RetroTINK 5X (maybe 6X even)

There are lots of nice speakers out there and I have a terrible problem resisting them, but this set here is among the best sounding PC speakers I've ever heard. I bought these originally in November of 2000, and during this time Altec Lansing and Yamaha made some really 2.1 multi-media sets. Since then I had a set of Z-680's and a set of Z-5500's that ultimately had the control pod fail, but I eventually ended up back to these. I came to the conclusion that a good 2.1 setup actually sounds better in the near field environment. I don't mean this to seem like some audiophile review, these things just flat out rock, you can feel them! I've since picked up two more of these setups from ebay for front and rear on my build project, and with a few dampening mods using duct seal, they sound even better. This mod isn't needed to make them sound good out of the box, but it does remove a bit of the resonating inherit to the plastic the satellite cabinets are made from. To see a set in this good of shape at this price is unusual, to say the least. The only speaker I've found that tops them is even more rare, the YST-M100. https://www.theaudiophileworld.net/2014/06/the-yamaha-yst-m100-and-msw10.html?_escaped_fragment_ These are sitting in front of me now with no sub, and the sound can not be pinpointed, instead it's just a wall of sound.

Must have been a hell of a right turn to land you with a new GPU

A bit late, sorry..... Happy Birthday!

Should check these out: YST-MS50 I'm always on the watch for these as they are surprisingly good. They do not come up often! https://www.hometheatershack.com/threads/review-yamaha-yst-ms50-multimedia-speakers-deliver-great-sound-on-the-cheap.1002/ http://www.audioreview.com/product/speakers/floorstanding-speakers/yamaha/ystms50.html

I just really don't see how it could have been done any differently given how much of the story took place in the OASIS. I enjoyed the CGI parts of RPO and felt they were done extremely well. What I didn't like was the changing of the story and the slicing off of so much of the content. I've said it many times, but it really should have been a two or three part movie with much more effort spent trying to get everyone on board with idea of benefiting from having their respective IP being showcased in the movie. Let's face it, many of these companies weren't exactly common household names in 2018 and sill aren't. Being part of the movie could've catapulted them into the retro craze, but instead they are left on the sidelines. Ultraman alone could have used it to kick off a new movie, which I'm amazed hasn't been done. Ultimately it was the immersiveness of the Ready Player One story that sucked me in, and the movie had none of that.

A lot get's rehashed in many of these, but this one had some new twists, or well at least for me it did.

I got mine week before last week in good overall condition, especially considering it came from the UK. Just some minor bruising on the corners. I knew this going in, but it's nothing at all like the other retro books in my collection, glad I picked it up too!

Wow strange how this was was just in limbo and one of the few to miss the mainstream consoles. It looks like a decent game to me and one I'll give a go after seeing this, which would not have been the case otherwise. I agree with you about the color selection!

I browsed the entire book over the weekend and it's an entirely different book, even smaller actually. It's almost like someone realized potential had been left on the table and went back to take it to the next level, glad I picked it up! The pin-holing is there, but I probably notice it more than others due to my background in commercial printing. Some of the solid backgrounds are were it is the worst, but they are very small and I didn't notice any big fish eye's or anything so I'll leave well enough alone.

Oh wow, that looks like a nice piece!

geesh........ If you're going to just throw money away, at least throw it in my direction, please!

I stumbled upon this in the most unusual of ways, but if this is your thing, then don't sit on the fence! These appear to be limited to remaining stock: Get 2, get free shipping and still get it for less than one anywhere else I've found so far. When I found this deal yesterday it was $49.99 at Amazon, but it appears they are matching Target. Anyway, more details and pics over on Amazon.

For a moment last night while sitting in my computer chair I ignored the fact I have stacks of games I've yet to install; much less time to play, and pressed the "place order" button on Steam for Empire at War. After reading and watching several reviews I'm pretty surprised to see how this one has held up over time. I nearly bought it when it came out, but seeing the developer and community support this is still getting pushed me over the edge 15 years later. I figure I'll be able to at least hit up some campaign action every week or so and man does this thing look amazing on my triple monitor setup Perhaps this game will prove justification for actually buying three of them

If your eying Empire at War Gold Pack, then grab it from Steam instead. https://www.pcgamesn.com/star-wars-empire-at-war-gold-pack/patch-notes-2021

At one point I had many of the oldies, but started selling them off back in the 98SE days. I picked up Racer last year during this sale, but haven't even tried it. I will say this, go read their forums for tips about how to install it and set it up beforehand, apparently it's real picky about initial setup.

Please stop reporting responses to your post!!!

Ahh, the good ole days! I recall someone turning me on to Republic Commando a long time ago now, another decent game from the prequel days like Racer.
