12/15   Anyone have opinions on media streamers that connect to your tv and
        let you play all those bittorrented movies?  I'm getting sick of
        my xbox refusing to play every other video.
        \_ My current solution is an old pc with a cheap video card, using
           Synergy on my laptop.  This plus every episode of MST3K has provided
           much entertainment.
        \_ the leet hacker types use mythtv.  http://www.mythtv.org
         \_ The goal is to have a dedicated box.  A full computer is such
            a waste of electricy, and if I want it to be quiet it costs far
            too much.

12/3    So my little sister is asking for an Xbox 360 for Christmas. I
        sked her if she meant the new Kinect controller one and she said
        no, just the regular controllers. What exactly is she asking for
        here? -not really a gaming geek anymore
        \_ She's asking for an Xbox 360. Is there anything complicated about
           that? Don't bother getting the Kinect, but ideally don't go cheapo

        "[blojo] should be able to make game developing a full-time gig."
        What else does he do with his time? This sounds like really crappy
        journalism. Now we just need an iPhone release and he can retire.
   \_ Making a living writing console games by yourself is a huge
      accomplishment these days.  Most games are made by giving a huge

2/20    Has anyone played Braid?
        \_ My roommate the vid game progrmamer loves it, and worships
           blojo for being the one independent game developer in the world
           who appears to be doing ok.
        \_ I've played the demo on Xbox.  I enjoyed it, and will probably buy
           it when I have more time to play it.  Actually, the only reason

10/31   If you like survival horror and Sci Fi, you owe it to yourself to play
        Dead Space.  Awesome game.  (Only drawback is non-skippable death
        animations, but at least those are all pretty amazing.)
        \_ xbox 360 or pc?
           \_ I played it on PC.  Played through in a single sitting (about 20
              hours).

10/12   Any recommedations on budget Xbox 360 games?  Here's mine:
        Crackdown is a lot of fun for $15 at Gamestop.
        I can get Sneak King for $1, is that worth it?

8/5     Hey blojo got a game up on xbox live:
        http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/b/braidxboxlivearcade/default.htm
        Guess he finally finished something!!!
        \_ Braid looks beautiful. I hope they port it to other platforms.
        \_ It totally sucks that, while the game costs 15 dollars, you can
           have to spend 25 dollars to buy enough points to buy the damn

5/28    I got an Xbox 360 a while back, and I didn't have a system last
        generation, so I've been buying old Xbox games from the bargain bin.
        Does anyone have any recommendations?  At $4 a pop, it doesn't have to
        be amazing.
        \_ At $4 per 1/2 box, you can shoot a bunch of 9mm's from
           a nice Beretta and have more fun than being a geek.

10/16   Are standard poodles smarter than George W Bush?
        \_ Yes because they're not as stubborn and bullheaded as GWB.
        \_ Why the obsession with smart dogs?  They're harder to train and
           get bored easily.  Bored dogs destroy stuff.
           \_ Actually, I have experiences with both smart and dumb dogs
              (poodle, beagle, dachshund, yorkies) and the smarter they

Wiki MythTV MythTV is a homebrew PVR project that I've been working on in my spare time. It's been under heavy development since April 2002, and is now quite useable and featureful. Notably: autodiscovery (less manual configuration of new frontends), storage groups (no need for LVM/etc), support for multiple recordings on one DVB/ATSC multiplex, a couple new plugins, some new deinterlacing/video display options, and many, many other things. this mailing list posting from Bruce for a short set of instructions - but it mainly just boils down to running mythtv-setup, changing the existing listings grabber to Schedules Direct, and putting in your new username + password (assuming you kept the same lineup config as on the old Labs website). I'm not sure how many of you were around during the bad old days of having to screen scrape to get listings data, but it was decidedly not fun. Constantly upgrading XMLTV to deal with website changes, etc. So, really, I don't think paying a little bit for a stable source of good, complete data is unreasonable. This was the best alternative we developers could come up with, given the lack of options available to us, but I realize that not everyone will agree. SD is a non-profit org run by open source/free software developers for the benefit of the users - not out to make money on this stuff - and the monthly/yearly price of membership will be lowered to meet costs. But, how much the price goes down initially will really depend on how many users sign up during these first months. this ticket in trac for more information on the current status of the SWF player, and join in the discussion on the mythtv-dev mailing list to talk about website related stuff.
