    USA Network had a real nice era of comfy procedural shows with Monk, Psych and White Collar. Easy to come back to but not demanding on the brain. Maybe I should try Burn Notice and Royal Pains... They were of the era.

    Another title I realize I was a shit at as a kid and only had played though like the first two levels despite owning it since around release. Finally got around to playing through the entire thing on the Vita via the GoW Collection. Plays very well on the handheld and I was surprised how well they adapted the buttons to fit the touch screen device. Biggest gripe is that it got a bit repetitive at times and the camera sucked for platforming. But the story was entertaining and the whole thing oozes it's own style. Also boobs, lots of boobs.

    So I bought a little cargo van two months ago and been slowly converting it into a mini RV-like vehicle. Been nice going up to the mountains and having a quick, dry place to crash in between canoe tripping through the woods. I honestly don't know why not everyone has a van. It's so convenient if I feel like going anywhere I just hop in the van and go. All my gear is always packed and never gotta worry about getting a hotel or finding an official camping spot. It's also been fun just figuring out the flow of staying in the van. What I actually need, where I should organize it, what I want add.....nice project to keep my mind busy. Just been using the PSVita for gaming in the van so far but maybe I'll setup a real rig. Could possibly see myself going full time van life but I'm not jumping into it just yet.

So I will leave him this backhanded complement where I admit that his hobby sounds fantastic and that anyone would be lucky to be kidnapped with his van. (oh god and the canoe trip through the woods through actual not fake nature! *hnnnnng!*)

But I have to use my holiday days to look after Iz on school holidays, and Claire has to use hers the previous/following week so we're all covered. Maybe in 15 years I can get me a van.

So I've edited this list to reflect current opinions... some Pixar is probably going to usurp the og stuff but want to watch it all with fresh eyes again

    I can't believe I totally forgot the PS3 could output component and play PS1 discs with smoothing. Been jumping through hoops trying to get things on my CRT and it was right there all along.

      Editing … Oh yeah. The og ps3 could do that indeed. I just use my ps2. I don't care about the ugly. On a related note I recently got another wii for cheap but when I got it home I saw it had no gamcube ports..... Why? That's the stupidest thing you could do. It looks like the regular wii as well so it's easy to be fooled.

      Editing … Yea, I played Resident Evil Director's Cut on the PS5 which had some smoothing. Then I put up RE2 on an emulator and it looked like garbage cause my hardware tanks anytime I try to use shaders and such...so then I thought oh I have a PSOne Classic version of RE2 on my PS3 but that also look like crap on the QLED. So then I just bought the PS1 game off Ebay to play it on the CRT via original PS1. Which I'm currently doing... but I could've just played the PSOne classic on the PS3 on the CRT which looks great. One day I hope to have all my systems setup and ready to play....but currently I do a lot of swapping.

      Editing … There still isn't a true replacement for crt's. Games that were made in that era just look best on a crt. I have 2 tv's on rolling carts. one is a crt. I think the crt has an n64, snes and nes hooked up right now. I played vagrant story on my flat-screen and it was pretty ugly compared to the way it looks on crt but I was too lazy to roll over the fat tv so I just let the game be ugly. Still very pretty game at the core. I refuse to finish earthbound on anything else than my crt though. I want the game to fry my eyes. That's the only authentic experience.
