Attempt to revive LJ #8342

[alectoperdita]

Seeing as I've begun working on fanfiction again (Joey specifically). This may be a good chance to get in the better habit of writing more in general.

So naturally, instead of working on the next chapter or cleaning up the apartment for our weekend visitor, I was window-shopping for a new gaming headset. Mike and I both share one crappy and one not-as-crappy headset for computer/gaming use, both of which technically belong to him. The truly crappy pair has finally died (good riddance!), so we're down to one semi-broken but functional headset between the two of us playing TF2 daily (gotta grind those new Engineer achievements). But good news! That means I get to shop for my own pair!

So I envisioned hunting down a cute/awesome pair of my own. Except being a girl with some modicum of taste, I was horrified to find that most headsets were black, black, and more black! Mike, of course, laughed at me. Even Skullcandy had much less than impressive designs for their gaming headset line. I settled on the Creative Labs HS-800 Fatal1ty Gaming Headset as the least terrible option. But then I decided to take another look at the glorious Astro Gaming Cross-Gaming A30...

Now I'm a complete sucker for the idea of customizable speaker tags alone... And I really like the design and the slight retro feel of the white pair. But now they're also on sale too, down from $145.95 to $99.95! I would take an Astro over a Tritton in a heartbeat. >.<

To buy or not to buy?

P.S. Track 9 of Joey forthcoming tonight or tomorrow or sometime this weekend or next week...

Hi again!

I've given in and bought the second prettier pair. I really don't think I'll find anything better designed than that.
