I can upload a cell phone video of an old VHS tape playing on a high-def television.
Oh, this is a tangent on a tangent on a tangent about to happen:
There's something poetic about this sentence. Like it describes the modern age in some way I can't put my finger on.
Also...
I tried to play an Atari 7800 on a 70-inch screen. Each pixel is like three inches wide. I almost had a seizure playing Pitfall. Between the oversized graphics and the Tarzan-like sounds blasting through stereo speakers as I swung over the black tarpits or the blips as I jumped from crocodile head to crocodile head, it was an overwhelming amount of Atari.
The entire entertainment system was digitally screaming, "I WASN'T MADE FOR THIS! SENSORY OVERLOAD! I NEED TO BE PLAYED ON A FUZZY ZENITH CONSOLE WITH BURLED WOOD SURROUNDING ME!I WASN'T MADE FOR THESE TIMES!"
You may now resume your regularly scheduled conversation.
