Hola


Hi, sorta new guy here. I've been a member for a while but I've never really participated. Now that I've finally purchased my first HDTV, I figured it was time to at least become somewhat active.

I'm from Dallas, TX, and I work as a sound designer for a video game developer. I previously worked in commercial postproduction doing audio for commercials. Two recent games I worked on were Bionicle Heroes for the Nintendo DS and Tony Hawk's Project 8 for the 360/PS3/Xbox/PS2.

As far as the home theater setup is concerned, last night I picked up an Akai 50" DLP TV. It maxes out at 720p, but I got a good deal on it ($800) and money is a little tight at the moment. I also picked up the HD-DVD player for the Xbox 360, which came with a copy of King Kong. I imagine we'll be purchasing more HDDVDs soon.

Sound system... my studio (where I do the majority of my work) is equipped with five Genelec 8020A monitors and a 7050B sub. I'm currently eyeing five Genelec 6020As and a 5050A sub for the living room where the HDTV is. I trust Genelec for references/daily work, but I've never had the chance to hear their home theater line, so I'm hoping to get a bit of input from people here about them.

That's my story. Looking forward to chatting with you all!

Re: Hola


Hi intro and welcome to the Shack!

So you are partially to blame for my daughter being a Tony Hawk fan...

Wow... I'd say that is an excellent deal on the DLP.

Look forward to seeing you more active... thanks!

Re: Hola


I guess I'm partially to blame, heh.

I don't know how much of a film buff you are, but if your daughter gets to the Fun Park area (it's the last one you can unlock I believe), have her hang out by the roller coaster and listen for a while. Occasionally you will hear a Wilhelm Scream mixed in with the passengers on the roller coaster.

Re: Hola


Hope to see you around. Welcome to the shack!


If you don't have a BFD for your sub, get one fast!
If you don't have REW, get it now!

Re: Hola


Welcome to the shack. Too bad you are not working on Duke Nukem Forever. Wonder if it will ever come out?
