Playing Silent, keeping my wifes head to the pillow

So last night has marked one week of house guests, they stay in my dedicated Socom room (my wife calls it the family room). Being part of a top Socom 3 Gaming Guild, I play most every night, for awhile, and at times for 6 hours or more (seriously).
So after a week away from my machines, my online crew, and the thousands of victims awaiting online I needed to set up for some muted gaming (mute TV).
Playing silently I gained more kills than deaths, but without the visceral nature of gunfire and grenades the excitement was just not there. Getting jumped or not realizing your team has gone down was frustrating, but I was reading the red flicks on the cross hairs much better by the end of it. My second game on deathtrap as seal earned me MVP but was not enough to keep me online for more.

The short story is without the rumble of gunfire, SOCOM 3 is just not as exciting as it is with sound. I think I need to get a set of headphones rigged up to play at night, LOUD.

Though on a side note I must say I love Macintosh computers, with the ease of sharing an internet connection, I was able to cruise to the bedroom and share my wireless connection to my well worn Playstation.
