I got the laptop working with the TV

So far so good. Most things work but some require tweaking and/or compatibility settings

Oh right, the Grammys thing

I would have liked to see QotSA win that one. Don't get me wrong I love me some Led Zep. it just seems silly to award it to a live album of 70's hard rock rather than something current.

 

IMO the Tull thing was much much sillier. Ian Anderson and company don't qualify as hard rock and are about as close to Metal as the Earth is to Neptune. Anderson himself couldn't figure out why they won that one. that's why he stayed home.

The wired controller for PC is actually the same wired controller as the 360 model but it's 10 bucks cheaper (in Canada). They just put it in a different package. LOL

If you have a 360 wireless controller there are actually PC adapters available for less than 20 bucks (in Canada).

That's not even all of my games. I have over 70 just on Steam and I don't even game on PC usually. LOL. 

With all the sales though I'm thinking I'll see if it works for me like this.

Being an IT guy I kinda knew what needed to be done, what I didn't know is where to find it. The graphics on that laptop are Intel integrated (crappy I know) and there is a special tool for messing with it. Once I set the resolution down to 1280 X 720 I still had to screw around with the screen size to get it to fit.

For some reason I thought that picture was blurry but it turned out pretty clear for a quick snapshot off the TV.

The cool thing is that the keyboard is small enough to fit on my lap so if I want to sit back on the couch I can just put a mousepad on the couch and use the mouse from there. :)

Unfortunately the Google music store doesn't work in Canada. :(

I have a few more things to try yet but it shouldn't be this difficult. I can plug in to our HD overhead projectors at work and I don't have to do any messing around. This TV needs to go anyway. The other day I tried the Lightning Returns demo and was wondering wny they did the opening in black and white, then the game started and it was still black and white. I quit the game and low and behold my PS3's home screen was black and white. Restarted the PS3, still the same. Turned off the TV and turned it back on, colour comes back. Stupid TV

Fiend Hunting

Yeah I knew about the fiend hunting but since the odds of finding a fiend are ridiculous I couldn't stand the thought of running around waiting.

Plus if they are anything like the fiends in Nocturne (some were mandatory) I don't want to fight them.
