Having some fucking problems with S-Video Out and my radeon 8500 in my second computer. I've got my 2nd computer plugged into a monitor, and the s-video out going to a TV. I just confirmed that the cable and TV both work by using s-video out from my primary comp and it works just fine. However, on my second comp, when I go into the radeon display properties thing and try to enable the 2nd display, the monitor flickers to black, flickers black and the 2nd display is still disabled. Nothing happens on the TV. Thoughts?

Greetings Shack News

My belated Christmas present to you is a smidge sample of my NES Megamix

~40 minutes of pure 8-bit Nintendo Ultra-Hardcore Colon-Tearing Anal Rape Hiroshima-Bombing-Recreation Music. Featuring music from games such as Double Dragon, Battletoads, The Megaman Series, Kid Icarus, Zelda, Metal Gear, Castlevania, and More

The megamix will of course be free but it will be availible on CD for free as well if you go to the BYOC in Quakecon (where I will be shamelessly promoting my terrible music ) Thanks UGH

My new internets creation:

www.isitafruit.com

I got bored the other day and couldn't remember if a tomato was a fruit or a vegetable, so I made this site to help other people.

There are a few foods that are missing and I'm working on adding them (i.e. watermelon). I basically just found lists online, but they apparently weren't very complete. Oh well. I'm still kinda working on it, but it's kinda neat.

ATTN Wii SEEKING MENZ:

re:http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=13525176

Over the past 36 hours I have managed to put together what I consider to be a comprehensive list of Wii finding tools. Using them I've put together my own personal Wii monitoring station. I've got two different websites SMSing my cellphone when they think Wiis are on sale (for wireless monitoring) and throughout my house I have coloful Wii in-stock monitor screens displayed on different computers. Today I begin stalking the stores for returns. I only hope my backup plan for when/if I get an SMS when I'm out of the house works.

So if you have more websites, forums, strategies, etc to share please link them. But if not, atleast you can find mine in reply...

I've just been checking out all the Played podcasts that i havn't heard (all of them since Ep 1) and holy shit, this is some entertaining stuff. Definately the best gaming related podcast i've heard.

Thought i'd just give a shout out to Mark, Chris and Elizabeth for the awesome podcasting their all doing. Pretty enjoyable just loading them all into a playlist and letting them run in the background while i'm doing some work or surfing the interwebs.

You just need to get GeorgeB3DR to say atleast SOMETHING for the Duke Forever segment.

after a day with both, playing through them on medium, i gotta say guitar hero 1 has better songs than guitar hero 2. i was kind of hoping there'd be more elvis or chuck berry style older stuff. that would be wicked fun.

though the reverend horton heat tune on GH2 is for the maximum win, seriously. it was an ok song to begin with, but the frantic pace in the game is awesome.

and the co-op with two guitars is great.

Wii component cable menz

OK, this will seem pretty ridiculous but for all my computer and tech / networking knowledge I know jack about televisions. I have an older television set but not ancient by any means, purchased brand new last year (discount TV model). It has the red, yellow, and white prongs on the back as well as an S-Video connection.

Will the Wii component cables work with this kind of TV and provide a video quality increase? Worth getting them? I have to finish FF 12 before starting on Zelda but want to be ready for it to enjoy it in the fullest when that time comes. :) My fiancee and I are huge Zelda fans!

As an owner of all three consoles I've been thinking about their relative strengths and weaknesses lately and the following occured to me:

It's well established that the PS3 has numerous flaws which it will probably eventually overcome (high price, scaler issues, backwards compat issues, some complaints about the system memory structure, no IR port for universal remotes, no rumble, non user-replaceable controller batteries, etc.) and the Wii has some drawbacks too (no digital sound, no 720p/1080i, silly friend code system, no HD, limited horsepower, can't play DVDs, etc.)

Do you think the 360 has any obvious hardware flaws like these? Ignoring unit failure, I just mean in terms of basic design my only real complaint is I think the hard drive should be bigger. Aside from that, I really think MS hit it out of the park in terms of console design this time around. Seems like all they need to do is keep garnering major 3rd party support and expand their genre base/make inroads in Japan.

I know this a totally unfair comparison, but after Gears of War and Rainbow Six: Vegas, F.E.A.R. feels nearly prehistoric with with its graphics and lack of cover system. I got it for Xmas for the 360, but it isnt grabbing me like I thought it would. It's not bad, and I want to see the story, and Im a lil bit of a Monolith fanboy so I'll keep playing.

Fuck this makes me angry and sad :( Reading Eurogamer top 50 games of 2006 and I see Company of Heroes is only at 37. I'm thinking WTF and then I read the comments:

Kieron: The choice was between a one word entry along the line of "BASTARDS!!?!?!" and an essay. I'm going to try and walk a line between them.

Put it like this: Only reason this isn't top five is because I'm the only guy who voted for the charts who actually played the bastard thing. This is as good as a RTS has got in the time I've been a full-time games journalist. In fact, in terms of a quiet re-imagining of what the mainstream RTS could be, the only comparison which comes to mind is something outside of the genre: Half-life. It's the Half-life of RTS. And like Half-Life, for the next year-and-a-half every game in the genre is going to be looking a little old and passÃƒÂ© because it hasn't caught up intellectually with the leap that Relic managed with this. The only sad thing is that because it wasn't quite the sales success it clearly should have been - more than anything else, I suspect the relative antipathy around it outside of genre-hardcore is at least partially to blame for WW2 burn-out - means that maybe rather than opening a new chapter in what RTS games could be (like Half-Life did the FPS), it'll rather be sidelined and ignored. And we'll all be poorer for it.

To choose games that are clearly going to turn up higher in the list, it's better than Oblivion, it's more innovative than Zelda, it's more violent and beautiful than Gears of War and it's eight hundred times the game than Final Dicking Dipshit Fantasy XII is.

Don't let this game fade in to obscurity D: It's too god damn awesome. Everyone sort of shrugs and says "oh but Supreme Commander is coming next year!!!!11". Fuck Supreme Commander. I'm bored of the beta already. Company of Heroes is easily the best PC game this year. For my money it's the best game on any platform this year. I've played the shit out of it (over 320 hours so far) like I have no other game since Half-Life with its thriving mod community. Play. This. Game. Even if you don't like RTS games. Online too motherfuckers.

Painting the 360 faceplate is a lot easier than painting a PC case let me tell you. I've done the 2 tone yellow base already (in the space of 20 mins). I'll probably do the black stripe tomorrow night. Then I have to glue it al back together and do the decals and the blood splatter and I'm done. All up it should only take me less than a week as opposed to the month (more off than on) it took me for the case. It also helps if you use nice expensive model paint too.

So far

SupCom owns my face. Here's pix!

These were taken right as the game ended:

This right here shows my experimental unit, called the Fatboy, rolling towards or enemies base
http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9477/fatboyil1.jpg
the fatboy is basically a gigantic tank with 4 battleship cannons on it that has its own force field. it can also create untis (its a mobile factory) and has a landing pad to repair and refuel planes. Mostly though, its a bad motherfucking siege tank

This is what remains after we had our way with one of our enemies' bases...
http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/8670/craterfv0.jpg
the big as crater in the middle is where his commander used to be. in the distance you can see us moving on to his ally, and you can even spot my ally's t4 spiderbot marching in for extra lol

here is us marching on the remaining enemy's base. he has no chance to survive
http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/4964/thegiveruf2.jpg

this is what its like on the receiving end of our hax:

Anyone post the new Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings (spin off of FFXII for the DS that looks like it features real time (!) battles) trailer yet?

http://61.195.57.11/ff12rw/ff12rw_jf2007_large.html

The DS is the little handheld that could.
Very impressed at how much Square-Enix is squeezing out of it.

So I finally tried a Wii last night.
Pretty cool stuff. I tried Raving Rabbids or whatever it's called, just a few mini games. I found it funny to bonk rabbits over the head. Cool mini-game type of game. I wanted to try Wii sports but my neighbor was insistant on playing Rabbids. It's his after all.

Overall impression: I liked it.

Hey shack,

How do you live? I took a look at my bank history, and I realized that living like a college student I spend around $23,000 a year (this includes everything from rent to tuition to going out to dinner). What does it cost to be you?
