I've always been a sound buff. Eversince I was little, I've followed the next sound trend. Didn't like to game without the best possible sound. Then came along Dramcast, VGA output for games.. WHAT?!? Loved it!!! So the Dreamcast is dead.. what do you mean PS2/Gamecube/Xbox can't put out over VGA?! lost interest in gaming for a few years. HDTVs came out... Dude, Xbox graphics on HDTV pulled me back. Sure gamecube and PS2 can put out over component too, which wasn't really advertised and had to research to get the hookups. But Xbox always had the bettergraphics in multi-plat games. I became a sound and graphics whore. Always needed the best sound and video in movies and games.
Yet, to this day.. I'm the only one that cared about sound, among my friends and family.
