for some reason, Mass Effect 1 plays like crap on my PC now even though it was fine when it came out. Probably has something to do with the higher resolution.
Probably. There is a lot of post-processing that is affected by pixel amount.
I've got to fucking share this, because it's awesome... I don't usually brag about cool stuff, but in this case I will.
So I get home last night, knowing that my wife was going to buy ME2 so we could play it. Well, when I get home, I see it lying on the coffee table, open, ready to go, with the Cerberus network code already removed and laid out.
Then I go into the kitchen to see that she's got my booze sitting out, with a rocks glass, towel, plate, lime, knife, ice, the whole package, all I have to do is pour the drink.
So we get some good take out, and play for about six hours. It's getting late and I have to work the next day, and we start saving and getting to a stopping point. Then she says.
Wife: You know, I love the new game, but the text is harder to read now, as is the map. Also, the backgrounds are really pretty but it's just hard to see everything.
Me: Exactly, it's like the games now are made expecting you to have a high def tv.
Wife: (thinks for about ten minutes, then right as I'm getting ready to go to bed) Listen, we've got tax refunds coming in, and we've saved plenty of cash lately, and I got an extra $600 from that bonus paycheck, and we've got $200 in Target gift cards, and honeymoon money. Why don't you go out tomorrow and get us an LCD tv? How big can we go.
Me: (excited) Well, the opening is 45 inches, but with the wii I was thinking mroe like a 42 inch, so probably 40.
Wife: (kisses me before going to be) don't short size me... get the 42, it's bigger. Night.
Seriously, this is the woman that, when we met, had a 20 inch tube tv as her living room entertainment. And last night she sat out in the living room playing with her laptop, which she used to never take off the desk, sending NPH messages on twitter.

Rather than speculate as to how this might go horribly wrong, I'm just going to say that this is awesome and I'm very happy for you.

You have chosen wisely.
Definitely. A woman who understands The TV is always a keeper.

I wonder if your space hamster can somehow get sucked through a trans-dimensional hole and end up in the forgotten realms.

Also, Is it wrong that after I get the TV I want to go out to petco, get a 20 gallon aquarium, and a hamster, then write space hamster on the aquarium and put it in the bedroom?

Yes.
Now you're just a creep.
Btw, Target has a 55" TV on sale for $1800 this week.

And Princess Leia is your sister!
Well that's just improbable.
this movie is amazing
And the Empire is defeated by a bunch of Ewoks!
Thus explaining why Justin is a furry.
I feel small.

And as a child, I won a ticket to visit a Chocolate Factory!
