I've been using one on a secondary PC and PS3 for a while. The default settings are pretty bad (color temperature is too cool, backlight is too bright, and sharpness is too high). After adjustments: warm color temp, backlight down to 1 or 2, and sharpness all the way down, along with...

Yeah, they make this seem unnecessarily complicated, but the upshot is: 1.) Make sure that you sign up for a Nintendo Network ID (not the same thing as club nintendo) 2.) Buy something from the eshop on the wii u 3.) Sign in on the DDP site (note: it won't let you sign in prior to buying...

This was a pretty good deal. The controllers that I received were in like-new condition complete with sleeve.

I was looking for this too... Looks like the EU region has a "Horror Sale." http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2013/10/16/horror-sale-starts-this-week-save-on-siren-blood-curse-dead-rising-2-more/ No Halloween or Horror sale in the USA region that I could find... just a Capcom sale (RE: ORC and...

Despite all the bad review, I had a blast with the game playing on coop... easily worth $8.

I'm a fan of hybrid drives for applications like this. But the momentus xt isn't being made anymore. Seagate has their new more blandly named SSHD line that spins only at 5400 rpm, but seems to perform similarly: http://www.storagereview.com/seagate_sshd_thin_review_gen3_500gb_st500lm000 I'm...

Nothing exciting happened to me at age 15... :D In either case, I doubt that the kids will be scarred for life or anything like that. I really don't think these cases should be treated the same way as other sex offenders/predators... now, don't get me wrong, a 35 y/o mom who's having sex with...

Your TV may be doing a non-linear zoom/stretch mode; basically, it's when the middle part of the image isn't stretched much and the outer parts get most of the stretching effect.

Yeah, that's a conundrum... If you talk to god, you are praying and are labelled religious. If god talks to you or you claim to be god, you are labelled a schizophrenic. Thomas Szasz has some nice writings about this, and the arbitrary nature of defining mental "disease." BTW, even though I'm...

Regardless of this particular fee, this whole thing is either going to cost quite a bit or (hopefully) there will come about some logical way in which we use our limited resources to intelligently provide healthcare (unlikely, since most people will cry about rationing and death panels). *...

You mainly just need a relatively powerful processor (most important part) and a reasonable graphics card. Works just fine on my HTPC running an Ivy Bridge Core i5-3570 with a Radeon 7770. PC games usually depend more on a powerful graphics card. Emulators usually depend more on a powerful...

To nitpick, your aspect ratio is wrong. Super Mario Sunshine is a 4:3 ratio game. Your HDTV is stretching it. I got the GC component cable back in the day several years ago by getting lucky and finding one in a gamestop... circa 2008. Now, to get the best possible graphics, I would just...

1920x1080 is its native resolution, which it runs without issue. IMHO, it works fine as a PC monitor and I have it hooked up to one of my PCs. Side by Side 3D works well on supported video files and in some games (Trine 2). Quality sucks outside of windows... the bios and loading screens are...

Read the article; I'm not very impressed. Does the quote above represent the new American Dream? Is it truly freedom to be able to say fuck you to your boss but then hold out your hand to receive welfare from your other, more powerful boss, the US government? Is that the message that we want...

I'm not very concerned about his mental health issues. Often, there is a stigma placed on this by people who have little understanding of the conditions. However, anxiety and depression do not occur in a vacuum. Similarly, they do not occur because some neurotransmitter randomly decides to...
