It might seem like a bit creepy but I like to stop by graveyards sometimes and read the inscriptions and see the dates. There is alot of history packed into one place

Well, here we are.



It's...something.  It's partway there.  A simulacrum, if you will.  It's just a shell (albeit, finely crafted) for any mass-market TV you can grab.  It has the look, but not the buttons, so dearly important to me.  And I'm fairly sure it uses the speakers built into the regular TV, with nothing behind that woven cloth.

On the other hand, here is something that has the controls, and enough of the style to satisfy me.  At one-fifth the price of the functionless fancy case, I'd consider it.  Of course, it's not going to have dials for picture quality, which are part of the fun for me, but not as strictly necessary.



Unfortunately, it's only available in Korea.  Some westerner did manage to get a hold of one, and provided the only review for it on Amazon, deeming it flimsy and poorly designed (although they did not go into specifics about the latter.)

Any other info is proving difficult to come by.

I like collecting old board games and RPG games, I have nearly the entire collection of TMNT and Other Strangeness and the DC Universe Roleplaying game.

Unfortunately, I had to put my hobby on hiatus for financial reasons.

One day, I would like to have a whole shelf full of board games. By then I'll prolly have kids of my own

@echidna: Cool! I like old board games myself, though I don't have a collection of one. I do like reading about the history and creative influences of board games. Even set to developing one myself, which went nowhere of course (but which WILL be playable online when Moudy has finished it for me)

@shakin: That second set is very cool. I like the retro look of it, though I would rather see a late 80's style console set... like this one:


Though, I would prefer it have dials as opposed to buttons like the above television. This one would also be acceptable:

You love this signature.

Yeah, those are good! 

I still can't find a picture online of my favorite control scheme.  I knew it was rare, since I have no such sets in my current collection, but it's looking more and more completely unique.  Figures!

Honestly I enjoy abandoned buildings. When they are in good condition it's like a time capsule that you can walk into. Frozen in time.

I have a tv just like that one, but it hasn't been used since i we moved in 2010.

Also, about abandoned buildings. There's a channel on youtube where this guy goes to all different abandoned buildings, theme parks and places. It's cool, you should check it out. http://youtu.be/T7_CychOtto

I like abandoned buildings too.  There's something exciting and beautiful about them.

One time I went to an old asylum with some friends.  Underground tunnels led us to a different building.  We didn't even realize they were underground.  We got very lost.  The cops were waiting for us when we got out.  Fortunately they were nice and didn't ticket us or worse.
