As Danny said, if it was billed as an original project or something other than "The Prisoner", it might have gotten a better reception. What ever it's merits as an original production, it completely fails as a remake or reimagining of "The Prisoner". I like Lost, but it's a lousy prisoner...

Here's a round up on CNET of what they think are the best blu ray players For a moderate price, the Samsung BD-P3600 seems to be your best bet. It covers nearly everything you might want, especially Netflix streaming. Samsung BD-P3600 DVD Player reviews - CNET Reviews Are there particular...

(Random Observation) Maybe it's just me, but happy endings always seem out of place in Moorcock stories.

That was the only reason we survived at all. None of that made him a pushover. Cutting an overwhelmingly lethal encounter down to one that is "merely" a major challenge, is not an example of beneficence or doing us some sort of a favor. So items don't factor into a character's/monster's power...

And this one was when we were too low level for that to be reasonable even for you. These were all mooks, "random" encounters. "the most powerful of them coming from a spherical stone embedded in the wall of the largest chamber, which seems to have been used as a bedroom. It is (as Nameless...

Speaking of the original series. Found a great deal on the original series on Blu Ray for $35!!! Blu-ray.com - Deal Alert: The Prisoner Blu-ray for $34.99 with Coupon Supposed to be a nice upgrade over the DVD boxed set. Since it was shot on film, it has benefited from the switch. Blu-ray.com...

I don't think that a motion controller is a reason, to either get or not get a system on it's own. So it wasn't really relevant. Sony has also been far less forthcoming on what exactly theirs is or what they plan to do with it.

BTW you know it is possible to build a mac out of standard PC parts (or even use a standard PC). Google "Hackintosh" and you'll turn up a bunch of sites/guides for doing it. This is the one I've used. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showforum=82 Not for the faint of heart or those...

No thread on the AMC "Prisoner" Remake? I only really made it through the first episode of the two broadcast last night. This one just doesn't work IMHO. Jim Cavezel comes across as just a guy. McGoohan came across as an implacable, unbending force of nature. Exactly what you had to be in...

You would not be able to use it on your current machine. You need at least an intel mac to be able to use what they are planning on using to enable mac compatability. WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator) essentially "maps" what would be windows system calls to the equivalent in the "native" operating...

I have found this web site to be a good guide to things like the quality of the transfer/soundtrack. Blu-ray.com - Blu-ray Movies, Players, Recorders, DVDs, Media and Software It can vary considerably and there's no point in replacing a DVD if the Blu Ray isn't much better. They also usually...

From what I can tell, it is going to be tough to get a machine for $550 w/t an actual graphics card, if that price needs to include a monitor as well. Especially at a retail store. I was able to build this Dell (small business dept) for about $420 Inspiron 546 Minitower SYSTEM COLOR Piano...

We were NOT going to be fighting him if I had anything to say about it. Half-fiend dragon - Blasphemy + Dragon HD (AKA Caster Level) = Instantly dead party. We're not that stupid and fighting your dragons is never any fun. They're always buffed to the point of near invulnerability and when you...

No, it does not preclude it. You can in fact use both simultaneously to drive 2-3 monitors (many graphics cards will drive 2 monitors). However a lot of the integrated graphics will steal some of your computer's ram. You actually want what's called a "PCIe x16" or "PCI Express x16" slot. The...

How can you NOT love the end of "The Runestaff"? The first Hawkmoon trillogy was terrific. The second trillogy was not as good though.

If F.A.T.A.L. (just google it. I'm at work and can't post links to it) is something that you never knew what you were missing until you had it in your life. I'm quite certain I hope to never meet you IRL. Perhaps you meant "Natal"? ;)

He had a bunch of "John Carter of Mars" knock off books that probably fit that definition. His recent (last 5-10 yrs) Elric books have had something of a "I need money so I'm writing more about my most popular character" feel to them. I'd say it's mostly his lesser known stuff though. Anything...

The DLC situation seems to largely be down to MS backing huge trucks of money up to the developers doorsteps. They've been paying for that exclusivity (for a time). From all the reviews and comparisons I've seen the 360 version does tend to have a slight edge, but it's just a slight edge...

Are you looking at a WINE wrapper? Maybe I haven't tried the product. Price seems a bit on the high side, especially if you want more than one system. But I assume you have to pay licensing fees? Doesn't seem like this should be a problem. You've got to have a fairly old mac not to be...

That's where the "avoid the integrated graphics" comes in and the list of decent basic video cards. Pretty much any system with a PCIe video card will be able to do the 1080p. IME, integrated graphics are a sign that you should simply avoid the computer, if there are no options for upgrading...
