That screen costs $419 in the states and €750 in Germany. Fail

Edit: I guess a screen from Samsung (26"!) makes a lot more sense http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0017H9 ... i100015-21

Ah yeah... forgot about the whole currency conversion factor

Funny though, that samsung was the monitor I was going to buy instead of the dell, but I got the dell instead because it had a better warranty/return policy on stuck/dead pixels.

I got Uncharted with my PS3 but never played it until I saw the Uncharted 2 demo at the Sony Conference. Started playing the first one (about half-way through it) and it's spectacular. Sure, I could nit-pick it, but any flaws it has are well made up for by the rest of the game. I'll definitely be picking up Uncharted 2 and I'm hella looking forward to it.

I use this as my desktop (DVI), 360 (VGA), PS3 (HDMI), and PS2 (Composite) screen. Great and versatile for the price. In fact, now that my secondary monitor (samsung) just got a row of dead pixels about 1/3rd of the way down the screen, I'm tempted to pick up a second one to replace it). There's cheaper models with the same setup, but less input options (my setup still has an unused DVI, S-video, and Component inputs), so if you don't plan on adding any more consoles and keep it just your PC and your 360, you could settle for a cheaper/larger model that only has the connections you need.

From the E3 thread:

MAG looks very meh. BF2 with 256 players. And BF2 was very meh.

Because I'm such a Splinter Cell fanboy, I shat bricks over the new direction that Conviction took, unleashing the bad ass in Sam Fisher that's been dormant for five games. I'm hella excited for it.

Not sure what to think of Natal. How can you do proper mocap with one camera? Did you see how much the 360 avatar freaked out whenever he made the slightest movement? His arm must have dislocated in about 30 different places.

I'm not inclined to believe anything Peter Molenux says. He has a nice habit of being unable to put his money where his mouth is. I'm not excited for anything he has to say because until I actually sit down and play it, he's full of shit.

L4D2? Yeah, cool, I guess. I would have been fine with some additional campaigns for the first one, you know the TF2 treatment. Actually, on reflection, I'd be much happier if I saw some EP3 stuff, but then again E3 hasn't even started

EDIT: I gotta agree with Mazy below. Alan Wake looks great, but they really just need to release it and work on something else. Also, the Halo stuff... I literally lol'ed. Does not look entertaining at all. Looks like bungie is just taking the piss. The whole video felt like a sunday school picnic where somebody accidentally knocks over the punch and makes everybody sad because there's no more punch and they have to switch to bottled water and then somebody sparks a fight about how useless bottled water is and then they argue the pros and cons of bottled water, but it ends after somebody realizes that Oprah is on and they all go home.

so TF2 gets mad updates all the time, but L4D gets one update and then a sequel?

It's okay though... It's valve. L4D2 won't be out for another 6 years. Just as long as we get L4D DLC in the interim.

what Mazy said - maybe it would have been better to set up a new ip if they change it from jungles to something different as well.

The alien ship in Crysis was pretty nifty, despite a massive lack of flora.

I would love to see a great 24 game. The PS2 one from a few years back missed the mark. So much potential if can execute right, but that's not necc. an easy task.

I would love to see a great 24 season (post season 5)... but that's neither here nor there...

Dammit, Valve! No more MP stuff. We get it, you can make several award winning MP games and support them well after their release. Well done. Where's EP3 and Portal 2! You leave us on a nice little cliffhanger at the end of EP2, but then instead saying anything about the continuation, you show reruns of "Terrance and Philip: Not Without My Anus" with an extra scene added every 4 months.

Also, to you Ubisoft Montreal boys and girls... Splinter Cell: Conviction... please... I'm begging you.

For those who haven't seen it:

Dark Forces

Also, any game from the old TIE Figher/X-wing series

Always bet on Duke.

"You're not gonna look so good with your face ripped off!"

Your face, your ass - what's the difference?

Win.

as much as I would love to believe that this is all a massive PR stunt... I'm gonna have to go with Occam's Razor on this one.

core i7 with a single gfx card and 4gb ddr3 ram?

I can vouch for this setup. Make that single gfx a 280 GTX and it can handle everything that's thrown at it (so far...)

ok, after reading that epic plot summary, I am genuinely upset that this game is not coming out.

each image tag has a longdesc attribute that is the title of the image.

View the source and search for 'longdesc="

ex: The very first image: longdesc="StudyAnAstroJour13"

This just comes as a full-on shock!

My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. Rest in Peace, buddy. You are already missed.

holy shit! Congrats dude. Fucking spectacular work!

He's really just letting people use his name for marketing purposes. To get a "Tom Clancy's" title on the game, it needs to be approved by him that the game has to be somewhat realistic, at least according to his personal standards, whatever they are. I remember reading an article about how Clancy didn't want to approve his name on Splinter Cell because he thought the tri-googles that Fisher wears were too unrealistic and impossible and it took Ubisoft like a month to convince him otherwise.

Many of the games bearing the Clancy name have been very successful, spawning several sequels and expansions. It is unknown how much input Clancy actually has into the games.

well, I'm sold.

Native Instruments is having a $110 off Guitar Rig 3, so I figured it was time to pick it up.

somebody asked for strippers?

and here's the other image released recently:

Best Logo: Flashlevel

Best Website: Flashlevel

Sorry to whore out Flashlevel, but their stuff is just awesome. They do flash work without it being too flashy, if that makes any sense. Don't get me wrong, I love 2advanced, but Flashlevel is better because they realize that just because they can do most of the over the top stuff that 2a does doesn't mean they should do it every time.
