XBOX live has given us console gamers the blessing (or curse) of voice chat in all of our online games. It seems as if we're preprogrammed to want this feature at this point; however, I don't know a single person who plays XBOX live with a headset. Let's face it, the majority of people online in most competitive games are total jerks, no surprise there. It makes me wonder why certain online games (on PS3, Wii, and DS) get put down for not having voice chat that few people seem to even want.

Voice chat makes sense for team games like Rainbow Six Vegas, or even to an extent Halo... but is it really necessary for Mario Kart DS? Maybe I'm in the minority here, but Voice chat doesn't seem necessary...

It seems my computer decided it doesn't want to read my capture card anymore, horray!  So unless I somehow magicly fix this problem, the "cowboys from hell" guitar video I promised is on indefinate hold.
