Have you used any ini tweaks either? Liquidmetal posted an ini for 'Ultra High' settings that I have been using and it gives me a viewing distance much further than the game normally allows on Ultra.
I'll post it and some good mods tomorrow for you to have a look at, I have to head off now though.
I was wrong about Skyrim? How the fuck do you even draw that shit out?
turtlebeach are shit and not worth 250$, so no I'm not wrong.
In other news I just finished SR3 story, only took 9 hours :/
All I did was tweak some of the ini values because of my sound issues and also to change the FOV.
Other than that it's vanilla Skyrim.
Ok just ignore me asking about how I was 'wrong' about my opinion on skyrim.
and by deterring you from wasting 250$ on shitty headphones I'd say i'm being very helpful.
no because the two governments have decided to fuck with the public service and in particular essential services (nursing and policing)
the NSW government has decided police disability benefits needs to be cut. They have rocks in their fuckin head.
Both Governments are run by boof heads who have no idea and got in on land slides because labor was so bad. Shame the electorate never knew this was going to happen. None of BOF's policies were taken to the polls because he knew he had it in a cakewalk so didnt need to
Shame Barry Shame.
Nah, you're totally wrong. $250 on Turtle Beach 'phones is totally justified.
Totally kidding. $250 would be better spent professionally recording a fart, then listening to it for hours.

HAHA that made me laugh way too much. Yeah i would never spend $250 on TB phones, I spent $199 on some Tritton AX360's a couple of years back and now I never use them cause I don't even play the Xbox
EatChildren. I wish to write a hard hitting article about JBhifi's change in staff hiring policies. Jambo, if you've been to the cbd jb recently you'll know what I mean.
There's some big questions that need answering. Who's shaking up the system? Who's cracking down on the bias for hot women hiring policy?
This is a wrong that must be protested.

Well, considering he seems to want something that will be primarily for his 360, that's not going to help as the mic won't work, I don't believe.
I agree that $250 is overpriced though (considering they seem to be $160 in the US), and Dolby 7.1 and wireless seem pointless for headphones.
I think Razer also makes some 360 headsets that might work on PC as well, so perhaps look into those, Vince. Just do some research and pick something cheap based on reviews. I wouldn't really pay over $100 for something that's only going to be used on the 360, but if you play multiplayer games on 360 a lot perhaps it's justified.
You can get an adapter that lets you plug standard heaphones and mic into the 360 controller. I have one, but I didn't use it much.

Cheers for the heads up on the 3DS deal ausgaf
ahh brings back memories of working at a call centre
system restore seems to actually work (!!!) on win7 unlike it's shittier predecessors
edit: spoke to soon lol
How's the Xmas bonus work?
Cool. Never used a mic on 360, so I wouldn't know.
Fuck the Turtle Beach then. Get the Beyerdynamic MMX2 and an adapter. Cheaper than the Turtle Beach option, can use it for PC or anything else, and way better sound.
Edit: Wait, how would that work? Wouldn't that only provide sound for voice and not actual game sound?
I agree with all your complaints, but I still rate it as an awesome game. Pretty disappointed in the length, that is probably my major gripe.
Some MW3 voice chat is pretty funny! Well, I thought it was funny.
"Jon look at me, I got a riot shield!"
"Get a gun dude"
"Nahh, I like my shield better...Jon? Can you get a golden riot shield???"
"No"
"Why not?"
"Cos that's fuken stupid"
"No it's not!!"....Jon do you like my camping spot?"
"Where are you?"
"I'm next to a box. Jon? What's an emp??"
"..."
"Jon?"

"Joooooooooooon??!"

Yeah. The controls in TT are vastly improved though. Much nicer to play.
In other news...
WHERE THE FUCK IS MY SKYRIM, OZGAMESHOP?! Still not here!
Lol, yeah some people are alright. Then you get the kids whose voice haven't broken yet or the racists. The best part of the game is hearing your opponent after you kill them. I'm so glad they added that.Some MW3 voice chat is pretty funny! Well, I thought it was funny.

the best thing about the game is the mute option

Cheers for that.
I didn't know that! That explains why I sometimes get some angry cursing after I get a kill. I just thought it was someone on my team.
I tend to only mute people that are intentionally loud and disruptive, or playing music in the background. I kinda enjoy listening to randoms go on about stuff. It's extra special when you get people with thick country accents swearing up a storm lol.
Here's a shitload of information my doctor (who was, understandably, hesitant to be named... at least until there are solid studies done) had gathered on the subject. There is quite a lot of information regarding the condition, as well as several treatments, papers and many references as well as personal anecdotes.
FWIW, the Atlas Profilax "method" is not the only way to get this done, there are other very similar methods (I think here is a little more specific, though I've yet to thoroughly check out that site) but looking up "atlas subluxation" would yield better results as that's the name of the condition, as opposed to "atlas profilax" which is the specific name of the treatment.
Eh, his recommendation was very much off the record and he has literally zero to gain by suggesting any method, as he has no association with any of the people "qualified" to do the treatment. From my point of view, he's someone who (I guess) sees in his ADHD patients something that can be fixed to make their lives markedly better. Coming from the position he's been in from actually suffering from ADHD, there's no reason for me to not believe in his research.
While he gave me a lot of information on the problem, the onus was on me to research the issue as much as possible and ultimately make the decision of whether the treatment would be beneficial, harmful or complete bullshit. Thankfully, I made the right one as the benefits thus far have been numerous *and* obvious. No "I think I might be feeling better, perhaps maybe" crap.

I agree it won't happen but coastal communities are fucking stupid. The locals fight tooth and nail to be as anti-tourism as possible. Really gives me the shits when I hear the crap they try and come up with. The council here recently denied a policy brought up by the flagging businesses of Warrnambool to have free on street parking during the Christmas period to encourage people to drive into the shopping district to have a look. It is already retarded that a place like Warrnambool you have to pay $2 an hour to park anywhere near the centre of town, even out the front of my work where there is nothing other than a Pharmacy that would be of concern to consumers it is parking meters everywhere.
I would be more annoyed if I didn't still have SR3, RAGE and BF3 to tide me over until AC releases.
My RAGE is still fine. I was of the impression that the only publisher to revoke keys was Activision.
I agree on the price but disagree that they are shit. If you import a pair of Turtle Beach at a decent price they are totally worth it, especially with the consoles and getting the right audio to come through. The PX21 would be perfect for PC/PS3/360 use and only $70 when imported rather than $120 at JB. I love the 7.1 on my G930 headset for PC but listening to music/podcasts on the can isn't a dealbreaker.
I found the 7.1 has really increased the enjoyment of my PC games for me, my replay of TW2 last week really showed how great surround sound gaming can be.
Same here. About 55% of the way through the game and only done 14 of the story missions. Loving the hell out of it, much improved over SR2 even though it has lost most of the customisation options. Kind of like what GTA4 did!

TB is heavily overpriced and over rated. 250 bucks for a TB headset is a waste of money.
No, he needs perfect audio to
complain
Don't think so, I've had it since launch and played it online without any issues.
I gave you advice (don't buy TB for 250$) and you said I was wrong. What exactly did you want to hear?
Maybe you should put the 'mate' who recommended you waste your money on ignore.
And a few other people gave you recommendations on what you should buy instead just up the page.

Bethesda take a(nother?) step backwards?
Have you already grabbed some? The PX21 would be perfect for PC/PS3/360 use and only $70 when imported rather than $120 at JB. Not wireless though but they have a massive long cord.

No, there aren't, because because it's another shonky chiropractic subluxation snake oil treatment for a problem that doesn't exist.
PS3 issues are finally over. It arrived today and I got an Amazon rep that understood the situation this time. They politely asked to charge my card back for the $300 and thankfully agreed not to recharge shipping.
The only real issue now is that I don't feel like playing the included Uncharted 3 as Skyward Sword will arrive in a day or two. Ah backlogs...

I think the placebo effect is coming your way. That woman's video you linked, I couldn't help but laugh at many of the things she said. There is no way that the number of things she claimed were ailments that were cured actually happened. Reflexology would no doubt have given her the same effect.
As I mentioned before, I went to a Chiropractor and he just made me feel worse. I will admit that the University clinic I went to made me feel somewhat better, with the exercises they instructed me to do; they did no adjustments at all.
This episode of Penn and Teller: Bullshit! may show you the side of Chiropractics that is rather disturbing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyG5_jJk7MM (part 2 holds the Chiropractics content here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2Sw7De0E7c&t=0m52s)
Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but if you're flat-out denying that I've been treated for problems that don't exist and my newly found posture is just a result of something other than said treatment that has somehow eluded me for the past 25 or so years up until the last week, then you can go fuck yourself.
PS. This book may be of interest if you're willing to at least entertain the idea that this issue might have some merit behind it.
Ain't no placebo effect in my posture. Unless you've lived with standing/walking awkwardly your whole life you have no idea how much time you actually spend thinking about how you carry yourself until you don't have to do it. Take my word for it, or you can join the GFY club right over there with Agyar.
they were talking about these brain sensor cat ears on SMH >_>

hmm live thread extension ain't working for some reason even though it was working fine after newgaf.
Yeah, while its still somewhat working for me, it seems to have become unreliable and I need to hit refresh every now and then

SR3 is so much fun. Tanks make everything a little too easy. Same with calling up and having your notoriety wiped.
This is why I expect Old Republic to go free to play after 12 months at most.

The fact that it doesn't pick up on edits meant I got too frustrated to use it full time. If they can incorporate edit refreshing into it I would probably grab the extension again.
