Kneel Before Zod


After seven years of not having a television to call my own, I've jumped back into the fray. Behold the beauty of the Samsung 32" LCD Enthrall-atron 5000 and the Onkyo Cacophonator X-3.14. I also copped a nice little upscaling DVD player (not sold on Blu-Ray or HD just yet). I finished off my set-up with a nice selection of speakers and a subwoofer after doing some research on an A/V forum (Bose is apparently a very despised brand).

Initial tests indicate that this thing will rock even the most jaded eyes and ears. People complain about living in the hood, but one of the unmentioned benefits is that your neighbors are usually loud and this remains true during all hours of the day and night. Yes, when you want to just get some good sleep after coming home from a hard workday, it can be frustrating to hear somebody blaring the reggae version of "This Is Why I'm Hot" out of a system that N.O.R.E. would describe as "garbation" roughly ten times straight. However that also means you won't feel guilty for watching Casino Royale with the volume set high enough to fill an AMC stadium-seating theater at 2am on a Wednesday.

Yeah, I'll see if it becomes a problem in the winter. Until then, I'm rocking the frack out.
