    Post Pictures of your Console Setups! All Generations

    Finally finished setting things up in the man cave. Not nearly as elaborate as some of you guys, but it gets the job done. Sorry for the shitty phone pics:

    What is the best way to connect a Dreamcast to a modern TV?

    Quick search shows that at least one Onkyo model from a few years ago, the TX-NR609, supports VGA in. I'm also in the same boat as the OP, and found this combination to work quite well: Tomee Dreamcast VGA cable OREI VGA -> HDMI converter box I had originally tried the Sewell...

    Just bought an original Wii!

    The first 3 games on that list had very limited production runs, accounting for their current high resale value. I remember picking up Xenoblade at release for $50, and then selling it on Ebay for over $100 a few months later after I finished it.

    New Video Card = Static When Gaming

    Update: I switched out the power supply with a SeaSonic SSR-650RM, and the static's completely gone. Thanks very much for the suggestion!

    The Wii U is done

    Can we please just get this thread locked? It's obvious that the Wii U isn't "done" until Nintendo announces that they are no longer producing/supporting the console. Until that time comes, this whole thread is just pointless.

    Bought a Sony W800B 50 inch. Impressions.

    Anyone know if the Best Buy exclusive variant W700B uses the same panel as the W800B? Best as I can tell, the only major differences is that the W700B has a different color bezel/stand (silver vs black) and lacks the 3d capabilities of the W800B. It's also $100 cheaper, which is a great...

    I really like that desk and bookshelf - where did you get both pieces from?

    New Video Card = Static When Gaming

    Tried running an extension cord to the receiver from a bathroom outlet that's definitely on a separate circuit, and no dice - still getting the static. I'll try switching the PSUs in both rigs next.

    New Video Card = Static When Gaming

    I just recently put a GTX 970 in my main rig, and ever since, I've been getting buzzing/static/interference coming through my receiver (refurbed Onkyo TX-SR507), but only when the GPU is being used. While on the desktop, there's no static/interference at all, but as soon as I bring up a game...

    For FPS games do you play normal or inverted?

    For me, it goes like this: First-person = kb/m = normal Third-person = controller = inverted I don't play first-person games on consoles. If a third-person game (either on PC or console) doesn't have an option to invert both axes, then I simply won't play it

    Speakers sound extremely muffled with new amp..

    Double-check that you've got things connected on the speaker end properly, in particular the metal jumper. For a single amp connection, the jumper needs to remain connected. You can then use either the top or bottom set of binding posts to connect to the amp, though I think Polk recommends you...

    Dark Souls 2 PC - April 25, 2014

    Compared to DS1, did they add some additional "dead" frames into the end of your attack animations that prevent you from blocking immediately after finishing an attack? I recall having no trouble at all with transitioning from attack -> block in DS1, but I'm getting wrecked ALOT in DS2 in...

    The Wii U is done

    I just picked up the Mario/Luigi Wii U bundle from Wal-Mart this morning on my way to work (they price-matched the Target sale price for $275), and then got in on the 3-for-2 deal at Target with Super Mario 3D World, Wind Waker HD, and Mario Kart 8. Can't wait to get home and start digging in...

    Xbox One controller PC drivers now availible

    Can't get to the article from work, but is the controller recognized as an Xinput device or a regular old USB HID device like the DS4?
