Two questions (for the thread count of one)

First thing, is that I noticed on http://www.esrb.org/ratings/ratings_guide.jsp that one of the possible ratings that can be slapped onto a game is:
Simulated Gambling - Player can gamble without betting or wagering real cash or currency
I'm curious as to why New Vegas didn't have this on there. I'm not a big fan of ESRB, but it seems odd that they didn't add this one.

Secondly, I received an HDTV for Christmas (yay me! Only 19 inches, but since my room is the size of a prison cell....I digress). I was in the middle of Dead Money at the time and hooked up my 360 to the TV. I set the 360 to 1080p (the only setting that worked besides 480p) and my Black Level to extended. Since those changes the number of graphics glitches have been through the [censored] roof. Did I set something wrong? The only other game I played with these settings was Black Ops and it was fine, beautiful even. NV looks better too, but [censored]'s falling through the floor, and I can't see what's just at the bottom of a staircase, and none of this happened before. I also had just recently

triggered the gala event.
Are there graphics glitches associated with that?

Probably because the higher settings make the game run slower on the system, so it's performance gets reduced.

My reliable 10 year old TV has only made it freeze a couple of times. :)

Hmm.. try putting it to 480?

Personally I only recently got HD, so I don't really understand what all the different options mean, there's like 1080p 1080i etc. How they expect ordinary people to know the difference between an i and a p is beyond me :P

I only had one option for my HD screen, so I keep it at that and it works fine.

And just for P.E.A.C.H. ......... LOL. :) :) :)
