How is Shishka's ExcellenceBox not overheating??? The thing's like humping his giant TV!

Hardly. It's got about an inch of clearance, and like two feet of clearance from the wall. It's got plenty of breathing room.

Yes, but mine has trouble being any closer than 9 inches from my TV. Yours must have a way higher tolerance for overheating than mine. Maybe it's all of the damned souls that you feed it...

The The Greatest AV Set Up ever Concieved confuses me. What is the game on the TV? And, why does that guy have a nintendo? I thought that Microsoft and Nintendo where worst enemys.

Hello, I'm Daryl. Nice to meet you. See you around.

I have the same exact TV/Receiver that Shishka has.

These guys have some nice setups. I've got some pretty serious gear which keeps up with all but one of their rooms. (Electrostatic speakers and the Projector! Freaking insane)

Here's my setup:

50" Sony Grand WEGA HDTV
XBOX 360 pushing 720P/1080I
Onkyo TX-SR701 THX Select
Inifinity Primus 250's x 4
Infinity Alpha Center (Front Channel) x 1
Inifinity Primus Center (Rear Channel) x 1
Velodyne CHT 12" Subwoofer x 1

My setup is quite respectable, but hardly breathtaking in that there are always gonna be bigger/better displays or speakers. I'm satisfied in that the sound is clean and deep, and the picture quality is HD, nuff' said. My pride and joy is the subwoofer which is quite potent for it's size.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

A picture to Bone's rig ? It sounds awesome.

Im planning to upgrade soon.
36 inch plasma tv
360


i hope your not going to use that 360 on that plasma tv unless you want to screw up the tv, the only HD TVs you can use for video games are rear projection LCD and DLP

New plasmas are great for gaming and many odler plasmas can be "trained" by cycling the pixels before playing games on 'em. One good way to do this is to play a ton of music through the full screen 360 visualizer.

Acting like pre and post pubescent idiots who feel confident behind Internet anonymity? Even though it's applicable to the majority of our members, we ask that they not do that here.

Dang it. If only I had gotten my projector on time...

You want to know what it'd be like to have no moderators on this site? Try this easy to prepare simulation.
Step 1: Procure yourself an intact box, something a fridge or similarly large appliance.
Step 2: Fill cardboard box halfway with feral cats. One or two should be rabid.
Step 3: Climb inside the box, closing the top behind you.
Step 4: Begin screaming and thrashing wildly at the cats.

Cool to know that my setup rivals some of the Bungie greats. A lot of you guys have sweet ones though. I think its probably better to have a small room with these setups. Mine is in a much larger (but creepy) basement area. I have great surround sound, but the back speakers are so realistic that during horror movies I constantly have to look behind me to make sure the noises don't mean a serial killer is approaching.

Bungie, you call this an update?
All you did was post a bunch of pics of your freaking pads. Is this a blog or what?

When it showed Miranda with popcorn, I honestly thought we were gonna get some juicy details on what Bungie is working on. Instead we get pictures of stupid television sets.

The next update: "Look at all the cool designs on our front doors!"

Worst enemies only because Nintendo > Microsoft.

that Dan kid must be the biggest pansy/nerd/rich kid in the world. and i bet he hasn't ever used his skateboard.

  • 03.15.2006 9:57 PM PDT

Stay Gold, Ponyboy.

Yeah, that kid's a -blam!-. I can't even imagine that he would have actually worked for everything he has. It would be crazy to even think most of that Halo stuff was given to him. He must have stolen it from somewhere. I bet he never even played Halo 1. I'd kick him in the face, strip him naked, rub him down with oils and steal his camera if I ever saw him. Show him what we do to -blam!-s around these parts.

What a nerd. I'm mean, I'm not a nerd for posting here or reading Bungie's articles. I'm actually getting pleasured while I type and drawing up plans for my next house / community center in CAD. Tomorrow I have to register my tricked out Civic and screw a pile of cash.

And you know what I bet he's too fat to even get on that skateboard, that's why it's on the wall. Ha. I'm kickass. I should have been up there. He's a straight up sucka, for reals.

Edit: By the way, your scream to the world of, "everything will end in nothing," really puts things into perspective. In relation to other fetal alcholol victims you're talking the 'awkward/angst' stage very well. Thank you Nostradamus.

Good setups.
And for those thinking of an audio upgrade, think of Spherex's XBOX 5.1. I have had this thing for almost 6 months and it's killer (for the audio programmers on Halo 2-'-blam!-in').

i think most of the bungie staff has a nice setup obviously bone's setup is pretty sick. harold and cj's are up there too. one of them should just go crazy and go buy the new 103" plasma that just came out. who knows how much they want for that though. also cj if you read this before you upgrade your dvd you should wait cuz they are coming out with the blue ray hd dvds and your going to need a new dvd player to watch those and the quality is going to be nice. sketch i feel your pain with the rear projection the pic is nice but the size of the tv is ugly.

my setup:
51" sony rear proj.
hd satellite(component)
dvd player(dvi)
monster surge protector
xbox 360(component)
denon 7.1 surround sound amp(all sound is connected through optical)
boston acoustics bravo speakers
boston acoustics vr center channel
boston acoustics 300rms downward firing sub
lcd touch screen remote
