My buddy bought that, at the time, insanely overpriced Sony widescreen Bravia CRT so he could sit on his ass and play Everquest all day and become a hermit. He almost lost his leg due to the sedentary behavior that game put him in. He also lost his job etc... blah blah blah.
Evercrack was real.
I don't even think they sold those in Canada. I had a Bravia CRT at that time too but 4:3.
