This current one is fine for 2 or 3 hours then I get a 4 inch thick black line through the middle of the screen, have to turn off the tv for 10 minutes and then it's good for half an hour, rinse and repeat.
Doesn't happen watching tv either.

What he said.
I mean I could get wireless wifi but there is no cost benefit, better just paying Telstra the $300 or what ever it was, oh and the fucking the technician will be there between 8am and 7pm Tuesday bs
Sorry man, didn't realise how much things have changed in Chateau de Tyson.
Might need to have your loser nomad friend stay at your place for a bit again soon.
So, I feel like a fuckwit. I was literally thirty seconds away from the exit in "FALLOUT 3". Grabbed the dish, screen-capped the view, rocked on like a boss. Did that a few nights ago.
This game is amazing.

Bioshock: Infinite is a little too linear for my tastes, plus I never really had a hardon for FPS's anyway. It's not bad but it's way too simple.
Meh only sunk a few hours into it anyway, will keep at it.
Also switching from SD to HD is like upgrading my 360 without doing anything, it's glorious.

Hella. Going from 360 to PC back a few years ago made me weep. It's insane.
Truth be told, I plugged my 360 via an adapter into my CRT monitor for love back about 7 years ago. Shit was amazing then.
I think once I get back to Korea I'll just balls it and go 4k.
And a PS4, because reasons.

I don't know if I'm getting that gaming PC, well I am but not for at least a year.
Reason?
So many games from the 360 I still have to play and I'm getting a PS3 for their exclusives and the fact it's a $120 blu-ray player.
I'm happy with the graphics right now, but next gen, no thanks.
They release Tiger Woods golf on pc right?

Not sure.
There's an entire enclave of people like you. I'm kind of the same. 360 and PS3 have so much life in them. until the Rift hits it, I'm holding back. I want FULL losing myself in a new world.
I'm basically waiting for the next Elder Scrolls on either Rift or whatevs Sony calls theirs.
So owned.

I kinda want to play Kingdoms Of Amalur again. Maybe respec from a rogue-mage class to a warrior-mage class.
Dragon's Dogma also sounds good.

Is it weird that I absolutely refuse to wear robes in RPGs? I fucking hate them.

Mount & Blade: Warband. Much underrated game. Some of the best medieval combat in any game out there.
Note: mileage will vary for those who demand amazing graphics.
Update: I got Rocketbirds: Hard Boiled Chicken. Nope, I've never heard of it either. Apparently it retails at $10 so I guess I got a bargain (provided the game is any good).

I want to give a big FUCK YOU to Bioshock infinite and your fucking lack of save function. I haven't got time to sit for 3+ hours in one sitting just to get to the next chapter, you've done it to me twice now, I sink 2+ hours of gameplay thinking I've reached the next checkpoint and I come back and I'm back at the fucking START OF THE CHAPTER
You're going back into the pile of unfinished games.

Holy fuck, serious? Thanks for the warning. I absolutely cannot play games like that.
All games should have a manual save option, even if it's just a save and quit. I hate quitting a game and not being sure where I'd be when I reloaded.
Though it's been awhile since I've played a game with really terrible checkpointing like that.

Bethesda games are fucking awesome like that: Save literally whenever you want, at any time. I saved during a fight once, just to see if it would work.
Yep.

That's wierd, I don't remember having any issues with save games when I played Bioshock Infinite on my PC. And the check points seemed pretty regular, certianly not hours apart, maybe 10 minutes max.
That said, I agree that most games should have manual save features.

Oh it autosaves, but turning the game off before a major check point and you're back at the beginning.

Well here are all the chapters
1. The Lighthouse My debts were many. My options were few.
2. Welcome Center All I had were questions. But questions get you killed.
3. Raffle Square
4. Comstock Center Rooftops They had my scent. If I didnt get the girl soon, this whole job would be scotched.
5. Monument Island Gateway Comstock knew I was coming. Who told him? Them that sent me here? If so, whats their real game?
6. Monument Tower It didnt seem like a place to hold a young girlWhat were these people so afraid of?
7. Battleship Bay Ive been told to tell the girl whatever she wants to hear, so long as she comes along.
8. Soldiers Field They think the girl as something out of prophecy. Folksll die for their beliefs. Or kill.
9. The Hall of Heroes Slate. Mans always been half a fool, half a hero. Never could tell which side was more dangerous.
10. Inside the Hall of Heroes
11. Hall of Heroes Gift Shop
12. Return to the Hall of Heroes Plaza
13. Finkton Docks Turns out, the girls no fool. And Id prefer not to fall on the wrong side of her temper.
14. Beggars Wharf
15. Fort Franklin Pier
16. Worker Induction Center
17. The Plaza of Zeal I dont trust Fitzroy to honor our deal. Rich, poor a welshers a welsher.
18. The Good Time Club
19. The Plaza of Zeal
20. The Gunsmith Shop Hard to believe a Chinaman like Chen Lin could come to own his own shop. Man must have friends.
21. Shantytown -Elizabeths got real feeling for the folks of Shantytown. Feelings like enough to get her killed.
22. The Bull House Impound The Bull House reminded me of the Pinkerton offices. Hard looking building, hard looking men.
23. The Bull Yard
24. Finkton Proper
25. On to the Factory Fitzroys looking for blood. One things for sureFink and her wont both be seeing the sunrise.
26. The Factory Courtyard
27. The Factory
28. Emporia The Bird and Elizabeth have some sort of connection. If I could put him down, would she let me?
29. Port Prosperity
30. Downtown Emporia Maybe the girl thought putting down Fitzroy would end it. But theres more where she came from.
31. Memorial Gardens
32. Comstock House Theres a debt I owe the girl, and if it means paying her and not the man in New York so be it.
33. The Atrium
34. Wardens Office
35. The Operating Theater
36. The Hand of the Prophet Comstock did more than torture her. Hes turning intointo him. Thats not going to happen.
37. Hangar Deck
38. Engineering Deck
39. Command Deck
40. The Sea of Doors
Last time I played I was at
32. Comstock House Theres a debt I owe the girl, and if it means paying her and not the man in New York so be it.
So I assumed I was okay to turn off the box, but nope, loaded my game and I was back at
28. Emporia The Bird and Elizabeth have some sort of connection. If I could put him down, would she let me?
Maybe because I don't update my games and there was an initial flaw?
