hey ilv, i'll be the owner of a panasonic plasma TV next week......any tips or things i should know about with these?
Turn it to movie or cinema mode in the settings... turn sharpness off all the way. Set color tone to warm.

Turn everything off that alters the raw video from the source.... ie things like Digital Noise Reduction (DNR), or anything the TV says will make the picture look better. You want everything to be natural, and without modification.

These are just generic things that apply to all tvs, you may need to scour the menus for specific things that will benfit the picture quality.

Next, you can either buy a calibration disc for $20 like Digital Video Essentials.

or....

There is a free one here, and some pretty good instructions for using it. I think it's an iso image.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP i know to turn all that shit off.

wow, some TVs have that on by default. my parents got a new 55 inch LED, watching a show thinking wow these are some pretty shitty special effects....then umm.. im getting dizzy.

SMOOTHING or whatever was turned on, wow it totally fucked up everything they watched!! why on earth would you have these settings. Hell watching the news would trip you out
with these settings on.

bad bad bad!!!!!!!!!! :screwyouguys

You got lucky to get a plasma since panasonic discontinued them. Now there are no mainstream manufacturers making plasmas. It's sad, because they really do have the best quality.

You can still get a plasma from Samsung, or perhaps the ones coming into the store are the last ones. If I weren't in such a shitty position right now I would spring for the 51" that is there for $468.

Haha...you just described a Counter Run...everyone blocks left, runner takes the ball and a step left then cuts right. They usually have the CB's and Ends close the other side tho, so even tho it looks open, its really not. Especially with the speed of the linebackers these days. Unless you're Barry Sanders. That dude made a career out of cutting back against the grain when it wasn't a designed play. HE was amazing, it's really too bad that Detroit is the worst city in the history or ANYTHING and wasted the career of quite possibly the greatest running back to every play the game.

Running up the middle works if you have the right guy IE Adrian "Im a God umong boys" Peterson.
Barry Sanders was THE best RB of all time, not one of the best. No one can do what he did playing on the worst team of all time.
It's debatable. Sanders was shiftier and more elusive than Payton, but Payton was no slouch in those department, and there are very few players in the history of the game can could handle the abuse and beating he took game in and game out. The Bears 85 offense wasnt that great without him.

A lot of it is in the manner in which he played... Barry Sanders really made it look good. Jukes, spins, stiff arms, and jumps are fun to watch. Take Michael Jordan, one of the reasons he is the greatest of all time, was that he was a huge spectacle to watch. He really broke people on the court, and things like all those game winning buzzer shots, and stuff like that. Now look at Tim Duncan.... He was the poster boy for fundamental basketball, and he was very, very effective. However, he was also so boring to watch which is why he doesn't get that much credit.

hey ilv , it would be worth it to fire up the PC and let diablo 3 update. LOTS has changed, so much that im going to start over and play from scratch......even the graphics have been upgraded.

corey can probably explain to you better then I can but so much has changed that its enough that im starting over and the game is as fun as a brand new game.

ohok, well update it and get it ready.. I think they put some d2 type stuff back in it as well..like i upgrade and get points, then i can assign those points to whatever i want..damage, armor..etc etc etc.. it really is almost a new game, really nice face lift they've given it. Just in time to cause i was getting super bored of lame drops and the screwed up auction house!

Been seeing lots of stuff about titanfall and like you said, everyone says MUST BUYYYYY

Yeah, titanfall was made by the guys who created call of duty. It's a scifi action shooter, and the movement is so fast and fluid. You run on the side of walls and buildings, parkouring your way through the map. You feel like you're in the matrix. Guns look like Unreal tournament guns. Shooting is fast and precise like call of duty. At first it's hard to break your habits and play it like a conventional video game. At first I was taking the stairs to get to the top of the building, because it's hard to remember on the fly that you can jump through the window into a building, jump out the window and run up the side of a busing , double jump on to a billboard and run on the side of a bill board and use that as momentum to leap to the top of a building. You need to start thinking like Spider-Man when it comes to movement. Most of the random statues or broken buildings in the game are vessels to get you moving through out the map. It's amazing.

Maybe, I wasn't sure. Epic has been bombing these past few years though, their games have been aweful. The last gears of war was terrible.
