Playing Halo On A Humungous TV

Playing Halo On A Humungous TV

Halo 3 to be precise and on a TV bigger than your house. That's got to be worth a look.


The screen at the Dallas Cowboys new stadium is big, and I don't mean 50" big, I mean over eleven thousand square feet big. The screen measures 72' x 160', which is around 176' on the diagonal or 2100" if you prefer, and made up of thousands of LEDs. So what do you think the best use for a TV the size of four tennis courts is?

That's right, videogames. Specifically Halo 3 and Gears of War 2.

What's odd about this story though isn't the fact that someone played games on that monstrous screen, it's who played them. Something like this you'd expect to come from some gaming website or a Texas based developer trying to drum up some publicity. It's certainly not something you'd expect from the director of Jonas Brothers videos. Steve Fantone took a little time away from concert preparations to get some giant gaming done, and even to make a the above YouTube video.

Just goes to show, anyone could be a gamer these days.

This is something I want, providing I demolish my entire street to make room for it.

If only it was cool and useful. And maybe a game with controversial design.

Sacrifices must be made.

Damn...give me that TV and prototype, then it's awesomesauce =D

How many souls do I have to sell to get that?

If it were a chair, it'd be impractical. If it were a phone, it'd be impractical. But this is just...awesome.

I, for one, welcome street-sized armchairs.

It's just like I said - everyone plays Halo/Gears.
Even people who direct videos for Satan.

When did people start directing videos for you Maxi?
Wait, why did I re-open this kill zone >.>

bring me the soul of an innocent for each inch and ye shall recieve your prize in 10 to 12 working days.

I'd be much more impressed if they were playing the original Super Mario Bros.

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

Sorry, I meant Satan's pre-teen girl recruiters.

That makes a bit more sense really. But still getting Satan confused with his pre-teen girl recruiters is shocking Max.

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

I wasn't confused, I just didn't want to type all that out.

Also that is a ridiculously large screen.
Seriously.

Aha, but then you had to type all of that out again after it >.> and yeah but it would kick ass to own such a screen.

I literally just stumbled upon this and was going to read it but decided to look at this post first. That is an awesome thing, just hope you don't make a mistake (or else everyone will see it and you'll be embarrassed).

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

I hoped nobody would question it.

True, I didn't question it though, I was just calling you Satan at first
