    voice recognition in gaming

    Good thoughts. I think that given that it would still be possible to weave voice recognition into a game, it would just have to be done thoughtfully and not with the whole game using it, just in places. On another note it's weird to notice how I speak differently than I would type - I'm...

    voice recognition in gaming

    Well, your day is partially here. The new version of Dragon recognized your voice without any training, which I think is a huge step as I remember my friend spending about 22 hours on one of the older versions just for training. Also - the accuracy is way up. That Star Trek: Bridge Commander...

    voice recognition in gaming

    I installed Dragon on my computer last week and am using voice commands to do everything and it rocks my world. My neck had been sore for weeks and I guess it musta been the mouse because it went away. Anyway, wondering if anyone knows if they’ve developed/are developing a voice recognition...

    What HDTV should I buy?

    Ha, very true. Actually, here people are pretty knowledgeable, it's in my outside life that I've had the most DLP arguments in the last week.

    What HDTV should I buy?

    Uh... I still don't believe you. I saw a Plasma on display that had burn-in, and it was only a year old. But now I have chosen a side, so I have to get into these arguments. Which sucks, I thought once I actually bought the DLP TV the discussing would be over.

    What HDTV should I buy?

    I can tell you for sure that the burn-in problem hasn't been fixed. Plasmas suffer from it, and though LCD don't suffer as much, here's what I got when I googled it: "LCD TVs do not suffer from burn-in, but can have a "retained pixel charge" which may also produce ghosting. Stuck pixels are...

    What HDTV should I buy?

    Yeah, but that's exactly why I'm thinking of DLP. The DLP site I linked to above promises no burn-in. This is important to me as I have a habit of passing out in front of the TV with my game paused, which has led to my current CRT TV having various meters and even a text box burned into it. I...

    What HDTV should I buy?

    I'm leaning heavily towards the 3rd option, it’s the cheapest, and I’ve heard good things about DLP: http://www.dlp.com/

    DDR for Dummies

    Heh, no, no, it's "Exercise for Fat Lazy Out of Shape Cheez Puff Guzzling Gamers". That's why I want a free copy (more like I'm too cheap to invest in the pads). Which I can't win because I suck. So, uh, won't someone win me a copy and send it to me? :)

    DDR for Dummies

    Always wanted to play DDR but have absolutely no coordination? Or how about KR (Karaoke Revolution) but you can’t sing? This is your answer: http://www.musicineverydirection.com/mo ... source=gpr I spent about three hours playing this at work today… a very good way to waste some time...
