    Miles And Monk At Newport

    this is the one i'm talking about. i'm a huge fan of both, but it sounds like from what you guys are saying is that it's seperate performances. i had assumed from the title that they played together.

    Miles And Monk At Newport

    hello everyone. i'm considering purchasing the miles and monk at newport cd, but it's pretty pricy. i need someone to tell me if it's good or bad. well... awesome or just plain good would probably be more appropriate. i just picked up miles davis at carnegie hall this past weekend and it's...

    Has anyone used a usb Nintendo controller?

    i don't suppose anyone knows of something similar only with the sega genesis controller? [edit] okay i found the blackchopper webpage linked off of the nintendo one, but there's no way i'm paying 80 bucks for a genesis adapter...

    Canadian sound vs. British sound?

    i'm going to disagree with this. when i got my setup (marantz amp, monitor audio speakers) i noticed a difference in sound. i found canadian speakers like energy to be harsh to my ears and paradigms to be bassy and more for rock music. i found mission and monitor audio on the other hand more...

    TOshiba 42H81 work ok from PC for gaming ?

    as far as the burn-in problem goes, so long as your tv is properly calibrated you won't have much of a problem. i've played COUNTLESS hours of street fighter on my tosh 40x81 and i still don't see an ounce of burn in from the power meters that are always on screen. if you don't have it, pick up...

    X-Arcade joystick adapter question

    sorry i guess i misunderstood. when i ordered mine, i got the dreamcast adapter (for free if i remember correctly) and the pc adapter was standard and came with it. you shouldn't have to pay extra unless you want another adapter. on the the topic of lag, there is a noticeable lag on the...

    X-Arcade joystick adapter question

    yah the pc adapter is standard. you have to use it as a pass through for your keyboard for it to work. plug your keyboard into the back of the xarcade, then take the ps2 adapter that should have come with your xarcade into the back of your computer into the keyboard port.

    movie moments - the biggest laugh you've had (spoilers, of course)

    the naked gun: i might not be remembering the scene correctly, but when frank drebbin tells that tall guy he's got some food on his face. he promply wipes his face (which is out of frame) and a banana falls to the table. the big lebowski: "he treats objects like women, man." christmas...

    mouse cursor moving by itself

    funny thing about being connected to the internet... the first time i saw it happen, i immediately thought "someone's in my computer" so i disabled my internet connection. i continued working for a bit and turned off my computer, forgetting that i'd disabled my connection. after turning my...

    mouse cursor moving by itself

    hello. i'm having trouble with my computer. the cursor sometimes decides to move by itself. i don't think it's some kind of trojan horse with some hacker controlling my computer. it's just random movement with occasional right and left clicks. sometimes if it's lucky, it'll click on an icon on...

    ps2 controllers

    i realize that i'm in the vast minority, but i hate the playstation controller. i've never found it comfortable and i don't like the 4-button Dpad... the problem is, i'm starting to really like the ps2's games. assuming i DO decide to get a ps2 in the future, are there any nice, 3rd party...

    Disney Urged To Drop Disposable DVD Idea

    i gladly signed this. the idea of disposable discs infuriates me to no end. i can't believe how wastefull and lazy you'd have to be to think that leaving your home for 5 minutes to return a dvd is such a chore. go for a walk! ride a bike!

    Roger Rabbit: VISTA review up!

    okay okay... so i agree this is a form of censorship, however to say you won't buy this movie because it's missing a little finger slip is, in my opinion, silly. it's not a plot point. it doesn't change the story. you can't equate that to what's-his-face shooting first in star wars. at any...

    Roger Rabbit: VISTA review up!

    i don't care if people get mad at me for this, but i've never heard a bigger group of cry babies in my life. this is one of my favorite movies of all time and i'll be at my local b&m first thing to pick it up whether it's edited or not. are you really not going to enjoy the movie because some...

    The Nintendo "MEGATON" Announcement

    if nintendo makes the gba2, i'm almost positive it's gonna have an organic led screen. cnn has a story about OLEDs right here and only a few months ago, did a story on OLEDs on headline news and they had some footage of 2 gbas running side by side... one had the current screen, the second had a...

    Switching 4:3 to 16:9 in video editing

    well assuming it's 720x486, you'll first want to crop it to 720x405 then resize it again to 720x486, which in essense would give you the 16:9 image you want. alternatively, you could resize it first to 640x480 (the square pixel version of 720x486), crop to 640x360 then resize again to 640x480 or...

    Any Star Fox Adventures reviews yet?

    all of the screenshots i've seen for this game look amazing. i'm dying to have it but i haven't seen any reviews yet. i seriously doubt any reviews will be so bad as to make me not get it but you know... it's always nice to know how good or amazing a game is in advance. and does anyone know...
