    Prior to getting KO's by Serra, GSP was 13-1 with 3 decisions. Post Serra KO's he's 10-0 with 7 decisions and would have been 8 if the doctors hadnt stopped BJ, before the start of the 5th round, from being a punching bag for one more round. I'm going to stare into my crystal ball and see if i...

    Defiance

    I actually enjoyed the Beta a few weekends ago. It had a Borderlands-ish combat/equipment with Just Cause open world quest and vehicle timed events mixed with Rift with the "dynamic" events that would spawn randomly. However, like early Rift was, the events are few and they repeat. Granted it...

    Engagement rings

    My advice is don't expect anything at all. Just plan for covering the wedding yourselves and plan for what you can afford. If parents/family/friends decide to pitch in to help, then even better. By the time you get married, you should have an idea of what to expect when it comes to that area. I...

    Engagement rings

    I just recently got engaged and bought a ring. I stressed a little about it because I wanted it to be something nice but not too cheap and I didn't want to go into debt for it. I picked a price range that I was comfortable with that I could pay outright for and shopped around. The 2 months...

    MMA Thread

    I gotta say, the Wandy/Stann fight really made my night. UFC has become too much of an outpointing game, that the majority of fighters just play it safe anymore. Rarely do you see two guys go out and leave it all out on the line and just entertain the fans. While I understand "fighting smart"...

    Boy... that escalated quickly

    I thought you were going to conclude the story by saying John Quinones came out and said "What Would You Do?"

    The Metal Thread

    Guy on the radio here yesterday said that the drummer said they'd release an album this year sometimes, so who knows. I like Tool but if they put a new album out or not, it makes no difference to me. Would be cool to hear some new material however.

    Hypothesis: 1984 was the best year of film releases ever

    It was impossible for me to include every movie under each year. I tried to pick and choose what i would consider popular movie choices while leaving personal preference out. I stated earlier I tried to pick a variety of movies that folks would agree are worthwhile movies. While Splash and...

    Coheed and Cambria - The Afterman: Descension

    I saw these guys back in August when they were opening for Iron Maiden. They sounded great.

    Hypothesis: 1984 was the best year of film releases ever

    this is 1980-2000. I tried to include blockbusters, cult hits, generally praised comedies and movies folks generally agree are good to those with quirkier tastes. I'm sure i missed a few, but by the year 1990, the sheer amount of movies being made almost doubles so it's easy to gloss over all...

    To be fair, this is the first official ranking ever, so it's going to be way off. Add the fact that they just aquired a bunch of the strikeforce talent who haven't actually fought in the UFC yet (remember the pride fiasco). While I think the rankings are a bit off, it's a start and once a few...

    The progressive rock thread

    Storm Corrosion is the collaboration of Steve Wilson (Porcupine Tree) and Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth). Together, these guys make some tremendous music and I was pretty amped for the Storm Corrosion record, but it wasn't quite what I was expecting from these guys. It's not a bad album, just not what...

    Android/iOS/Browser games

    Decided to pickup the Plague, Inc. game based on this thread. Wow, it's addicting. I played through on easy mode to get used to the game. Played a couple of normals but I seem to get sooo close to world eradication and run outta steam. Must. Destroy. Civilization. Thanks for the recommendation

    Vid is long, but the music is almost the soundtrack for the video. Experimental/Prog-ish if you're into that

    Laptop Computers

    Thanks for the replies. I guess the apps loading was the question i never asked but wanted to. Kind of dumb to not allow loading apps on the Chromebook. That alone will lead me to get a tablet instead. I had an Ipad/Ipad 2 from my last job and enjoyed those, was just curious if a Chromebook was...

    Laptop Computers

    Has anyone used one of the Google Chromebooks? The lady wants a laptop but she doesn't do anything but check email/surf. I'm debating on a tablet of some sort, but the chromebook looks kinda nice.

    Rage of Bahamut - ios/android

    Been playing this on my own for a month and a half or so. I'm in a crappy oder. I'm not hardcore. My deck is around 50k/50k but it's with those crappy slime HRares from halloween (when i started). I'm working on enhancing/evolving a few cards to up that. If FoH would have me, i'd gladly swap...

    DC Universe Online

    They added Electric power which was a healer type and most things dealt with the Flash story. Had a T2 duo instance and introduced T3.5 armor that you got from doing dailies in the flash zone. I quit shortly after that, but I believe they added an earth power which was a tank power and a wonder...

    I've been slacking on picks and interest in MMA the past few months. I felt the UFC's have gotten stale with lackluster cards, but I'll try to re-up my game with the new year and try to make picks with you guys again. I was tarv in the group. I'll make picks for tonight to brush the rust off lol.
