Mac compatible headset that supports 5.1 or .1
Howdy fellow gamers,
Are there any wired or wireless gaming headsets out with either 5.1 or 7.1 that work on OS X? I am currently using an old Plantronics USB headset and would like something that is better supported under OS X. At least something that has basic equalizer support. Thanks. |

Even if games did support 5.1 its would be difficult to get surround sound to work in OSX.
You would need a Mac compatible sound card that could output the 5 discrete RCA type channels or a Mac compatible sound card that could output DD encoded signal via optical. There is a program called Jack that can use the CPU to encode via optical but I never got it to work for my games. Then again this is about separate speakers rather than headsets which I am unfamiliar with except from a stereo point of view. |

Try PS3 wireless headset. It's 5.1 and don't need any driver. The USB dongle does all the work for you. I have one and works perfectly on games.

You're best off using a USB-style headset where all the sound processing is done on the device. I'm sure there's one compatible with a Mac. Otherwise a USB DAC of some kind might do the trick.

IF you get all the right hardware most of our games (feral Interactive) will respect 5.1 surround sound. It is not heavily tested but when the game has 3D sound we hook up the libraries for the few people who have the hardware.
I think insidemacgames has a big forum post on what games work and what don't. Edwin |

Former Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) Gloster Meteor c/n 6466 F.Mk.8 with its current registration 3W-32 on display at the Aviodrome museum at Lelystad airport in The Netherlands (EHLE) on 29 July 2012. The aircraft entered service with the RNLAF 322 squadron on 10 March 1953 and was phased out in 1957. It was used as gatekeeper at former RNLAF base Soesterberg and was finally bought by former Dutch air force and KLM pilot Aart van Wijk, who had flown the aircraft himself. He donated the Meteor to the Aviodrome museum. Aart van Wijk studied law in his spare time during his career with KLM and received a doctorate in law with his thesis about air accident investigation in The Netherlands.

WBR traffic stop nets $1.4 million in synthetic marijuana
PORT ALLEN — An interstate highway drug enforcement unit confiscated $1.4 million in synthetic marijuana Thursday night after a traffic stop on Interstate 10 in West Baton Rouge Parish, authorities said Friday.
West Baton Rouge sheriff's deputies booked Kalid J. Jaber, 35, of Chalmette, with traffic violations and a count of possession of synthetic cannabis with intent to distribute in excess of 60 pounds, Iberville Parish Sheriff Brett Stassi said.
Iberville Parish sheriff's deputies working jointly with the West Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office pulled Jaber over at 8:40 p.m. 2 miles west of the I-10/Lobdell exit.
Deputies said Jaber was speeding and driving carelessly on I-10 westbound.
After speaking with Jaber and looking in the window of the minivan, deputies found 325.5 pounds of synthetic marijuana inside.
"They just had it jam-packed, everything they could up in there," Stassi said.
Deputies said they had found Jaber's story about his journey inconsistent and sensed deception.
Stassi said investigators later learned Jaber had left the New Orleans area with synthetic marijuana earmarked for distribution between Iberville Parish and the Lafayette area.
He said the drugs were wrapped in a way to be attractive to young people.
Stassi noted that a change in state law that took effect Thursday now makes all known mixtures of synthetic marijuana illegal. He said deputies still must test the makeup of newly confiscated drugs.
Eighteenth Judicial District Judge Alvin Batiste set $1 million in bail for Jaber, who remained in jail Friday.

"I should be the missing Baltimore Style Maker because...."
The American Craft Council Show in Baltimore (the largest juried indoor craft show in the nation), is introducing its new "Style Makers" campaign. The 2012 Style Makers group is made up of 10 handpicked crafters in Baltimore to tell a "rich, visual story that connects fine craft collectors to makers and their work." The ACC defines a Style Maker as a person with a connection to fine craft who possesses a strong sense of style and values and invests in beautiful handmade objects. If you are someone who exemplifies these qualities, now is your opportunity to be added to the list of the 2012 Style Makers, as the ACC is looking for a local individual to join its roster.
Submit a photo of yourself with your favorite craft object. Enter at facebook.com/CraftCouncil.
Beginning with, "I should be the missing Baltimore Style Maker because...." explain why you are the missing Baltimore Style Maker, in 25 words or less.
The deadline is February 8, 2012. The public voting will be held on Facebook from February 10-13.
The top three photos with the most "likes" will move on to the finalist round, where a panel of judges will select a winner on February 17, 2012.
The ACC Show will be held at Baltimore Convention Center, February 24-25, 2012.

The Big Market for Holy Relics
Filed under: Art
Interested in owning the skull of a martyr or the tooth of a saint? Apparently lots of people are, as the market for religious artifacts is booming. It takes a lot of faith to both be in the business of dealing holy relics and in that of buying them, as very few can be proven authentic beyond a shadow of a doubt. Although many newer pieces (i.e. objects touched by the Pope) are easily verified through photographs (when they're available) historical items from ages past are more about believing than anything else. And why else would you spend $975 on a wooden splinter from the True Cross that's so small you need a magnifying glass to see it, if you didn't simply believe?

Poured from a 500ml bottle into a Weizen glass. Reviewed live.
A- Poured a two finger white head with very little retention. Some soapy lacing. Slightly cloudy orange color. Little watery looking for a Hefeweizen.
S- Grass, banana, wheat, cloves, brown sugar, soapy. Light and more muted smell than I am used to for a Hefe.
T- Woofah, this kicks strong with wheat and sugar and peters out way too early. Unbalanced beer, hits your tongue like a brick.
M- Water. Very wet feel because it feels so watered down.
O- Not a fan. Too bad because I love the style.

Poured from a bottle into a standard pint glass.
Appearance: Pours a clear golden straw like color with just a little bit of white head that goes away completely.
Smell: There is a sweetness with some fruity/perfume like notes in there as well. None of the banana and spice you hope for.
Taste: This is a pretty boring beer. Some of the fruity notes from the smell, but quite watery. Nope.
Mouthfeel: Thin body with tingly carbonation and a dry finish.
Overall: Not a drain poor, but nothing good about it either.

Cloudy yellow color with two fingers of head that quickly settled to a thick cap. A little bit of lacing is left on the glass.
Aroma of fruity esters. Not banana, not bubblegum, but strawberry and lemon.
This is one weird hefeweizen. Practically no qualities you expect in the style and this is from a German brewer. Fruity yeast esters mainly with a touch of lemon tartness. Tastes more like a pale ale than a hefeweizen.
Body lacks the chewy mouthfeel of a good hefeweizen. Another disappointment in this beer.
It drank quickly because of the thin body and light flavor. Will not waste by time or money on this beer again.

Had a 1pt. 0.9oz bottle
Appearance: A foggy pale yellow. High visual carbonation, but no head.
Smell: Like a juice. A sweet fruity scent, almost floral. Definitely a plus.
Taste: Like one of the best pies you have ever tasted. Sweet fruity tastes stay fresh on your lips.
Mouthfeel: Soda.
Overall: At first I was disappointed, visuals are unimpressive. But, after one smell i knew that this beer is rich in flavor. Flavor is sweet. I'm not a fan of sweet beers, but this beer I felt was beyond sweet beers. It feels more crafted like a wine. It feels like a sour wine mixed with malt to mask. Got me feeling good. Bring this shit to social gatherings, you'll be rolling Deutsch-Gangsta style but looking classy as royalty.

yeah, the head was a waste, just disappeared.
Looks like a pale hef, kinda sickly cloudy.
The smell is like the looks: thin, jammy like a fruity, heavy red wine, very un hef like.
Theres a taste I can't quite get my finger on...

Poured into a Franziskaner weisse beer glass. Not looking good.
Pours a chill hazy golden with a tiny spritzy head that disappears quicker than a homie on father's day.
Aroma of unfermented wort, grainy, no banana, no glove.
Flavor is of unfermented wort, sweet, grainy. I'm not event sure this is fermented. No pleasant.
Mouthfeel is medium spritzy.
Not drinkable at all. this one is a drain pour. How the hell can any brewer put this on the market? Do not bother trying.

I found this .5 L brown bottle at the Binny's store in Plainfield, IL for just 99¢. No freshness date, but a good price for a half liter bottle.
The beer poured a cloudy straw yellow color with a minuscule white head, no retention, and no lacing. Not a good start.
The smell was interesting. Lemon, sour apples, and banana hit first followed by a whiff of wheat, some hay, and even some spices (mostly clove).
This is one of the worst tasting hefeweizens I have ever tasted. It's totally bland - not enough of anything. Very weak wheat malt base with a little (and I do mean little) citrus flavor, something sour, and that's about it.
Thin and watery mouthfeel with lots of carbonation.
I could barely finish this bottle much less have another. Avoid!

Bottle from Gourmet Haus Staudt. Copper hued, turbid as per the style, with a small head that settles to a film. The aroma exhibits scents of apple and spice, citrus, banana, and, oddly, a bit of popcorn. Lightly sweet with a banana bread malt character. Taste is good if somewhat unexceptional for the style: citrusy with moderate banana sweetness, light spiciness, plenty of bready malt and a brief, semi-sweet finish. The body is a tad thin for the style, though not bad. A very enjoyable hefe, just not exceptional for the style.

Pours with a straw golden color with no head or lace. Has moderate carbonation.
Smells more like cider than beer.
The taste of yeast and malt. Nothing much going on with the tatse. Overall, the taste is thin and boring.
Again, the mouthfeel is insipid. As for drinkability, I'm glad I bought one bottle.

The aroma has some bananas (but not much), sour malt, coriander, yeast, and lemon. The appearance is hazy tan/gold with a two finger head. The flavor is rather average for the style. It has all the elements from the aroma but they are weak and the sour dominates. The beer turns herbal (with a hint of incense) in the finish. The palate is thin even for a wheat beer. Overall I was expecting more but it's certainly drinkable.

Served in a Hacker-Pshorr Weisse glass at Resi's Bierstube.
Dull gold, yellow orange in the light, muddied up with the yeast. Weak, flaccid head, never got more than 1/4" of foam. Sweet aroma, faint orange, lemon, dusty wheat, and a cidery characteristic.
Flavor was more citrusy, no clove, smooth wheaty body, lower carbonation with a bite on each quaff. A little bit dull, not much in the way of esters or clove. Needed a bit more finesse in the feel, not enough carbonation, and not smooth enough. One and done.

$2.69 for a 500 ml bottle at LaBodega in Riverside, CA; May 2008.
Pours a medium yellow-gold at the bottom of my Schneiderweisse hefe glass, trainsitioning to a darker muddy golden-brown at the upper end before being topped by a decent sized white head. The big bubbles quickly disappear, leaving a decent coating of tiny bubbles covering the beer. My sample has steady, solid, but not extreme, carbonation.
Aroma is as my wife says "it's a beer", but it's more than that. Clove and banana and bubblegum are all there as expected for the style, but generally light and faint, rather than strong and solid.
Flavor is yeasty pizza crust (with flour dust generously added), and a sharper ending that I wouldn't really call hoppy, but it gives it some balance. Lemony notes are there, but quite subdued.
Moderate bodied, and a relatively easy drinker on a warm summer afternoon, this one is decent, and I don't mind drinking it, but there are others I enjoy more.

Pours a slightly hazed (clears nicely) & effervescent honey/golden with 2 fingers of eggshell colored head that holds a tight collar on the top my hefe glass. A bit of lacing & minimal head retention
S: Bubblegum, cloves & white pepper
T: Cloves, grainyness, juicyfruit & grassy up front. Crackery notes along with lemony hops as this warms. Finishes with cloves, a touch of dryness, apples, lemony hops & some tartness

Yellow greenish color, hazy. White and creamy head. A lot of bubbles.
Banana, at the smell, even if the smell is quite light. Camomile flowers, yeast, breadcrust.
The taste is quite sweet, but not unpleasant, even if after a while it becomes a bit boring. No big defects in this beer, a standard weizen, quite drinkable.
Standard body, sweetish aftertaste.
