    What are you playing right now?

    I finally finished Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. The story ending certainly leaves the door open for more sequels to come. Great game. I really liked Dragon Age, so I'm looking foreward to sitting down with DA2. I played the online demo. The gameplay seems much different than the first...

    What are you playing right now?

    How is the new Metroid? I'm sure I'll pick it up eventually, but was wondering how it compares to Prime 3 Corruption.

    What are you playing right now?

    Joey, Assassin's Creed was great. Assassin 2 is even better. I'm playing Dragon Quest Sentinels Of The Starry Skies on DS. It's just like the other DQ games, and it's nice and long. I might be out of the loop for awhile, though, because my wife is due to deliver our first baby in...

    "laserdisc is dead! long live the laserdisc!"

    I bought my LD player as my first real adventure in HT. Soon after, I bought an early AC-3 receiver and I was king of the hill! Of course it didn't take long for DVD to kick the format to the curb, so for awhile I felt like I spent more $$ on it than it was worth. I've since evolved from that to...

    My close call with death

    Scott, As a rider, your story hits close to home. I've been in several near-misses and have seen some fellow riders go down, but I've been fortunate. Thanks for posting your story. I'll be sure to share it with others. Good to see you back! I wish you a full and fast recovery. -Hogie

    Metroid Trilogy

    I'd say Prime 3 is definitely worth it. Get a comfy place to sit, but make sure you're upright with good freedom of movement, because it's an arm-swinging, aim and shoot game. It's challenging, addictive, and beautiful. Loved it. I'd like to know how silly I looked when I was playing.

    Onkyo or Pioneer Elite?

    Juan, I strongly recommend that you thoroughly check out and listen to both models. It's certainly worth your time to check out Denon, also. There's a lot to consider with a receiver. Personally, I've owned Elite receivers, and I know a few people with Onkyo receivers and assisted with their...

    Bose Acoustimass Subwoofer?

    Hey man, my Acoustimass set was a significant upgrade from my Kmart single speaker clock radio back in the day! :D I won't tell you how much I paid for it, though....

    Bose Acoustimass Subwoofer?

    The "bass module" you have is not capable of handling the strong, low frequencies delivered through the LFE channel. Without the satellites that connect to it, it is pretty much worthless.

    Connecting two receivers problem

    You can connect the L and R front pre-outs on the main receiver to a CD input on the secondary receiver. Any input on the secondary receiver except phono will work. Does your main receiver have a zone 2 option? That would be a better option. You can go from zone 2 pre out on the main receiver to...

    Any thoughts on Bose ???

    There's a lot of people out there that love to trash Bose, you probably know that by now. I used Bose for years, so let me give you an opinion based on personal experience..... I used two sets of Acoustimass 5s and a Bose center speaker for a 5.1 channel set-up with a decent receiver (at the...
