11.24.12 | You cannot be serious. |
Calc
11.24.12 | lol the cheapest ones they have |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | I'm new to fancy headphones (I've been rocking the cheap plastic ones that come with my Elite for years) and they are a great quality for being more or less entry level. I've read various issues people have had with them, and it seems like most of it is fixable.
So, yes, I am serious. I'm also very new to fancy headphone mics so take my excitement at face value. |
Winrar
11.24.12 | You do NOT need a "gaming" headset, all they are, are shitty low quality headsets with gimmicky "soundwhore" features that apparently "INCREASE GAMING PERFORMANCEE".
These shits are slapped with a "gaming" label to appeal to the retarded demographic of 12-16 year old kids who think its necessary to purchase GAMING PERIPHERALS.
|
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | I purchased them to communicate with my friends that I form Xbox Parties with. Do I "need" these headphones? No, not at all, but they're nice, won't bother other people with the volume, offer a better quality to talk to my said friends, etc.
You're raging pretty hard for something so trivial... |
Winrar
11.24.12 | Raging? Is this your first time to the internet?
I was trying to educate you, but it seems you're clearly not worth it. Have fun staying a pleb forever. |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | Thank the good, non-existent Lord we "plebs" have such a shepherd to guide us through such trying times. Enjoy being an angry sack of shit. :D |
Winrar
11.24.12 | I am not mad at all. Apparently it's rare to see someone type a paragraph nowadays, are people really that fucking slow at typing/reading? I am pointing out how retarded these headphones are. It seems we are allowed to insult people's music tastes based off subjective opinions, but we are not allowed to do it towards products based off facts and experience. |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | No, it's not odd at all to see a large body of text in a single sitting, especially on a *gasp* music review website. You're correct, you can be subjective all you want. Just as I was explaining why having this product is a positive, SUBJECTIVE benefit to myself and my personal situation. Then you proceed to be upset that your efforts to "educate" me fell to the wayside, and belittled my intelligence. Please, indulge me and tell me how you're not the asshole in this situation. I'd LOVE to know. :] |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | ^ this works as a good summary as well |
Winrar
11.24.12 | "HOW to express TONE correctly"
I am sorry, are you trying to tell me that my tone is making me come off dickish or that i am not doing it right? either way, writing tone does not completely correlate with my mood whatsoever, but more a style of persuasion. Which comes back to my original point, i am not mad. |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | In that case, may I refer to you with the classic "catch more flies with honey than vinegar" adage? |
Winrar
11.24.12 | @Snoxall, thats my original intention. If i wanted to come off friendly, i wouldn't even be commenting here in the first place. |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | You strike me as a counter-culture, high functioning individual who's above average intellect comes with a big of an ego, so all of this hostility is no real skin off my nose. However, at the end of the day you felt the need to read my list, state your opinion, and back it up (poorly). That's a lot of energy that I'm sure would be better spend doing whatever it is you do. So I can't help but feel that regardless of the outcome, I come out on top. And every response, every comment you post to continue this rather pointless bickering, you reinforce that feeling. |
Winrar
11.24.12 | @Gringo, flies are actually proven to be more attracted to vinegar than honey. However, you are reffering to the context of human relations and i am very well aware that you're trying to persuade me to express my paragraphs through a less critical tone, (which i am now using because it seems my words were pissing off snoxall as well) However, your purchase was awful and there is no way in hell i can unsee that. |
Winrar
11.24.12 | "Then back to what was being said earlier...you're being a bit of an obnoxious cunt over something so trivial."
trivial is a pretty subjective term. One can view playing video games as a meaningless task, yet some can view them as a very joyful experience. Anyway, i open up sputnikmusic, i see a list saying "just bought turtle beaches", i facepalmed hard and continued to write how i viewed the headsets.
My original comment did not insult him but the product he purchased. If he believes to be part of the demographic i insulted, that's his own fault. |
Winrar
11.24.12 | @snoxxal, i wrote that thinking "pissing off" meant "to be annoyance to". |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | Once again, it's an adage. Look it up if you're so inclined. To return to the current topic, I accept your criticism, defended my point of view, and we can now have the parting of the ways. Unless of course there is something else you wish to debate. Kant? The Existence of Dark Matter? Atheistic Buddhism? Your call. |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | Also, the turning point of when you went from "stating frustration of the product" to "cunt" happened at about comment #7 when you called me a pleb. |
Winrar
11.24.12 | I was actually hoping for you to defend your point of view and start a discussion until either side
was persuaded. yes, my tone was excessive, but that shouldn't be enough to derail the topic at hand
and end up having snoxall jump out of nowhere to also be a douche. Yes, i called you a pleb, holy fuck
please insult me back, i really can't be fucked trying to argue against both you and snoxall over how
much of a dick i am. yeah i fucking get it, i was being a dick, but like i said, that was my original
intention. |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | Snox went a bit "0 to 60" as it were, I can agree to that (though, Snox, I appreciate your defense; it is much welcomed and I am grateful).
I merely stated that for my purposes, a headset is a benefit TO ME. My purposes. Unless you believe that everyone has the same experiences across the board, my life most likely differs from yours. I stated, in a way I thought was understandable, that my purchase is sufficient for me, and I was a bit taken aback by the harsh wording. Then my intelligence was brought into question, and the rest is history.
And when I say history, I am again using an old saying, not implying that this is a historical record. Just clarifying. |
TMobotron
11.24.12 | Jesus christ Winrar, I don't think you could come off as more of a cunt if you were trying. And by the way, this isn't 4chan, saying shit like "Is this your first time to the internet?" "Have fun staying a pleb forever." "i facepalmed hard" just makes you sound like a retard.
@Gringo my buddy had an old pair of TBs awhile ago that he wasn't using that I borrowed off him. They definitely sound pretty sweet for gaming at least, and it's a nice way to get headphones and a mic easily for xbox play. My biggest complaint was that the wires were such a fuckfest for those, it wasn't always worth it to get it all going for a quick game. But that was back in H3's infancy, so I'm sure they've improved on them now.
But I've had countless MS headsets break on me over time, but the TBs seem to be pretty high quality, and their integration with xbox as a headset with a mic is extremely convenient. It's better to buy a nice pair once than have to keep buying xbox ones as they fail/break. Don't really think there's any downside to buying them despite what winrar will spout off (angrily for some reason). |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | I have no interest in persuading you. A simple "I find the concept of gaming headsets frivolous, but I respect your perceived need or desire to own one. Good day".
Much easier, no? |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | Thank you, TMobotron. Yeah the wires are a bit much, but I'm already fairly wired up (my Xbox is a classic black Elite so I have the original Wi-Fi adapter in the back, a Kinect sensor with A/C power cord adapter in the front, and now my TB headset in the front as well). I'm both used to it, and prepared to have it somewhat orderly. It seemed like a nice investment for my needs and will serve me well. |
TMobotron
11.24.12 | Yeah my TV doesn't have audio output in the form of a headphone jack (or anything easily convertible - only digital out), so TBs make it way easier than anything else.
BTW, how are you liking H4? |
Winrar
11.24.12 | Anyways, to conclude this retarded debate, I act like a total dick towards people who i view to be "uneducated" towards a topic. This is because i view being critical is an aggressive and cut-to-the-chase way of persuasion and leaves more impact than nicely trying to argue my point. There is no hostility between you and I, I just choose to write like this.l

11.24.12 | Halo was the first video game franchise I got into (aside from Sonic back on Genesis if that counts) so I've been a giant fan since day one. The story is much better than anything post-Halo 2, the graphics are phenomenal for current gen hardware, the multiplayer feels familiar and new all at once, and the increased difficultly is challenging without feeling excessive. I am incredibly pleased. |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | @Winrar, understandable and no hard feelings. |
Winrar
11.24.12 | And Gringo, i am really fucking sorry for being a dick, i actually get carried away and I'm sure you can tell i have calmed down from the shift in tone from my voice, i get passionate over topics like these because it is something i enjoy. Really, if i didn't really care for technology or headsets, i wouldn't be here in the first place. It's a huge personality flaw of mine that i am very well aware of. Now, could we please end this and find something we an agree on? perhaps Halo 4, because i intend to purchase it next week. |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | I'm all for passion, and I could definitely tell you have strong feelings on gaming, and it's totally cool. Wasn't mad whatsoever, just slightly taken aback and a bit peeved my intelligence was called into question (in the heat of the moment, so I don't take it as personally now). Not upset at all, and I'm happy to put it behind me.
If you're a Halo fan, there is nothing to be disappointed with in Halo 4. Feels a bit short (which isn't new for the series) and some find the latter level designs a bit tiresome after a while, but as a whole, a great game. Really hope you enjoy it as much as I have. |
TMobotron
11.24.12 | Yeah man I'm kind of the same, I got H1 the day it dropped and fell in love with it, been nuts about
it ever since. I'm REALLY big into halo multi-player, so I haven't actually played H4's campaign yet.
I hated Reach, and I like that H4 has Reach's new feel without suffering from the obvious flaws it
did. Still will have to see how it holds up over time but I'm really digging it so far. I think it
plays a lot like H3 even with the changes which is a good thing because H3 was a great game, and
that's especially an improvement over Reach. |
Winrar
11.24.12 | yeah dude, i went here thinking "wow, he''s probs one of those annoying kids with those headsets", but
you've proved yourself to be pretty mature and laid back compared to my impression. I'm just quick to
judge over the internet.
Anyways i'm a huge fan of Halo, although i was fairly disappointed with Reach, I really look forward
to continue Master Chief's story. I have heard good things about the campaign (which i am most excited
for) because it apparently humanizes Chief and approaches the story in a more emotional way. |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | Reach was too military for me. I had little to no interest in the characters and while fighting a losing battle can still be quite a thrilling ride, the way the game was handled made it feel like a funeral procession.
Chief has always been a complex character, more so if you read any of the books, but Bungie's yarn that "we leave Chief a blank canvas so the player can more readily identify and transmit themselves in that role" was a cop out to hid from poor characterization set up. 343i really seems to get that they need to do more with the property, and this was one hell of a way to start. |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | also, it's 5 AM local time so I'm going to bed haha but I'll happily continue the conversation when I wake up. |
Winrar
11.24.12 | That's good to know, there's been a shift in video games, and instead of the usual 'campaign' with the silent protagonist we're used to seeing in classics such as DooM, I'm glad Halo 4 has taken the approach to change the campaign into an actual story and allow players to actually explore Chief as a character, rather than just exploring levels.
I'm still very iffy about playing multiplayer or not. I have heard many things about the multiplayer taking a "Call of Duty" approach and implement loadouts, perks, killstreaks, ect. I used to be the big multiplayer FPS nut back in 07 during the glory days of Halo 3 and Cod4 but I've grown out of online. As long as H4 has a good singleplayer, i'll love it. |
cliiint
11.24.12 | multiplayer is still great man, it feels a lot like h3/h2. the cod stuff works. Loadouts/Perks are a
direct rip off but they add an extra level of strategy. I have a specific loadout for when i get a
ordinance drop for a sniper.. I wait until i die, switch to my 'ammo perk' loadout and then call it in
getting 2 extra bullets.
speaking of ordinance drops their the one cod rip off that's actually not. Once or twice a game you
have the option of dropping a (usually) shitty weapon or a (most likely) shitty speed boost power
up... there's no guided missiles or riding shot gun in a black hawk |
TMobotron
11.24.12 | Yeah I mean, the whole reward system that Halo has implemented is cool - I like reward systems in any game, I just think it encourages playing and enjoying the game. If the loadouts were unbalanced then they would totally suck but they aren't, they just provide some light variation and customization. |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | Yeah, I was worried about the COD elements as well, but they;re very well done. Everyone having sprint as a default makes things much more fast paced, the ordnance drops are sparse and balanced, the loadouts may be customizable, but only the basics (the selection is nowhere near as overwhelming as it is in COD). There's only about 5-7 options for each category, and they're all pretty standard weapons. |

Winrar
11.24.12 | "winrar is elite as fuck he likes games such as cod and halo"
WoW dude, this shit happens all the time, i do not understand what the fuck you are trying to say 99%
of the time. Do you briefly skim over a few paragraphs and have your brain take in 20% of what is said
so you can type a half-assed reply? I cannot stress how foolish you sound when you type retarded shit
like that without even fucking thinking for one second about what you're typing about. |
GringoSuave89
11.24.12 | yo, Thunder, cool it. We finally got some peace up in here until you showed up :p |
