The real reason is that you can't afford an HDTV right now, and that's fine, but when you do get one, you can get free HD over the air with an antenna, or hook up your computer with a VGA cable and watch a 720p rip. Either one will make you realize that HD is awesome. You're still in good company: ICJ has an arcade in his basement but still doesn't have an HDTV. He can't even decipher the on-screen instructions in his games, but that's not motivating him.


It won't be long! I bought a new computer that ought to be here next week, whenever Newegg decides I deserve it. I really like that I'll be able to use a new screen for TV and the 360 and maybe even the new PC. I can get a lot of entertainment out of a small amount of pixels and I am happy to have lived that life. There are 57,344 pixels total in Arkanoid, at 224x256, but it's 2010 now, baby. And when I get an HDTV, the first game I'm playing is Arkanoid Live, where there will be more pixels on the screen displaying 1P's score than in the entire original production.

I've also given up on the latency issue because Erik put a samuari sword into Left4Dead2. I no longer have to worry about hardware making me a shitty player, when a trackball-friendly weapon has been included to make me a useful one.


the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!
