    Wait, so people went and hooked up stock coolers that aren't shipping with the K series chips to compare how the stock coolers that aren't included would compare to after market coolers you have to purchase anyhow since a stock cooler isn't included? And thermal paste has shit-all to do with...

    Anyone ever had Cable One? Horror stories? I had Cable One internet for over 10 years and never had a single issue they didn't quickly fix. Like I was getting a slow connection (still worked, just not as high as expected) and the guy came out and replaced lines and some transfer box or some...

    NBA 2015-2016 Season thread

    This is why Duncan gets the edge from me by quite a bit over KG. Both KG and Duncan were instrumental in building winning teams, systems and culture, etc. Duncan managed to do more actual winning though, and on teams with more than one style, over a long period of time. I have always hated...

    You were critical of a post because it was little more than Shaq's opinion that you seemed to think was shit, when your own opinion on Harden has proved to also be shit. Or something like that, I think. My only defense of any player when discussing clutch is that shooting percentages...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    Cmon guys you're being too hard on Avatar. That line "We're not in Kansas anymore" was brilliant in a movie with so few cliches and wasn't at all a ripoff of anything else.

    Apologies, but I'll definitely have to get you wrong on this one. Westbrook's athleticism? Fucking Rondo? He's athletic compared to 90's point guards, I suppose, but Westbrook? Tha fuck? Then again you think Pierce was fast and athletic recently enough to mention his transition to the way...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    I respect your opinion and the absolute manner with which you express it. But even when a movie doesn't tell me I should think about it, I'm going to go ahead and still do that though. In fact, I've found that's when I find things particularly worthy of intellect. "Dues Machina" was an...

    The heat has to go somewhere. Whether it's on the CPU or being dissipated, an aftermarket cooler isn't defying he laws of thermodynamics and making heat disappear into a black hole. There are plenty coolers that will keep your CPU cooler, but your case hotter. Another reason I like radiator...

    There are plenty of situations where the stock cooler is perfectly fine. Much of the popularity of aftermarket coolers is just perception. Just like people spend more for ram with fancy heat spreaders when 99% of the time those heat spreaders do nothing. I personally bought an aftermarket...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    I never found Fury Road lacking in intellectual content or meaning. I thought it had plenty. It's just not fed to you the way most people are used to these days. I consider it to be the same way a lot of people didn't understand/like Cormac McCarthy's The Road, or they don't get the point of...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    I thought ex machina did well with it's effects. Low key is sometimes good. They weren't overbearing in part because they were so well done which helped them be pretty seamless and well integrated. There are still even big budget movies that have janky looking effects, so I don't mind a movie...

    Better Call Saul

    Except that's not at all similar to what happened in the show. I'm gonna go ahead and say items removed from a hiding place accessed after a house was tossed in a case where the cops are called out by a victim very nervous who inexplicably has an expensive Hummer in the driveway is just a...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    Not sure what you expected, but sounds like you have expectation issues, not an issue with the movie. I don't personally think it should have won best picture because it's not that type of film (The Martian either). Then again, many best picture winners I don't personally find very...

    Better Call Saul

    Yes, I recommend everyone, especially lawyers, do this. If the police start investigating, lie to them and produce false not-necessarily-evidence-yet to hinder the investigation and see how far arguing the semantics of when evidence becomes evidence will get you.

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    I don't think you do get it. I think there's probably a lot of things you don't get. There's a big drop from you not thinking it's best picture quality and saying all they did was drive around and that it was simply a serviceable action movie. The latter two points being what I focused on...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    Mad Max Fury Road is notable for it's distinct lack of melodrama, and for it's lack of overblown forced agenda, and for it's lack of dumb gimmick like shooting all in one take or over the course of a decade (though an argument could me made that good old fashioned filming on locations and...

    Better Call Saul

    They saw an otherwise boring guy have a ridiculously expensive and gaudy Hummer when responding to a burglary call where none of the normal things were missing that would be taken if it was a random job. It seemed like a targeted hit by professionals. Then, they see the junk strewn about is...

    Remember how Curry suddenly didn't look so bulletproof in the playoffs all the time either? It really isn't fair that when the pressure is the highest teams start playing defense in the playoffs. Doc Rivers, though, yeah. He's a great 'motivational' type of coach, but from an actual...

    I give Curry a ton of credit, both for individual skills/abilities/efforts, but also for his willingness to buy into a system that makes him look great because it's a team system. Curry on a shitty team where he has to hero ball wouldn't be nearly as pretty. It's easy to say he'd score 50...

    Housing. Non-instanced. Are they going to fix Vanguard design, or is this the same train-wreck all over again? I know what they need. No fast travel! Instead you can form an offline caravan before you log out and your friend that's the biggest punching bag of your group can be forced to...

    Funny, last season people got flak for suggesting Curry was the clear MVP over Harden. Now, people are getting flak for not agree he's the greatest player of all time! From second best player in the league to GOAT in one season. Not bad, Curry, not bad at all.

    Fallout 4

    I think we agree on most everything when it comes to game design of this kind of game play. Difference is I can't help but point out how that isn't Bethesda's strong suit. I play Fallout 4 despite their game design, not because of it directly. I wasn't using fast travel very often for a...

    Fallout 4

    Why not make the actual areas the game is sending you to be what's meaningful? Why not make that quest marker where the content is? Remember, we have to run there initially, but why should the run back to the same area for the 4th time be what they focus on for challenge and engagement. Oh...

    Fallout 4

    More because they've made the Fallout games in particular increasingly loot driven and then overloaded the game with more loot, and then survival mode is going to make loot and inventory even more "challenging" by giving ammo weight and not allowing fast travel. I guess I don't see the...

    Fallout 4

    You mean fast travel completely defeats the point of Bethesda's limited and arguably archaic version of survival mode. What's strategically difficult about running 15 minutes through shit you already cleared as opposed to just fast traveling? It's like the arguments that limiting inventory...

    Well, this era NBA allowed a player like Kobe who is like barely good win 5 rings and be a first-ballot hall-of-famer by mimicking Jordan's game. If a chump like Kobe can con his way into discussions of greatness by being a poor imitation of Jordan than surely the man himself would have been...

    Curry is helped by having a skill set that fits perfectly into the style of the league. Curry isn't doing much to change the league with his dominance, though, simply taking advantage of it. Jordan played in a league that wasn't exactly friendly to his skill set in the same way it would be...

    First season started out a bit slow and without much actual high-stakes action, but then it picked up and was a fast, but healthy pace and shit that happened really mattered.

    You on a side street trying to turn left is probably not one of the 'either direction' on the roadway they're talking about, so it seems it's saying either of the two directions of lane travel can use the center lane for up to 150 feet to make a left turn. So, deduction: from. There are...
