Are you running yours through Windows? I don't have an option to shutdown anything but XBMC, but admittedly I only did some cursory looking around right now. I spent the majority of my time getting the remote and library functions set up first, now I'll deal with the punch list items to make...

Mine didn't pass, and I confirmed it by looking at my exact model number. Turns out mine is just the 55" version of the 50" he had at the bottom of that AVS article, which also failed. That's fine though, as I don't notice anything when watching actual movies or shows, and according to Sean...

Grimmlokk, I'm very interested in the superhero genre as well, but haven't had a lot of luck finding much that really stood out to me. I haven't read a ton of different ones, but I wouldn't mind comparing notes over ones we've read or want to read. Just not sure if that's something best put...

I'm assuming you are still talking about the Panasonic plasmas at this point. All I know is that I never have to mess with audio delay unless the rip itself is obviously fucked up. I have no idea if that means it is the ARC doing it or what, because I have no technical knowledge to go off...

The one thing I thought about Tommy at the end of the episode was that he's no Michael Rosenbaum. His Lex Luthor was pretty much awesome I thought, and they didn't have to heavy-hand stuff like having him see Oliver banging Laurel through the window. Lex took years to truly develop into the...

Fuck that art history stuff, I took music appreciation instead. We had to go see 3 different musical performances and write a paper on each. One of them was a Megadeth concert (this was 1989, although I still listen to them). Dude gave me an A+ and read it out loud to the class, and then...

Yeah, I had to order it from a place in the UK, got here in about a week and a half. If you want I'll look it up and give you the info. EDIT: By the way, I've pretty much solved most of my issues through extensive googling. I was able to add a few lines to my advancedsettings.xml file that...

I think you answered my question, but I just want to be clear. I do not have a bluray player hooked up. I download bluray rips, hdtv rips, etc. So everything is coming through the HTPC completely, and supposedly being output to my TV in 4:4:4 according to what you said. Obviously it didn't...

I've seen it discussed repeatedly in the open here already, so I don't think we are really spoilering it, but I will respond in a spoiler just in case.

Like Fazana, I was pretty bummed that I will have to wait another week. They've done a pretty good job overall this season, I'm impressed. Yao Fei (no clue if I spelled that right) getting capped was not unforeseen, but still pretty surprising. Going to be disappointed when this goes on...

Yeah I was pretty disappointed with that as well. At least this means she'll show back up in future episodes. If they close Hell it is a pretty good bet that she'll at least still be walking around, with arguably a power level just under Lucifer/Crowley. Or nice tits at least.

I'm not gonna lie, I will watch The Last Ship simply for Adam Baldwin and Rhona Mitra. He's awesome and she's gorgeous. Shit will blow up every episode, guaranteed. If there's actually some sort of plausible story, that will be an added bonus!

I do not know enough about any of this 4:4:4 stuff to speak with any authority, but would this have any effect whatsoever on actually watching movies/shows through the HTPC? In that article it states that all TV, bluray, etc. is 4:2:2 or less anyway so not having 4:4:4 is fine...but if it is...

I got the latest firmware that was listed, if it wasn't the beta then I guess not. However, I don't have a Harmony (well I do, but it is over 5 years old and ate batteries like candy), I have a super awesome $9 RCA remote that I was turned on to from the AVS forums, and I love it. It is...

I'm not looking at it right now so I can't remember if I'm telling you the exact terms correctly, but when viewing the movie/show information, hit refresh. That will allow you to properly select it, like the issue I was having with Castle vs. Castle (2009). Once you choose it, it seems to...

Figured out the answer to my own question. It seems that menu I was referring to is called the context menu, which has an alternate keyboard shortcut of "c" so all I needed to do was program one of the buttons on my remote to send a "c" and it works great. There are keyboard shortcuts for...

I'm assuming that the speaker placement microphone they give you with a lot of receivers (I have this Yamahahttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that automatically pulses and measures sound is doing the same thing that your Radio Shack meter does? EDIT: NM, I finally read...

I don't disagree with what you just said here. However, I don't expect the characters to do the logical and rational thing 100% of the time. I do expect them to do it at least some of the time though. I'd typically expect a pretty high percentage for a "smart" movie, but I'd have been happy...

It actually sort of amuses me listening to all of the radio commercials for this movie now that I've seen it. Every single one of them has The Mandarin spouting all of his doom and gloom, death to Iron Man schtick. Not a mention of anything else.

The people inPrometheusacted about the same as Liam Neeson and his daughter in Taken 2. I was annoyed with them, and I'm annoyed with the characters inPrometheus, regardless of them being world-class scientists in their field. Who throws a fucking grenade across rooftops in Turkey just to help...

Nice, thanks. I'll probably give them a shot then, because that has to be less energy than leaving a room light on all the time. EDIT: If it ain't Prime, I ain't buying it! Luckily, I found the right ones immediately (http://www.amazon.com/Backlight-46-5...=lcd+backlight), so I guess I'll...

I didn't even know things like that existed, but I have always had an issue with needing to have at least some sort of light on in the room while I watch television. It typically should be behind or above me so that it isn't directly in my view, but having the room super dark always tends to...

If it is Meg, and they end up keeping her around, I'm going to nerd rage. Unless they do like j00t suggested and make it a different actress, but I'm almost certain there is some sort of rabid fanbase for that shitty, overdramatic actress. There are few actors I can't stand as much as her; I...

I can't begin to imagine the amount of rage I'd feel if I fell into lava with all that.

I liked the movie quite a bit. Minor issues, wasn't a big fan of the kid but he didn't ruin it either, could have done with more Iron Man and less Stark, etc. In regards to Pepper:

Other than the "must have" part, this isn't really news to anyone that has been looking for a TV in the past couple of years. They're just making a bigger deal about it than most reviewers.

I got my flirc in and set it up, and everything is fucking awesome now. With one exception. Several of the menus in XBMC/Aeon Nox are accessed through right-clicking the mouse, on particular areas of the screen no less (for example, right clicking on a specific episode of a show, that menu is...

If you have the room would you mind whitelisting me please McFly? I don't know if I'll have the time to build much, but I'd enjoy looking around, and you never know, this damn game might just drag me back in one of these days. I was a loyal citizen of Unicornia previously, so I'd apply for...

Interesting sleuthing. Might be something to toss his way and see what he says, but as long as he stops being a dumbass and spends his points where we tell him to from now on, I'm fine with letting him live. If he continues doing stupid shit, well I'm sure we all know what to do.

If he's on I-80 in California he is! I get your point, just had to toss that in there. I think I might get shot here in California if my car didn't go over 70. Middle of Sacramento shit is always going faster than that, let alone outside of town with less traffic. Speed limit is 65 most...

I enjoyed this movie and was glad I saw it. Most of my thoughts have been already voiced by others, but a couple of things quick. First, the person that designed those drones deserves a bonus, because they were awesome. The noises, the "facial expressions", everything about them made seem...

They only really target people seeding (i.e. giving multiple copies of it away for free), not the people downloading (stealing one copy), so the longer you seed, the more likely you would be caught if they chose to target a particular torrent. If you're worried about that sort of thing.

I love how you cut straight to the heart of the matter. Also, thanks to a slight touch of allergy, I blew snot onto my keyboard when I read your post

I always heard it as the Smoking Man. I caught the premiere episode of this season and I wasn't blown away by it. I didn't hate it, but I'm hopeful that it picks back up and gets a little more interesting like last season. No clue why young dude isn't watching her bathe and shit though...

Have no fear, I will fap to it in your stead. Although I'd most certainly fap to Kate Beckinsale first. She's my absolute favorite.

This is why I always, always make sure I'm dressed before taking any pictures, no matter how safe I think I might be. Unless of course I'm taking pictures of my cock to send to the ladies. Because they are begging for it. Which could happen, I swear! Someday Unrelated:

Assuming this is a bust tonight, going to need Dauntless/jsqueezy to pull us in tomorrow night, or have you guys work some invite magic. I'm going to be at work all day tomorrow so if you need some kicking/inviting done until 4pm pacific I can still do it, but after that I'm only going to be...

Yeah that's the first thing I did too (well, after installing Win 8), specifically because I had read about the temperature issue. Temp was still set at 78C after the update. Just the 15 minutes or so that it took to install Windows and locate the BIOS update raised the temperature to "almost...

3,083 with 13 points! Already lost several of my deep seeds though. Anyone else think that voting on this thing is sort of landslide-ish? Emma Watson losing to Katherine Webb with only 20% of the vote? I mean, I picked her to win but I am not surprised she lost...but 80/20? I didn't even...

I enjoyed the books well enough, knowing they weren't ever going to be nominated for something like a Hugo or Nebula award. I also enjoyed the Dan Brown books well enough for what they were. And Harry Potter, since he mentioned them. I hated Twilight and never read Eragon. The third Hunger...
