    What games drove you to insanity? or What games couldnt you finish?

    David, I understand your frustration, for I have been there myself. Fire Leo is one of the hardest bosses I have ever encountered in a video game. I consider him to be so hard, in fact, that I actually remember him by his goddamn name rather than calling him the "boss of level six." Still, I'm...

    DVD Review *** Official HTF REVIEW & Discussion Thread: Star Wars Trilogy, pt. 1

    Fredrik L, I just wanted you to know that from reading that last post of yours, I realize that you are perhaps the one reasonable person who actually knows what he's talking about in this entire 25-page thread. You, sir, have my respect, and I wish you the best while you try to enlighten the...

    Mario 128-Still no news

    Chris, lest you forget, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II launched the same day as the Cube. For many people, myself included, that was a huge reason to own a GameCube when it first came out. And it was an excellent game to boot. While we're on the subject, Super Smash Bros. and Pikmin both came...

    X-Box 2 will win next console battle

    This has to be the most convoluted reasoning I've seen in this thread, and that's saying something. Look at it this way: The PS2 owns the lion's share of the market right now, correct? That said, there are still dozens of fine, exclussive titles for it, the Xbox, and yes, even the GameCube...

    First SVS?

    Quinn; I sincerely doubt you will be disappointed with the 25-31PCi's performance. However, if you think that you might want the extra bass extension, the 20-39 model is only $50 more and the 16-46 one is an extra $100. The extra money you spend now may save you some trouble later on. That's...

    Please recommend a decent 5 speaker set! Budget ~$400

    My money's on these speakers.

    Adding spikes to an SVS sub....

    Perhaps I should mention that the original SVS subs did in fact come with a set of detatchable spikes. These were later removed from future models. Here's what they have to say from the quick set up guide that came with my PC-Plus: There you have it.

    Resident Evil availability on GameCube?

    Actually, Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero are now both Player's Choice titles, and they did sell pretty well. It's the reissuses of the other games which didn't do so well. I just thought I'd clear that up.

    SVS upgrade? What should I do

    John; How well does the SVS perform in your room? If the room is big and the PC-Plus is having a hard time dealing with some of the more bass intense movies, I'd say pick up an Ultra or an SS. However, you already have a pretty phenomenal sub. The money you would spend on that might be...

    Give me three good reasons to buy a Gamecube.

    Do you even want a GameCube? If it doesn't appeal to you, why bother asking us to convince you that you should buy one? I'll give you some advice. Don't buy a GameCube. You won't like it. It's a crappy system with nothing but a bunch of kiddie games and no online support. If you end up buying...

    RE4; GameCube Exclusive Confirmed & Given Major Overhaul

    The funny thing is that the control scheme will be almost exactly like all of the other games in the series. The difference here being that since the game presents an over-the-shoulder view, the "push up to move forward" makes more sense. Personally, I can't wait. The remake of the first one...

    Which do you prefer for gaming? 16:9 or 4:3?

    Another option would be to buy the widescreen TV and play 4:3 games in the 4:3 mode on your TV. If the set displays grey bars on the sides, you can always make some mattes to cover them up.

    --Need help with SVS decision--

    Rob; My guess is that a 25-31PCi will provide enough bass for a room of that size. I had a 16-46PC with the improved standard driver in a room of about that size and it was plenty loud for both music and movies. I suppose if you want to future-proof the sub, you should go with the PB2 Plus...

    SVS PC-Ultra is now available

    I've wondered the same thing myself. Still, if you're really interested in getting that very deep sub-sonic bass found on many DVDs, it is possible to tune the sub to 16Hz with the help of a port blocker and the SS filter on the amp. The only downside is that you lose just a little bit of output...

    Just got my SVS 20-39 PCi. OMG, you guys are crazy

    Let me tell you a little story. I bought my first SVS back in May of 2001. It was one of the original 16-46PC models, and when I got my hands on it, I was in bass nirvana. My reaction was the same as yours. "Oh my God! I'm going to rip this house apart with this sub!" Fortunately that never...

    driving the divas

    Well, since you asked... I have a set of Diva 4.1s, a C3 center channel, and a pair of R3s in the surround channels. Right now, I'm powering them off of a an Outlaw 750 amplifier (165 watts/channel @ 8 Ohms). I am also using a Rotel RSP 1066 as the pre-pro. When I first got the Divas, I...

    swan speakers, ever heard of them?

    Joey; I bought a set of these speakers back when they were sold by AV123. I have a set of 4.1s in the front, the C3 center channel, and a pair of R3s in the surrounds. The look and sound of these speakers is top-notch. I've had them for almost two years now and have no strong desire to get...

    What tuning should I use for my SVS PB 2 Plus?

    My first instinct is to tell you that you should stick with the stock tuning point so as to get the most volume in that room of yours. However, I suggest that once you get your hands on the sub, you try out the different settings yourself. See if you can lower the tuning point and still get...

    Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando - A MUST BUY!

    I won't spoil anything for you, but there are a few more nods to Jak and Daxter scattered throughout the Going Commando. One level in particular features a reference which will look extremely familiar to anyone who has ever played the first Jak game. I got a pretty good laugh out of it.
