Q: One of the more annoying aspects of playing online is having to hear inactive microphones picking up background noise. Doing the same with your microphone is a good way to get your account muted in-game as well as reported for harassment if the behavior continues in subsequent matches. Even though a fair amount of players will insult or belittle you while you play online, ignoring them is a much better course of action than responding. You can typically press the "Back" button in the middle-left side of your controller to bring up a list of in-game players, at which point you can select players' names and press A to mute them. Though some rules--such as refraining from harming team mates--are universal, most games have online-specific etiquette that you'll have to learn as you play. One way to get a jump-start on this information is by browsing the game's community forums or by observing other players' gameplay. For example: while not explicitly stated in the game, healing yourself during a player-versus-player fight in Dark Souls is widely regarded as a dishonorable thing to do. Online gaming can be an inherently lonely process, but if you're a part of a team, you should take actions that benefit the team as a whole, not just yourself. If you're not prepared to "play the objective", consider playing a game type that doesn't emphasize teamwork. An example of this concept might be leaving powerful equipment, weapons, or vehicles for another team mate if you know you aren't well-equipped to handle them. If you're playing a game without a team dynamic, ignore this step. If your character is simply standing around in an ongoing multiplayer game while you're doing something else, you become a liability for your team. If you aren't completely committed to the notion of playing a round in your game, consider waiting to jump into a match until you're ready. Quitting early both lets your team down and marks your account as a poor sportsmanship profile, meaning that if you do it often enough, you won't get invited to matches. Complaining that a game was unfair or that the results of a match aren't right doesn't change anything, and it can hurt the experience for other players. There will be times where the outcome actually isn't fair, of course, but try to remember that the same goes for instances in which you were on a team that unfairly won. People on Xbox LIVE also tend to dislike complaints about poor Internet connections (e.g., "lag"). More than anything else, your best course of action while playing online is to respect the people with whom you're playing.
A: Don't plug in your microphone if you're not using it. Refrain from trash-talking other players. Learn the game's online community guidelines. Play with your team's well-being in mind. Attend the game you're playing. Finish your match. Accept game outcomes. Be kind.

Q: Black is a strong neutral that can hold its ground against a red dress without stealing the show. Wear a thin black belt around your waist to break up the monotony of a solid red smock dress. Finish the look with black tights and black knee-high boots. Black can look strong and classy, but the right black accessories can really turn up the heat. Wrap a black lace shawl around your shoulders for an evening look. Carry a matching black clutch with lacy accents. Complete the look with your highest pair of black stilettos or heeled boots. Pairing red with white works really well for casual and retro looks. Give your red summer sundress a retro vibe by wearing white bangle bracelets and white sandals. White sneakers can look great with the right casual red dress, too. For a 50s pinup vibe, try wearing your red dress with strappy or open-toed white heels. Tone down a red dress at the office by wearing it with a soft white cardigan. Patterns create added visual interest, but a simple black and white pattern keeps it subtle. Try a black and white polka dot handbag for timeless appeal, or get a little edgy with a large zebra print shoulder bag. Flats with black and white stripes can look great, too. A simple pearl necklace, matched with small pearl earrings, can create a classy, elegant look, especially when paired with a white or cream shoe. Add a pearl cocktail ring for even more glam. To create a 20s look, drape a long string of pearls over the front of the dress, or double the string up for a flapper vibe. A simple necklace or tennis bracelet adorned with black stones is a good way to add a small trace of black to your outfit. Black diamonds are also popular now, although they are on the pricier side. For a unique yet sophisticated look, wear black pearls.
A:
Break things up with a black belt and shoes. Use black to add a little sexiness to your outfit. Lighten things up with white accessories. Try a black and white pattern. Pull out your vintage pearls to add simple sophistication. Choose jewelry with black gemstones like onyx, or even black pearls.
