i actually own one for the worlds largest CRT's, taken from a CTX convention, had to crane lift it into my back field. i use it sometimes to watch star wars on and stuff, uses approx 25kw. depending on the brightness of the image...and can still get decent wide screen in letterbox.
Dont diss CRT's they have had decades of evolution.
you can see my crt on google map ....from space.....cause that's from where they take the pics from ....it looks like a one of those plastic green houses but its really just a wrapped up CTR monitor...

No dissing CRTs. I have two. One small VHS combo tv and an old Compaq Monitor. The combo tv I use for Megadrive, N64, Videos etc… and the monitor for mostly older games in 4:3. Recently though I’ve been thinking about picking up a flat screen 4:3 cos the Compaq is just too big for my desk.
p.s Sid James. I have a couple of Carry Ons on VHS.
Recently I bought Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on Blu-Ray for a good deal. It looked pretty spectacular. Especially the colors and I found myself looking at the scenes with a new eye.
pps For me the definitive star was is the 1997 Special Edition. I have that on VHS and that’s the one that really got me into Star Wars, although I had seen them before.
ppps I’m letting a 10 year old player Rust. And I say shit a lot. Am I a bad influence?

fair enough freqy, I just thought that you were environmentally conscious that's why I thought it strange for you to have a big old CRT when you could be doing your bit for the environment by using an LCD. You'd be doing your eyes a favour too.
have you played the Lego Star Wars/Indiana Jones etc. I love those games and how they satirise the films. The only annoying thing about them is the liberal use of the film score.
what I meant was is it bad to let a 10 year old boy play the PC game 'Rust'? I'm looking after some boys while their mum is at work. Anyway, probably not since they play Doom 4 and watch Pewdiepie all the time. But that's for another thread which I won't make.
I'm trying to quit tobacco. It's not going well...
Red Dwarf however...

my house is cold ..my crt heats it up i use all the energy.
also i do use a lcd thing for teh nets.. i m using it now.
dont know the gamer rust ...prob best to check the rating.
thought it was weird you were letting a vhs player rust. lol
smoking eat organic,treat yourself to electronics or other gear with the money you save.and swim if you can. tire your lungs out. the cravings come and go
you think it wont go ...but it does.....then your o.k ..then a craving will come again hardcore..do some push ups....go for a walk....the craving goes...
the cravings firstly increase in strength and frequency...but over time they become less and less. until you dont think about it at all ...unless you type about it on a forum.
never ever just take a drag......try nicorette patches? i didnt need them.
i would cut them in half too.

nice. I'm lucky I live in a moderate climate. It rarely gets too cold.
You give some great advice! Definitely some things I have considered. It's cheesy but I have done the push-ups! And I'm eating more and creatively.
I don’t want to never smoke again. Saying “I quit tobacco” is perhaps too extreme for me. I don’t think there is anything wrong with indulging in a little tobacco. It’s wonderful! Not smoking has obvious health benefits but I’m also concerned about the psychological habit. I feel unsatisfied and I feel by beating, or controlling this, perhaps I might feel better. And my lungs will be happier too! It’s worth a shot.

I found one drag takes away all the hard work. the real benefits come from not smoking at all
swimming was the only way i could give up. for a week or so.
I never think about it now.
but the cravings giving up ....i thought they would never go...but they do
even at its most intense..
the hardcore..."oh my god i could just go to the shop now and put an end to it,.."
that moment passes... and goes.....but will come back...
but eventually that rough sea of addiction settles.
you could treat it like an illness for a week, don’t go to work.
watch movies. play games. laugh as much as you can at your fav comedy’s
eat the best stuff you can get.
health suppliments.
asticjk youer head out the window breath deep fresh air.
stick a towel over your head ,.over a bowl of very hot water
breath in the steam. not too hot though.
anything
take the pain for a while, like a sickness. go ill for a week or two.
cause you will get through, easier with less stress as possible. less people nagging you.
eventually it all settles down. : P

I like the temptations freqy. I want people to smoke in front of me, to test my will power. I don't want to treat myself as a sickly patient or victim of the evil smoke. It's not crack, it's tobacco. It should be manageable.
So far so good. I'm still smoking but A LOT less. I've been doing it for 3 weeks. My weekly average is on decline. Every time I smoke I write it down. Each week I reduce my daily intake. You will think this is bad, but I'm on 6 a day this week. I use two smoke twice that much. I consider this progress. Quitting cold Turkey is not my style and won't work for me. So I'm trying a different way.
p.s was reading these posts. RE: Lego games, I should have said "parody" not satire.
And freqy let it be known that I love you. I have been reading you for years and years and have read a good percentage of your 12k posts.

yes its the digital box zoom function she has on as her preference, she watches programs and half the poepl are off the side of the screen, shes quite happy with it cos its a 4:3 CRT everything is letterboxed in normal so she doesnt like that

[–]RayPDaleyCovUK 1 point 1 day ago If present day Lister had his kidneys removed by the deranged droid then goes back in time to before that happens to steal past Listers kidneys & replace them with a chip, whose kidneys did the droid remove in order for present Lister to have no kidneys?
In the "first" timeline you see something (we're to assume they are kidneys) in a glass jar which then break which causes Lister to then have no kidneys.
permalinkembedparent [–]Scrivenerson 2 points 1 day ago That's what he is saying, the med bot didn't remove Lister's kidneys. Instead it was the crew did. It creates a self fulfilling paradox, a bit like how Lister is his own dad.

i didnt get that
he says both. I first thought they went back for one, but it still didnt make sense, to be honest i did try to slightly to work it out but it didn’t make sense ...my brain said ..ahhh sod it....and prob ate some sweet chewy things. and drank tea. ; p
but now you mention it. i fully awaken, and realise i dont get it.
kryten 'must' have made a mistake
so he went back in time, got the kidneys from younger Lister. moved forward in time,now they 'are' missing....then he transplants them in. LOL
thing is they wont revisit it in the next ep ....they vey rarely revisit a story,
like.....oh remember last week when we holly hopped... or remember last month when we were attacked by the curry monster. they very rarely do talk about previous stuff. it'll be a fresh story.
so this will be just a daft thing that happened. and be questioned at comic conventions. : )
