Your comment made me step back a minute, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I tend to agree with your assessment after looking at this scenario more closely. I'm no fan of Microsoft but Activision isn't exactly a great studio. Only time will tell!
PDA - HP ipaq, it ran windows CE and it was dope. I was in middle school and used it to look at boobies at night. I don't know how I convinced my parents to get it for me because it wasn't cheap.
nope, just VCR and eventually DVR
I don't know what webtv is
no 3d tv, that was a fad
rpi - yes, several, gen 1 and up
internet radio? I used Pandora but I didn't have a dedicated device for it.
In my experience, no, that's not a typical activity. I'm not passing judgement, but perhaps there's a compromise somewhere. Perhaps a smart home might be a way to funnel your energy into something your wife might appreciate?
Thank you, and for the love of god do not browse if you don't like extreme gore. I made the mistake so you don't have to.
