Son of a Biscuit, Lamp Burned Out
So I fired up the Mitsubishi WD-65831 to try out the TV Guide after a friend asked me to check it out and blammo… no picture. I thought the TV was taking a long time to warm up, turns out the bulb is dead. (Probably 3 hours of TV on it). I called the 800 number [...]

20. October 2006
Some shots of upcomming PS3 games, overall looks pretty good. Some of them look more run of the mill than others, but it seems on PS3 when something looks good, it looks great.

20. October 2006
Fox and Universal studios (funding and distrobution) have pulled out of the Halo movie product. Aparently the budget was getting ready to clear $200 million and the director selected to do the movie is a no-name with only some music videos (albeit good ones) under his belt. Even though Jackson’s name was attached to this, [...]

19. October 2006
A while ago my buddy got a WD-57732 and hasn’t had many good things to say about it when watching standard definition or playing his PS2. After getting my set and hooking it up, I’m amazed how good the SD looks, here are some comparison shots: Mitsubishi WD-57732 SD Mitsubishi WD-65831 SD No idea what [...]

19. October 2006
A quick quirk you Mitsubishi owners out there might be aware of is that your Harmony remotes don’t handle input switching on the new WD sets well for some inputs (namely the HDMI ones), the reason for my set (WD-65831) was that I had to rename my single HDMI input to “HDMI-1″ and add another [...]

19. October 2006
So my adventure in building a home theater around the perfect HDTV (for me) started over a year ago when I first saw the Sony 50″ XBR1 in Circuit City. Since then I’ve been on a rampage to find the perfect TV, stand and speaker setup for me and it has finally all arrived and [...]

18. October 2006
Thank god. I can remember as a kid running and jumping and playing. I’m glad to see that these schenanigans are finally going to be stopped. So to recap: Playing video games is bad for children Watching TV is bad for children Playing outside at recess is bad for children I guess it’s just me, but I feel a [...]

18. October 2006
GameSpot covered eBay cancelling all the PS3 auctions that went up recently. This idea is one that everyone in the nation has right now, so if you are pre-ordered with the intent to resell for a “rediculous price”, I’d suggest you cancel your pre-order, because you are likely going to get stuck with the PS3. According [...]

17. October 2006
I’m a bit of a horror movie fan, I don’t like the real stuff like Faces of Death, it freaks me out and makes me feel sick, but when it’s fake gore it’s incredible to me to see how far the effects artists can bend realism and I really appreciate a good one. My favorites [...]

17. October 2006
Looks like Sam & Max Episode 1 was released over the GameTap electronic distrobution system (why can’t we all just use Steam? So now not only can I not have a single HD disk format, but I’ll have 5 different competing electronics distrobution systems going forward… great). The schedule for the remaining episodes is as follows: Thursday, [...]

17. October 2006
Remember how I didn’t want a PS3 and have been nagging on Sony for a long time? Well I still don’t know if I want one or not, but these screenshots sure motivate me to pre-order one: I have this game on XBox 360 and it’s the best looking game I have seen on the [...]
