    HI-RES Final Fantasy VIII PC 2013

    Is there a bunch of mods for the 2000 PC release of FF8 like there is for the FF7 PC release? If there are, I can't imagine that any re-release they do will look anywhere near as good, though maybe there will be better mods for it if they make it easier to run.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Sad part is I need to redo that and add in the subwoofer cable tomorrow since I'm moving my sub to between my desk and couch in front of that speaker stand that's shown a couple shots above. Or I could just add another layer of tape on top of that I guess.

    I am totally fucking terrible at that cord organization shit, even though I'm good at just about any other kind of organization. I look at my mess of cords and I just herp 'till I derp. I did kind of clean up the cords that come off the back of the TV, but god I do not even know where to start...

    HI-RES Final Fantasy VIII PC 2013

    I don't think it's really a troll, it's just a hilarious cash grab re-release of a 13 year old PC title that 2 interns are probably doing all the work on. Remember that FFX/X-2 HD and KH1.5 HD were both done byliterallyonly 2 people, this is probably just more of that.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    This would probably go better in a "Shit I Just Built" thread, but here's a pair of speaker stands I just made for the new bookshelf speakers I bought for surround speakers that go with my floorstanding front speakers. Good quality speaker stands that would actually hold these monsters cost...

    EA ditching online passes:http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/a...line-pass.aspx I suspect their games will have some other, far more obtrusive form of monetization in return. Online passes never really bugged me since I always buy games new, but I'm sure whatever other crap they'll try to...

    Backwards Compatibility - Is it really that important?

    Okay miscounted, have 24 PS3 discs + 3 PSN games (not counting PSN+ free titles, of which there's a bunch). Mostly RPGs. Yes, I know I suck for not having any Uncharted games or Journey. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categor...n_3-only_games My PS3 Library: Atelier RoronaAtelier...

    Backwards Compatibility - Is it really that important?

    I wouldn't say byfarthe best, but his statement is pretty off. I think they were pretty even on exclusives. All 22 of my PS3 games are exclusive titles and about 16 of 113 X360 discs that I have are X360 exclusive. If you count X360/PC games as exclusives too that number goes up to about 20 I...

    Spring 2013 Anime Thread

    It's a fun show. Some people don't like it, but I am enjoying the main characters being a group of misfits. Not every show needs to be lead by a badass! The characters are steadily improving too.

    Backwards Compatibility - Is it really that important?

    I thought about putting more options, but I figured a yes/no choice was good enough. Either you actually do care or you don't really care and I wanted to see the sample sizes between each. Plus, it's sparked plenty of conversation. Honestly, I didn't think there would be quite so many Yes votes...

    Backwards Compatibility - Is it really that important?

    I hope Sony clears up the PSOne Classics thing. Those absolutely should transfer over to the PS4 since emulating the PS1 is a joke (pretty sure that's how the PS3 runs PS1 games, pure software BC). They need to get PS2 classics running on it too, since emulating that would be a breeze for the...

    The X360 isn't exactly a "PC in a box." It uses PPC architecture and the X720 will use X86. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon_(processor)

    TMNT Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    Fuck I wish that series wasn't cancelled, it was god damned hilarious. Thad was amazing and the Pocket Pussy episode waslegendary. I'll be watching this, though probably pirating it, just to see if his Raph turns out totally awesome.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Personally I'd still prefer that X-men and all that stuff be in the same universe, but I think they'd work better as Animated Movies & Series. Throw the Disney animation studio muscle behind stuff like the X-men and Fantastic Four (but keep Marvel in charge and writing) and keep them in the same...

    Backwards Compatibility - Is it really that important?

    So, I was thinking about what to leave hooked up to my receiver when the next generation comes and I had a thought: Have I ever really used the backwards compatibility of my PS3? I think I only ever actually used it once or twice. Thus, I wondered why people seem to make a big deal about it...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I actually kinda wish Disney was alittlemore hands on. Imagine if Disney threw their animation production muscle behind some animated movies of Marvel properties. Let the Marvel guys do all the writing and shit, but let them have full access to the Disney resources. They could make some amazing...

    Piecing together a speaker system

    Btw, the Center speaker does go on sale:http://slickdeals.net/newsearch.php?...=0&firstonly=1 It's been as low as $59.99 at Fry's (sadly it wasn't on sale anymore when I was there or I'd have picked it up instead of the bookshelves probably since it's more important) and it's currently $67.99...

    Piecing together a speaker system

    Wall mounting the TV here is impossible (that wall behind it is not able to hold anything at all) and impractical. There's just no way that I can do the 3x tower speaker thing. Also it would look absolutely terrible. I'm just going to keep the Onkyo sub, it's more than adequate. I can't...

    Piecing together a speaker system

    Pictures since someone asked. Also thinking about moving the subwoofer that's on the left over to where the two bookshelf speakers are currently sitting on the floor (won't be hooked up till I build a stand for them to put in the corners behind the couch).

    Piecing together a speaker system

    Holy, fucking, shit. Played my two favorite songs of the files that I have in flac (Euphoric Field and Diamond Crevasse) over these in just stereo mode so it's only use the two floorstanding speakers. Blown thefuckaway. There is an absurdly huge world of difference between these Pioneers and...

    Piecing together a speaker system

    Also of note, those bookshelf speakers don't have anything on the back to anchor them with. Pretty sure they're also way the fuck too heavy to anchor. Going to hit up Lowe's with my dad tomorrow or sometime soon and see about building some corner stands for them since speaker stand prices...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    My dad's over here today and I put on the race for him and as soon as he sat down he commented on the backlight and said that watching TV with one is waaaaaaaay easier on his eyes. After a day of using it I could never use my TV without one again, there's such a huge difference in eyestrain...

    Piecing together a speaker system

    I have an Onkyo sub that came with my set that I probably won't replace for quite a while, but if/when I do it'll be with the Pioneer sub that matches the speaker set. So, took a 150 mile round trip to Fry's today with my dad. It was the first time I'd ever been a Fry's. Like, holy fucking...

    Piecing together a speaker system

    Yeah, that's way more than I want to budget out for only a 2.1 package. I also have a fairly small apartment and there's only so much I can turn up my current sub as is due to neighbors, etc. The Pioneers forbin linked are overkill as is for the size of my current place, but from all I've read...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    They're actually quite a bit brighter than the picture shows, the camera I used isn't very good. The wall behind the TV is like nearly pure white and the light really brightens it up. It works amazing well though, have all the other lights off and just the backlights on and it feels perfect...

    Piecing together a speaker system

    Here's the Fry's add btw guys:http://www.frys.com/ads/audio-video-...tronics#AdNavi 77 bucks a piece of the floorstanding ones, $77 for the bookshelf pair. No sale on the center or sub, sadly. Seems pretty good considering Newegg/Amazon are about $125 for the floor standing ones and $146 for...

    Piecing together a speaker system

    No, I have not. I am probably going to get the Pioneers that forbin suggested. Fry's is having a big sale on them so I'm going to see about picking part of the set of them up tomorrow.

    Piecing together a speaker system

    So, with those big as all fuck bookshelf speakers for the surrounds, I was thinking that instead of putting them flat against a wall I could somehow anchor them in the corners and point them towards the center of the couch like in the positioning pictures. Would that work?

    Piecing together a speaker system

    The floorstanding ones I can work in okay, they're going to be really big but they won't be too much of a hassle. It's actually the bookshelves for the surrounds that I am a bit worried about - they are fucking massive compared to the ones I have on the wall.
