7 hours into XenoGears, not really feeling it.

alvarado52 08-12-2010 07:50 PM

i just bought a new TV through Amazon. Sounds amazing.

RoXer 08-12-2010 08:04 PM

Which one?

alvarado52 08-12-2010 08:12 PM

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ef=oss_product

$900 bucks. Not bad.

OssMan 08-12-2010 08:57 PM

I got a TV from best buy for pretty cheap the other day. Some house brand "Insignia" "32 inch LED HDTV," sound like such a fucking asshole saying this. I put it next to another TV so that I can have something to do while watching baseball cause it is impossible for me to watch baseball anymore.

Insignia is actually a pretty awesome brand. I used to have the same style of one that you described, and it had a lot nicer of a picture than the other TV's there. I was extremely satisfied with it for the price.

Please tell me you didn't buy it JUST for this reason...

Since we're talking about TVs, which is a much better use of this thread, I recently bought:

I'm still using a cheap Emerson. By the time it dies, sexy TVs will be in my price range. Hell, a comparable name brand LCD is now cheaper than I paid for this one. Still, I only bought it because my old CRT utterly DIED and I didn't want to spend a thousand bucks at the time.

Xero 08-13-2010 11:22 AM

I'm still sitting on a flat screen CRT.

:(

alvarado52 08-13-2010 04:25 PM

LCDs are cheap now, and will be even cheaper now that the new craze is LED

It'll need repairing in 3 years. I assure you.

Funky Fly 08-13-2010 09:02 PM

TVs are still kinda expensive in Canada. The trade off is that the ricockulous 80inch TVs that need to be specially ordered in the US are widely available here.

Yeah, but you still have to fight the moose to stop grazing on your ethernet cables.

I would also like to know this. Samsung make the best TVs, so this seems unlikely.

#BROKEN Hasney 08-14-2010 12:40 AM

Dodgy capicitors. They swell and then the TV won't turn on.

http://www.google.co.uk/m/search?oe=...+tv+capacitors

I've been reading when I was looking at a new TV and they apparently never fixed it. Loved my Samsung until it had to get repaired in Jan for this issue, now I probably won't get one of their TVs again.

#BROKEN Hasney 08-14-2010 12:42 AM

Oh, and Samsung repair fucking put new versions of the same shitty capacitors in when they repair it. Just soldered them in myself so I could get some good ones.

alvarado52 08-14-2010 12:54 AM

yeah i read about the capacitor issues, but alot of what i saw was from a year ago. I'd imagine they have cleaned the issue up abit.

#BROKEN Hasney 08-14-2010 01:02 AM

Don't think so. From what I'm reading they fixed the issue in June this year after a class action was launched in Jan. Most of the supply that's still out there is dodgy :'(

alvarado52 08-14-2010 01:08 AM

well ill be sure to check the manufacture date of mine when it comes in. Either way, i got the extended warranty, so if it shits out ill just go with that, or do what you did and just throw in my own.

Kalyx triaD 08-14-2010 01:41 AM

Monday Night Combat. Surprise of the Summer.

#BROKEN Hasney 08-14-2010 01:42 AM

Surprise? Game has looked fucking awesome all the way through development.

#BROKEN Hasney 08-14-2010 01:46 AM

Also Kalyx, Sega have told you to stop being excited for Sonic Colors.

Quote:

Wow Sega, way to absolutely kill the good grace your game has earned! Sonic Colors' lead designer, Takashi Iizuka, has said that anybody who liked Sonic back in the Genesis days should stop looking forward to the upcoming Wii game, reiterating the previous message that Colors is for children in no uncertain terms.

"We know there are sometimes opinions about control from core gamers, but we're intending Sonic Colors to be played by children of probably between six and twelve years-old," he explains. "So, with Sonic Colors we have aimed to make a game that everyone can control and have fun in. So, it's not really a game for the core gamers. If you take the rail grind, it's something that's fast, not difficult but is fun to do and looks great. It's about making a game that's right for the core audience of the game."

Weird that he says that "everyone" can have fun with Sonic Colors ... except for Sonic's oldest fans. Apparently the "hardcore" gamer is incapable of enjoying Sonic Colors, which is an amazing PR claim considering the fact that so far, many hardcore gamers are more excited for Colors than they are for Sonic 4.*

I really liked what I played of Sonic Colors, but according to Sega, I should just stop looking forward to it. Fair enough, guys! I'll henceforth write the game off as a load of crap, since apparently that's what you want. Seriously, what a dreadful way to go about promoting your game.

only to people with shitty taste in video games, Kalyx....everyone else knew this was gonna be solid

Funky Fly 08-14-2010 02:39 AM

Ok, quick show of hands. Who has Monday Night Combat?

I do.

alvarado52 08-14-2010 05:39 AM

I plan on getting it. The demo was great with a buddy, i can see the possibility of this being some serious co-opness.

Kane Knight 08-14-2010 07:59 AM

Yo.

Kalyx triaD 08-14-2010 01:04 PM

Yeah pretty much done here.

Boomer 08-14-2010 01:15 PM

I'll probably get it, considering how much I've played TF2 and DotA. I'm worried I won't play it, like I never play Fat Princess.

Funky Fly 08-14-2010 02:53 PM

That's because Fat Princess is shit.

You just have been on a bad streak of backing the wrong pony is all.

Kane Knight 08-14-2010 06:23 PM

Don't Forget His Other Tendencies, Hasney.

Kane Knight 08-14-2010 06:24 PM

Should have put something in red, too.

Funky Fly 08-15-2010 03:54 AM

Gonna punch someone if I don't see something videogame related in here soon.

#BROKEN Hasney 08-15-2010 04:00 AM

MindJack is looking pretty awesome (don't punch me bro).
