Man you really chose some poor choice of words. Trying to fit in here like this wasn't going to win you any points with the senior members. Well have fun going to other forums and bitching about how mean those people on ng.com were to you.

My Pocket Color Finally Came back from Repairs.

- Stronger Speaker
- Glass Screen to replace the scratched one
- Thumb Stick Tightened & Re-Adjusted
- Frontlight Shaved Down & Readjusted so it doesn't cut off bottom of screen
- Most of the dust from last mod removed, & angle of screen Fixed

That looks great! Who repaired it for you? I'd love to get a glass screen for my NGPC. I love the glass lenses I have for my various Gameboys.

What interests me most is their 0-100 approach to a little horseplay. I guess it doesn't take much to get under some peoples skin.

I just don't understand Iggy Pops thinking here...

...This new generation of "members" seem to have no common sense...

The sense of "ME ME ME... entitlement..."... has reached a level where I am becoming mental health advisor to these cunts...

It was simple really... build up enough posts and creds to achieve full membership... along the way... avoid one of the FOUR people who you shouldn't piss off...

Calling one of them a "CHINKY"... racial stereotype is not going to go down well...

Working player + 100 discs.

I've already got a few players, but there are several movies in that stack I don't have.
Wow. I'm not in the whole CED/VHD business yet, but I've done some serious reading and research on it. Pretty awesome stuff, I certainly can understand the appeal of these.

that looks legit! Like Chopstick I'd be interested in who did the work and where you got the glass screen...

In 1982 I can understand the appeal. In 2017? Nope.

Beyond the hipster fagits that usually attach themselves to collecting these, those old CED/VHD units have an interesting history. The folks at the time tried to overcome the various tech limitations of the day in different ways.

So personally I'd say the appeal is more learning about that history and the inner workings of the players and videodiscs, rather than the watching of grainy low res material.
Especially nowadays most of those players have one or other mechanical issue. Don't you get satisfaction in repairing something? Getting it operational again. This is no different. That's also part of it.

Out of those two (CED and VHD) I'd say VHD was the better tech for a few reasons including the fact that with CED you almost have to have a spare player to "run-in" most videodiscs before attempting to view them. That's because any dust particle or whatever that sits in the grooves where the stylus is attempting to read the disc, will make the video skip. This is a common nuisance with that format.

It takes buying 100s of CEDs to learn the inner workings?

Fagit hipster shit.

There is really no practical reason to own them form any technical imaginable standpoint. Anything released on them is inferior in quality to later releases. Everything released was chopped down for TV viewing and there are no wide screen versions. Most discs have mono sound, a few of the later ones were released or re-released with stereo sound.

I've been collecting up movie media for a long time. I'm sure it's some minor form of mental condition something along the lines of a sensitivity to ephemera.

Televisions and home media hit me in some soft spot. I collect old TV sets and outdated media formats and equipment.

CEDs I have a soft spot for because they were just so darn crappy and yet an amazing technical work of art. Also, the disc cases are cool with their movie poster art and they look good on a shelf.

Same thing with other media I collect. It puts a smile on my face to look over and see a laserdisc copy of Stuff Stephanie in the Incinerator, or beta cassette of Gymkata.

Maybe I'll start making youtube videos about the stuff. Could do a show about a guy who opened a video store in an old bomb shelter and accidentally survived the apocalypse, now all his customers are mutants and barbarians who never rewind the tapes.
