Hold my calls

Friends, countrymen, and gamers!

Having just recently graduated from college and accepted a job out of state, I will be moving this week. Under normal circumstances, I'd be able to get my Internet access setup, unbox the Xbox, and be ready to go within a week.

However, soon after moving 300 miles to my new apartment in Columbus, OH, I must travel to Cincinnati for job training. It'll be a furnished condo across the street from the company's corporate headquarters. My boss is telling me that I'll be there for 60 to 90 days.

If there's decent Internet access and an HD TV at the condo, I'd have no problem setting up my Xbox there. But I have a feeling it'll have to stay home with my HD TV in Columbus. I plan on driving back to my new apartment on weekends, so who knows.

Of course, I'm hesitant to set up my Internet access until my job training is complete. First, I don't want to pay for something I won't be using. Second, it's not like I'll have a lot of time to mess around with the shipping and installation.

So I might be gone for a few months. I'll miss "Bad Company 2" on Xbox Live with the gang something fierce. But there will be all sorts of new and exciting games by then, and I'll actually be earning money to afford them. Everyone got along fine without me last summer, so be brave for old F0RCEFL0W and soldier on without me.

Ear Force X11 Gaming Headset Review

This will be a short review of the Turtle Beach X11 Xbox 360/PC gaming headset. Why? Because I assume you know how to use Google. Most of the content you’ll find will tell you the technical specs of the product. My goal is to inform you whether or not the headset is worth your while.Turtle Beach makes at least four models of gaming headsets for the PC/Xbox 360. All of them pull double duty as headphones and microphones. It’s a nice feature, especially if you don’t have a decent sound system for your Xbox or need to keep noise to a minimum.
