"Recently, Blizzard Entertainment implemented a Real ID feature for some of its current games and all of its future Battle.net-based games. Today, Blizzard announced that it intends to require usage of the real names of Battle.net posters for its StarCraft II forums before release, and for its World of Warcraft forums shortly before the release of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. From the announcement: 'The first and most significant change is that in the near future, anyone posting or replying to a post on official Blizzard forums will be doing so using their Real ID — that is, their real-life first and last name — with the option to also display the name of their primary in-game character alongside it. These changes will go into effect on all StarCraft II forums with the launch of the new community site prior to the July 27 release of the game, with the World of Warcraft site and forums following suit near the launch of Cataclysm. Certain classic forums, including the classic Battle.net forums, will remain unchanged.'"

I guess a fair amount of people already registered with fake names to battle.net but REALLY Blizzard? Really...?

Thoughts?


Nadal vs Nishikori on center court atm, nice to see Nadal back at wimbledon.

There was an amazing game yesterday, Federer taken to 5 sets (and almost losing) to a rank 60 player.

Call of Duty: Wolfenstein

Since my current headset seems to be slowly dieing, I'm looking to replace it.

One option is just to do what I've always done and get another headset, probably something along the lines of a Sennheiser PC161

However, another option which I think I would prefer is to buy some proper headphones along the lines of Sennheiser HD280's and solve the microphone problem another way

I've got absolutely no experience with mics outside of headsets, so if someone does a similar thing or can point me to a good model or brand I would appreciate it

I was thinking just something that would clip onto my shirt? I want to avoid those desktop mics if possible.

(Any suggestions for the actual headphones are welcome too, unfortunately I'll probably be using them outside of home so I can't really go open phones, which is why I was looking at the HD280's)

nb: keeping old soundcard (soundblaster) and old gfx (7950 GT)

Aiming to push my Q6600 to 3.4Ghz, and still be capable for the 4780HD when I decide to upgrade. I did some calculations and, if I did it right I think 650W should be ok for the time being...

With my current GFX I got a value of ~450W, and with a 4780HD I got ~540W, and this is at PEAK load so it will usually be much less than that.

This is all theory though, something which completely ignores the degradation that happens as PSU's age... thats why in say 1-2 years time I'm not sure if my PSU would handle it all so well, and why I'm thinking of going 750W TX.

Thoughts?

If I mucked anything else up or you have recommendations now would be the time to tell me.

HOW DID THIS GET HERE

As we all know, Rez is awesome.


Now I'm looking for similar games which aren't overly taxing/complex, preferably have an awesome soundtrack, and are just amazingly fun to play.

Any suggestions?
