Here is the signal flow diagram I'm planning for a gaming room setup. I'm planning on using a Panasonic TX-P42U30B Plasma as the main TV. In the current setup I'm planning on bypassing the Retrotink 4k for simplicity. Will I be missing out on much? Will things like the PS3 benefit much if I route them into the Retrotink 4K first? I know some of the consoles here often run at 720p and below, I'm wondering if I should have them go through the think because of this.

I know I can easily move the 4K earlier in the chain but I'm hoping to avoid it so my daughter and wife don't have to faff with changing inputs on it. The signal flow above uses the SVS auto profile switching to make everything just about automatic.

We know that the protagonist of DQ XII was Toriyama's final hero design. Do we know when production started on Withered World though? Given how long games take to make now - and that Withered World releases this December - is there any chance Toriyama contributed early concept art?

I don't really know how involved he was in the Monsters series, has anyone ever come across interviews or other information that talks about this? If these characters were designed by another artist then I wonder who, it would be great to know.

(obviously Bianca and Nera are from DQV, just wondering about this particular iteration of them)

I remember these being announced as part of the "first LBP merch". If memory serves, this guy got kicked into the second wave which had a lower production run than the first wave.

The dragon headdress is an absolutely iconic part of LBP to me. I remember it from the early game previews that were shown on TV (yep, YouTube was around but hadn't fully established itself yet) and the trailers. As soon as I got the game on launch day, all I wanted to know was where to get the headdress and it became my default outfit after that.

I was working in a game shop when these came out; we got plenty of the others (especially the afro one, never saw anyone buy the poor afro guy) but we never stocked this one. I've been hunting and trying to convince myself to pick it up ever since.

Finally pulled the trigger and found a store in Canada willing to ship over to the UK. I paid way too much but he'll be cherished forever.

Anyone else pick these up when they came out?
