What sort of equipment should I get if I want to easily control the volume of my headphones and I don't have a multimedia keyboard? I have a pair of HD555 and onboard audio.

I like my mx518 but my hands hate the plastic surface. The g500 is $70 on newegg, what are some cheaper options?

Is Xpadder the best program for using a xbox 360 controller with older games? I want to play through Pyschonauts and Beyond good and evil.

So ubisoft launcher servers are down, can't run AC2 even in offline mode. DRM owns.

A Fancy 400 lbs posted:Yup. I find it hilarious that it happened right when people are going to be replaying AC2 to get ready for Brotherhood. Way to piss people off with your DRM right before your big new game comes out. Have they confirmed whether Brotherhood will be using UbiDRM or not? Pretty sure it will use the same thing as AC2 has now.

RPS talks to some Lionhead dude. GFWL comment: RPS: What about the use of Games For Windows Live? I guess you must be aware that it’s not exactly popular with a lot of people. How much has being part of Microsoft enabled you to tailor it to your game? quote:Josh Atkins: The way we treat GFWL, and I think this is both a pro and I’ll be honest a con too, is that we treated it a lot like we think about Xbox Live, because the parity between the two platforms is something that is important to Microsoft, right. And they so feel like one integrated system… As kind of a specific example, but I think it will make sense, going back to Coin Golf, it was important that it not just work with Xbox, but that it work with Xbox or a PC. That whole Live universe didn’t feel like Games For Windows Live and Xbox Live and Live on the phone –that it felt like one thing. That was kind of our approach for it, to make sure that it felt like it should feel if you’re playing on the console, that you get the same general vibe for it. They are never going to change it, are they. The funniest thing is you can't even chat with friends outside of the game, thanks Microsoft! Did they consider the fact that I don't want to think I am using a PC and not a console? Just utter nonsense really.

The Gunslinger posted:I've read that twice and still can't figure out what the hell he is saying. I hate marketing speak. What I am getting from that is that they don't know or care that most people at best are ambivalent to GFWL and at worst outright hate it. Seems like the Microsoft party line about Xbox Live. And a token "we are working on it" thrown in there for good measure.

Thom P. Tiers posted:I'm open to this option, but I would like to be able to switch easily from my speakers and headset. Having the USB sound option is nice because I can just right click on volume and set my playback device. With both my speakers and the Sennheiser's using the same jack, is there any easy fix or playback switch for this option? Onboard will be fine. If you want to switch outputs quickly, just use Soundswitch, which is made by goon thermopyle. http://blog.contriving.net/2009/05/04/a-hotkey-to-switch-between-headphones-and-speakers-soundswitch/

arca posted:are these headphones really that great? I've used some steel series 3H's for eons because the quality is great for a £20 set of headphones but they aren't that comfortable and my mic just broke. I would says so, yeah. They are $84 here: http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD555-Professional-Headphones-Channeling/dp/B0001FTVDQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1306609423&sr=8-3 Dont know about amazon UK, but I would purchase them if you can find them under $90 or so. The thing with a nice set of headphones like this is they will most likely last for 10 years. I have had lots of cheap headsets and headphones break on me over the years, so I decided to stop throwing money away on the cheap poo poo and get the 555.

sethsez posted:This was also the case with EADM, since you could either buy games from it or retail, but they were nowhere to be found on Steam for months. Someone posted the Origin roadmap somewhere and it included cool stuff like iOS/Android integration and other cool stuff. The only thing I am not looking forward to is if EA blocks BF3 preorders from Steam. ElProducto posted:Bulletstorm and Dragon Age II were both huge EA releases that came out on Steam day one. Also Battlefield 3 and ME3 will come out day one. Yes, but the BF3 preorders include some neat things. If Steam doesn't get a preorder then Steam users are kind of hosed, since some of the items are preorder only.

SpaceDrake posted:If anything, there's been kind of a swing back to PCs in recent years, not due to the extra power available before the "new" consoles drop but due to the fact that big companies see all of these indies making gobs of money in the vacuum that's been left behind in recent years, never mind all the MMO money. PC gaming seriously isn't going anywhere any time soon, unless there's some kind of larger death of the PC platform thanks to ~smartphones~ and ~tablets~. (Hint: not too likely for various reasons) PC gaming is going nowhere for at least another 15-20 years. People forget just how massive the audience is, and with hardware prices so low and the ease of use of setting the hardware up, the barrier of entry lowers. I would imagine that if Sony joins Microsoft and charges for their online, people will get fed up with pay p2p matchmaking and play more PC games.

Rekkit posted:I honestly don't understand the whole PC gaming is dying arguments. Please, someone tell me you see the future like I do. The consoles of today will always be closed platforms. There is too much money and not enough motivation to make them open. I think it will go to other way, people will have a "PC" in their living rooms with Steam large text edition on it. Valve will make their own wireless controller and bam, console.

Jawtramp posted:Alright pc gamerz, quick accessory question incoming. I have used the Logitech G7 for many years now. Hell, I've owned three (including this one) just because I couldn't get a replacement for when the previous two finally bitched out. Anyway, I know the MX-518 is really good, but is there a wireless version of it? I noticed it has the same body style as the G7, so what I'm really asking is, has anyone owned a G7 and moved onto another wireless Logitech mouse that felt just as good? I was looking at the G700 but I wonder how much more of a difference it would make to my older G7. The G400 comes out tomorrow. I'd get that since you don't really need wireless.

BIFF! posted:No it won't. Even when it tracks the time it doesn't even work or report it correctly. At least in my experience. Better to just not care and/or make a spreadsheet. Positronic Spleen posted:Since people are talking about mice again, I'd like to ask again, is the R.A.T. 7 worth it? It's another $25 above the G400, but it has about six times the DPI, more buttons, and all that shape adjusting. I'm also concerned about how reliable it is, something that complex should be far more prone to problems, right? No jesus. Higher DPI means gently caress all, you don't need more buttons and why in the world would you get something from Madcatz when you can order from Logitech and then do a RMA in four years when it breaks?

Blackula69 posted:For the price of a gaming laptop you can buy a better gaming desktop and get a cheap laptop for school/travelling/whatever. I bought an open box HP 4420s for $400 from eBay and it's awesome for everything except the latest games, for which I have an awesome desktop that cost me less than $900 This has been the correct combo for a couple years now. Desktop + Netbook. Soon it will probably be desktop + tablet, at least for me.

It's been cutting out at random for the last few days, and tonight I tried jiggling the wire a little and now I can't get the LED to come on at all. I can't afford a new one(poor college student who JUST dropped his money on a new motherboard/processor/RAM) so I'm stuck with my V220 laptop mouse Logitech support is legendary. Just fill out a support request and they will most likely just verify your current mouse and send you out a brand new one. NihilCredo posted:What's a good way to clean soft mousepads? It's a Steelseries QCK Heavy (the kind that's almost 1 cm thick) and by now it looks like it's growing dandruff with all the white dust on it. I've tried wet and dry cloths, sponges, and beating it like a carpet. I clean my QCK in the shower with me when it gets a little dingy. I just use regular soap and dry it out, works OK so far.
