Just amused me, figured I'd share.
And cat people are the future anyway so might as well get used to it.

It looks like they are actually $115 and the extra $35 is for tax/shipping. At least it has a detachable 3.5mm cable, I guess.
$150?
Grab some AD700s, HD598s, or M50s.
Speaking of crazy headphones, I was looking at some particularly nice ones last night
$1000

Looks like I'll be doing some headset shopping then, yippee. Current pair seem to suddenly be fucked, not quite sure why, they were fine like 2 hours ago. I'll be having a wee look in the specific thread of course.

Challenge accepted! Wait...
to be fair, FF13-2 starts briskly and keeps being brisk, you have sidequests, minigames, talks with NPC, exploring and all that stuff, even puzzles. Then you arrive to Academia 400AF ... *shudders*
Price range?

I can't see me going over £50, and that would be including a microphone too. My current pair is a Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000, which was a pretty decent budget option I felt.

It's mine too, and I'll definitely be voting for it.
Love stealth. I'll check it out thanks.
Wish I had more time to play games.
Alien can't be good for my heart though. Just opened a door thinking I was safe and it was right there. Shouted out loud...

Platinum Games are truly the kings of videogame asses.
I'm sorry, but Styx is winning hands down.
Yes, Alien:Isolation is prettier and has better audio design, but I much prefer Styx's stealth gameplay over the terrifying one in A:I =p

A bit early to say that don't you think? Even you could still change your mind, there's Evil Within for example.

Pretty much my dream-headphones. Those and the Stax SR-009. ~$4000 though...
oh headphones talk. I was meaning to share it but keep forgetting. I accidentally bought headphones, cheap ones too, that might be most comfortable headgear ever. Check this out:

I forget that I wear headphones while wearing them, never happened to me before, I went and bought 2 more, in case they stop producing them (><)
edited: almost forgot, comes with 5 year warranty too

Rhaknar's stream is buffering every 10 seconds ... wonder why. I watch other streams without buffer
Nah, Alien Isolation takes, the cake, it's rare for a movie IP to be turned into a fantastic game, let alone a studio whose primary output is just RTS games who then decided to create the greatest Alien game ever made.
TEW is going to be good, but it's going to more of the same, I mean it's just RE4 part 2 in my mind right now. A:I has more going for it and feels more fresh in a sense than TEW.
His stream is on Netflix from a year ago?
Anyone have this issue when using 2 screens with steam - windows on the second screen, especially maximized don't respond when clicking on the buttons like resize or max window or close or something! I can still click on friends or launch games...sometimes but it always ends up getting stuck there and I need to disable dual screen to fix it.

Might be the bitrate he streams at.

I love my HE-400s but lately they've been so uncomfortable. Really need to upgrade to either the 400i's(redesigned for better comfort) or get the 560s. Will have to wait a bit though given the very high paying job didn't work out at the last minute
LCD2's will be mine one day as well.

Red drives are not really designed for desktop use. They are made for NAS, got one of them in mine. Just to keep in mind.
Also you don't need to have every single game in your library installed. 1TB WD Blue is sure enough for me.

Thankfully that's not what it is and it isn't just more of the same.
Styx is definitely one of my favorite games this year, so good.
WD's "Red" drives are just "Black" drives with NAS software. You can't go wrong either way, so if for some reason the Red 2TB is cheaper, go for it.
Check out prices in your area for Superlux HD668B, Audio Technica AD500x/AD700x/AD700, Grado SR60e/SR80e, or AKG K612/K240.
It's been such a banner year for games that it will be tough for anything. Dark Souls II, Transistor, Divinity, Banished, Shovel Knight, Wolfenstein, Wasteland 2, Alien, TEW, Civilization, Binding of Isaac, with more to come and more that I assuredly forgot.

560s were another pair I was looking at last night.

I don't think it is stream. Jumping around and I see the issue on other streams too...heh.

My WD black has been going strong for 2 years now. Unlucky.
Harddrives are such a sensitive piece of hardware that the issue likely cropped up in shipping. Components that have one of the higher chances of failure.
im not gonna lie...that was fun. fuck that fucking fire tho
like I sid on the stream, I might actually play the whole game like this. time wise is that ok, around this hour? kinda ideal for me because its shortly before I have to go to work and shit (if I wasnt off today, I would go to work in half an hour for example).
there seemed to be a few peeps on the chat so cant be a terrible time of the day
edit: quality wise did it hold up? my goofy voice aside? if so, thats by far the best part of this new rig, and I didnt even think about it

Thanks a lot, looks like the Superlux is in my price range. Would you recommend the Zalman ZMMIC1 Lapel Microphone? It's in the "Frequently Bought Together with this item" on Amazon with the Superlux.

Seriously, it's been a fantastic year for games, especially on PC. I just about burst out laughing when that guy posted yesterday that the only good game on PC this year was the new Civ game, until I realized he was serious.

I'm a fan of the Greens since you won't notice the speed differences in most cases (better install games with long load times on an SSD) and they're much more silent. Though I read the newer Greens aren't as silent as the old ones even when they're named the same.
I actually want a 6TB, and there are no 6TB Blacks.
Red drives are not really designed for desktop use. They are made for NAS, got one of them in mine. Just to keep in mind.
Also you don't need to have every single game in your library installed. 1TB WD Blue is sure enough for me.
Wolfenstein and Rage alone account for about 100GB between themselves. I like to go back and replay them every once in a while. I only have ~200 of my ~1500 game collection installed.
That really sucks. My 2 and 4TB Blacks have no problems at all.
Notice me senpai!!
What is your upload speed ?
I anwsered in twitch chat
I anwsered that...i dont know lol. 10 megs maybe? I have no idea
Aww man the Audeze LCD-2 are my dream headphones ;_; but I'm too poor so I'm trying to save up for HE-400 to replace my AKG 240s.

Yea a huge part of it is luck since plenty of reviews raved about it.
Kinda sucks. Big and affordable SSDs can't come soon enough.
Hnnng that 1TB SSD at <$200.
