[WTA] PC Headset recommendations?

Kasumi — Sun, 26 May 2013 23:20:08 +0800

Hey guys, my current headset has gotten intolerable (sound only coming from right side now) and I need a new pair. I'll be going to KLCC on Wednesday so I'm going to buy one then. The things is, I know nuts about which ones are good for the price you pay.

So keeping in mind that:
- my budget is RM400
- I want it to have an attached mic
- I don't want a wireless headset
- I'll be playing games with it (Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Bioshock Infinite etc)
- I play lots of music
- I Skype/Team Speak A LOT

What would you recommend?

"MMPO"?

Kasumi — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 18:03:20 +0800

This question didn't really fit anywhere so I'm posting it here. I'm expecting a package from Russia and have been keeping track of it's progress. The latest update shows that it is now in Malaysia and has "Exit from MMPO". Does anyone know what this means?

[WTA] Foreign Telegraphic Transfer (TT)

Kasumi — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:31:23 +0800

Hello! I hope someone can help me because I'm at my wit's end. I want to send USD50 to Moscow, Russia. Personal transaction with an artist I commissioned. I tried using Maybank but they said the amount was too small for them to send so I tried CIMB, although I don't have an account there. They accept, but it has to be by cash (obviously). I went there today with all the relevant details but the lady said that since the beneficiary provided details of a correspondent bank (America) in addition to her own bank (Russia), I have to print out the message the artist sent me of her bank details as a "supporting document". It's my first time doing a TT and I find this a bit weird. Is it normal?

Since the TT couldn't be done, the lady let me take the form back home and it's with me now. The next time I'm able to go is Tuesday. I hope I don't fill in the details incorrectly.

I'm also afraid something may go wrong and I won't have any backing since I don't have a CIMB account.

Also, does anyone know how long a TT takes?

Need to do a Foreign Telegraphic Transfer

Kasumi — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 21:23:31 +0800

Can someone tell me how to do it? Do I have to fill in a form or is it done by ATM? I use Maybank. Help, please?

Where to buy PC games?

Kasumi — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 16:52:05 +0800

Before anybody shoots my head off and tells me to get off my ass and use Google, I'm just asking for your shop recommendations. Where do you buy your PC games? Preferably somewhere in KL accessible by public transport like Times Square, Low Yat or KLCC. Or even PJ.

Antivirus Prices?

Kasumi — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 18:14:54 +0800

My McAfee Anitvirus Plus that came with my laptop will be expiring next month. I was wondering if the price for the renewal for one-year subscription was reasonable (RM 128). If I do take this route, then does it mean that my service still continues or do I need to download and reinstall it or something?

Or are they overcharging me and I should find another brand?

Thanks!

Wacom Tablet

Kasumi — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 00:11:08 +0800

Hi! So I'm this aspiring (wannabe) comic-artist and I'd really like to try using a tablet to draw instead of the usual pen and paper. So, that means I have a choice between the Wacom Bamboo Fun and the Wacom Bamboo Pen. Keeping in mind that:-

- I'm a n00b (never touched a tablet in my life so far)
- I'm not willing to spend too much money
- I'll probably only be using it for digital drawing, colouring and digital art in general

... What would you recommend?

Feathers?

Kasumi — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 00:15:55 +0800

I plan to make a couple of dream-catchers, but am having trouble finding feathers. I found some at Craft Haven in 1U, but the feathers weren't really nice. Can anyone recommend a craft shop that sells feathers? Preferably in Brickfields (KL) or a place accessible by public transport. Thank you!

About the PSP 3000...

Kasumi — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 20:20:07 +0800

How should I start... I'm completely new to gaming and anything that has to do with it (the only games I've played were Runescape and Maple, I don't own any gaming consoles). Recently, I loaned a friend's PSP and played FF VII on it and became addicted. I am considering buying a PSP 3000 but being a complete n00b, have no idea where to get it and how much the current market price is. Can someone tell me? And I was told I could modify PSPs at Lowyat or Digital Mall. True ah?
