*witty mom joke*
If we can have one coax line supply power one way and send RF back the other, I don't see why the same can't apply to headphones.

any gaming headset recommendations? I was thinking about Logitech G930 but it appears 8.1 drivers are buggy af
Is a gaming headset just a microphone and a pair of speakers?
Jeez, there's no need to increase the difficulty of something simple as speakers and microphones.

This is why I despise everything that tries to handle something Windows can perfectly do by itself and sometimes with better integration.

All of those logitech USB/wireless headsets use a really, REALLY shitty soundcard that wigs the fuck out if you have ~20 sources of audio. The fix is to essentially disable everything, and some random ones still bug the fuck out for no reason. They also all have a tiny plastic cone that servers as the swivel for the ear pieces, and it's essentially impossible to replace. Guess what piece sheers off effortlessly.
I'd strongly advise that you avoid them entirely.
I'd also strongly advise that you get a good set of headphones, and a decent cheap ass microphone to go with them.
I don't like really saying that a certain product is kinda crap... but I have the G35 headset...
I really love it. But the drivers are really shit. The audio will go up and down in surround sound mode if more than one application is making noise. Once almost every month the driver will completely freeze causing the headset to make a incredibly hi-pitched ear deafening noise that will cause you to flip the shit out. Other than that I believe the build quality is okay if you treat it nicely and don't run over it with your chair.

gaming headset recommendation: a good pair of cans and a modmic/desktop mic/clipon mic. maybe a PCI soundcard if you're really picky about sound. I know i'm missing the point here, but there's really no upside to buying everything in a single unit, unless you truly believe in "5.1 simulation" and shit like that
Okay well since people are suggesting all these, how many of you guys actually use these two piece setups, and what specific headphones and mics are good?

I keep finding uses for Powershell. I wanted to export a list of movies from Plex and someone suggested saving a page as XML and downloading a tool to read it. Then I remembered "But Windows has one built in".

There's a thread for this
But my G930 is fabulous. My only problem is if I turn surround mode off, the sound will go to one ear for about a second before going back to stereo. I don't use a two piece setup because muh wireless. I haven't had any trouble with the G930 drivers in W8 or 8.1.

You can get headphones to suite every conceivable use. Ask in the headphone thread or something to get a pair in your budget range, and in the style you want. Just get a modmic, or a labtech 7330 (which is stupidly easy to just pop apart and slap a piece of velcro on to).
You can also just get a desktop mic if you want high quality sound, but that's going to typically cost more.

Put some money towards [URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/midgarstudio/hover-revolt-of-gamers"]this kickstarter.[/URL] Really loving how it looks, and they got Hideki Naganuma on board so how couldn't I.
Installed the JSR port to quench my thirst for cel-shaded toony games and it's crashing when I hit start, christ why. I also got JSRF but I refuse to play it in composite quality and with a busted A button, and can't find a component cable for this Xbox (REALLY LOVE HOW MS CHANGED THEIR PROPRIETARY PORT FOR NO REASON!!! The fact that searching for anything related to the "xbox" shows results for the original, 360 and one doesn't help either.)
Remember this thing I complained about?

I don't know why you would want Garry's Mod on consoles.
Trying to use the Q menu with a controller looks like it would be awful. Besides, there'd be a lack of content for it.

Sorry but, you're panicking... why? It has under 100 signatures for one, and the big thing is, Garry has said [b]so many times[/b] that Gmod is never ever coming to consoles. Rust might but frankly who gives a shit about that.
Okay so, I want to know if it's worth it to upgrade my PC from an i5-3570k to an i7-3770k. I want to get the most power out of my system that I can, and I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to CPUs and gaming. If it helps, my other specs are:
Video Card: EVGA GTX780ti
Power Supply: Rosewill Capstone 750W
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 8gb
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;44604913]not even worth it[/QUOTE]
Ah, I figured as much. Really I'm just looking for a way to upgrade my PC more, not so much for practical use as just wanting to do stuff to it.
