COD2 Life Size

[Yourself]

Was screwing around because my son was having a Guild Wars party.

So, I hooked up one of my machines to my TV (1280 x 720).

Amazing!

I ended up looking at the picture so much, I kept getting killed!

But, I'm going to try to upload a couple of pictures......this digital camera doesn't take the greatest of pictures, but take it from me the game is stunning!

This is my youngest kneeling in front of the TV (he's a 6-footer).

What a blast....too bad I can't leave it that way (wife is out of town).

Oh...and for those who think the XBOX 360's graphics are so good, I'm getting 88 fps at that res...the XBOX struggles to maintain 30 fps. The 1280 x 720 res is classified as 720p.....what the XBOX puts out. It relies on the tv internal controllers to upsize to 1080i.

/rant (sorry...been reading lots of articles about fanboi's arguing the graphics on the XBOX 360 is soooo far ahead of the pc's......this is on an x800xl card, which is two generations ago).

Wow! Looks great! The best thing that I have found about the xbox360 is that it allows me to network my somewhat vast music collection to my upper end(ish) home stereo, AND, more importantly, helps to keep my sons from stealing all my computer time. :icon_biggrin:

Unfortunately, mmorpg's don't run on consoles.....

WOW and Guild Wars, specifically.

Also, pretty tough to have gaming parties on consoles......tough to play an FPS when everyone shares the same screen.

You're right about the music sharing.......

IIRC, there's a way to host music on your PC (and streaming video, such as movies) so the XBOX can play them.

That way, you have more storage space available than the XBOX hard drive.

No, I stream the music, photos and video from my PC to the 360. No hard drive use at all! Over 6000 songs at my fingertips.

[Yourself]

cool.....

Need some more?

One of the guys was hosting a music server at work several years ago.....

Was let go for it...but *cough* somehow the contents of the hard drive ended up on mine at home (among others).

Darndest thing.......don't rightly know what happened
