Life Advice / Ghetto Headset
« on: February 20, 2013, 04:36:31 pm »
I've been playing planetside 2 lately.

The thing is, I own a mic, and I own headphones, but they aren't attached to each other, they use 3.5 mm jacks. I was wondering if there was any program out there that would allow me to use them in conjunction as a headset.

as always, thanks guys.

Been playing NC a lot more now.

And I overheard the squad leaders talking about the vanguard. Said it used to be the NC's saving grace then it got nerfed. o_O

So I'm thinking as long as this doesn't turn into the three factions from MAG, I won't rage quit the game.

One time we were pushing on howling pass and the vanu were close to abandoning it. When we took it I went to buy a lightning and lo and behold somebody put like three tank mines right in front of the spawn pad. BOOM.

You clever bastards.

The mouse axes cannot be bound with different controls than pitch and roll. This makes it basically impossible for me to figure out a decent control scheme for flight.

If I had pitch on the vertical axis and yaw on the horizontal axis I could aim the gun not unlike the land-based vehicles or infantry weapons and actually be able to hit stuff.

This, I mapped it this way in battlefield 3 and I was a pretty decent helo pilot. But jesus these controls are impossible.

Anyway I got a matherson NC character now.

Okay I'm trying to get the hang of flying but, it just feels like its impossible without the aid of a joystick.

My main problem is when you move the mouse up, it pitches you up then stops dead. So if you're in say, a dogfight, you gotta pick the mouse up and keep rolling up just to keep that turn going. Then I tried binding pitch and roll to my numpad and say just screw the mouse, but that's almost just as hard as it decides to turn really fast and makes it hard to aim.

So... any advice here?

I ended up picking TR cause they're color scheme is cooler. :P

And wow I need a thousand certs to unlock a rifle. What. I'm barely around 50 at 4 hours of playing.

So I wanted to ask about how good tv tuner cards or those tv-to-usb sticks are. I'm considering getting one.

Okay so now that I got my new beefy computer up and running, and its using my universities pretty powerful landline connection. I'm downloading planetside 2.

So uh, what faction should I pick? And on that note, what do I need to know.

the HD 7850 is great for 1080p gaming, you can easily run alot of games at 60fps from high to ultra settings. for ram 8gb is good enough for anything, i only ran into problems when i start getting memory leaks and such but other than that no reason for 16gb.

That's what I have. Its awesome.

You lot better make this woman your president.

As I watched this video a rainbow suddenly appeared in my drink.

This woman is awesome.

yeah you need a res 1 sensor and a fc with a tracking speed at least of 64000,
not considering the fact that you'll need some huge meson to pass the atmosphere and hit at range

Nah just a size one missile with really good engine tech.

I just flipped the mouse pad over to its rubber side. So there's no possible way the mouse could be moving, and it was still drifting all over the place.

So I think its the sensor on the mouse that's causing it.

also trolling should be only done for fun between two people who accept it, or when someone is obviously acting out of what is commonly accepted as proper behavior in the community. Examples of out of "proper behavior" being unwarranted self-importance, posting stupid shit (this is of course relative), being arrogant when you have no reason to be so, being needlessly agressive, etc...

So basically trolling a troll is warranted?

I'm sure there are people who have the aforementioned traits genuinely, as opposed to through trolling, but the two are nearly indistinguishable from text alone.

Its a dorm desk and they didn't provide any holes in the back of the thing so you gotta wrap the cord up around the front, and my arm hangs off the end. So I suppose that's that then. I'm also weird and like to have the pointer speed relatively high.

I did a quick fix type thing.

I DL'd the producers driver for the mouse, and I lowered the DPI by like 200. Since the mouse settings in the OS were either mouse drift or too slow, this allowed a more precise setting. Plus I can lower the DPI and raise the OS pointer speed which is a neat way to prevent mouse drift.
