Actually, my girlfriend loves this game, and she hasn't had much experience with Magic. Yes, it stinks that you can't customize decks ... but, it lowers the barrier of entry without destroying the game.
I bought the 1st expansion ... not bad - it's got a mini-campaign, three new decks, and some more of those fun challenges. It's definitely been worth the price of purchase for the amount of use it's gotten.
Bah. I still have my Duels of the Planeswalkers by Microprose from '94. It took some tweaking to get to run on a modern machine but it's still the best MtG game out there.
Just wish there were more cards for it. Like Stangg. #magic
@crecente: As long as you were masticating and swallowing within your own abode I guess it's ok...of course, I'm concerned about Fahey listening to it... #modernwarfare2
Hhhmmmm Definitely considering picking one up then, even if it will be a while before I pick up the actual game. It's not like you can only use it with MW2 afterall... #modernwarfare2
Shame this isn't out on PC, might of picked one up.
Having a mic in front of your face can be a bit off putting sometimes.
Though I like using a headset for FPS, so I dunno...
Though I have an old mic headset lying about, hmm could be a good weekend project....
Edit: weekend project would involve turning a regular PC mic into a throat mic. not converting this to work on PC, this has the wrong type of connector for even a 2.5mm to 3.5mm to work. Hooray for propriety hardware.
@deanbmmv: Just do the simple thing, wear headphones and use a mic. I used to wear a cheap headset with a mic around my neck and my good headphones around my head.
The jack just looks like a mini jack. You should be fine connecting it to your computer with either a adapter, or just cut the wire and make two 1/4'' jacks. #modernwarfare2
@Shin: We sure it'd have to work?
360 controller just registers as a HID device, not a sound device. I't'd be annoyingly redundant too having to hook up a 360 control pad, then hook this up with the controller hanging off your neck while playing games. #modernwarfare2
@deanbmmv: It's the same mini-headphone jack cell-phones use, it just has an extra band on it to seperate the mic input from the shared ground. #modernwarfare2
@deanbmmv: Yes, but if you were to cut the wire you would see a wire for the mic, and a wire for the earpiece. A converter would do this too except be more expensive. #modernwarfare2
@deanbmmv: Yes, I would guess the wires would be pretty thin. My solution would be to buy a female minijack connector and wire it that way. Length can be fixed with a extender.
Either way, it won't be long till we see some better quality PC ones showing up. #modernwarfare2
@deanbmmv: all I can say is that 360 mics are recognised as usb audio on win xp when hooked up (or "paired" in my case as I have a wireless mic) to a 360 controller. #modernwarfare2
Yikes, one or two more track packs and Rock Band will have more Foo Fighters songs in it than most of the "single band" Guitar Hero games. I mean, more of them than the featured bands have in their respective games.
@Super Violent St. Cannon- GOTY Edition ([k]): Muse comment seconded. How about a deal similar to the one they have with Green Day? Y'know, a few songs from their most recent release now, then a bunch more down the line. For example:
"The Resistance" 3-Pack:
Uprising
Resistance
Unnatural Selection
Then...
Muse 8-Pack:
Cave
Showbiz
New Born
Hyper Music
Time Is Running Out
Thoughts of a Dying Atheist
Map of the Problematique
Knights of Cydonia
@Super Violent St. Cannon- GOTY Edition ([k]): I love those crazy kids. I saw them live, and they were great. They weren't the band I came to see, but they were good enough that I decided to buy their album. And, of course, the album was good enough that I decided to make them one of my favorite bands. #rockbandmusicstore

Glad to see there are more expansions on the way!

Would be interesting to play with speakers on and eliminate that awful echo effect. #modernwarfare2

The biggest reason I hate using mic headsets is because of how uncomfortable they are, but I can't use this. #modernwarfare2

But yeah, with a neck mic I'd still use a headset. Just don't need a headset/mic combo one. #modernwarfare2

At least I hope its like what Ned sounds like from South Park when he lost his voice box.

That's just great.

I hate to be "that guy" about bitching about wanting this or that, but seriously, that song owns and would be awesome in RB or GH. #rockbandmusicstore
