I recently made the jump to an HDTV. My old TV, which was a Philips-Magnavox 60\u201d rear projection, was really starting to show its age, and with devices like my AppleTV and the HDTV cable box, I was starting to feel that I was getting behind the times. So, I picked up a Mitsubishi WD-65734 65\u201d DLP monster. I\u2019ve had it for about a week now, and I\u2019m thoroughly impressed. Very vivid colors, tons of inputs, and great 1080p performance.<\/p>\n
Of course, I had to go into the settings of my first generation X-Box and set it for 1080 and continued the trend with the AppleTV, cable box, and Wii (well, the Wii I was able to just set to widescreen because it only supports 720). I then decided to get a PlayStation 3 from my local Rent-A-Center to see what it was like and Oh. My. God. I\u2019ll have it for two weeks on a trial and if I like it, I may just go ahead and purchase one. I\u2019ve downloaded several demos of games, which look amazing, and played Sonic The Hedgehog, which looks great too, but honestly, I\u2019ve never liked that series of games.<\/p>\n
I picked up I Am Legend<\/a> on DVD yesterday and Shauna and I watched it last night. Over all, I thought it was pretty good. I\u2019ve never read the book<\/a> by Richard Matheson, nor have I seen The Last Man on Earth<\/a> orThe Omega Man<\/a>, which are also based off of this book. Because I\u2019ve not enjoyed these other renditions, or the original itself, may be the reason why I don\u2019t loathe the new movie like so many out there do. It was fun, and a nice way to spend a Saturday night.<\/p>\n I also picked up a couple of new Wii games, Game Party (because it was only $20) and Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (because\u2026 well, duh\u2026 it\u2019s Star Wars). I played some Lego Star Wars yesterday and was thoroughly satisfied for a bit. I got Game Party because I thought it would be a good thing Shauna and I could play, especially the ski-ball game (she loves ski-ball). We\u2019ll most likely play it later today.<\/p>\n Things at my day job are finally slowed down to where I can focus on Suncoast Studios work. I plan on putting together a schedule tomorrow night to give equal and appropriate time to each of the projects I\u2019m working on. I will then be able to touch base with my collaborators and get their expectations in line with what I can provide them. I need to get several of these things done, because I have a very exciting new project that I want to start which will really stretch my abilities. This is a very top-secret project I won\u2019t be talking about until there\u2019s something to show, but involves HD and possibly film work. I\u2019ve only mentioned a one-sentence description to Shauna, but haven\u2019t gone into any details on what I\u2019m doing.<\/p>\n Well, I\u2019ve been cleaning the apartment all day so I need to go take a shower now and head out to get some hotdogs for the grill tonight.<\/p>\n Sick Thought of the Day: Red hole, jagged fingernail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I recently made the jump to an HDTV.
