So, I was studying on how certain displays work, and found something interesting. The CRT- Recruit is named quite humorously after the old style of television using the Cathode Ray Tube, otherwise known as CRT. Just a fun fact, and made me facepalm when I realized it.

This is actually a common misconception about the Recruit. The real origin is that Khang Le was a certified respiratory therapist before his stint at ADH, and he decided to sneak in a reference to his former occupation as an in-joke with the rest of the former devs.

Oh brother.  I mean, "I know the feeling when I have long been oblivious to something that's staring me right in the face...", but jeesh.

 

I also chuckle when people keep saying the CRT is a microwave oven.  DOH.

Now I feel old. First impression: "holy fuzzy bunny! It's a walking TV armed to the teeth!"

I like going against the best of any game I play. Helps you in the long run n motivates u to do more. Always room for improvement not failure

Just with the elite skin. The elite skin transforms the CRT from a TV to a washing machine.

As you know I'm rocking a CRT monitor until next week... It's clear, just not ideal...

CRT looks more like a dishwashing machine than a tube television. Great mech, in spite of that.

Seems like a major part of my history is so ancient, that people playing Hawken find it incomprehensible. :sad: I'm not that old.

I've always lovingly referred to it as "the bread box," though; usually not around others because it might be confusing.
