That is because your TV can not handle the refresh rate nor the resolution. The pictures I post b4 are through a projector, that has XVGA (max res. of 1024x760 w/the same refresh rate as my video card) in ( just like your computer monitor) thus I can use my video adapter in the PC the same way. The only limitations I have is the size of the screen. I could however take it outside and set it up against my house and have a picture over 6feet diagonal.
The other problem you might have is many game companies see TV out as just a cheap option to increase there cards benefits. This does not usually give the best results. This is why all the console gamers want to use there computer monitor for Xbox, PS2 and gamecube. When they have TVs larger then there PC monitors, to play there games.
I personally run a Gforce3. When I run my SVHS out to the projector. I get a terrible picture. The best TV out cards are ATI. They offer the best TV picture out there but will not give you as good a picture as your TV, and most only run at a max of 600x800 which is still good for a TV.
As for the Guns. You have to understand Canada does not allow a individual to own a handgun or rifle and I believe it's illegal to own anything other then a shotgun and this is to be used for hunting only. Or a person was not brought up with any type of firearm in the house. Ether for hunting or just plain target practice. I respect your concerned over people owning guns. You should respect people who are gun owners and are responsible. Personally, I have witnessed young police officers who have never owned a gun b4 joining the force and are the worst type of gun owners as far as safety and they have had organized and supervised training courses on how to hand a firearm. This however does not mean all police officers don't know how to handle a weapon. It just goes to show you that if they had a parent that taught them how to hand and respect a gun, they would know how to handle it much better.
I personally don't understand why anyone would play this game if they are against firearms in any respect. Most of the time jealousy is the hidden agenda behind a personal hatred. I am proud of my collection and like to show it off to other gun enthusiast. I also like to see what type of weapons (any not just firearms) others collect. Most of the time there is a really good and interesting story behind a gun collectors collection. You could learn a lot from a collector. I see on this board everyone is concerned with realism. If it was not for the owners of guns here on this board. You would never get an honest opinion on who a Thompson feels and sounds like. I for one could tell you that the game does a fine job at recreating the Thompson.
This is not meant to be a flame just wanted both side to see the other sides story.
