"5. Changing The PC’s Bootup Routine"

Um. "Used to"? I still have a custom X session for gaming.

"2. There Not Being A Single Good Movie Tie-In Whatsoever"

Apart from the Star Wars arcade cabinet.

I will agree with the top one ("Actually Getting Overwhelmingly Excited
Over New Stuff"), though. I've seen that GTAV comparison video on
YouTube. The PS4, XBOne, and PC versions are the f$%&in' *same*, to any
reasonable or rational degree. And honestly, they're not that much
better than the legacy console versions. I mean, not *£300* better.
The only thing that even remotely resembles the sort of leaps in
technology we used to see is Oculus Rift (and now Valve's knock-off).
And even that's just strapping a couple of screens to your face, when
it comes down to it.
