    Faster is always better. 'Nuff said.

    I use a 32" TV as my main monitor, so I'd love to upgrade from 720p to 4k ^_^ On the other hand, I probably can't afford it, so I don't have a vote to cast. :(

    A. A lot of people do still play Tetris B. Super Mario World is still a lot of fun C. Have you played Goldeneye recently?!?!?! Some games age well, and some do not. I'll play anything I enjoy whether or not it's Crysis beautiful. At the end of the day though, people put a lot of stock in graphics and you're going to gain a much wider audience if your game is beautiful. IMHO "meh" on graphics, but I don't represent the majority on this issue.

    Opinion respected ^_^ We'll each love which ones we love.

    I'm leaning towards the PS4 because I love JRPGs and those aren't plentiful on my lovely PC. If PCs had all the major JRPGs (or even a decent portion), than I would spend all my money on a PC, but as I don't see that happening because of cultural reasons. I'll probably be stuck with a console that I'm buying for a genre.

    I picked up Dead Space when it was on sale recently, and at the very least it has become an AAA game. I love it! If you have passion for the game you're working on, and a sound grasp of developmental philosophy, it's probably going to be good. That principle holds true for AAA and indie. Video games won't continue to grow and be taken seriously without the obscure and innovative, and the AAA (not to say they don't innovate in their own ways). To relate it to a more "mature" (read "old geezer") media: More people saw The Avengers than The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, but I love them both (and for entirely different reasons).

    EA gets a lot of flak from people, but they must be doing something right in order to be making so much money... (heresy I know). I might get something titled "Bothan Spies" and I would probably get "Order 67" I really want a Rogue squadron game that stays true to the books, or a super-hardcore RPG!!

    Nintendo is obviously going for a different business model than Sony or Microsoft, and only time will tell if they're successful. On that note the Wii seemed gimmicky to me until I really sat down and picked up some triple A games (Lego, Zelda, Mario Kart), and then I grew to accept it, even if I didn't love it. To answer the OP's question, it is not time to buy a Wii U. That time will be in a year / year and a half when it has gained momentum. Developers always have trouble developing for a new Nintendo console, because they are generally different that Sony, Microsoft, and especially PC. However there are a lot of developers who rock touch screens (Android / iPhone) so if the big studios hook up with those guys they can put the Wii U through its paces.

    Perhaps the sound seems better to me because I was used to so much less... I have no problem with the ear cup size, but in reply to that: do you have that problem with many headsets? I ask because the top of my head begins to hurt on most headsets after extended gaming sessions (my head is egg-shaped btw). Finally I use it almost exclusively for gaming, but I do love how my music sounds on it, and Hulu comes through well. To add a disclaimer, I'm not looking to pick a fight or anything like that. I do, however, genuinely like my headset and will certainly upgrade to a Turtle Beach whenever I get around to upgrading.

    I liked the concept of a wave of evil or a "dark wave" and 1062 just rolls of the tongue with my accent. btw, it's pronounced dark - wave - one - zero - six - two. but you say it all pressed together in a southern drawl for the full effect!

    So I have a really old stereo that sounds really nice, and I want to connect it to my PC. The traditional wired approach that I've been using doesn't work well because they're on opposite sides of a doorway. Is there anything wireless that will go from my headphone jack on my PC to the red/white AV slots on my stereo?

    I have a Turtle Beach Earforce X12 and I'm absolutely enamored by it. It's pretty cheap and I have no complaints about the mic or speakers.
