    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    I loved the first game, but as I already have a million games I've never bothered to install and wasted way too much money on, I've been waiting for this to go on sale. Haven't really seen it drop below $40 or so on Steam, which is more than I'm willing to spend on a game with a 75% chance that...

    Golf Clash

    I basically ran into this same issue and it just made me quit the game. It was pretty fun before I ran into that wall though

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    I don't think this will be the case. With a TV you're far enough away that the curve really is just a gimmick, but with a monitor you actually do get a feeling of immersion from the curve. I have a 35" curved ultrawide now and I had a 34" non curved ultrawide before; the 34" is sitting in my...

    Bicycling

    About time for me to replace the wheelset on my Cervelo S2. Came from the LBS with Fulcrum Racing 7s, thinking about making an upgrade. Not sure if I should go with an aero wheelset or just a lighter set. Currently considering Mavic Cosmic Elites, Campagnolo Scirocco C17s or (the darkhorse)...

    Soccer 2017-2018

    I really expected Japan to get thrashed and instead that might have been the best game of the entire World Cup so far

    NHL 2017-2018 Season: Penguins already sucking dick

    Why is the parade on a Tuesday morning? Are they intentionally trying to keep it small or something? Probably not going to go as a result, if it was over the weekend I would've flown down again

    NHL 2017-2018 Season: Penguins already sucking dick

    I haven't lived in the DC area for almost 10 years, I live in CT now. I did take the metro into DC the day of the game though. If the series goes to game 6 I'll be making the trip again. There's literally no price I wouldn't pay to watch the Caps bring home the Cup

    NHL 2017-2018 Season: Penguins already sucking dick

    I'm not sure who the silver weed man is but I did go to the portrait gallery after the game. Honestly the price I paid was absurd, $200 to fly into DC, $2200 for 2 section 417 seats (so my girlfriend who really knows nothing about hockey could go as well) but it was well worth it. I've made a...

    NHL 2017-2018 Season: Penguins already sucking dick

    After finally exorcising their penguins demon and somehow recovering from a full on collapse against Tampa, I'm very tempted to pick the Caps to finally lift the cup. Unfortunately, their ultimate nemesis Fleury remains in the way and he's playing at an otherworldly level right now. My...

    This series is over. The only question is how do I convert the Capitals W logo into a face palming eagle to replace the face palming skins logo

    NHL 2017-2018 Season: Penguins already sucking dick

    Caps absolutely dominated game 4 and despite that there were probably only 2-3 minutes total during which I thought the Caps would actually win (pretty much just the 1 minute or so they had the lead). Vasilevskiy made big save after big save, Holtby just doesn't make the miraculous save when...

    I'm basically in the boat of assuming Vegas will win the cup because Fleury is too good to be beaten

    Technically they're not the same as I made the avatar I'm using, probably just a perfect sign of just how embarrassing the skins are that 2 people would use such similar avatars

    NHL 2017-2018 Season: Penguins already sucking dick

    I think the Caps will find a new way to crush the spirits of their fans. I thought the Lightning were the better team for good portions of game 1, but the Caps got a few breaks and ran away with it. Game 2 the Caps were clearly the better team, even overcoming horrific calls that put them in the...

    NHL 2017-2018 Season: Penguins already sucking dick

    I'm starting to think the Caps might actually make it. Hoping for Winnipeg to come out of the West since even if the Caps beat the Lightning I have no interest in watching Fleury toss another series of heart wrenching shutouts at Ovie and co. I have absolutely 0 confidence in the Caps beating...

    Maybe someone can explain to me what's going on with a flash drive/usb port. I have 2 front USB 3.1 ports on my case. When I plug my 128 GB USB 3.0 flash drive into the port on the right, it does nothing. When I plug it into the port on the left, it comes up as a flash drive. When I plug...

    It really is an awesome deal on the OLED's, wish they would ship. No Fry's within 900 miles of me so not an option, unfortunately. If I could find a 65" under $1900 I would probably pull the trigger at this point

    HDTVs

    The Sony's are good but the x900e doesn't support Dolby Vision, which I think is a huge feature. The x930e and above are SUPPOSED to support Dolby Vision but, according to AVforums and such, the implementation that Sony went with is basically incompatible with everything (and not supported over...

    I'm trying to decide if I should upgrade my set or not, really torn. Currently have a 55" Panasonic L55WT60, which was their top of the line LCD/LED TV from 2013. I sit about 12' from the TV, so I could potentially upgrade to 65" or bigger I suppose. My issue is I spent $2000 on this TV 5 years...

    I just wanted to add that I bought the Steam Link from Steam during the Thanksgiving/Autumn Sale or whatever it's called (November 26th), and it didn't arrive until December 19th. Not sure if that's still the shipping time, but if it's available on Amazon prime for the same price as Steam I'd...

    Soccer 2017-2018

    They really need an infusion of youth. I'm not sure if they think Bradley is going to regain his form of 6 years ago or whatever, but he's been downright awful for at least 2 years. Altidore continues to just be an athlete with no real talent. They still don't have a player with the creativity...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I know what the GTS is. I very much prefer the widebody of the GTS over the standard S body, "ricer" or not. I doubt you'll find many, if any, people that would consider the GTS a ricer version of the S anyway

    What vehicle do you drive?

    GTS is fine for a daily, but a GT3? Have you ever driven a GT3? I think you'll be sorely, sorely disappointed if you try to daily 1 of those. It is not a car meant to be driven on the streets, even in non RS trim. You have to rev the hell out of it to get it to do anything, the suspension is...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Tarly said the only soldiers not inside the gates with the gold were the stragglers and he wanted to flog them for being behind. He even made a snake analogy about how it would take too long for the rest of the snake to come back to help the tail or some crap. There are some obvious plot holes...

    I know this is from a long time ago, but I'll comment on the Magnetic Ride Control. Absolutely fantastic. I've driven my dad's S class with the Benz air suspension, and I have my BMW 650 GC with the adaptive suspension, neither of them can hold a candle to MRC. The MRC and the overall driving...

    Well if you noticed, my avatar is a face palming Redskins logo. I am fully aware of how terrible they are and I accept that. I'm still a fan, but I don't spend a ton of money on Redskins merchandise or tickets because they are fucking terrible. You, however, continue to financially support...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Why would Capcom or Konami or whoever else decide now is the time to remake their classics. Nintendo has a large install base with the 3ds, Sony and Microsoft both have reasonable install bases with PS4/XBone; so far no remakes of classics beyond VC...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I think you guys are underestimating how well this will sell (at least initially). Despite almost nothing but negative impressions, you still have people like etchazz and others in this very thread that are buying it regardless. There are plenty of Nintendo fanboys that never bought a Wii U; for...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Think the Eagles win by 10ish. I don't think the Skins D had anything to do with the Ravens being terrible, it was more the wind made it hard to pass and Flacco is terrible even weather permitting. 34-24 or so is my guess, Cousins misses at least 2 wide open receivers deep down field for easy...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I agree with this. Couple years back I THOUGHT I wanted as much NFL as possible, but now that it's on every day I skip like 75% of the games. They went too far, football used to be an occasion, now it's just another day ending in y

    Finally "beat" the game for the first time (beat Malachai in Merciless). Ran my first map as well (arcade). My gear is laughably bad. Game is so much easier as ranged, once I got greater multiple projectiles I basically breezed through cruel and merciless all the way to Malachai. Against him my...
