ne day i'll have a big enough place that i can have a game room and have a dedicated CRT to old consoles, new tv's can't handle them properly
<directhex> the problem is light guns
<directhex> my zapper is now a paperweight. boo
<ali1234> is ubuntu TV going to be a full TV solution, or will it be like existing smart TVs, where it's a mode that you switch to independent of the "watching TV" mode
<gord> so how do you hunt ducks?!
<directhex> i don't. boo.
<gord> the duck population will get out of control!
<directhex> i should play some more rayman.
<gord> origins?
<directhex> yes
<gord> beat that the other week, tis good
<directhex> it's exceedingly unoriginal
<directhex> in the best way
<directhex> i.e. it's like rayman 1, but prettier and smoother - and less brutal on the lives front
<gord> they wanted to open source the graphics engine powering it, wonder if they will
<popey> ali1234: integrated, is the idea
<directhex> http://www.develop-online.net/news/38204/Ancel-wants-UbiArt-tech-to-be-free-for-all ?
<popey> so the epg is shown in the UI along with film selection, local video etc
<ali1234> cool
<gord> doing the new resident evil on my 3ds at the mo, also good
<directhex> don't have a 3ds
<directhex> funny thing - i own 3d games and movies which i put into my ps3, connected to my 3d-capable av receiver, into my 3d tv. and i take 3d photos with my 3d camera. but i skipped the 3ds
<directhex> mobile gaming has never been a thing for me. i'm the driver, so i get little chance to do "full" 3d games, rather than stolen moments
<gord> 3ds is easily the best device for 3d atm :)
<directhex> tbh imho there won't be mobile handhelds after the 3ds and vita. mobile phones have devalued dedicated mobile systems too far
<directhex> poor sales of both systems suggest i'm not alone
<gord> actually the 3ds has sold hugely
 * popey googles vita
<gord> some of us don't want a mobile phone to play games on
<popey> oh, sony
<directhex> after they cut the asking price on the 3ds by more than 33% it sold okay
<directhex> nowhere n
