Morning Discussion
by Chris Faylor, Oct 14, 2008 6:41am PDTHey hey hey, welcome to Tuesday. This means two things.
First, those in North America should be able to find Dead Space in stores tomorrow. I think it's worth a look, as I came away impressed, and a little scared.
Second, we're one day closer to Friday, which, coincidentally, is when my Xbox 360 comes back from ye olde repair shop. Come home soon darling, I miss you :(
Oh, and if you're one of those Diablo fans, you pretty much need to check out the mind-boggling display of Diablo 3 information that Nick has compiled in his Diablo 3: What We Know So Far preview.

This is ridiculous, I've spent like an hour now trying to find either a 60gb or 80gb (software bc) system for around $350-400 and they're only available from shady-looking online stores or jackasses on Ebay charging like $500-$600.
Fuck you Sony.

How many of you folks are getting it? For those that don't know it has ex-lucasarts folks working on it and the presentation values are top notch if the screenshots are to be believed.
If you don't buy adventure games anymore I implore you to at least get this and Gray Matter. Show the developers that yes - we DO still want these types of games, so long as they are good and have effort put into them. We have so much mediocre pieces of shit being sold under this genre the last few years, it's nice to see Telltale and the other little guys standing up and releasing AAA games.
So in short - buy it damnit. I don't want to see games that look this good go down the crapper after years of work. It would say a lot for the genre and PC gaming if they did. :(

Has anyone been able to pick this up today yet? Specifically, anyone in Canada? I am wondering if I should bother looking today or just wait until tomorrow.

My new 50" plasma HDTV just arrived this morning. I have a single HDMI cable running from my PS3 to HDMI port 1 on my TV, but when I try to select that channel, it says the "source is not connected."
WTF? :( I've tried other ports but the same thing occurs. All the HDMI channels are grayed out. I'm at a loss.
Help?

Here's a repost for the day crew:
I'm part of a chase crew for a local hot air balloon team, and last week was the International Balloon Fiesta here in Albuquerque. I took a metric crap-load of pictures, and have put some of them up on Flickr. It's impossible to relate through only a few pictures the enormous scale of 600+ balloons taking off from the same place, but I thought I'd try... and some of the pictures came out decent (especially when you consider that I am a photography n00b).
Enjoy! http://www.flickr.com/photos/25573210@N07/sets/72157608004508935/

So far I am playing Battlefield Bad Company, Lego Indy, and some Hexic puzzle game or something. I like Bad Company a lot but missing my mouse. Does it get easier to use a controller for FPS games? Any tips, or sensitivity setting suggestions?
I let it suggest a gamer tag for me and once it suggested DesperateBook I had to go with that. My wife and I couldn't stop laughing. Any friends would be welcome :)
Other question, what marketplace games should I look at? Is Braid awesome?

i am trying to explain how to input data into an RSS feed and then submit it to itunes. i always did this by hand in my own RSS feed. what website/RSS feed/whatever can i send to this person so that he can fill out the RSS feed data, upload it to his site, and submit to itunes?
i'm explaining it but not clearly and he doesn't know what to do. give me a really good and simple website where instructions and the RSS feed sample is so he can put his own data in!
Anyone out there use a service for doing prints of their photos?
I think I'm going to have a few to do in the near future and while my printer might be able to handle it I'd rather try using a professional service (as long as it's not outrageously expensive).
I believe Shutterfly is one. Are they any good? Other suggestions?

But, here I am again complaining now about Call of Duty 4 on Steam. Still full price after almost a year AND it has a sequal coming out soon. I don't understand. Why do prices take longer to drop on Steam? I could have gotten it months ago in retail for $20. And that is a huge temptation, but quite frankly, I am sick of switching out DVDs and I love the idea of having my games with me anywhere I have Internet (basically, everywhere).
Do they want me to buy it on retail? Maybe Civ4 is more deserving of my money. At least I'd get more gameplay hours (I think).
