    Who games on a 120Hz tv?

    I have a 120Hz TV (Sony KDS-50A3000) -- I play with the Motion Enhancer turned off because of the lag, especially during music games such as the Rock Band and Guitar Hero series.

    1st Gen CTS-V

    I really like the CTS-V, almost bought a 2004 last year actually for a DD. I liked the car overall, but my two gripes were sloppy rear end and the interior was crap.

    Saw my first R8 in the flesh today....

    I hadn't decided if I liked it or not until I finally saw one in person. I was picking up my car from the dealership and one pulled out right after me. I almost drove into a fence because I was staring at it. It definitely looks better in person.

    Very old thread revived for no reason GameStop: Big Problem

    You should be surprised they even had it in stock. They only seem to order [PREORDERS - 10] for any new game it seems. I gave up on GameStop a long time ago for various reasons.

    360,difference between the analog audio and optical

    As Modeps said, it's a huge difference. If you have a receiver with an optical input, by all means, get an optical cable. I recommend monoprice.com -- you could buy like 3 or 4 cables for the price 1 from Best Buy, Radio Shack etc.

    Northern Virginia / MD / DC people please chime in

    Keep proximity to a Metro station in mind if you plan on using it on a regular basis. I was commuting from Springfield to work every day (about 45 minutes) and it drove me nuts. Last June, I finally decided to buy something closer to work, 5 minutes away, be exact. I bought a brand new condo...

    New Live Demo - Kindom Under Fire: Circle of Doom

    Was looking forward to this game from the videos that were available for download from XBL, but the gameplay is a big disappointment. It's just moving around and mashing buttons. There is inventory control and character customization, but the actual gameplay is really repetitive. The game...

    AWD coupe/sedan list < $50k MSRP

    I have a TT 3.2L Quattro. It's a great car, but just make sure you have that truck also, or just a second vehicle in general. Yeah, there's 4 seats. But 2 of them are 100% useless unless you have children with no legs. There is plenty of room in the front seats, trunk is small. Handles...

    Games similar to Leasure suit larry: MCL

    I believe there was a game from the Monkey Island series on the PS2. There really aren't any of those "classic" adventure style games anymore; there was a massive amount of them on the PC, especially from Sierra and Lucasarts years ago. She may also like Indigo Prophecy.

    Whats the best HD cable i can get for my Xbox( not a Xbox 360)

    Yes, the MS Advanced AV pack has component -- I think I got mine for ~ $20 years ago from Best Buy. I'd just check a Gamestop or something similar, pickup a used one for cheap.

    Playstation Network vs. Xbox Live

    They aren't even comparable. XBL is integrated very well with the games and the system. PSN seems like an afterthought. $50/year for XBL (and it's not hard to get it for $40) is loose change.

    Madden 08

    I am averaging 6 fumbles a game now, even when protecting the ball. And the interceptions are ridiculous. One of my most recent games, I had 5 INTs, and returned 4 for TDs. Every single kick is a touchback. I've never failed to nearly kick it out of the endzone. Frame rate is...

    Duke students tear down goal posts after an away victory at Northwestern.

    YEAH WE WON LET'S TEAR DOWN THE GOAL POSTS! Idiots. Just like looting in your own town when your team wins.

    The garage, help me :(

    How deep is the scratch? I would assume it isn't that deep, that you could get some rubbing compound to get rid of it. I've used Meguiars recently to get some scrapes/scratches out, worked very well. Keep in mind there are different grades of it, some for light scratches, some for medium, etc.

    UMK3 for XBLA

    I have the DoA arcade fighting stick for the 360. And it is useless for UMK3, because they don't allow you to remap the buttons. It defaults to a button layout that is pointless, just mixed up. If you haven't purchased UMK3 from XBLA, just don't. I don't recommend it. As one of the other...
