I need them so my neighbors can stop calling the police when I play Gears =/ Seriously, do you know how much it sucks to have the police at your door bitching over video game gunshots?

I live in a 50 year old cabin where the floor boards between the upstairs and downstairs weren't even thought for sound proofing in the slightest. The TV being at it's quietest volume seeps upstairs and blocks me out of games constantly.

I'm paying myself through college and can't afford anything like this, and my only way to get out of the noises of this house are by using my wired headset and my $20 Sony headphones I bought a year ago... they hurt my ears from all the pressure the combination puts on them. How can somebody kill Zombies with aching ears??

I need a headset so I don't wake up my sick grandmother. I try to keep the TV turned down low, but sometimes it wakes her up anyway, and she's in some pain.

I NEED THE GAME GAME BECAUSE I LOVE MY TRIGGER HAPPY FINGERS. THIS IS BEST WAYTO USE GUNS AND AMMUNITION OR IT IS THE REASON GUNS WERE INVENTED. IN REAL LIFE WE DONT USE GUNS TO THEIRS FULL ADVANTAGE UNLESS WE HAVE REAL LIFE ZOMBIES.
I NEED THE HEADPHONES BECAUSE I DONT KNOW THE TRUE DOLBY DIGITAL SOUND ANYMORE. I WANT THE BEST SOUND POSSSIBLE AND I BELIVE THHE EADPHONES WILL DO THE JOB PERFECLY.

A short Descriptive Essay as to the

"The Social Importance of Having a Turtle Beach Headset for the purpose of Slaying Undead Miscreants"



It's 10:00; Do you know where those zombies are ? If you are asking yourself this question, it is probably time to invest in a pair of Turtle Beach Headsets. Unfortunately not everyone can afford one despite of the obvious benefits, both personal, family, and environmental. This short evocation will show the significance of owning a pair for the survival of family, personal dignity, and fellow-zombie-hunters.



First off, lets consider the most important cultural aspect of the turtle beach Audio amplification module. While slaying the undead is obviously important, the ears of the living biologicals is even more so. The constant slaying of undead creatures will obviously harm the parent-child, brother-sister, and possibly great grand parent-child relationship. For those that can hear the constant vibrations of multiple shotgun blasts can cause undo mental emotional harm, leading to yelling, screaming and possibly weeping. On these grounds alone it would be highly beneficial if one ( who could that be ) were to obtain a pair. Having a set of Turtle Beach headsets would eliminate the arduous turtle that so many families go through do to the high volume of liquid crystal Display stereo's.



Next we get to the personal social aspect of having a Turtle Beach Headset. Everyone has head this, yet no one wants to hear it be said to them. Thats it: "your a noob." Without a turtle beach headset there is little doubt that this insult may be used on a player relying on the unreliable stereo speakers. While it was the players task to guard the entrance by the port-o-potty, they didn't hear the mega-zombie flank the left side, thus causing embarrassment when half the team is taken out. With a turtle beach headset the player will be instead commenting on how he heard the seismic vibrations of said zombie from 3.0 miles away. This will improve team moral and more importantly the personal dignity of the otherwise "noob."



Last, but not least lets go over the importance to having a turtle beach headset for your teammates sake through some hypothetical dialogue. For the sake of explanation player 1 will be the only one will the headset, and all players will represent the "un-education" oft seen in the online video gaming community.

Player 1. Hey, yall I just got me some turtle beaches !

Player 2. Tertle beeches ? Whut are those ?

Player 3. I niver hurd of them Thingamajigers ?

Player 1. Their sum sir rround Headsets for slayin Zombys !

Player 2. Rock on ! It sounrround your head so yur brains don't git sucked out !

Player 3. Mom ! I want to go to turtle beach Pleaaaaassseeeee !

In this situation we see how the first player is elevated above his teammates by having something they don't. This evocates respect, adoration, and the need to rise up with player 1. Overall the presence of such a headset slightly raises an otherwise mediocre IQ, the need to rely on a parent ( which reinforces the parent child relationship ), and fosters leadership skills.



In a nutshell, having the turtle beach headset for the swift removal of walking corpses gives auditory healing to ailing families, provides a morale boost to the person wearing them, and develops reliance upon a leader due to superior sound technology. On these grounds in would be in the best interest's of Joystiq Magazine to provide this author with a set for the sake of his sisters (ears), self dignity, and indigenous teammates.

I need them to drown out the sound of the undeads shuffling and moaning, it can become quite depressing, especially when you need to stay quiet to avoid the sea of dead looking for something to eat...

My wife wont let me buy stuff because were poor college students -- and I need the headphones because I can't crank the subwoof thanks to *those* people upstairs.

Also, if I don't get these, who will kill the zombies? I'm willing to do the work to save the world, just give the tools!
