I play games at night when I'm not working, and I don't won't to wake up the lady while she sleeps. So I tend not to use a mic now.

I usually only use my mics when I'm playing with my friends. Otherwise theres just to many a$$holes online that are better than you and will let you know they are. I just don't feel like I need to answer to them when I'm just trying to have fun playing the game. At least on a team deathmatch mode.

For a more team oriented mode, I'll leave the mic on. Like Plunder in UC3.

Yeah, Exactly who wants to hear all this? Nobody. Thank goodness I can just turn voice volume off automatically from my amp instead of having to mute everyone individually.

I usually only use a mic with close friends because I don't want to use my mic to find out the person on the other end is a whiny twelve year old, a guy that insults me for being better than him, a weaboo that swears every other word, or nobody and I just end up talking to myself.

To be completely honest, it destroys the imersive nature of the game for me... I dont really play games for sport though, so I can see where people differ from my views, but all that nonsense listed above just stresses me out and hell, Ive got enough in life to stress me out...

I usually play games on ventrillo with the same guys I've been gaming with for the last 5 years. If I need to I'll use the VOIP though. TF2 has a pretty good community when it comes to using mics though. Sure there's lots of people who mic spam such classics as "What makes me a good demoman" and Nyan Cat but there's quite a large amount who use it to inform the team about whats going on.

The only reason to ever use a mic is during some sort of co-op, team type mode.

During some VS. mode, most people tend to show how immature and mentally incompetent they are. Listening to babies on the mic..... no point....
