Develop Jury: Natal's promise | Game development | Features by Develop

Watching TV. Oh the Horror!

Sometimes life throws you curved balls.

If this is such a case or not, I'll leave unsaid, but it is a strange situation we find ourselves in. We just moved into a furnished apartment with a TV from the previous century. Probably not even from the last decade of that century. It refuses to show colors using the A/V connector for my Xbox 360.

As a result, my wife and I are forced to actually watch TV on the TV. Oh the Horror! I've forgotten how bad broadcast TV was. With everything available on demand, I think back on how it was in the days before gaming & internet. Interactivity and on-demand is the only way to roll.

The shipping company that are the guardians of our own TV called today and told us it would only be a few more days until it arrives. That's a very good thing. I don't think I could survive broadcast TV for much longer.
