    Hugh Jackman: Logan

    Just got back from seeing Logan, and it was fucking fantastic. Wolverine absolutely deserved a good R movie before Jackman moved on, and it would be hard to beat this one.

    Home Theater/Game Room Thread

    I've been spending a lot of time looking at sound bars and reasonably priced stereo equipment lately as well. I listened to that Klipsch sound bar as well as most of the other highly rated ones. Basically by the time a soundbar doesn't sound like shit compared to mediocre speakers, you're...

    I'm at a point where I'm strongly considering getting a 4K TV, but I don't really want to have to spend $1500 for a good one like the KS8000. If my company participated in EPP or if the EPP invitation loophole still existed, I'd probably have to jump in on the deal for $1080... The mediocre (in...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    I just got an email from Comcast highlighting the amazing new Terabyte Internet Experience. ...and by that, they mean they are enforcing caps now. It's $10 for 50GB or we can pay an extra $50/month for unlimited data. I'm not at the cap, but it still bothers me that they are doing this. I...

    Virtual Reality

    Unless you need the PC for something else in the meantime, don't buy parts until you're ready to get everything (video card and Vive). Prices always go down. New things always come out.

    Is anyone still playing this, or has it basically died down?

    Laptop Computers

    How long has it been? Usually water will dry up over time and everything works fine. Just make sure you don't use it until it's had plenty of time to dry. It's a pain in the ass to take laptops apart and make repairs, but it's definitely doable. Finding replacement parts can be a challenge...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    Reading this inspired me to actually look at my router's usage stats. I'm surprisingly close to 300GB for December, and I'd say my girlfriend and I don't stream nearly as much as most people. I don't torrent either. I don't know how a house with a full family would be able to stay below the cap.

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    Does anyone have an extra CBT key? *edit* Nevermind. Found one on Reddit.

    It's generally best to get a Chromecast/Roku/Apple TV/Fire to go with a TV rather than worrying about the TV's apps. They inevitably fall behind (old interface designs, takes forever for new things to come out) and you might find yourself paying a large premium for Samsung apps or something like...

    Top Box Office movie on your birthday

    Ghostbusters. I saw that when I was pretty young and the Terror Dogs gave me nightmares for quite some time. I still remember hiding at the top of the basement stairs and peeking at the TV through the gap near the door hinges as I watched the scary parts. I still loved the movie though. I...
