CRT vs modern LCD: Taking a look back

If you can deal with their physical drawbacks, crt still wins in responsiveness and they are still up there in image quality. At least the ones that I have the Sony GDM FW900. I'm keeping mines until we get some nice affordable OLEDS.

Fallout - prior games necessary to enjoy later games?

You don't need to play any of the prior Fallout's to play F4. That said, F4 is probably the weakest in the main series.

Recommend a video camera

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked them and they seem to be just what I am looking for but I want to do some more research before i commit to buying. Because I want to try to get as close as possible to record what my eyes see in person and not what the capture card records. I agree for...

Recommend a video camera

Hello, I am a total noob when it comes to video and photography. I want to get a decent camera to record my games playing on crt monitors and upload them to youtube. What would be a good place to start? My budget is $500. Thanks.

Nintendo DX GPU?

The thing is cartridges are more expensive to mass produce vs blue ray (I am not 100% sure, someone please correct me if i'm wrong). I just don't see them going with the more expensive medium. As much as I would love to see some of return of something similar to cartridges, I just don't see them...

Nintendo DX GPU?

A couple of things if I may chime in. There hasn't been much talk about the form of medium these games will come in. It was my understanding that Wii U uses some sort of proprietary optical drive. But those are limited to only 25gb. With game sizes getting astronomically larger, what would make...

Genesis or Super Nintendo?

Wow so much SNES love. I will admit that I grew up with the Genesis and have some bias towards it. Now that i'm revisiting both of these consoles, I have realized that both systems do have a large library of good games and it's much closer than you people realize. I would still give the nod to...

How do Playstation 1 games look on an HDTV?

It would most likely look a bit blurry. To get the most out of a PS1 on an HDTV you will need an upscaler device like the XRGB Mini which cost around $350. Then you will also need a SCART cable to make sure the system can output at its highest quality. I have the mini myself hooked up to a...

Retro gaming

Now thats a bargain! Especially considering how much some of those games fetch nowadays. And Ducktales NES is truly one of the best games for that system.

Your All Time Favorite Boss/Boss Fight? (Spoilers)

Sigma from Megaman X. Awesome song that was really tense, 3 different forms, and was very challenging. Seven force from Gunstar heroes was really fun because it had 7 diferent forms. Not the most challenging of bosses but still awesome. Also the music was hectic. Red from Pokemon HGSS...
