Consultant: I'm a consultant for a living - I was feeling unoriginal.

BzA (AKA "The BzA" or "Biz"): My second year of college I worked at a video store. Talk about an interesting mix of people working there.

Jason: Total goth dude, died his hair all sorts of funny colors, wore contacts that made him look like a cat or a goat...very kind and gentle to talk to but listened to some of the whackest music ever...like, some WEIRD shit.

Jeremy: Cuban jock, played baseball, my roomate and all around crazy dude.

Tremonte: (aka "Tre"): The token black guy, Tre was the shit, we called him "Token" before south park ever had the idea, he was a true pimp and looked a lot like Jay-Z.

There were more, but Tre, Jeremy Jason and I were bros. We used to close down Blockbuster at midnight then go to Jason's house for all-night Golden Eye and Mario Party/Mario Cart/Dead or Alive tournaments....

One night Tre was kickin our asses and he started talkin about how we were too white to beat him...after a few more rounds of ass-stomping he started saying that we needed more street cred if we ever hoped to compete so he insisted on giving us street-names.

My first name is Brian and so Tre, being a Wu-Tang Clan fan (The GZA, the RZA and the Ghost Faced Killa, etc)...dubbed me "The BZA"

I've been BZA, Bizzah, The BzA, etc ever since.

Here's a great story...

when my daughter was born I was still heavy into World of Warcraft (where my name was Bizzah)...My little girl called me "Bizzah" before she called me "daddy"...one night I was holding her and she started making b sounds... bis-bis-bis...

I promoted her one time "Bizzah" and she repeated it... it was so cool, my wife was NOT amused. LMAO

Good times, great memories. Wow, that was almost 2 years ago... insane.

I used to play alot of deathmatches and my friends used to say that deathmatch is just all spraying and praying... so I thought it would be amusing to have a funny name...

I have a bluetooth headset. I want the game's sounds to come out through my speakers but for the in-game chat to use my headset. Is this possible?

I can easily make it so that my headset's mic is the primary mic, but I also want voice to come through the earpiece. I know this is how most 360 games are set up and I was wondering it it's possible in Source games.
