This headset really immerses you in the action of an exciting game. Like the Sims.

Trust me, you haven’t listened to Sims argue until you’ve heard it through a Razer Megalodon. I mean, just hearing their language piped through 7.1 channel virtual surround sound, you really start to pick up on its subtle nuances, its definitive cadence. Soon you realize that the Sims are more than just pixels who preform day-to-day activities; they’re a full-blown bona-fide culture, a culture that not only needs our help – like when they’re feeling depressed, or they need to exercise, or they’re tired and need to go to bed – but our respect too.

Honestly, playing The Sims now with the Megalodon has been an entirely different experience than before. Before I was just playing for the fun of it; now, I’m playing for the love of the families that I’ve created. When they laugh with joy, I laugh with joy. When they cry out of frustration, I too cry out of frustration. When two Sims kiss each other, I close my eyes and imagine that one is me. And sometimes I get carried away, but most of the time I’m respectful.

Sometimes, I almost wish The Sims was microphone-enabled. I’d love to speak into the Megalodon’s noise filtering, amplified microphone, to tell them how close to them I feel, to tell them about how much they mean to me.

But alas, they’ll never know of my presence.
