Same, it owned. Then I realized "what will chicks think?!" and replaced it with a QCK Mass.

What kind of headsets do you guys use? I just picked up one but I'm not really happy with it and apparently the mic is poo poo (because my teammates complain about it every few games).

Standard advice is to ignore gaming phones and get ones meant for music and a separate mic.

Some Logitech one that was, like, $30. Somehow it has a very clear mic.

I use a pair of Sennheisers with a $15 Logitech headset around my neck for a mic. So far no one has complained and you look MLG as gently caress.

Sennheiser HD555s + Blue Snowball mic.

Stay away from headsets and get a good pair of headphones and a desk mic.

Logitech G430. If, by chance, that's the one you have and your teammates are complaining about it, there's a firmware update that fixes all the clipping issues.

How well does the Snowball work while playing cs? I was eyeing it but it seemed like the stand was a little low for my desktop and it would pick up more of my ad ad'ing on my keyboard than my voice. I use a cheap lapel mic right now with a good pair of cans and although its better than 99% of headsets I feel like its time I got a real mic.

Also what's the difference between the Snowball and the Snowball iCE?

For a pretty cheap desktop mic, I been using the mic on a logitech webcam clipped on top of my screen for years. The sound is pretty good considering the price.

Watching that video makes me curious of how many people buy with the mouse vs keyboard vs just binds.

In all seriousness I have no idea how to buy with the mouse.. And i don't use binds.

I used to buy with binds back in the day, but since they changed up the shortcuts and you have such an ocean of freezetime, I find the mouse works just as well

And the menus aren't the horrible linear mess they were in previous games which made keyboard buy and binds almost a requirement. I played a bit of Source the other day and was consistently stuck for exactly too drat long in spawn remembering where to buy everything.

I use a combination of keyboard and mouse. I also accidentibuy scouts all the time, so don't copy my approach.

I followed that guide and it looks like I had Kernel debugging on and DEP off, so it should be fixed now... But does anyone know what might have caused that? Should I be worried?

(and no, I don't hack :downs:)

A game fix for CTD's that occasionally gets tossed around is disabling DEP and maybe you unparked your cores at some point?

Happened to me a few days ago for the first time too. I ran some of those fixes in command prompt like it asked, but it also coincided with avast asking me to update it. I'd guess it was avast being a dick.
