I'll play a long.

Me on my 21st.



And bill, I'm almost always the same way.

And no, that's not my girlfriend. I don't like them blondes. Unless they're from Brazil.

I'm not sure what you mean?

Wow. I must say, you guys did a fantastic job of answering my questions and laying out the possibilities in a very concise, yet descriptive way. I love this forum. ;D

NAS sounds very interesting. It seems like exactly what I want....for storage anyway. I'd much rather have my HDD connected to the router directly than through any PC. Also, building my own DMP PC sounds like a lucrative project. I could put Linux on there, play basically everything and even use my favorite MP, Amarok. I'm not very proficient in building PC's though....Still, I wouldn't mind learning.

As for accessing my files over the internet, I always knew it would be hard. If I didn't hate Winamp FULL so much (not the tiny player), with it's capability to stream content from PC to PC, Wii, PS3, etc., I would have settled on that. XAMPP sounds interesting. I'll have to put more thought into this and decide what I want to do.

Many DMPs don't store the media - if you backup your new HDD it'll be safe. You could get around this by having a backup arrangement on your computer which moves new media from #CURRENT to #ARCHIVE but that's going into the technical realm.

You'll have to explain more about that at a later date. That sounds ideal.

I have about 150 GB of music and I need more space. I'd like to buy at least a Terabyte external HDD, but what's most important is my ability to access the information on my HDD through my computer and some form of digital media player that's attached to my receiver by HDMI.

I'm not savvy when it comes to any of these things, yet I can see the massive potential it has. I have a couple of questions to anyone who knows.

1. I know I can access a Network HDD through my wireless network, but is it possible to access the information of the HDD through the internet? Can I access the HDD from across the globe?

2. Digital Media Players: what can they really do?
    - Can they stream media flawlessly?
    - Can they record media back to the HDD?
    - Are they essentially a computer (can I organize everything)?

What I want is exactly this: I come home, turn on my receiver and DMP, and play my entire collection randomly. I start preparing some food, then while it's cooking, I look up some new music I want to hear and download it DIRECTLY to my new HDD. After eating, I call my girl over and put on a slide show of pictures of her while my music is still playing. Later, as we're watching futurama, I decide to record it with my DMP (which then automatically backs it up on my HDD, but it doesn't have do that instantly. If it could be scheduled, that would be perfect). Later, we watch a dvd-rip of Emperor's New Groove.

The next day I leave for Hawaii and decide to listen to this one song I forgot to put on my iPod. I access my HDD through the internet and stream the song (or even download it), then listen to it. The same should work if I wanted to watch a movie. After coming back from a night at the beach, I upload my pictures to my networked HDD.

After a week, I come back and find that my DMP media is all backed-up on my HDD and that the original media has been deleted; completely freeing up my DMP for more scheduled recordings.

If I can have all that with the advanced options of selecting exactly how media is converted (what file type) and when, it would be perfect.

I wouldn't mind spending as much as it takes because this to me sounds like the coolest, most seamless media playing/sharing/storing setup ever.

EDIT: I just stumbled on what is called a media server. Anyone heard of such a thing?

I'm planning on spending no more that $1500 total.

That Sony Receiver is pretty neat. I like the fact that it has 4 HDMI inputs, but one thing that is very important to me is the ability to upscale every input to HDMI; I want just one wire to go to my tv. Also the ability to mix and match audio and video inputs (such as seeing the Wii while hearing my CD player) is important. One other thing is the subwoofer outlet. I HATE the RCA jack for the subwoofer that Sony pretty much uses in all their receivers. I'd much rather prefer wire inputs.

As for the speakers and subwoofer, I have no idea. The Hsu Research was critically acclaimed 4 years ago, I don't know what they have done since then. What are the brands that I should be looking at? I want the underrated category of speakers since my sub will be the most important part of the setup. I make bass heavy music and I also love watching a movie with great bass response. I really don't mind spending the majority of my budget on this.

I'm looking to get an entirely new home audio system.

I'm looking to spend no more than 500 bucks on a receiver. The receiver must have HDMI and also it would be nice if it was THX certified.

So far I've found this:
http://www.testfreaks.com/receivers/onkyo-tx-sr705/

I'm also looking for speakers and a NICE subwoofer (I love bass). I need the speakers to be clear and the subwoofer to well defined. I have over 12,000 songs and I get more everyday; so I want to enjoy them. I'm willing to pay maybe a grand total when it's all said and done.

So far I've found this:

Any help would be gladly appreciated.

-Sounds cool.

-Hells yeah!

-Ok. Under EA this might be good.

-That's what the **** I'm talking about!

Activision has the license now and Treyarch the developer is Activision's studio. EA was the one that actually mucked up the James Bond games well most of them.

Well what's Activisions last online game for the Wii? MOH?

Twists

I hate M. Night Shylamanamanaanan. Not because of ability to direct, I actual think some of his work is fantastic, but ever since The Sixth Sense, his writing has been atrocious. His twists are mostly to blame. I'm sure anyone who saw The Happening will agree that that movie especially had enormous potential. It started off disturbing, freaky, shocking, and awe inspiring. His direction and his ability to capture the scenes kept me almost TOO interested. Then as more questions were being answered it turned into the dumbest, least intelligent, almost political type of movie that allowed for no other afterthoughts other than "What the hell happened?" or "Why?" I'm honestly glad he's not writing the next three films he's directing; if you guys don't know, he's making the live Avatar: the last airbender trilogy.

But enough about M. Night, let's talk about that goofy ass dance that white people call "the twist." I couldn't imagine living in those days where twisting was the way a man and a woman would interact on the dance floor. Now-a-days you can basically have dry sex on the dance floor and I love it. Posting up against the wall and having a girl work her **** like a good damn car buffer is what I call dancing. It's just as good when she's actually facing me and titties are all up in my chest and face. NOW THAT'S DANCING. Not to say that I don't like other forms of dance, like salsa, meringue, and other Latin varieties. I like to dance just to have fun like anybody else; ****, I'll dance by myself if I have to. The point is though: if I'm talking to a girl and we find each other attractive, there's nothing like dirty dancing to get to know each other physically. It's especially enticing because everyone knows if you can dance, you are probably pretty good at having sex (this is especially true for girls, because of how crucial hip and lower back movement are to both dancing and sex).

I've think I'd said enough on this subject.

PEACE ;D

Teh Billeh has some Heavy Rain impressions up at Cripsy Gamer. Sounds fucking amazing.

Sounds amazing. I really hope the pull it off. That scene that was described sounds deliciously scary.

My chest feels like somebody's sitting on it when I first start noticing I might be sick. If I can eat a couple of fruits and grab some juice, I can usually beat it before any real symptoms set in. Once they set in though, I'm fucked.
