For some reason I can't access Shamoozal using my phone web browser. I never really tried with the blackberry so it's not the biggest deal.

no problems accessing it on the galaxy nexus. maybe you just have something flukey with your browswer. try dumping your phone's cache and cookies adn shit.

based on the reviews, it seems like a good purchase.

Wow, it even comes with 3D glasses? That's a pretty good deal. I don't know if you'd ever use those but still, the glasses alone costs $100. At least the Panasonic ones do. Not sure about the Samsung ones.

the important thing is lots of internet connectivity.

Russell Casse · **Posted:** August, 9, 2012 - 1:45pm

My TV connects to the internet too but I've actually never used that feature. It's hooked up to my PC so if I wanted to watch something from the internet on the TV, I just drag it over.

yeah i use the asus oplay and a wireless bridge. but having wifi enabled tv is the next step for me.

I have a samsung 52" LCD and it's fucking beautiful. I don't know how good their plasmas are, but if they're anything like their lcd's you will not be disappointed.

Frank · **Posted:** August, 9, 2012 - 2:55pm

the 3D aspect of it is not the big draw for me since i dont see in 3D hah. im more interested in the built in wifi. i half thought about a google TV...but fuck that. tu, i think these particular glasses are 20 beans a pop. at least i read that someplace somewhere on the net. i may have a plan in line to go get this thing tomorrow. and then i will rule the world.

shiiiit

so here's a wrinkle with this whole TV shit. i have a DLP set and the bulb blew out on it. this is the second time. the first i replaced it, it was 400 beans. i told myself the next it went i was buying a new TV. well, turns out i can find a replacement bulb online these days for as low as 62 beans. so now im at a loss. i can be responsible and get the bulb or plunge and buy a new TV...shiiiiiiit

that is a corundum

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** August, 9, 2012 - 3:27pm

I might be in the market for a new TV. And I want one with wifi so I can change to Netflix streaming.
Right now I have nothing that can do Netflix hooked to any of my good TVs. And the only thing I have to do it is a Wii anyway and my game room TV is only 32" and not an ideal room for watching movies.

But anyway, I have a really old HDTV from over 10 years ago. Its a big ass projection TV but its in a room I barely use so I didn't really care that it was big and old.
Well it finally died. And the fix is probably only a couple hundred (I looked online) but I should just upgrade now.
I have a 5 year old 37" in my living room. I want to move that to the room we barely use and then get a TV in the 50-60" range for the living room.

I'd probably do a Best Buy deal where you get no interest for a couple years. Then slowly pay it off.

Frank · **Posted:** August, 9, 2012 - 9:12pm

manf, thats what i was thinking. do a no interest BB dealy for 18 months or something. i have a 100 dollar gift card, too.

Frank · **Posted:** August, 10, 2012 - 3:06pm

new TV has been acquired. apparently the 3d looks great on it hah. the rest of it looks really great too. now i just need to figure out the best placement for the home theater speakers around it as there isn't much room on the center for it all.

Russell Casse · **Posted:** August, 10, 2012 - 3:14pm

hahaha, that was quick. Men, we get things done.

Frank · **Posted:** August, 10, 2012 - 4:12pm

hah well it wasnt THAT quick. i've been thinking about it for at least a week now.

BestBuy is having a pretty sweet video game sale. Went there and picked up Rhythm Heaven Fever (Wii for 5 dollars) and Rayman Origins (PS3 for 10 dollars). I had a giftcard so it was actually free. Epic Yarn is also on sale for 10 but they don't have it in store or online. They do have it at the BB near my work, so I might try and get it tomorrow. I'll have to pay the tax on it, but I got some mileage out of that gift card if I find it.

Russell Casse · **Posted:** August, 12, 2012 - 12:51pm

Epic Yarn for $10 seems like a good deal. I really like the music in it.

Cool. Yeah I really like the other game that team did (Warioland Wii) so I'm really hoping I can find this.

I can't believe Rhythm Heaven is 5 fuckin dollars. That's awesome, but also terrible. It's so good!

I'm pumped for Dust: An Elysian Tale tomorrow on Xbawks. Vanillaware style visuals, Metroid inspired progression, fun looking combat. I'm in.

3dsXl is coming soon too. I will have that and a copy of New Super Mario Bros. 2 along with it.

Feels weird because I haven't been buying, or even playing, any games recently.

Yeah Dust looks great. It's totally a furry game, but it really does look solid. That dude has been working on that for ages. I think he was originally trying to do a feature length film and then moved the idea over to a video game.

Also, I bought Epic Yarn today. So for the three games I've only ended up spending a dollar sixty five. Not bad!
