My last free day

[infowars]

Hey there,  today is my last free day and I don't care what my wife says I'm signing up.  I was wondering though,  can you guys list all the abbreviations you can think of you use in text?  like wtg... for example.
Also whats the cheapest mic I can get that will do the job?  ANy other tricks of the trade or any bad habits you can warn me not to get into? 

Thanks,

Brandon

A good head mounted microphone is the Labtec LVA-7330. 
They are listed on eBay for usually less than $2. They work fine and are cheap enough to keep a few on hand.


Welcome to the game.
Say goodbye to your usual responsibilities, and make sure you have a comfortable computer chair.
