Your pal Pirate Bay is the kind of friend who'll sell you a pair of speakers that he "found" somewhere and then leaves you in the lurch when the cops come a'knocking, I'd avoid him were I in your shoes. :)

I'm not wholly sure that there are any 102 inch plasmas in production yet--although I recall seeing something about that stupidly big at last year's CES--but really, any TV big enough to mess with your brain's perception of motion would do. And doesn't everyone have a friend whose awesome tech you mercilessly take advantage of because you can't afford cool stuff yourself? I know I've always had one, since back in the day when there was a kid on my block who had a NES when no one else did. :D

Ah, well then. May I recommend meatspace, then? It's like an MMO with no subscription fees and extraordinary graphics but the worst gameplay mechanic you've ever seen. As far as I can tell, it's all grinding with no loot drops, although I've noticed that a lot of players seem to get better gear than I do for much less effort.

Clearly, the GM's suck.

:D

Really? I've never bothered with those, which may be why I'm finding level progression so hard.

My apologies, by the way, for continuing the derailment of your thread. I'm a bad role model. >.>
