There is something to be said for consolidating remote controls, especially for those with more complicated home theatres. Having said that, this remote doesn't do much for that anyway.

Based on the gist of the comments in this thread sadly I now have a slightly better understanding of why the divorce rate is so high today.

Yeah BF4 and a few racing games immediately come to mind when thinking about games that scale decently with FOV. By and large in most games the FOV implementation is...rough. Tools like widescreenfixer and flawlesswidescreen can often help to mitigate the problems caused by surround gaming, but it rarely eliminates

You kind of get used to it eventually and learn not to focus directly on the peripheral monitors too much.

Even with proper FOV settings I highly doubt that the fisheye effect could be completely overcome. I have seen very few games that actually implement FOV properly.

In screenshots you see the whole seamless image, but while playing the output is spanned across three monitors using Nvidia Surround.

It seems to me that the obvious solution to stopping people from cheating in games would be for developers to just stop making games in the first place.

Not to be a jerk, but if you want to assure victory in Goldeneye and you use a gun you are doing it wrong.

In theory this is exactly how it works. In reality you can sometimes issue commands to another person's xbox over XBL. It's not reliable but you can occasionally get it to work.

I have to agree with Esoterick...in all of these years I have yet to listen to an all in one gaming headset that I would consider to be audiophile quality. You can get cans with either superior audio quality or a superior mic, but never both.

Priceless!

Agreed, but it's not always about cost...particularly when we're talking about gaming rigs that are meant to travel. I stand behind my belief that gaming on a laptop is perfectly viable...and by some measures superior.

I certainly wouldn't call it a "fact"...it depends on the laptop. On a general purpose machine it may be hit or miss. On a machine designed for the task the experience can be surprisingly pleasant.

Did I miss something? What is so humorous about gaming on a laptop?

500W actually isn't too far off the mark, but it's cutting the margin for overhead pretty thin. I certainly wouldn't attempt any overclocking on this rig.

lol I didn't think it would make much difference either, but it does. Unfortunately USB 3.0 can't be reliably extended past about 15 ft.

The conventional thinking is that the signal is degrading beyond the point of usefulness over any extended distance. It's the same issue that people run into with HDMI when using longer wires. The solution would typically be to use a signal repeater/active cable.....but there is no repeater available. If you try to

I originally looked into this (I'm not afraid of a little solder and heatshrink) but it has been tried by several people and shown not to work.

The wire for Kinect is too short at 9 feet. In order to put kinect anywhere near the front of my theater room I would need at least a 30 foot extension cable...which is not currently being made by anyone on the planet. I literally don't have enough wire to put the Kinect in front of me. Judging by a quick Google

Unfortunately not all of us have the ability to utilize Kinect.
