Controller for me, but my gaming is on the HTPC in the living room... couch or recliner always equals controller

I've had a variety of devices attached to that HDMI input without issue, and I've tried using the other HDMI input but the problem persists. I used the tv for about four years without the HTPC connected and it never had the same issue, and still does not except when displaying from the HTPC...

I wasn't sure to post this in the HTPC forum or the display forum, this seems more appropriate.... I have a HTPC in one room with hdmi output to the television in the living room. The video card is a Radeon HD 6670. The tv is an older Dynex 42" that has been flawless since I got it maybe five...

this is exactly why i dropped the ps3 controller and went to the xbox controller. i also have a bluetooth keyboard for xbmc, and the motionjoy bluetooth drivers were like a bull in a china shop. almost everyday i would have to uninstall and reinstall bluetooth drivers for both devices. all so i...

Left 4 Dead, old COD games, Lego games maybe

+1 for the Microsoft wireless controller. First, it just works. The PS3 controller, and others, takes some third party programs to get going and can be finicky at best. Past that, I find that my guests are less intimidated by the Microsoft controller since its familiar, so they'll dive right...

Without a doubt Mass Effect 3 for me... the atrocious ending doesn't scrub the other 99.99% of fantastic gameplay.

It's a good change of play from Skyrim and Batman for me. Over the top fantasy, styled like fable, light-hearted and dark at the same time. I'm kicking myself for destroying some Shepard armor early in the game. The feel I get is that this is what Oblivion could have been if the developers got...

My only beef is that the game won't be available through Steam on launch day. Other than that I am extremely excited about this game. I originally played ME1 and ME2 on the consoles but I'm probably only going to play ME3 on the PC. I already grabbed the first two and played through to get my...

I expiremented with ps3 media server for a while and found that the real limitation is your network transfer speed. i found it very hard to stream 1080p content to the ps3, even on a wired connection. after trying this for a while i just ended up using an external drive on the ps3 instead of...

It is exactly the turd that everyone is making it out to be. The high hopes certainly did not help the impression of the game. I found a way to enjoy it enough to make four or five characters up to level 20, but there are glaring issues that keep me from coming back. The graphics are horrible on...

This statement sums up the entire game. I feel the same way. On one hand they implemented some pretty cool things, but they failed in making a good game with replay value. Add to that the glacial pace at which the updates came out and quite a few people are upset with Splash Damage. I still...

All these analogies are unnecessary. The situation itself is simple enough. These guys are misguided with their attacks on Sony. No one is really disputing that Sony wronged us. Its that the retaliation was not well thought out. We would probably all support attacking Sony if the attacks hurt...

I agree. They should have protected that data. But leaving something unprotected does not give a person a right to steal it. Nor does it give a person a right to profit from the stolen information. Nor does it wash the hands of the person who stole it. There is no proviso anywhere that states...

In a word, no. I care that hackers would steal that info, sell it, then claim it is somehow Sony's fault that it was stolen. Could they have protected that information better? Yes. But I don't see it written anywhere that all unsecure information must be stolen as a means to protect it. If...
