that's probably why i thought it was going to be a USB headset. it's not a huge deal, but, it's annoying to go plug things into the back of the computer.
any adapters available?

I'm pissed at EB, I'm pissed at Best Buy, and I'm pissed at Epic.
EB apparently is switching people to the regular edition and shipping those out. Best Buy stores did not get 10 copies in and sold them ebfore the 18th. And Epic blew the logistics of the special edition release. Arrrrgggh.

i actually found a cheap pair (creative 270 ) for $21... but i kept thinking, i don't want to get another pair of cheap speakers.
i also looked at getting the Audigy2 NX - an external USB soundcard... but, again, a lot of effort just so i didn't have to plug in the mic to the back...
and then, hey! why don't i just get an extension cable from radio shack!

the Bestbuy in NYC didn't have the Special Edition this morning. when asked, they claimed they put out the SE version the night before release date because.....get this...."the 'available 3/18' price in the circular wasn't directly over the SE version, only over the regular edition." biggest bunch of morons on this planet!!

OMG hidden vehicle
Don't know if it's real as i havn't seen it in action but I wouldn't doubt that it is considering the sense of humor at epic
The porn in the magazine rack on the side is a good touch. They also say it makes a flushing sound when you get on it lol
oh and here's a video

ok it's real
this is from the atari forums straight from one of the developers
oh btw this game is superb... i have everything at the highest setting and running in 1280X1024X32 and it runs flawlessly. I did like though, when you put everything at the highest settings the anouncer says HOLLLLLLY SHITTTTTTTTTTT

So you guys finally found it! HaHaHaHa!! Yeah, great vehicle that one. Nate needed a toilet for a spoof map he was making, then he saw what I was making and said "put wheels on it!"
Shortly after, it became this........thing. Keep looking. There are still other interesting....tidbits....on teh TC.
Fuzzlebunny, it was all Epic, btw...

yeah i saw that, and it isn't nearly as bad as the real picture. I wouldn't think it would be a big deal as long as you don't post anything that looks any closer to the original. Anyone who has seen the original will know what it is and anyone who hasn't won't get it anyways

Can't believe I actually got a copy of the SE today at BB. They only had 6 copies this morning (4 sold yesterday...most likely to employees), and I was 4th in line before they opened.
It was really nice not having to swith discs while installing. Now I gotta see how the headphones work. I've got a live drive, so I'm hoping that I can just plug everything into it without fiddling with the back of my pc.

Got a copy this morning from Best Buy, quite happy - VERY impressive game. Excellent price, great game - I'm happy.
That's really, REALLY, ridiculously lame about them putting it out the night before, it seems like our store had sold quite a few copies the night prior.
It's also quite nice that they opted to include DivX files of the tutorials, they tend to run a lot better than DVDs themselves here.
The ****** and Toilet Vehicle are hysterical.
