I am looking for a sturdy, and well designed gaming headset with mic for communicating with my Guild. I had a fairly good one last year that I bought for $100 but it broke (literally in half) a few months into owning it. Also, my friends always complained about the staic.

So, basically I am asking all you gamers out there what headsets you use. Specifically, I'm looking for Durability, Great Sound Quality, a a good mic that doesn't present static. Any Headset sitting at or below $100 would be fine... so -- what do you PC gamers use?

...AKA 'Bigfoot', Sasquatch, Skunk Ape, or any other name given the large hairy, and extremely shy bipedal hominid that some claim wander some regions of the Northern US and Canada?

There was a great deal of controversy after the game.. what are your thoughts? Did Barcelona win through persistence or was Chelsea Robbed by the officials?

Does anyone know where I might catch a replay of this game online? I hear I missed a blowout!

So whats the take on socks +sandles... I know the asian culture does not frown on this combination but when I go to work, whether I have pants or shorts, the socks+sandles combo I wear seems to draw comments.

So I understand that this seems to warrant a visit from the fashion police.. however is there any combination of socks+sandles for guys that may be considered ok?

Side note: socks+sandles are so damn comfortable! Perhaps a brand of sock?

You may wish for anything except more wishes :)

Without going on a rant about Starbucks, I thought I would ask everyone's opinion on the best coffee in their local towns! In Austin, the best coffee I've ever had was at an Italian restaurant on 4th street called "Taverna".

What about in your town?

Ok, perhaps 'steal' is too strong in this case. In 2003 my mother died, and less than a year later my father re-married. In the interim he sold our house and asked us to come over and take whatever we liked from the home before everything was tossed out. Well, Tina, my sister, upon agreement was given everything that was my mothers and we both came over to the house and basically took whatever family heirlooms we liked.

In the end, we each ended up with things that we liked but there was some discussion about other matters, like the family albums. She wanted to share them, and I did not want to split them up -- rather, I wanted to copy them for both of us. Admittedly I have not really moved on that plan.

Well, recently I went on vacation for two weeks and asked her to care for my cat while I was gone. When I returned she called me a few days later to tell me she took all of the family albums out of my house and was planning to copy them.

I know my sister however, and I know that if I say or do nothing she will just keep them and this will never get resolved. I don't want too -- as I love her very much by I find myself very hurt by her actions... betrayed in a way. My trust in her is dashed, and I am not sure how to proceed. I don't want to fight with her but these family albums are our heritage and I feel she took advantage of my trust to gain what she selfishly wanted for herself.

Any suggestions on how I should proceed? I am very angry and hurt but at the same time I don't want to distance myself from my only living family.... any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
