Trash Talk is a little gadget you can get for your 360. It's a small device that fits between your controller and headset jack and enables you to play sound samples at the press of a button over your headset.
Used in moderation it's really rather good fun.
The control setup consists of 4 coloured buttons and a main control button. The main control button switches between the 4 sound banks which can each contain up to 4 sound clips (one assigned to each coloured button). There is a set of four lights which light up to show you which sound bank you're on (1 light for sound bank 1 and so on).
The device also has an option to turn itself off if not in use so if you're playing with a wireless controller this'll cut down on battery drain.
You need a PC with a USB port to connect the Trash Talk to to transfer sound files over, I have only used WAVS so far but these transfer and play perfectly. The device is limited to a minutes worth of sound in total but I've found I can fill up all 16 buttons easily without running out of space.
Using a movie wavs website I transferred over a load of quotes and proceeded to see what the world of Xbox Live would make of them. I tested them out on some friends first who thought they were pretty funny. Having a random injection of Arnie saying "But if I'm not me, then who am I?" definitely brings a laugh to a friendly Call of duty 3 lobby.
Drunk gamers are fun to use this gadget on as they believe someone is actually talking to them and don't realise it's a recording. In moderation this certainly livens up a dull COD3 lobby and it's fun to have Brain, from Pinky and The Brain, say "I am in intense pain Pinky" when you get fragged to death and are waiting for a medic.
Also for those tiresome moments where someone wants to have a war of words with you over your playing style/some other pointless thing like your accent all because their mother took away their pacifier today this is where this gadget comes into it's own: think of it as your Trash Talk firewall saving you the hassle of having to deal with some of the dregs of Xbox live, just have Homer Simpson tell them they're an idiot! Or have Mr Burns dismiss them with a curt "Pish posh!" or Elaine from Seinfeld go "Blah Blah Blah".
In short: A fun little gadget and well worth the money if used responsibly, in moderation and with careful thought and imagination.
