Trying to use consoles as a media center is what got me back into PC gaming. I use my PC as a media center, as the consoles always have stupid limitations.

That's what we are looking to do. More options, easier to use. Using the Wii U as a media center is impossible. The controls are horrible and you can't select a movie because even as a modern device it doesn't have enough horsepower to update the screen to show you what you are clicking on. It's ridiculous.

Don't disagree with @Nic either...:)

I have to add that the Media Remote control for the XBOX one is very good, very easy to use and lights up when it detects movement. A far cry better from the functional but lackluster 360 media remote. Voice commands are also fun to use on the XBOX One, especially with media.

if your situation looks like that....get to the doc ASAP

I'm very inconsistent, I'll moan at a TV program where a talking dog is breaking into NASA's mainframe in order to destroy some aliens by guessing the password and I'll be yelling at the TV "Oh yeah, like NASA would use weak passwords. That's so lame" and my wife will turn to me and say "Oh, so you have no problems with talking dogs attacking aliens then? That bit's realistic for you?".

The thing that I have it "internal consistency." I'm fine with Superman, as long as the movie is completely consistent about how that happens in the fictional world. I'm fine with physics being bent, as long as they are bent consistently. I have no problem with requiring the suspension of disbelief. What I can't handle is when I care more about the fictional world than the people who made it and I can see where they were lazy or confused about their own fictional world and they are breaking their own, fictional laws that they have defined.

I just registered for one.

Nice!

The true nerd solution would be to have your ashes used in making the platters for a hard drive 🙂

Hopefully, by the time any of us die, we'll be in a world without HDDs and it'll all be SSDs...

Hopefully by the time I die we will have digitized the brain. Here's hoping for a digital immortality.

I have no idea what you're talking about with a sequel and all that. There was only one movie, and it was horrible.

Netflix's first in house movie is the sequel to the classic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Before now they've only made their own TV shows, not movies.

Oh ok. You gave no context on your statement and it made no sense in this post. When you said "they licensed their first movie too", you made it sound like Netflix was the one who made the original Unfortunate Events movie. Just the wording was wonky.

But I said that the first one was the sequel to Crouching Tiger.

I was reading it a different way. Just how my brain works...

@dominica and I met while living there too.

Guess it was a smart town then. 😉

Yeah, you could remove the harddrive and install from another device to it and replace it. Huge pain, but could be done.

I have seen the pic before not that many times but I know it.

Part of why it's awesome is now someone will actually try some of those things 😛

The real issue is that likely very few people have seen that unit to know what the settings look like.

Yeah, I know. The management UI is about what you'd expect from a consumer-grade device. It's pretty and functional, but very basic as to what it can do.

I had a friend in college who once watched a car chase on television and saw them go by the window of where he was working.... and believe it or not it was one of the most famous car chases of all time. The OJ Simpson chase.

LOL Too cool!

Some how I want to take No.30 and change it to something about computers......

IT Guy has 100 end-users, and doesn't drink on the job. 😉

Nice, I like them. It works well.

@nadnerB very true

Looks very cute.

These are excellent. I will surely be trying them out.
