Xeno's Gamercard Trivia Round 2

For this round, you should PM me the response via the Forums, rather than having a group effort in the thread.

You'll have until 3 PM Eastern to send your answers and whoever gets the most right wins (earlier response wins in the case of a tie).

All the games are on my gamercard, and no games are repeated. (To make it tougher, I skipped a few games).

Any questions, let me know.

I vote that JD's Gamerscore can't go above 66666 until his CUL goes up to 7, and then he can only raise it to 77777. Give him a good challenge in the forums as well as his 360.

Just to make things fair I won't go above 55555 until my CUL goes up to 6.Wink [;)]

Man it's really getting hard to find people to delete to make room for the new FR's. I try to keep people on it that are active, and right now I have 97 people on it after deleting a few last night and today. Everyone that's left have been active within the last few days, with the exception of maybe a couple that I've had on my FL for quite awhile that I just can't bring myself to take off it. I guess the next step is to look at people I haven't played with for awhile.

I have the same problem with my Wife being such a light sleeper. She'll say I have to work in the morning turn it down. Funny thing is I can barely hear it, and I get up with the kids earlier then she does, and I'm 8 years older then she is. Shouldn't I be the one worried about my beauty sleep?

It's hard to play online even if I turn down the volume, because if I try to communicate with my team (my deep voice carries) I end up with her out in my Living/Game room with her arms crossed saying, "Do I really need to be a ***? You're the one causing this.". No wonder I get cornfussed on whether she's my Wife or Mom. lol.

You could probably find something here.

On the left they let you chose between just Headphones and Headsets.

Edit: Don't be afraid to sift through peoples reviews. I like the site, because you'll see more reviews by people like you and me then you do on other sites like CC, BB, etc.

Hi R3CKL3SS.  I do have the Turtle Beach X2s which are ok for playing games but online comms, like Butcher says, can be tricky if the wife's a light sleeper and you need to be heard by the team online. Also, since the voices of your teammates is carried through the same speakers as the game sounds they tend to get drowned out some.  My x2s only have one master volume control for everything so I can't pot up the game chat at all.  But overall, it does the job of keeping all game noises to your head not your room.

Yeah, yeah, I know it's been awhile since we got into a game together. I'm seriously thinking about downloading the GRAW 2 coop pack. I also used my Valentine gift money to get my Wife a Digital Camera since her's got stolen when on our trip to Wild Waves last August, and the whole idea behind her getting a Laptop for Xmas was for her sharing pictures with Friends and Family.

She said it wasn't right for me to give her gifts and use my gift to get her more things. So I shouldn't have any problems getting R6:V2 went it hits.

I had the same problem.  My wife just bought me the Turtle Beach 3x headset for V-day.  It is great.  You can hear both the game effects plus the chat.  It covers both ears and the volume for each (chat/sound) are independently controlled to what you like.  With these I can hear the gmae (especially footsteps in COD...weird) and understand all the chatter all with the TV volume off.  They are very comfortable and easy to set-up.

The catch you ask...well...they are quite cost prohibitive at $100.  I did see the Turtle Beach 1x are around $60 but haven't really heard any reviews excpet for there are alot of wires.

If not for my loving wife wanting me to be quite at 2am I would have been scared by the price.  After using them for a little while I probably won't use anything else.

My two cents........do I get change back???
