Plasma TV
Highcard, Jan 13 2010
So I have been waiting and waiting for tvs to actually be worth it quality to money ratio only to be always disappointed more with the quality than anything else. For the last 4 years not much has really happened in the market of LCD and Plasma, even if you see all that shit on LED edgelite craptastic blacks or bs NEOPDP wannabe Pioneer Kuro. So anyways, the problem has always been that the only TV in the entire market which is worth even a $ of your money was the Kuro but was so overpriced even then it was not an option for 99.9% of people. A sad day came in 2008 when Pioneer died and so died the only TV of substance.
2009 saw the first time where other companies on paper tried to finally do what Pioneer always did and I was hopeful. There was a point where I almost bought a Panasonic because they bought up all Pioneer industry secrets and tech and I thought those techs were being realized in the new products--LAWL. Nope, panasonic instead has fucked everyone and is laughing all the way to the bank. Right now there is a surgence in a brand new phenomenon in the plasma TV known as Black level doubling. Basically all the people who bought expensive, rich dark black plasmas are seeing their blacks change to as shitty as LCD computer monitors within 200-1000hours of use. How the fuck is that happening, well it has to do with voltage changes. As the tv ages the voltage changes are supposed to aid in aging and produce better colours and contrast for a longer time. Too bad the blacks are getting raped somehow by this and at this point no company (it is starting to be noticed in Samsungs too) have any fix.
Anyways this is my vent because I found this news out today and was sad because last year I almost bought the new G15s now only to see a year later I would have regretted it. Now seeing the new tvs at CES 2010, I can't trust being a first adopter to the new generation because it is obvious there is no way I can be assured of long term quality. Oh well, another 9 months+ of waiting for me until there are some long term tests done.
Aside-
LCD is still shittier than Plasma, more expensive, has more issues and are lower quality

"COLUMBIA, S.C. - A South Carolina priest missed the $1 million top prize in a poker tournament to be televised this weekend but he won $100,000 for his church and he hopes his participation gives viewers a "fun twist" on their perceptions of the priesthood."

Back to poker grind
Highcard, Nov 06 2009
So I never play much poker each month, so I decided to buy a new computer and use it strictly for poker. I hope it makes me play more since it is specifically a poker station and not some place where I will fool around on msn, internet. GL Me.
The comp is overkill too, one of those i7s 860 with 8gig ram, yada yada anyways I hope crush.
Liberte is back on Earth soon and back to poker?
Highcard, Oct 06 2009
So I was reading this article about Guy, says he will be back October 11th. He spent $35 million and a lot of time training/preparing + divorce. I am just wondering if people think he will be hitting up the HSgames or does this Space shit seem to be his new distraction from poker

I hope he comes back to online poker but I don't know why since I don't even play high enough to be rewarded by it.
