    On occasion, later in the evening when all but a handful have logged off, we will sit and have a little open mic night. Frag will be drunk just enjoying himself while I play guitar and sometimes sing (not very well). I know Cox, and a few others like to sit in and listen and sometimes participate. I was wondering if there are any others who would like to join in on open mic night, maybe make a vent channel for it and have it certain times of the evening when no one feels like pwning in game. If not, you can always find me in a random CoD4 channel with "open mic" in my comment. I also take requests, and if I don't know it, I will appoint myself to learning it for next time.

    Feedback please.

    I'll play guitar with you Umgala, what night?

    Just gotta tell me what you're playing and we'll figure it out from there hah. I dunno how to get my guitar to go through Vent though, I was thinking of hooking it up into GarageBand and then somehow getting that to go into Vent. But I'm already confused in that light

    Haha this song is played on a piano, and I sing it more for effect than for any sort of skill/desire to hear the song

    You'd be surprised how easy it is to transpose piano onto guitar. It's all in the way you do it. ;)

    We're working on it, we fired our last singer, so, as you can see, we're working on finding new ones.

    I'm almost done with a new song that we've been writing that's built a little bit more around a Red Hot Chili Peppers meets Audioslave sound, I just have writers block right now, and there's no lyrics.

    I just keep my headset on and let turn off push to talk. I guess I get pretty good sound coming through because no one ever told me to shut up lol

    It's random, whenever. If you hop in vent, and i'm on not doing anything, it's jam time.

    I have Realtek HD Audio Manager and on the mixer I can turn up the volume for record volume for different inputs and that transmits everything that I can hear over vent. If you have anything like that you could do it that way.
