Martin Sargent is not stupid, he's hilarious.  I love his show Unscrewed!

In all reality though, he is smarter than most of us (atleast me), he graduated summa cum laude from Cornell University.

Martin cracks me up as well. IMO the funniest guy on TechTV.

On a different note though i just heard Comcast has boughten Techtv from Paul Allen so there combining the G4 network (which i dont have and want so bad) with TechTV. :)


So now when i hopefully see reruns of Starcade instead of Unscrewed my subliminal extrasensory suggestions will have payed off.  No offence again  ;)

Mame runs fine on the Xbox, but a major problem is the problem that there is very limited Virtual Memory managment, so larger files won't play at all.  I don't know why the Mame-X team hasn't done anything about this, but FBA-X will play larger files no problem, so if you really want to have the whole list of Mame games to play, you gotta get Mame-X or MameoX  and get FBA-X.

Getting back "on topic" the entire techtv staff is clueless about every singel aspect of emulation, mame cabs or anything related to this community.  When I see them mention mame I cringe and change the channel out of fear that they'll say something completely wrong and stupid again.  

Mind you other than that, techtv is a great channel, it's just games they no nothing about.  Hopefully the merge with g4 will help.
