Thanks to XBox Live, Call of Duty and Starcraft II, “pwning nubs” has been catapulted from the realm of nerdom into national sport. Video games having sport status is certainly debatable, but the entertainment factor is not. Nothing satisfies quite like kicking back a few cold ones and popping off a few rounds into your arch-nemesis’s face – especially when you don’t have to worry about the serious ramifications of the real world. In short, video games are awesome – even if you’re only kicking out the harmonies in Rock Band. Astro Gaming’s A Star Headset is the answer to all of your mobile gaming problems, namely shitty headphones. The A Star headset has all your Angry Birds necessities (in-line control, microphone, call control, multiple earbuds) along with some new amenities like flat cables, a PC splitter and a case. The green pigs won’t know what hit them.
