No need to worry, I just duct taped my broken joystick and it's fine. Michael Weston is right. Duct tape DO make you smarter, not guns.

I lol'ed hard. (silently, as it's 4:16am in the morning )

Yus, it's Cochlear implants. :rotfl: (I'd never touch plastic surgery I'm happy with what I got :rotfl Been deaf since birth, cochlear implanted at 4 (I'm 20 now ). So yah

Some of you probably remember I got Heroes of the Pacific game. But it doesn't seem as cool as IL2, lol. I've already got a Flight Joystick and Headsets, just need the game.

No problems with a girl in the squadron? I'm looking forward to getting the game

Ah yes, I can. Forgot about that.

EDIT: Odd, the UBI site can't find IL2. I used the game browser. And it's there but when I clicked on IL2: Sturmovik, it led me to a page that said it can't be found. Found out I can DL it off Steam as well.

I wouldn't recommend Steam, either buy it off a store, Ubi or Direct2Drive

Ubi: http://digitalstore.ubi.com/0/3021/p...-1946-Download

D2D: http://www.direct2drive.com/3021/pro...-1946-Download

I would highly recommend a boxed copy though.

I get that problem too but I usually try my best to listen. Had a nice short time chatting to Oberon when I first got my mike. How often do you use the mike? I find that if I just try chatting to people with it on a casual basis, I learn how it sounds then I can be chatting away after I get used to the voice.

Age 16? Were you born deaf or went deaf? I hope ya got the "Freedom" processor, it works brilliantly. I picked up low sounds like fizzing drinks in a cup that I couldn't pick up with my previous processor. Certainly an improvement for talking over phones/mikes too. However I'm having Dry Cell/Non-rechargable battery drain problems Cochlear centre said since I'm 100% deaf, the earlier implant won't be able to give me enough power. Might have to go thru operation again to upgrade *sarcastically* Oh joy. (a friend of mine had menigitis, so the skull thickening with her cochlear implant was problematic and she had to go thru again)

@ TF: ah thanks for the link, I was planning to get a boxed version. That way if this computer decides to hate me and not work, I can easily DL it onto another, lol

I was born as hearing, then I got sick as a newborn and became deaf. I'm used to wearing hearing aids and then I made a decision to get cochlear implant when I was in high school. It's not funny after the surgery because I heard the bells ringing inside my head after recovery.
