A good set of headphones is a treasure for those of us who want the best in gaming sound without disturbing the peace of those around us. On the other hand, a bad set of headphones can really detract from the gaming experience by not staying in place, hurting your ears over time, or simply by being uncomfortable. Having had a chance to test-drive the SteelSeries Siberia Neckband headphones and while they aren’t the nirvana of gaming headphones they still manage to be a cut above most.

Today I’m going to kick off the first of many reviews here at GamerFront with the Guardian 921 case from NZXT. These guys probably aren’t the first people you think of when it comes to PC cases, but they’re definitely worth a look. This Guardian 921 case isn’t one of their high-end models, but still has the looks and features that will make most gamers happy. Hit the jump for my full review.

If you’re a big World of Warcraft addict, then I might point you to this page. You’ll likely need to log into your account to access it, however, doing so will put your name into the pool for a Wrath of the Lich King beta key.

The beta selection is completely random, so there’s nothing that you can do to better your chances (unless you have more than one paying account). Also, if you happen to be one of the lucky bastards that gets their name pulled out, you are welcome to give it to a friend or relative.

Yes, this means you can also likely sell it for a small fortune on eBay. However, doing so may very well win you the award for World’s Biggest Douche.

Feigned and I help run a guild, so when we heard rumors about a guild bank coming to WoW we were stoked. Then the day came when it finally arrived and the guild all chipped in and paid an arm and a leg per each tab. Thus far we have had no issues and have loved the convenience that came with the new bank. However, there are those that are encountering major problems.

Apparently, at the moment the withdrawal limits are not reset when a character joins a new guild. If you’re an officer when you leave a guild, you still have the officer banking rights when you join a new one, even if you’re a lowly recruit. Therefore people are withdrawing things from the guild bank and then leaving the guild. Once they have done so they mail the loot off to another character or just switch servers.

Our guild (Knights of the Winnebago) has about 350 members and even with that amount, a loot like that would leave us hurting pretty badly. We decided to pull all of our gold out of the bank just as an extra precaution till the issue is solved. Right now the only other solution is for the guild master to manually reset a recruits bank rights immediately after they join up. Blizzard is currently working to resolve the issue.
