Any suggestions for a wireless keyboard/mouse combo? I have an old Logitech that seems to have started really chewing up the batteries lately. It's got to have a range of at least four meters, and not be utterly huge and uncomfortable in the intended on-lap couch use. If it left off the numpad I'd be happy.

I swear the sole aim of the staff at EB Expo is to make you wait for the longest possible time for everything.

Aside from that, and being simply an obvious marketing event, the show has been okay - Bethesda's presentation of The Evil Within was a good highlight. Looking forward to catching the Good Game live show tonight.

Probably holding off on smash for a bit. The demo was cool but I'm still kinda ehhh on smash to be honest. Most of my 3dsing at the moment is on Theatrhythm anyway...which is awesome by the way!

Is it worth it buying a new 1080 tv when 4k tvs are coming down in price?!

A 4K monitor is justifiable if you have a really beefy PC, but I don't think a 4K TV is useful yet. Maybe in a couple of years. I hope you are looking forward to rebuying your movie collection again in 4K.

The first 1080i test broadcasts were, IIRC, in the late 90s, and were NFL matches. If we use that as a comparison, it'd probably take 5-10 years from the first 4K broadcast until you see decent amounts of content. Have there been any test 4K broadcasts anywhere?

I'd predict content not targeted at early adopters is still 3-5 years away, with large amounts being longer (5-10). If you expect the TV you're buying to be replaced in that time, get an HD set instead.

If I were buying a TV this year (and I am strongly considering replacing my main one), I'd be looking at HD sets.

Edit: Looks like some test 4K broadcasts happened earlier this year. Not sure if many earlier have occurred.

4K broadcast won't happen for a very long time at least in the Free to Air space since the networks don't have the the necessary bandwidth in the frequency currently available. Currently the networks would rather have 4 576i/p channels rather than 1 or 2 1080P channels, 4K stands no chance.

Foxtel gets away with it as they deliver the content over their own Telstra infrastructure.

Who watches 'tv' anymore? Do you watch it while reading a 'newspaper'?? While getting the horses fed before your carriage ride into the city!?

Ugh, sorry I fell out of the raid tonight and kept disconnecting. My internet just wouldn't stop being a dick! I really need to find out why it hates Destiny so much, it does it too much, I had a fun time though. Hopefully next time I'll have fixed the issue(and also be a bit higher level).

Agreed. They can't even be bothered to put sport onto their HD channels as it stands.

Although I work in a slightly different media field (Radio), I have heard from a few sources that apparently a lot of video for one network is sent around as a lower quality MPEG format. Just a rumor though.

I'm so close to pulling the trigger on a Asus ROG Swift, someone please talk me out of this madness

Completely unrelated, what download speeds are you guys getting on steam? I'm on a basic NBN plan +-20Mbps download speed, when I download something from steam I always hover around 2.6Mbps (when doing so it renders my bandwidth completely useless for the entire household)
I'm by no means complaining as prior to NBN my max speed was 600Kbs

I've read a few walkthroughs today, sounds like the relic holder going into the second portal with one other person is the most popular walkthrough. Should be able to give it a shot tonight hopefully!

I used http://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/destiny/247017-destiny-vault-glass-raid-walkthrough.html as a guide when I did it the first time. The last boss is super easy once you know the strat.

Our initial team went in blind the first time so we experimented a lot with strategies and positions for the fights. We messed up last night because I forgot the 1st relic carrier has to go into the 2nd portal to cleanse the other player. We should be able to clear it tonight.

Final boss is easy, new players just have to learn the oracle locations and teleport timings.
