Dave, I don't know if it was just me, but when Dave sang that song he completely sounded like tenacious d, ....off tune , but still like tenacious d,

I vote he sings on every episode, or at least once in a while, that was awesome of him to do

You snooze you lose!

Maybe we should hold a poll to see who we would like to see on Sarcastic Gamer? I reckon we bring back Calyber!

More SGer's on the podcast would be good also. I nominate myself. Do I have any support?

Have fun with whatever you're doing that's more important than Sarcastic Gamer, Alex!

Yes! I'd really like to hear the forum members on the podcast. Especially DemonicDerek and ReGGsRoom :D

Being a bit of a home theater hobbyist, I can make an educated guess as to why the Full RGB isn't enabled by default. Based on my research, this 'turns on' the xvYCC capabilities of the box (not the Deep Color as some have speculated). If your TV doesn't support xvYCC you will, at worst, get no picture at all (which would make it very difficult to change the settings) or at best get a sub-par picture with crushed blacks and loss of detail (see this thread (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=967106) for more info).

Bottom line, giving out the general advice to "set RGB to Full" is doing a disservice. You will only gain benefit from doing so if your TV supports it, and for your TV to support it you would have to have purchased in the last few months. When I was shopping for a new HDTV three months ago the vast majority of them were still supporting HDMI 1.2. Mitsubishi, Pioneer, and Sony (the XBR series) were among the few supporting 1.3 at the time, and then only in their latest sets (some of which weren't even widely available at the time).

P.S. If your TV supports it and you set RGB to Full, you should probably recalibrate your set (you did calibrate it in the first place, right?). If you don't want to pay the ~$400 for a professional calibration you can do it yourself with something like Avia (http://www.ovationmultimedia.com/avia.html) or Digital Video Essentials (http://www.videoessentials.com/DVE_HDBasics.php).

Great show as always guys.
Supa, sorry to hear your leaving as a regular on the podcast.
Now I can move in and it'll be 2 guys from Texas and 2 guys from ChiTown :D

Hey Lono, thanks for giving my friend MartinBlank2007 a shout out/thank you for his iTunes review. I've recently got him hooked on the show even though I've been telling him to listen for 6 months. When will people learn to listen to the Dali Lama?? :)

I thought it was just me. He was channelling Jables there, just not doing a great job of it :rolleyes:. I have to admit, though, I laughed my ass off during the entire thing.
'Twas a wonderful show guys, I'm excited about the Humpday Update, and I'm looking forward to where Sarcastic Gamer goes in the future. Here's hoping for a wile ride.

As for Mr. Alex 'SupaSlick' - I hope work doesn't suck too much for ya, buddy. I'm sure your job is WAAY more important than mine, but we're just starting to head into our busy season - so I feel what you're going through. If you ever need to shake off a hard day's work by shooting some people in the face, you know where to find us :D.

Wow. The news in Florida better be good! Hope you don't go far from the forums. (Hope his replacement is better at taking out shows...:D)

So Dave's got a crush on that GH chick. I thought he was the best in moving his hand down a stick?

Can't wait for the "Humpday Updates". That makes it 2 shows! That's more then Major Nelson's. A course his is longer then these two combine but still, 2!!!

And boy that anti bell is creepy it sounds like something from the omen.

Doc, you're wrong about Brawl. I met someone who works for Nintendo, and he said that they're just tweaking the WiFi and ironing out the kinks to make sure it runs smoothly. They're doing what Microsoft didn't: anticipating a server overload. That's all that's going on; it'll make the release date...

It's a hilariously crappy site I found called pokeplushies. You adopt a "pokeball" or whatever and then it "hatches" on a certain date. I changed it so it's not as cluttered with two pictures.

More SGer's on the podcast would be good also. I nominate myself. Do I have any support?
...No. :D That's a good idea, though. I vote we vote to consider a nomination for forum members we'd like to see on at least one episode.

Agreed.
That'd be a great idea for them.
But it'll probably have to stay within the USA due to if it goes to the united kingdom etc. its going to cost a hell of a lot for the 30 minute phone call.

Ploogle
01-21-2008, 06:57 PM
Yeah, it would...although what about cell phones? Do those cost more to call out of country?

You could always try and get a computer mic set up...

Cell phones would be even more. And I mean ALOT more.

The computer mic way might work, but the audio quality could be pretty crappy.

Ploogle
01-21-2008, 07:09 PM
Yeah, you'd probably have to limit it to the US...

...ah well. I'm not in Europe, so I can't really say that I care much! :D

What you do on your own time is just fine, we just never want to know... So, for the sanity of everyone here, do not elaborate on that subject.

Great show guys and I'm definitely looking forward to tomorrow ;).

I also wish Alex good luck with whatever it is he has to do in the upcoming months.

I just listened to it again (I forgot what the anti-bell was called, now I will never forget). And I've gotta ask, Lono - were you about to say my name when you were cut off? Then Chewy was mentioned. Haha. I'm not as egotistical as our Evil friend here, but that's going to bug me if I don't find out.
