Last part, yepyep. Of course the two are highly unrelated, but they fit together best as far as time went.
And sorry, my mic went REALLY bad for the games. The only place that had room involved me using the full length of my wire, so the mic itself was closer to my face.
NOTE: Yes, I use a PS2 and not a PS3, shut it. There are VERY FEW games I'm interested in for the PS3 (mostly the R&CF ones), and that isn't even all the games I indend to get for the PS2. If the PS3 had better/any BC, then logic says that it would be the better buy for me.
