After many years of thinking about it, I've begun to play the guitar. Having just started I'm not good at it, but I find I really enjoy it anyway. There's something relaxing about it.

I'm thinking about splurging and getting a SCART transcoder for my game systems, but I don't know if it's worth it. Can anyone weigh in on this?

What type of TV do you use and what do you plan to transcode to?

I only have standard def CRT tvs. The difference between S-Video and component is definitely noticeable on them, but it isn't worth spending the money on a converter for the systems that can't output component IMO.

Granted I was off Thursday and Friday last week, but I've played 40 hours of Fallout NV since I started last Thursday. :shock:

My my, someone's addicted. :lol:

Not that I have any room to talk of course. I did the same thing with Skyrim and many other games besides.

I got a lot of mileage out of the "1-800-BLONDE-IQ" test joke back in the day. It worked on at least two levels...
