There are many different mics out there but what I think sounds the best is the Blue Yeti for simple recording, such as recording games.

The blue yeti is a good one for the price, but their are better microphones out their if you don't have a budget.
 
Do not fall in love with the big brand names, that is the #1 mistake. If I were you I'd buy an ATR-2500 microphone (my current microphone). It is a great microphone and has a great stand, with no BG noise. In addition to that, it has real-time noise monitoring!
 
AT2020+ is pretty decent! I haven't had any experience with others just yet but I like the AT2020+ for now :)

You using XLR or USB? I heard XLR mics are far superior. Also I think the 2500 is better right? I heard that the 2035 is a beaut, a lot of "Big" tubers use that one :)[DOUBLEPOST=1413099193,1413099164][/DOUBLEPOST]Also also... Should I propose soon then?
 
I do a lot of voice over for both amateur and professional productions. And you know what I use? A rockband mic. They are surprisingly good! Use audacity remove the noise, up the equalization and compression and you have some damn good voice over right there :D

There is an argument made by some that the audio quality is superior for XLR. It is a technically true statement but you will be hard-pressed to find anyone with ears sensitive enough to hear it.

XLR is superior in more practical ways though. A solid majority of audio gear uses it, so putting a nice tube preamp in line with your mic is possible, or a good compressor. With USB mics, basically everything needs to be done in post. (I know you can do effect chains inside most audio recording packages, but lets not pretend those effects are superior to dedicated kit).

And the most practical reason of all? Tell me where you can find a 100 foot USB cable. With XLR, it's easy. So you can put your mic wherever you want to put it.
