If you're really moving a lot and don't/can't move the boom with your facehole, I think you'd be better off with a lapel (small clip on) mic. While it's true that you will always be heard, you lose depth in the voice fast if you move away from even the larger mic's. I used a large condenser mic for a while during gaming, but I move and reposition a lot, more then I like to adjust the boom. So now I use an Antlion ModMic that clips on my headphones.

    Wow, real jokesters our parents, lol. Pfff, I was so hyped for the same reason. Playing Halo at a friends house impressed me almost as much as playing Super Mario 64 at a relatives house did. I never really played Goldeneye so playing Halo felt like 3d shooters were finally a thing on consoles to me, and the co-op was hella fun too! And i liked the big chonker controller!

    Very true, but 14yo me preferred 16h long gaming sessions. We even got that OG Xbox for Christmas, although my dad did have to prank us by first only putting the DVD remote under the tree and be like "yeah, so when you do get it, you have this upgrade already, isn't that neat??". Then he went up and got the final surprise gift: the OG Xbox. That actually might be the first time I remember being exhausted from hype. Wtf, me and my brother were so happy with it.

    He never got to know this, but we already knew what was coming. We knew the secret gifts hiding spot they used, and took our time to professionally open and repackage that gift when our parents were out one night. We didn't even need to really fake our surprise, we were so hyped to be finally able to play on it.

    Yeah, and what if they copied your soup, and then freely distribute those calories. Crazy. Or you make a good soup one-time, and then they use your recipe, without so much as asking. Wow. So flagrant.

    If you see soupthing, say something. Illegally copied soup isn't food, it's CONTRABAND!
