BenQ debuts a pair of 18.5-inch 16:9 LCDs, but not for you

Aug 8th 2008 1:14PM (Engadget)
Wow way to read Joe Templemen, I said 16:9 1080p(native). I'm aware that you can get 16:10 monitors that can do higher resolutions than 1920x1080 but that's not what I'm asking for is it?

"Please people, for the sanity of the rest of the readers, think before posting..." Really? troll...

Wait, so 16:9 and they can't display 1920x1080? Asia, Europe and Latin America can keep them. I can't wait for the day when I can have a 22-24" monitor that can do 1080p(native) so I can run cloned with my TV without upscale.

Rumor: Xbox 360 to get Crytek's Crysis in Nov

Jan 3rd 2008 1:58PM (Joystiq Xbox)
I think allot of you are failing to take note that the high system requirements don't relate exclusively to the aesthetics. The point of Crysis was the advanced physics. Just look at the Youtube videos with 3000 barrels or thousands of crates. I know the 360 couldn't run the DX10 features but I see no reason why they couldn't port this game and make it look decent with DX9 features on the 360. I'm a little disappointed that the released product doesn't match the Uber physics they showcased in some of the tech demo videos, but its progress.

LIVE is 5IVE MS point gift being sent out w/bonus

Yay! Finally got mine. Thanks for the update, otherwise I wouldn't have found out until post holidays.

'w00t' is Merriam-Webster's word of the year

I never saw/heard w00p. I recall woot! being used in Quake CTF (Clan JMS!) back in 97, and actively in Counter-Strike in late summer 99. It stood for "We Owned the Other Team" and would be posted at the end of a match. And let me make a recommendation. If your going to boast your online gaming resume, I would remove Quake 2 from it.
*goes back to lurking*

Fanswag Weekly: Lost Planet double dose

Dec 6th 2007 12:24AM (Joystiq Xbox)
I'll start with my least favorite activity, shoveling snow! Between the 4+ inches over the weekend with freezing rain and the 7+ last night, I'm not getting much gaming in.

Network strain, not the update caused Live to act up

Dec 6th 2007 12:21AM (Joystiq Xbox)
I heard they work on DVD and CD, I haven't tried it myself. I'm currently using Media Player 11's sharing to stream the videos. I was using TVersity before this and I love that I can now pause / resume without something failing to resume. Also fast forward / rewind is a huge plus. I didn't bother to even try Zune Media Players sharing as DivX/Xvid isn't natively supported in the player. If they update the Zune for DivX I will give it a try. DivX Ver. 5+ is supported, luckily I only had 1 DivX 3 sitting around and have encoded the original media to Xvid already.

Fall Update's Live ID management causes issues

Xvid and most Divx I have play fine. I did have a DivX3 that wouldn't play. Now if I could only figure out why all my MPEG4 V.2's won't play. Might be time to batch convert them up to Xvid. Also I heard reports that the Media Center doesn't get the DivX update, so if you use MC you will need to play videos by accessing your computer share in the Media blade then Video.

SubSpace inspired Shred Nebula headed to XBLA

TFA said "at least four players", but your statement would seem closer to the truth. Mega sad face indeed.

Two Worlds expansion served up in 2008

Nov 29th 2007 5:36PM (Joystiq Xbox)
Except you can't get all the achievements until they patch the game. There is a cave in the west-central area of the map you can't enter.

Seriously they need to address the issues the game has before they start boasting of an expansion.
