I am finally fulfilling a life long quest and am getting a projector.
Projector-less-@pap is not fussed about whacking loads down on one, so I have plumped for a rather modest arrangement which will still be better than anything Iāve ever had. I did insist on full HD and a good lamp.
I suspect the Babylon5 re-review may begin in earnest.
For those old 8mm adult art movies. Private viewings by appointment in the newly cleared garage?
Perhaps, once Iāve gotten through all the classic stuff I want to watch first. Itāll also be used for gaming.
The fam have resisted this option for the living room but have relented on the option if I keep it elsewhere. I know whatās going to happen. Theyāll watch one film in the garden and will be asking for their own.

Or wondering if itās worth dusting down the old āwhat the butler sawā machine?
He was in it.

Not meā¦it was Chambers. 
So the projector has arrived. The screen Iāve got is impractically large, so thatāll be the garden screen and Iāve got another one on order. In the meantime, I just threw an image onto a wall.
The missus is more impressed than sheās letting on. Lastbornās boyf walked in as I was playing OutRun and just said āfuck offā. Think this might have been at 70-80 inches.
Itās fucking ridiculous and Iām loving it.

Nice of you to give him the day off to play for Arsenal.
Todayās Sunday, he would have had to pay him double bubble for working today.

If onlyā¦thatās Chambersā nephew playing for The Arse.
My wife got me a projector and screen as my main present for Christmas. It is total shit. She spent quite a bit on the screen and virtually nothing on the projector. Itās an LED projector thereās not even a wireless connection to the projector. I havenāt even bothered to set it up and flat out refused to use it when my wife asked me to set it up on Christmas day. Which made me look like a right cunt, but frankly her thoughtlessness was staggering. This is Amazonās fault really. So much shit on that website and no one is counting the full collateral damage caused by that company.
Maybe pass this on to the Mrs?

I detest Amazon, and never use them unless I need a product that I can only source there. However, my disabled mother buys loads of stuff from them, so Iām familiar with them. The one upside of dealing with this bunch of venal avaricious cunts is their return policy; if youāre that disappointed with the gift your wife bought you itās a very straightforward process to return it.

I have had nothing but hassle with their returns policy. If something goes wrong with the return, try getting your problem escalated to someone who can resolve the problem.
My one does have wireless and bluetooth connectivity but in truth Iām mostly using HDMI as an input source.
Iām watching films that I never saw at the cinema. There are movies that only properly work on a big screen.
There is nothing wrong with that but it just doesnāt suit my lifestyle.
Whatās this ālifestyleā concept you speak of?
Iāve forgotten what it is.
I will say though that HDMI is a cable reality.

My chosen lifestyle is digital nomad trapped in a leaky Victorian terrace.
Iām scared of needles, do they do special cannulas to get the best HDMI cable reality experience?
