Bombin' with Rami was fantastic. Such an interesting man and it is good to hear about game development from a cultural perspective than what I'm used to.

Isn't plasma terrible for gaming due to the ease of which it gets burn-in? I thought I heard brad complaining about burn-in with his tv recently.

It can definitely be an issue by playing games with static menus for long periods of time.
Something like ffxiv:arr would be a plasma killer with the hotbars
Why is it still popular amongst gamers and Gaffers then?
I honestly don't get TVs these days. Back in my days, we used to plug the wires and just play the games,...
You have to break in a new plasma. Brad didn't do it, and paid the price. If he had just kept the tv on low brightness and contrast for the first month or so he would have been fine. You don't have to do anything special these days.

I have 60" Samsung Plasma and I've never had image retention compared to my 3 year old 50" LG Plasma that retains images that have been on screen for a whole 2 seconds.
Modern plasmas don't really suffer from permanent burn-in anymore. I've had a plasma for nearly six years that I use for gaming and the worst I have ever experienced is some temporary "ghosting" on the screen after I turn the TV off. I have never experienced any image hanging around when it's actually on.

Plasma burn-in hasnt been an issue for a long time, they are more likely to suffer from temporary image retention but burn in is a non-issue. Brad is just Brad, nothing you can do about him and if its something bad, the worse version of that bad thing will always happen to him.
Ive had a Samsung plasma for 3-4 years now, im a heavy gamer and my TV has never had an issue. My Borther has a plasma(i believe panasonic) is a heavy gamer and never had an issue. The rest of the guys on the couch all have the same tv as brad and never had an issue. Its just Brad and its an old issue with plasmas that the general population still believes is an issue.
LCD TV's can suffer from burn in, can suffer image retention and also suffer from image fade(usually 5-10 years).
Plasma's tend to be used as they have very small response time which LCD's are still struggling with

Seems like plasma is going the way of the dodo with more and more companies dropping it, wonder when we'll see LCDs with the same blacks and color of good plasmas

they're starting to push OLEDs a bit but then there's 4k, which is probably going to be LCD only for a while to keep costs down. So who knows.
They're dropping plasmas because everybody wants super cheap, big TVs. LCDs can provide that, damn picture quality.

I mistakenly left Sonic All Star Racing paused over night on my 65" Panasonic VT60 and was sure I was fucked.
Ran the built-in screen wipe for 3hrs and it was all gone.

Yeah can't wait til OLEDs become more prominent and affordable
O I understand, LCDs definitely get you the most bang for your buck, hell I just bought 2 40" LCDs yesterday for $400 each on amazon. Picture quality has improved a ton since they first came out, though I still think the best blacks come from plasmas and oleds
Thanks bub!
Also plasma always. LCD is such a waste of money. The best tech always gets the boot for inferior quality shit.

The link (and the story) can be found in the News Stories archive.
It's not a GB video, and they've never hosted it. They just linked it.

Jeff taking Windjammers around the world looking to test his skills around the world would be amazing.
Jeff hosting a podcast in which people air their beefs and then settle them via Windjammers.
A concept that is still better than all MTV based programming.

Mixlr recordings take like 5 days or so to show up in the showreel.
When you can snatch the flying power disc from my hand it will be time for you to leave.
Ah. Makes sense. I go in between being current and not, but no longer have a backlog. I will have to wait!
Well, I'm pretty sure the people behind iplaywinner are from San Francisco. I've actually mentioned before that they should get Haunts (who is with Capcom now) or someone else from that crew to join them for some fighting game knowledge.
This is what awaits them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS-DpeFdPWY

do people still play that game
It's consistently in the top 3 or 4 most popular games on Twitch. It's an awesome game - though a bit of an RNGfest at times.

I wish Hearthstone ran smoother on my iPad 3, but any iPad Hearthstone is better than none!
