    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Its also possible that he's still an immature dragon and his scales aren't as tough as they will be when he's an adult. I don't think he's anywhere near fully grown yet.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I'm just glad the episode didn't end with the Stannis/Shereen scene. That was brutal. Ultimate downer. That was worse than the Red Wedding for me, I don't like seeing bad shit happening to innocent kids.

    First World Problems

    There was a reddit thread recently asking former inmates what habits they picked up in jail that they still use in real life. The two most common answers seemed to be 1) Always shit with at least 1 leg out of your pants, you need to be able to move at the drop of a hat 2) Never wear...

    Well hell, I didn't know VLC could do that, I had never even looked at the editing options and I've been using that for years. Thanks!

    Must Have Software

    Any know of a super basic video editor that can just rotate videos 90 degrees? My wife has a horrible habit of holding her phone or our camera sideways when she takes video of our kid. Drives me fucking bonkers. Don't want to do a damn thing to the video file other than rotate it and save it.

    College Football 2015-16

    Bowden always seemed like one of the very few all-time-great coaches that was also a decent human being. Saban is a prick, Tom Osborne had no issue keeping known, violent criminals on his teams, we all know about JoePa, Urban Meyer is a grade-A asshole, etc. Bowden always came off as a good...

    980ti, it's price/performance is ridiculous. at the high end, you never get linear gains in price/performance. The 980ti is like 25% faster than the 980 and only 20-25% more in cost. Great value there. By comparison, a 980 is only about 10-15% faster than a 970, for about 60% more cost...

    Witcher 3

    You can also spec into both the Axii charm, and the Axii mob slowdown, and activate both on your skill tree and the mob goes into super-slowmo mode while you are charging up your charm. Makes pretty much anything ez-mode. I kinda almost wish I didn't know that, haven't had a challenging fight...

    they aren't as wide as the picture makes them look. About an inch or so wide, however wide your stove rungs are spaced apart(usually no more than an inch). Not even as wide as a typical hamburger on a bun.

    Witcher 3

    Yeah I have a CPU monitor widget, and I'm generally at 45-50% usage while playing, and about 30% alt-tabbed out. I don't get why Witcher 3 kills my internet connection though, when it's not even an online game. That's the strangest part, throttles my bandwidth down to like 1% of my max

    Witcher 3

    Odd question, but does Witcher 3 just absolutely kill anything else running in the background of your PCs? I've never seen a game that made my PC so sluggish when alt-tabbed out of it. It even kills the performance of my internet connection. I had a few movies downloading via FTP, I generally...

    MLB 2015 Season

    I guess the problem is that we don't really have a backup for Moose or Escobar if Christian Colon becomes an everyday starter. Apparently Infante can't play short or 3rd at all. A title contending team in the AL can't leave a guy batting .200 with an equivalent OBP in the lineup all year. His...

    Don't forget about the Samsung Note phones. I personally like them better than any other offering out there, including Samsungs normal S-line of phones. If you're considering the Nexus 6 and One Plus One, then you're obviously not averse to "large" phones. Consider the Note 4, it's incredible.

    I was trying to avoid downloading any mods or altering the base game in any way, but I'm going to have to get the carry weight mod. I'm way too much of a pack rat and my inventory is constantly full. In typical RPG fashion I'm sure I'll end up with a billion potions and foods and never use...

    It's probably a similar process to my somewhat antiquated WDTVLive that I still use on one of my TVs, in which case it's all about how you set up the sharing in Win 7 itself, moreso than any settings in the device you are using My device doesn't really explore a home network like it's another...

    Need some advice here: If you were building a level wooden platform (2x4s and 1/2 inch plywood) to place a shed on, would you bother digging post holes and sinking posts in concrete into the ground for it to sit on, or would you just dig out the ground/level the dirt so that the...

    How well can you hear audio quality?

    Oddly enough, I hear very, very soft sounds like a goddamn dog. I hear random noises off in the distance blocks away(like windchimes, or a dog barking) and ask my wife about it and she doesn't hear a damn thing. Yet if someone is trying to talk to me 2 feet in front of my face in a semi-loud...

    Chorizo Bowl = pretty good, I give it a solid B+. It's not going to supplant my go-to steak as my main choice, but it's definitely in the running with Barbacoa for my 2nd favorite meat, and the occasional steak alternative. They did a nice job of searing it and giving it a good hint of...

    I will never understand why ID and their graphic engines just flat-out don't support multi-card setups. ID has always had a reputation at being at the bleeding edge of graphic technology, so that decision just baffles me. No SLI for Rage, Wolfenstein, etc. Other notable games with no SLI...

    Witcher 3

    My only main gripe about the game so far are the quests where I have to read a random note/book in my inventory. If you pick up a book/note that is a significant part of a quest line, it should auto-open the moment you pick it up, then go into your inventory. I don't want to have to sort...
