R.I.P. my TV (2006-2017)

You could say that 11 years is a really good run for a TV, and you're right. You could say that I shouldn't be so attached to inanimate objects, but you're an asshole if you do.

This is my first TV that has actually broken in my care. My other two were replaced as Christmas presents when I was 10 and 13. Now I'm 24, and mourning a TV that has been with me for longer than I've known anyone here.
This TV was the one I first played countless classics on; Rock Band 2, The Witcher III, Red Dead Redemption, the final Tony Hawk game (Proving Ground), whatever. I played games I was fucking HYPED for, like GTA V, KH2Final Mix, MGSV (ugh), etc.

I mean, yeah, I could take all 300+ pounds of it to a repair shop and get the broken HDMI plug/outlet/whatever you call it fixed, but then the tubes'll go, the speakers, whatever.
My main regret is that I can't play Kingdom Hearts III on that TV. THAT would have been a send-off.



When I returned to my room after lugging it out to the garage, the empty TV stand hit me like a truck. I can only imagine how I'll feel when one of my parents dies if I take a TV's death this hard
I was writing some game reviews that I started on the old TV, and I'm going to keep the complaints that the HUD won't scale down, even though it's irrelevant with whatever replacement I end up with.
