    Yup Identical. The resizing was done by the board itself but you can clearly see a difference between the two.

    I would say even more then that. I would say its about a two hour difference on the drive down/up. Besides you're not in the SJV for long. Just got to watch out for the CHIPPER's when speeding through. Funny I find driving through the SJV kinda calming, just watching the rows of golden hills on...

    Apocalypse is going to suck. I just know they going to ruin him. Too bad as he is my favorite X-men villain.

    I am using the term tailored to describe the fit of a shirt, I am not referring to bespoke clothing.

    Men's Fashion

    Tailored shirts don't have to be expensive. Uniqlo and Jcrew make affordable (30$-60$) tailored shirts with decent build quality if you are looking to dip your toes right now. Key to getting a good fit is to find your correct size. Most Americans nowadays are accustomed to wearing vanity sizes...

    All this confirms is that writers for those sites have never played PC games (1080p) so can't tell the difference.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    Ambient occlusion creates these really soft shadows on surfaces. It's the shadows that are created not by a direct light source but ambient light. It's kind of subtle effect.

    [Manga] One Piece - Spoilers up to the most recent Chapter.

    Woah, good chapter seems like the payoff is coming, but why do I have the feeling we are now going to get a five chapter origin arc on the dwarves.

    Men's Fashion

    This goes for any article of clothing with the exception of underwear. Try to put off washing your clothes till you have to. Hell I have had a dress shirt for over two years that I have yet to wash. Granted I do not work where there is a dress code and only use it for interviews or special...

    Men's Fashion

    Pretty much all cotton clothing will eventually start to fall apart after numerous washes through the spin cycle. How many washes depends on the quality of the cotton, the quality/type of weave, and thread count. You don't have to take them to a dry cleaners, but a lot of people do(with respect...

    Thanks, that is exactly what I wanted to hear. Since I do it for a hobby an i5 it is, that is unless there is some awesome deal that comes along soon.

    Desktop Computers

    I am starting to do get into video editing (HD 1080p) and according to most in the forum the best CPU for that use would be an i7. What I would like to know if there is a massive difference in performance between an i5 and i7 when it comes to encoding video? Would I be able to live with it or is...

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    Ok.... I guess Naruto will combine with the other tailed beasts and finally become the sage. Of course the fourth will have to perish in order for Naruto to fully absorb the nine tails.

    Frostbite 3 is a pretty taxing engine so if you want consistent 60 FPS with all max settings you are going to need more then a 780. For titanfall, since it is a Source engine game, your card will be overkill.

    Witcher 3

    Here's an interview with the main story writer for Witcher 3. He states that the game will be 100 hours, 50 for the main storyline and 50 for the side quests. Boating will require a skill and supposedly you can wreck your boat and drown.

    Witcher 3

    I agree but I think it is because they have to actually develop a robust API for it to be used by the masses. That being said, it is coming in 2016. CD Projekt to open US studio, license REDengi - Video Game News, Videos and File Downloads for PC and Console Games at Shacknews.com

    Travelling in California

    If you are going to take a bus from sf to la do not take Greyhound. There are bus charter services that run between the cities. Trip takes about 6-7 hours depending on traffic and the buses themselves are pretty clean. Megabus is one of the big ones but if you search Yelp you will find reviews...

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    My one big complaint is the last stretch of the game. Not sure if "rushed" is the proper term to describe it but it did feel as if a big chunk of the game was excised or drastically changed at the last minute. Like having Ann become your quarter master all of sudden when you barely know her...

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    Wait Wut? This game plays sooo much better with a gamepad (use one stick to move and the other to pan the camera). Have you tried it at least? AC was the game that made me purchase a gamepad for my PC. It actually made the game a lot more enjoyable to play.

    Same here in LA. All the Target stores around me have Xbones in stock but no PS4's. I will pass on through the Sony store at the South Coast Plaza on Monday and see if they have any in stock.

    Yeah the better test of who won the season won't be known till after Christmas but I honestly expect both Xbone and Swaystation to completely sellout this year. We will see how the momentum carries over in 2014.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    I really disliked the ship stuff in AC3 but the rest of AC4 is so good that I tolerate it. I cheated and upgraded my ship using a trainer though. Makes sailing the seas much more painless. The atmosphere is really gorgeous, so much better then the thanksgiving motif of AC3 (shudder). The...

    You know what's funny the first time I played through DA:O I didn't even romance anyone, not even unintentionally. I had a vague idea that characters could get together, but did not care.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Can you elaborate on what Bioware did to cater to the " hamburgler hepler" crowd that was different from Baldur's Gate etc? I am really curious as I could never get past the terrible isometric style graphics of those types of games, Diablo included. I just thought it was so antiquated, even back...
