    Breaking Bad

    Just watched it and I was more upset with the Huell manipulation scene than the gunfight. It was ridiculous that they opened fire and nobody was hurt (yet), but I thought it was more ridiculous that a whole bunch of made up stories about fake cellphone conversations and fake pictures of dead...

    2013 NFL Season

    From what I've read on slickdeals, you can only be logged in on one device at a time. I bought the Madden 25 special as well because it is an amazing deal even if you can only view over game at a time

    DOTA 2

    I'm posting here without issues but I keep getting dropped from our inhouse game. Every time i reconnect the disconnection countdown starts.

    I meant the Transformer series. Also the Nexus 7 is so responsive it's more responsive than the Nexus 7!

    Tablets

    +1, no reason to get any 7 inch android tablet besides the nexus 7. I have a first gen nexus 7 and it's still smoother and more responsive than anything from Samsung, Asus, etc.

    Dredd 2 (2026 Confirmed!)

    Just saw it on Netflix. I have zero complaints - it's exactly what it should be. Awesome movie.

    DOTA 2

    Agreed. Didn't dxd have a forfeit command back in dota 1? That ended up ruining more games than it helped. When I suggested just forfeiting against timbersaw i thought my sarcasm was clear enough. Maybe this is better: if you are against timber, just uninstall dota. It's the only true counter...

    DOTA 2

    You're right, timbersaw is an unstoppable force and has no counter. Just abandon the lane when you see him, or better yet, forfeit.

    DOTA 2

    He fades badly lategame, his damage is completely nullified by a bkb (he can't even attack while his chakram is out), and he has no disable. He only seems invulnerable when he is allowed to disengage and regen, or when it's the laning phase and he has some points in armor to completely nullify...

    Kick-Ass 2 trailer

    I enjoyed it, though it was definitely weaker than Kick-Ass 1. The ending came about very abruptly and the build-up (Mean Girls high school storyline, police cracking down on masked vigilantes, McLovin's recruitment of an evil army) all seemed rushed. Regardless, I enjoyed it. I think it just...

    Computer Issues

    Update on my monitor issue: display port to dvi works fine so I'm happy getting digital HD. Never figured out why the display port to HDMI didn't work. It shall forever remain one of life's mysteries to me.

    DOTA 2

    It seems more like NP is the most annoying hero, not the most overpowered. Of course, there are certain times where he simply take over the game, but that is the case with many heroes. He is obnoxious, but how can you ignore his poor winrate at TI3? The only player who crushed with NP all...

    Computer Issues

    Monitor question: Why does my laptop only detect my external monitor when the monitor is powered off? When I power it on, it tries to connect briefly, then the monitor goes to sleep and I never see it appear in device manager or the display options. The monitor works fine when connected to my...

    DOTA 2

    I like Puppey's attitude. "The pudge-chen fountain thing is a bit hardcore, but you take what you can get." If teams are really that scared of it they can ban it out or use it themselves. Was a lot of fun to watch. If I run into a coordinated stack that uses it against me I'd probably complain...

    Tablets

    7 inch is infinitely more portable and I can carry it around in one hand so I have it with me all around the house. 10 inch is better only for watching shows or movies. 10 inch is handy for documents but I just use my convertible x230 for that these days.

    DOTA 2

    I love watching nature's prophet lose. I am not a fan of split push strategies at all. Watching AM or PL or NP or tinker or whatever push lanes solo all game and turn a 25 minute game into a 50 minute game is no fun at all. I'm not disputing the effectiveness of the strategy, but it's just not...

    EQ Never

    I'm sure everything I'm about to say has been rehashed ad nauseam, but initial impressions: The world looks very cool, and I got excited to see the wizard spires amidst the overgrowth. I like the atmosphere and it doesn't seem as cartoony as WoW. I'll probably reiterate this point a few times...

    Smartphones

    I thought with Chromecast and Nexus 7 Google realized that winning the pricing battle with competitive specs will get you the customers. Now we have an average phone at an average price and the only thing that differentiates it is voice control that maybe 5% of customers will actually use any...

    DOTA 2

    Yep, once wards and TP's and overall communication are standard, SB loses a lot of his power. Even if you build a decent early / midgame lead, SB really loses power as the game goes on. Sure, his stuns are awesome, but he shines at levels 6-11 when people have relatively low hp. Lategame he can...

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    Bought one yesterday from Best Buy and received a Netflix code. Worked on my existing account and got three free months. World great so far for Netflix and we are having our fantasy draft tonight and I'll be projecting the Google doc spreadsheet of our board onto the living room TV.

    6 feet away from a 50 inch TV??? At that distance you tactically have to turn your head to see the corners of the screen

    HDTVs

    It's probably a noticeable difference when the TV is on display and you are 12 inches from the screen. Then yeah, I'm sure 4k is vastly superior. I have a hard time distinguishing 720 and 1080 screens across a living room sometimes, so the average viewing distance isn't anywhere close enough to...

    After Mouz wiped the floor with Alliance I honestly thought they would beat Navi. That wasn't even close. Also, Alliance just picked Timbersaw vs EG in game 3 of their league match

    Juices / Drinks

    Lately I've been drinking seltzer water with ice to satisfy my urge for a delicious soda. It works surprisingly well - the bubbliness of soda is even more satisfying than the sweetness. I don't drink much soda but I randomly crave them and I'd definitely recommend this as a substitute. I was...

    Age of Empires II HD

    On sale for 50% off right now ($9.99). You can also get a package that includes AOE III for $16.99. I'll probably buy that even though I hear AOE III isn't too great, since even a single playthrough of the campaign might be worth 7 extra dollars.

    DOTA 2

    Whose bright idea was it over at Valve to remove solo queueing? My games today: leaver on my team, leaver on the opponent's team, against a 4 man stack, against a 3 man stack. AKA free loss, free win, free loss, free loss. Not a single game was in question after the first 5 minutes.

    I don't think I've heard many people say that Del Potro moves well. Perhaps he does for a tall lanky guy, but he still looks uncoordinated and lumbering quite frequently and it costs him points.

    Most recognized brand from each of the 50 states

    I think it's brands that are FROM the state, not what is most recognized in each of the states. Albertsons is everywhere on the west coast but I haven't seen them since moving east and nobody has heard of them here.

    Tennis

    I noticed that Ferrer's groundstrokes had extremely poor angles. He has never been known for hitting winners from the baseline, but it was painful to watch him hit 90% of his shots in the middle third of the court while Nadal was painting the lines. I'm sure part of it is Nadal's deep shots with...
