    What is your favorite YouTube video?

    Fan film made by the guy who played Desh in the Bourne Ultimatum with Capcom's blessing. It's in High Def too, so you're better off watching it on Youtube and picking 1080p.

    UK: Top Gear, for the fans..

    Euro Fords do not equal US Fords, you have to keep that in mind when looking at their reviews of American cars. There is no US equivalent of the Mondeo anymore, and Ford destroyed the Focus in the US. One can only hope they go back to the Euro styling/builds/options soon. I'm pleasantly...

    FIFA World Cup - Germany 2006

    I was able to attend the Real Madrid/DC United tilt in Seattle back in August, unfortunately I had no camera with me. My friend and I had really good seats though, halfway up the upper deck, stradling the midfield line. It was quite a show in the first half, many good chances for Van Nistilroy...

    HDMI Error 1

    HDMI is go! The repair was just completed about 20 minutes ago, and I'm now able to watch movies over the HDMI connection. It was a pretty painless repair, 1 part needed to be replaced and all seems good now. Woo hoo! A

    HDMI Error 1

    My player came with 1.3, and I updated it to 1.4 as part of my HDMI troubleshooting issue. Someone over at AVS had the same issue with a 30ES and I have a 50ES (Sony Receivers), but neither of us have been able to figure out a solution yet. A

    HDMI Error 1

    I had a repair person out to check my TV a week ago, turns out my HDMI input on the TV is bad. Sony's covering the repair, even though the tv is slightly out of warranty, and it should be fixed on Thursday. I'll try to update the thread if that takes care of the issue. If not, yet another call...

    HDMI Error 1

    Yeah, I didn't feel like spending $70+ at Best Buy for a 0 and 1 transmitter. With digital the cables don't usually make much difference, although the possibility of a bad cable is there. If I can find an inexpensive cable locally, I may try the cable swap later. I did hook up via Component...

    HDMI Error 1

    I didn't want to post a new topic on this, but I didn't see my issue covered in the other HDMI error threads. I just picked up an HD-A!, and I'm having an issue with HDMI error 1, with a Sony 42WE655 Wega. When I first set everything up, I could get into the menus and make all the...

    FIFA World Cup - Germany 2006

    The US did play poorly in a game they had to win. The 1 goal they scored was a good goal, but the rest of their play just seemed lackadaisicle (sp) and like they weren't concerned about winning. I don't know if that's a coach or a player problem, but that says volumes about the team. And what's...

    FIFA World Cup - Germany 2006

    Wow, the US laid an egg today. As I read somewhere, this is what happens when you run into one of the best teams in the world, but it seems like they didn't put in as much effort as they have in the past. What is it with playing in Europe during the WC? They didn't win in Italy, they didn't win...

    FIFA World Cup - Germany 2006

    Go T&T! They played well with only 10 men in the second half. Sweden did have their chances though, but Hislop was on fire. I loved how the crowd turned for T&T during the match, rising to the occassion when they made a good play. That second yellow on Avery John was a really weak call. He...

    Home Theater is no longer my #1 hobby

    If I could fit in one, I'd go for a Mustang GT too. I like that they're bringing back the GT500 and the California Special. Being 6'7" and big makes it hard to find a fun car I can fit in. Of course, there's always the '68s... I just need to find one fastback GT in semi-decent shape for not a...

    HTF Anime Discussion Part VIII

    As someone who wasn't a big fan of Ghost in the Shell the movie, I recommend checking out Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. I've enjoyed the 2 series a great deal more than the movies. I'm not sure why, but maybe it's just the extra time they have to tell the story. 13 hours compared to 2...

    FIFA World Cup - Germany 2006

    Don't get me wrong, I still root for teams in CONCACAF to do well (outside of Mexico, unless it sets up a US v Mexico match in the elimination round like 2002). I guess you can compare it to Red Sox/Yankees, Cowboys/Redskins, or from the 80's Lakers/Celtics. You never see fans of one team...

    I haven't posted here in forever it seems, not like I posted much before. I've been watching GitS SAC 2nd gig lately, while still holding off on watching Samurai 7 for some reason (I have all the disks up through 6, just haven't found myself jumping into that series so much yet). SAC 2nd gig...

    FIFA World Cup - Germany 2006

    US fan here, as well as Brazil (call me a front runner if you will, but I love the way they play the game). I'm also rooting for Costa Rica, Ivory Coast, T&T, and Togo; gotta root for the small guys :) I cannot believe that there are people here rooting for the US and Mexico. Maybe it's my...

    Any success pre-ordering a PS3 yet?

    When I asked about Wii/PS3 pre-orders at EB, they said the company as a whole is planning to wait until a month or 2 prior to release. They don't want to duplicate the 360 fiasco again. Online retailers may have pre-orders available before then, so you may need to keep checking places like...

    NCAA Basketball 2005-2006 Season

    Too bad you guys didn't get to see more Brandon Roy, although you will get to see more of him next year in the NBA, provided you watch it. Washington made some bad decisions toward the end there (Ryan Appleby shoot a layup!!!), but I can't believe they had 5 guys foul out. Just crazy. There was...

    2006 NFL Offseason Discussion Thread

    Burleson's only guaranteed about 15 mil though, and the chances are the contract is ridiculously backloaded. Remember that NFL contracts should only be judged by the first 3-4 years (much like Shawn Alexander in effect signed a 4 year, 32 million dollar deal). The Seahawks are just having a...

    Ever fallen in love with a place?

    For me I'd have to say Whistler, BC. I was just there 1.5 weeks ago for the first time, and didn't see much being sick and all, but what I did see was awesome. In fact, I really want to learn how to snowboard now, just from hanging out there for a couple of days. At least that way I could enjoy...

    I finally found a 360, thanks to circuitcity.com! It should be arriving in the next 5 or so days. I'll be spending my weekend picking up a few titles so I'm ready for it. Hopefully I'll see you all online in GRAW or Burnout soon. A

    For those of you with a Fry's in the area, if you want to pick up stuff like Burnout Revenge, DOA4, and Fight Night round 3, they have them on sale for 48 bucks this weekend. At least the Fry's in the puget sound area does. I'm glad I finally found a 360 and can take advantage of this sale. A

    John: Yeah, there are things which TRSI has higher priced, its usually the 33-40% off sales or their daily deals where TRSI is the best. For my limited collecting, TRSI usually works out. However I picked up Samurai 7 LE #3 from Amazon as they had it priced at 16.99! for some reason. I love...

    Hey John, If you can, take advantage of the last 2 days of the TRSI Funimation sale and pick up Samurai 7 4 and 5 pre-orders at 40% off. They don't always make pre-orders available on these sales, so take advantage while you can. Also join got Anime? and save a few more bucks. No, I don't...

    I've really become a big fan of Ippo (Fighting Spirit), and finally got to see disk 6 of it this past weekend with the group of anime loving friends. Such a great show, the fight for the East Japan Rookie title was great! FMA 4 was also screened, that series just keeps getting better and...

    Tell me about Tacoma, WA and surrounding areas

    Leila: it's so stressful because the commute sucks and people are still unemployed, oh and gang violence in Tacoma. Other than that, it's great :) If your sister's BF is more of an outdoorsy type, have him check places like Enumclaw, Maple Valley, Issaquah, North Bend (both of these on I-90...

    Just a heads up for anyone who is interested in going to World Cup 2006 in Germany. The ticket applications are now available to be filled out. They are doing the lottery system for tickets, with acutal purchases being in April for the lucky few who get selected. I believe 800,000 or so tickets...

    World of Warcraft

    I enjoy playing on a pvp server, the added element of danger/rush of fighting an equal level player is great. I haven't been ganked a lot outside of a couple of areas (although it was pretty much expected based on what I've heard of areas like Booty Bay). That and I'm a rogue, which means I'm...
