I made my microphone using the Primo em172 microphone capsule, but there are loads of different brands and prices of microphone, usually the ones in gaming headsets are the super cheap ones. mine was on the more expensive side of things at £10 (about $15ish) but you can pick up capsules for less than $5 so if you mess up its not too big a deal. In terms of messing up that would be very difficult. Microphone capsules are just that, they are encapsulated, the worst you can do is melt it with the soldering iron, but even that i probably difficult to do. Once you have got all soldering done and tested the microphone to make sure it works it may be worth putting some glue over the solder joints just to make sure they wont fall off easily. Then for casing you can do as you wish really, you could leave it with no case and glue it on a paperclip to attach to your headset or you can possibly use it as a desk microphone depending on the sensitivity of the mic capsule. I have mine inside a copper tube with a 3.5mm jack on one end and the microphone on the other which i think looks fairly snazzy. But i get that doing little hobby projects like that may not be your thing. In which case there are lots of microphones on the market. If you want a good quality one for your headset then you may wish to look at something similar to the antlion modmic. You just attach the mount to the side of your headset and then you can place the microphone arm on that, then use some form of wire management to keep the wires together. If you want to go as cheap as possible then just find the cheapest desk mic on amazon and get that. The quality will not be good enough for youtube but for communication it will probably do. If you want to go high end then there are even more options. But i wouldn't recommend it to be honest, most people have absolutely no need for a high end microphone. So the money would probably be better spent elsewhere. But usually for vocal work you would want a large diaphragm condenser microphone of some description with a pop shield in front of it, if possible with a shock mount and some form of reflexion filter.
I'll have to wait until my phone has arrived from the Vodafone repair thing until I can access my steam account again. Great. (I've been waiting for over a week and herad nothing about the phone :|)
My sister also hasn't had any positive experiences with Vodafone in the past, but I can't switch since my parents think that the 10€ a month contract is the best thing in the world :|
I recently flashed a new ROM on my N4 due issues, and I had to reset the Steam Guard thing. When you log in you get the option to receive the code via SMS. That's unless you sent your phone on service with the SIM still in it. In that case I'd go to Vodafone and ask the SIM back, or the job to be freaking done.
We still have the Sim, but we don't have any other phones we could put it into to read the code. --edit-- This will be "fun" It's just gonna be a test btw, I wanna see what it's like to "make" a forum. --edit2-- I looked at some of the admin tools, and I'd imagine if I just played around with them for a bit I'd be able to create something that would be acceptable for public viewing There is pretty much literally nothing on the forums right now btw.
When you are ill and get woken up by some ricers red lining their engines shortly followed by screeching tires at 1:30 am you find a whole new hatred for them, especially when it takes until 6am to get back to sleep again due to the whole being half zombiefied thing.
Spent some time on firmware for said blinky necklace. Took a 2 hour round trip to get the 1 part I am missing too
-Buy's GTA San Andreas on Steam. -Tries to install a trainer and speedometer mod. -Discovers that all good mods and trainers needs something called CLEO. -CLEO is incompatible for GTA SA on Steam. -Did tutorials to get it working. -Failed because 64-bit Windows. ... Although, I installed 4 car mods and a sound mod.
So after about 6 and a half hours my 4 people (including me) birthday party is over. If I had to sum it up in a few words I'd say : "It was absolutely mental, I'll do it again next year."
If you get GTA SA on an android powered device you can install CLEO on your android device as well. Its pretty neat having CLEO on your phone.
CLEO won't run on Steam's version of GTA SA if it's up-to-date. The tutorials I watched on YouTube said that you need to downgrade gta-sa.exe from whatever version Steam has to v1.0 or v1.1 (Like downgrading GTA 4 from v1.0.7.0 to v1.0.4.0). For some reason, when I try to run the downgraded version of the exe, my computer would say this: People said this problem is with 64-bit Windows.
