    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I tried using an SSD with my original model ps4 and I noticed it definitely does did not cut the loading times anywhere near what you would expect by switching to an SSD on a computer. Simply switching from the base to the Pro gives a considerable, nearly as good boost imo. This article says...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    So i nnoticed something odd with my new pro. I bought Bloodborne ages ago, bought the old hunters also. I traded it in to gamestop maybe a year ago and Dled it when it went on PS plus. It worked fine, old hunters and all. I just reupped the ps plus 1 year thing (sadly the 20% off psn coupon...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Oh Snap VC4 is only 30 bucks how did I miss that? I just got myself the RDR Pro bundle today and it came with a 20% off PSN code so I'm def getting that.

    Competitor Cyber Squatting our website, Stealing our companies goodwill and confusing the market. What can i do about this?

    We should , I've been wanting to do this for years. Finally last year once the last guy took his site down we were set on doing it. However for some reason i don't recall we were never able to actually purchase the registration once the guy took the it down last year.

    Competitor Cyber Squatting our website, Stealing our companies goodwill and confusing the market. What can i do about this?

    I already suggested this to him but his first instinct is to simply call the guy again. Would we have any basis for damages on this? It seems pretty blatant and i there's no other reason to do it beyond confusing the public/customer base/market AND vamping our show to sustain his own. Whats...

    Competitor Cyber Squatting our website, Stealing our companies goodwill and confusing the market. What can i do about this?

    Without getting into too much detail Here is a bit of background. As some of you may know my family runs a rather successful trade show.We are a small business and it is the only show we run currently. basically the only one of considerable size east of California in this industry. About 5...

    Station Changers

    I generally make my own playlists and stuff, usually hit shuffle and jsut let them play. However in defense of radio. There is something satisfying and exciting about suddenly having a song you didn't think of, or hear recently played at the right moment.

    Station Changers

    Beats- Hey jude. I love the Beatles but i just can't stand that song it's so overplayed and ofc the chorus is beaten to death and drags on forever. The band with more good radio worthy songs then any in History and you hear like 10-12 on the radio... I've been listening to "i've just seen a...

    It's sad how pro-conor the coverage was. The much promoted Khabib vs RDA a few years ago was "A beatdown!" despite neither side landing much offense at all and the fight never getting close to stopped and probably could have continued for several more rounds before Khabib muscled a real...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well after reading this thread it makes me feel better i didn't waste the money on this xpac/sub. I thought people liked this expansion when it came out?

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    I've been involved with Barbershop Harmony since i was a teen. This Choral arraignment of Ode to joy is amazing! Gives me goosebumps as if i were signing it with them. I like how it uses a Female Quartet and two males ones as "soloists" something i have not seen before.

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    Hmm well i never block so i guess i should look for light armor. Is there any reason to not mix and match armor types?

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    I just picked up this game myself. I got it from best buy after seeing it for 20 bucks and it's at least kept me occupied whilst the Ebay guy has never sent the God of War copy i ordered a couple weeks ago..Overall it so far feels like a very good dark souls game. I also initially missed the...

    Ayn Rand

    So i decided to actually give Atlas Shrugged a read. I was not impressed, Whittaker Chambers famous review for National Review does an excellent job describing it imo. Big Sister Is Watching You | National Review It's just a political tract disguised as mediocre fiction for one. Bland one...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah those TBC Heroics were excellent. if anything a few had some moments that verged on the unfair, at least n the first few months after release when i played them. But i would not mind it if the game has stuff comparable to those. That final orc dungeon on heroic was such a bitch as a Shaman...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah i don't mean it was difficult or anything. The couple of Heroics i did seemed 1000% trivial despite barely having a clue. it was just being thrown into the world and not really having a clue where i should be going for various things. idk, i'm hoping maybe having "a path" to travel with...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So if I pick this up later in the week will i be able to understand it/get into the game despite not having played since 07? I tried back in about last January . My friend gave em an account with a max Shaman (my old main class), and a few level 100-105 chars. The game was just so overwhelming...

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    looking at those benchmarks the vega 64 looks like such trash. it seems like exactly what you would expect to get by making a bigger/hotter polaris card back in 2015 or whenever the 480 came out..

    Oh hmm i just thought it did nothing heh. That's sort of nice as i don't really care to bother with arcade stuff beyond the random quik DM and i got the Reinhardt football skin i sorta wanted in one today. I've been level 4 for a while now, save a couple times i dropped to 3 when i DCed...

    Anyone else notice they get a few free loot boxes when they login sometimes? It happened to me today where i logged in and found 3 in my account. This had happened at least a few times before, but i always thought that maybe i had just not noticed them. But these were 100% not around the night...

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    Interesting, hopefully this means we will be getting more reasonable priceds options in the next year or two. WTF happened to those pascal cards i was hearing about in late 2017? did Nvidia just never release them as consumer products? I've been using a RX580 for over a year now and it's fine...

    Vanessa's Tranny AMA Blog Thread

    So uhh i had a question, although im not sure i really want to ask it because it might encourage schools to make more "Trans studies" courses. Norman Tebbit wrote an article basically saying something that i've long thought about. We need to investigate the causes of this sudden transgender...

    Dead Cells

    Ya i don't think that it as neither allows animation cancel and both basically have no "wind up". if anything Dead cells has a longer "windup" and "cooldown" on some slow weapons while RL basically has none and your sword (onlly weapon) will hit anything in it's arc immediately.

    Dead Cells

    One thing that struck me while playing this game and Rouge legacy at the same time is how the controls/gameplay just feel so much more fluid in Dead Cells. Rogue legacy often looks easier but i always find myself having a way, way harder time defeating enemies without taking damage. I'm not...

    Overwatch

    You are missing the point, i'm not claiming it's not "fair" because everyone should know these things cut both ways. Just that a decent chunk of the population not really playing comp like a team game makes it far less enjoyable. I like to talk because i always like to be social playing games...

    Overwatch

    The Community in this game really is just awful. Previous to this i only played casual console online stuff and EVE, which has a very diff player base then most games. So i dunno if it's just this game or modern online games in general are like this. Obviously you will usually have good people...

    You will eventually get a rune that lets you climb walls. It's fairly late in the game.

    Dead Cells

    The purple "turret weapons" are def a nice crutch that are espescially good when your new to the game/areas. It's really one of thsoe games that feel harder in the start but you will get way better by playing it a bit. I think the actual game mechanics are pretty easy once you get used to it...

    Overwatch

    My experience is people are far too interested in trying to roll around shit, the grapple swing thing rarely works for dmg and is very easy to disrupt with a simple Junkrat mine among other things will knock it off, and obviously people will just not stand in your path. The one time he felt...

    Yeah it's painful how bad the great majority are with him. He just rolls around and dies nearly every life. I don't think i'm the only one who is wishing you could turn him off in options before starting a match.. It was bad enough with all the random Symmettra one tricks who appeared recently...

    Dead Cells

    It's a solid enough game. I think i liked Salt and Sanctuary more and was hoping it would be closer to that. I beat the Hand of the King after about 15hrs of play total. I just wish the game was not so RNG and had a bit more content as it gets old imo. I also got Hollow Knight recently. But...

    Incredible Stories from History

    This is an old article by Whittaker Chambers written right after the Yalta conference. It's interesting how at the time the reaction was super negative. Many Americans thought it was a vicious slander against FDR's great friend of Democracy "Uncle Joe" Stalin. Within a few years it became clear...

    Incredible Stories from History

    Just wanted to complain about how bad the CIA sucks at declassifying documents. Here is a 1957 paper on the defenses of the then Soviet Black Sea port of Yalta. 80% of it is still redacted.. and it was only even released 30 years after the end of the Cold War... This is not an aberration... This...

    Incredible Stories from History

    Anyone interested in Exploration/tales of survival i would strongly recommend Cherrery Garrards 'Worse Journey in the World" on the Scott Antarctic expedition. I'm sure there's a good book on the Imperial trans-Antarctic expedition also. That's gotta be the most insane story of survival and...

    What did you just read?

    I finally read Witness by Whittaker Chambers. Despite it being a fairly famous book and dealing with areas i had great interest in i never actually got around to it until this week. Chambers Likely would have been one of the great writers of the 20th century if he had not dedicated much of his...

    People said Mercy was useless post rez nerf. I'll bet if they nerf her to 2sec full charge it would still be used just as they used Mercy since the ability to one shot most heroes from any range is too good. Grappling should be 20-30sec cd and remove hanzo lunge, remove the no slowdown on storm...
