^You could use your CRT as your monitor and get HD. ;)

True bro, but my friends come ofter often and we need all the space we can get. We'd rather play on a bed, look at a nice big screen, and hear some explosive sounds coming from the speakers. Crowding around a dingy '17 monitor and listening to some dingy 2.1 speakers wouldn't make much sense.

And I guess if you do hook it up to your montor, it's techinically HDTV, but on a tiny 17 inch? I see no difference, I don't see HD. Now if it's on a sleek 32+ inch screen, now THAT'S HD, no wait, it's not HD, it's an orgasm to your eyes. :laugh:

set your pc's resolution to the lowest possible, that's SDTV, now turn it back up to the highest res., that's HD

very big difference with a normal tv imo.

Have you ever tried playing split screen on a 17" monitor? Not fun. ;)

Here is my set-up.

52' RCA HDTV

I just got the wireless headset a few days ago. Working pretty good for me. I only have 5 games but i'm doubling that this weekend!

I'm a PC gamer too man. I've played in all resolutions. Still doesn't change the size of the monitor.

Just recently upgraded from a '13 to a '27. My friends parents upgraded to HDTV and didn't need their '27 anymore. They sold it to me for just $50. I'm really glad I bought this, I mean it's not HDTV, but for a 17-year old guy who's counting his dollars, this is one of the best things I could buy.

i like your setups, they're from the real world.

These suck because my only camera is the one on my phone. Anyway I didn't clean up like I said I would yesterday. I couldnt really be bothered. In amongst all the junk theres a Logitech Z5400, of which the control panel is atop the 360. Thats a 24 inch Benq FP241W. To its right is an iAudio X5 MP3 player which I'm using for audio atm since my PC's solution is less than satisfactory. The case is a Lian Li V2100B and like every great setup known to man theres a lavalamp next to the monitor.

Yeah theres a crap load of CD's, I'm currently re-ripping my collection. Those 2 piles account for 1 shelf worth of my collection. It's going to take some time.

finally the lair of the smigit is revealed!

Here's my setup :D

nice one magik! got a love lounge feel to it.

I win. I'm an 18 year old counting my dollars aswell, 32" LCD HDTV FTW! However, as a comission salesmen, I do make good money, more than average 18 year olds make. Usually around $35/hr. Ok nvm Im not counting my dollars. Damn I should have went 50"!

Next up, Harmon Karden receiver! Wooo!

Here is my brand new setup.

It is literally just two days old. :punk:

Unfortunately, I have not been able to play more than an hour yet. :(

Notice the Nyko Intercooler in the basket on the floor to the right.

Took it off as soon as I read a thread that was started here about it.

hahahaha Larry nice to see how you roll. took me a while to find your 360, almost like Waldo there for a second.

regarding the core...i bought it off a dude that bought the core + wireless controller, HD cables and HDD with 4 games back last december for $400 dollars. So beat that deal! :D

Regarding WMP11, yeah...I have WMP 11...This however is my all in one WINAMP skin.... :devil:

Yeah, I have to say that that is one hardcore-looking setup, Meshuggah. :) Looks like the set of some "hacker" movie. :laugh:

The Jersey trio have impressed me the most so far. (Y) Almost makes me want to move there. Houses come with nice HDTVs there, right? :p

jerzdawg,

I absolutely love the tv stand..wonder where can I find it or which store is it from?

Nice tv setup by the way :)

thanks.. its actually from Ikea... it was 2 years ago but it was one of their common things..so they should still have it... plus it was only $99 iirc

It looks like the GoW Emergence Day theme

Nope. It's a Halo 3 Theme...I think it's customized though, not one that you actually get off the MP. The GoW Theme has the text "I played on Emergence Day 11/12/06" (or something like that) bottom center.

    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
