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
@Pretty Pink Pwnie: When I played wow, and my main headset/mic broke, I used to braid a "collar" mic into my beard and wear regular headphones while I was on vent.
I literally tied, with my beard hair, a microphone into my beard.
And your post there reminded me of those manly days of yore. #modernwarfare2
@UncleBiz: You only look like a complete dweeb if you think you look like a complete dweed. This same technology has been used by military personell around the world since WWII. Hopefully now you'll be more confident
@UncleBiz: I'm sure that's a big concern when your sitting alone in your room. I mean this is a major step down to the normal headsets that make you look so fucking awesome. #modernwarfare2
@Handsome Al: If you play that for more than 8 minutes your spine bends beyond repair. That's how much he's risking to look cool, and he's doing it FUCKING well.
@-MasterDex-: I'm sure it's great and all for practical uses, but you have to admit, it looks silly.
@sereal: there are usually other people in the house when i'm using a headset. and i don't have a tv in my room. plus, i actually do think the normal headsets are pretty neato looking #modernwarfare2
@UncleBiz: It looks fine to me, you're just believe it looks silly (or someone laughed at you when you were wearing it and now you feel silly wearing it). I remember the first time I started using a headset I felt silly but it soon became nearly a constant on my head. #modernwarfare2
@-MasterDex-: You realize that this is NOT a throat mic. It's a microphone at your throat, not working off the vibrations from your vocal cords like a real military throatmic works right?
Thats why it isnt called a throat mic. It's a 'throat communicator' #modernwarfare2

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
