Dug out my old headset from storage today. Still only works on one side, but I got the problem isolated and will fix it soon.
But this means I have a headset, which means a mic, which means TS is around the corner. So hopefully in the next day or two i will be online with TS as well. Plus this way the game sounds will not disturb the 1 year old in my room late at night. Which means I will not have my wife threatening to kill me
