This is relevant to my interests.

The last few weeks have been killing me not being able to talk about it. I found a couple of bits of your cargo dotted around during the embargo period!

I've been wanting to talk about it for weeks but couldn't because of the embargo. It's such a well done sequel. Kojima's restraint made the last 2/3 hours all the more spectacular when he finally let loose and delivered his trademark weirdness.

Oh hell yeah!

A Behringer UMC22 and XM8500 combo would give you very decent audio for around £50/$65~. Small enough to be portable. Something like the Tascam DR-07X for a completely self contained, handheld option at a similar price. Doesn't take much audio production knowledge to get great results, too.

Most cheap microphones these days are pretty decent. Depending on what you're after, you can achieve quite a bit with not a lot. Are you wanting to do it at a pc or on the go?

Speedrun community is going to be all over those Guitar Hero controller runs.
