Why is Henry Rollins wearing N7 armor?

I'd definitely like an Orange one. :)

Not nearly enough silhouetted and/or otherwise obscured naked ladies to be a genuine Bond intro.

"WAY too much Batman: AA"

Ain't no such thing.

Bah, they left out the best version! While the samples in VK2K2 from Harmony of Dissonance are kinda low quality, the arrangement is easily the best of any VK version, IMO.

Dave Halverson loves two things in gaming without question: mascot platformers, and digital tits.

This game has tits. Thus, Dave loves it.

34: "but that isn't the case, latency is a big deal with displays and cheap cables cause lag."

No, they don't. Metallic conductor cables transmit signals at about 60% to 90% of the speed of light. For any home theater interconnect, that's fast enough as to be instantaneous (60% of c on a 6m cable means you have a transmission lag of 0.00000002s.

You might be thinking of a degraded signal leading to some sort of packet loss and introducing lag waiting for the transmission to catch up or rebuild from parity data, but DVI (and thus HDMI) are not packetized, but strictly digital streams, and so signal degradation would lead to display corruption, not lag.

There certainly are sources of lag in some HD setups, but the interconnects are not one of them.

What the heck is VF4 doing in the console GOTY noms? That came out years ago.

I don't see why everyone thinks $60 games are so expensive. Game prices have remained essentially unchanged in real dollars since the days of the NES. We're about due for an inflationary adjustment, regardless of increasing production budgets.

What rock have you been living under? LCD prices have dropped like a rock. When I got my 20" widescreen monitor a couple years ago, $600 was a hell of a bargain. Now you can get them for (less than) half that. Simlarly, LCD TVs have come way down in price over the last couple years.

And despite what you might think, TFT LCD panels don't cost next-to-nothing to manufacture, unlike calculator displays, which require nothing in terms of color quality, response time, contrast, or brightness levels.
