You'll never beat stereo for headphones, surround simply isn't meant for headphones. Even those headphones designed to emulate surround sound simply do just that; emulate. Keep your surround copies for surround systems and a stereo copy for your headphones!

I can't listen to anything with lyrics when trying to do something that requires a decent amount of brain power. Generally I like to put on The Field's From Here We Go Sublime or Yesterday and Today so I don't get too distracted.

I love my MS-1i's, and I was running them straight out of my soundcard for a long time. For 100$ you honestly can't go wrong, especially with the HD414 pads. I found them a nice addition, definately worth the extra cost.

I played straight through Heavy Rain and I was blown away by the entire thing. Barring some occassionally awful voice acting and the clunky movement, it was a very stunning, if extremely guided, experience. One thing that bothered me is how awful the kissing was though, seriously. Worth the...

The original was far better than Future in my opinion. Seems unlikely to get picked up for third game any time soon, but I can imagine the original coming to XBLA, particularly since SAdventure seems to be coming. Still looks great on my Dreamcast through VGA though!

I have OK Computer, Amnesiac and In Rainbows on vinyl, and I wouldn't have it any other way. They're easily some of the best sounding albums I have.

The Japan Harvest Blackface is one of the greatest, but like anything, there's a lot of contention.

I chose the MS-1i's over the 60's simply because in the UK Grados retail for a fortune, making the Alessandro's cheaper and not only that but (apparently, according to what I had read) superior as well. The review was very interesting, especially as I haven't had a chance to try out either the...

I disagree, but this can (and has been) argued to death. The first time I watched Eva, I fell in love with it. I find all the characters fascinating, each so wonderfully broken in their way. Sitting here with Rei/Asuka revoltech's on my desk and a bunch of overpriced dvds, I can't imagine why...

I only just picked up a PS3 recently, so I've been playing catch up, and recently got Siren: Blood Curse. I haven't actually finished it, but I'm past half way through and not entirely sure how I feel about it. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact I'm playing it as a full game, not as the...
