first time playing since 2006...so many questions

[VolinBrazil]

thanks for the replies re: cables. But what I meant to ask was, does the type of HDMI cable matter? or just any run of the mill type of HDMI cable is fine?

Any run of the mill HDMI cable is fine. Get the cheapest one you can (ordering online is a good way to do that). Those HDMI Monster cables and other brands you see at Best Buy and Chain stores are a complete rip off and offer no difference in quality whatsoever.

Amazon makes their own cables and I run them for everything (laptop -> TV, blu-ray -> TV, Xbox -> TV) and they work perfectly. Incredibly cheap too!

awesome thanks!

one more question (probably not the last)

I have been reading about the slider sets and patches, is the game just horrible with out using them? I was reading the thread about SEClites and I think I will use them, but I wonder if it will be too difficult for me.

thanks in advance!

The only way to know if they'll be too difficult for you is to play them for a few games and find out, sliders aren't terribly hard to put and change so if they were, you could always try some different ones.

getting electronics shipped to where I live is a pain as import taxes are high. I can buy some cables here though. actually bought the game online and had it mailed to my dad. he is going to tuck it into a book and mail it to me. all because of taxes!

oh yeah, just from reading the forum over the last 2 weeks it seems like there are so many differences and customization to this version of the game. lord I am excited!
