One of the nice bonuses of the new TV is I now once again have a working S-Video jack, and can plug my computer straight into the TV (It also has a VGA port, but I don't have a male to male VGA cable). Because of this, and the fact that the set isn't coming out until March 25th, I downloaded the second half of season 3 of Battlestar Galactica. Just ( Read more... )

Bass Pedal for Rock Band just snapped. Seems like I've covered all the Rock Band technical difficulties now. Awesome. Looks pretty on the new TV though.

Hard mode is now complete, save for one of the bonus DLC songs (Blackened, by Metallica). I still need to go back and polish some ( Read more... )

First production stills of the Watchmen movie are up on various sites. I personally found them on Ain't It Cool. While I still don't know how the hell you're supposed to adapt that beast into one two hour film, the sets look really freaking good.

So there's a very famous performance moment by the Who during the end of Won't Get Fooled Again wherein during Roger's famous scream, there's a slow motion shot of Pete Townshend doing a running jump into a knee slide right towards the camera on the side of the stage.
