time now, with GTA IV and other activities being available. So I come in, I peruse the Wordpress news, I think “…wait, wut?” and scroll back up again; I saw this in the little traffic monitor embedded in wordpress. Wtf?

Must be my wordpress installation on shrooms or something, because apparently Google Analytics doesn’t agree with it.

And in case you’re missing it, here’s the latest Zero Punctuation. This week I laughed harder than I usually do. Got to love a guy that apparently gives a flying fuck about a politically correct language to soothe the frantically-scrubbed-yet-still-dirty masses (as opposed to unwashed masses).

More Zero Punctuation

Once again there’s a review, just like last wednesday, before that, and so on, and will probably be in the future.

This time it’s about Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a game I’ve never tried, and most likely never will. I don’t own a console, and I most likely never will - except for the ones I own already, which is an old PS1 and an even older Nintendo.

So, if you’ve played the game and hate him for mocking it I’m sorry. Me? I laughed my ass off. Thank you Croshaw!

[Edit]
Small thank you to Ingar for showing me what an ignorant fool I am for not even making sure I’m using the right title, and a small smack to myself for not even providing a Wiki-link from the start that would have shown me the true title of the game.
