    Yeah the touchpad on my MBPro is much better than the one on my M18x. Both run pretty cool - the M18x has much more power to heat it up though, it runs Bioshock Infinite on Ultra settings @ 1080p with ease. I actually picked up an old Asus G51 on Craigslist to use as a Hackintosh and the...

    The Secret World

    I'm on Arcadia, but server only matters for pvp, you can group with anyone for pve. There are multiple servers. Some people here have been playing far longer than I have and know far more - I'm just glad the thread got bumped and hope more people start playing - this game is really good, and...

    5 Best Games of All Time

    1. Baldur's Gate Saga 2. Half-Life 3. EQ 4. Pools of Radiance 5. Starcraft/Diablo II Just reading this thread reminds me why I come here to get game reviews/feedback - even those who list different games are still listing great games.

    I still don't think the officials can adequately determine intent on these above the shoulder hits. They need to leave it to spearing/leading with the helmet and late hits. All this defenseless receiver bullshit can be eliminated by not running short routes over the middle. Damn ESPN loves...

    The Secret World

    All of the content/classes are available - it's a buy to play game. It's probably better now since the population is healthier since B2P. So far it's not pay to win, just xp boosts and some convenience stuff to go with the spiffy clothing. I picked it up on the recent EA sale, it does not...

    Ni No Kuni (PS3)

    Picked this up at GameStop with the hardback - amazing the attention to detail on this.

    The Secret World

    Picked this up from Origin sale and have really enjoyed it, playing Arcadia (Templar) using blade/fist build someone linked to earlier.

    Weight and battery life on the Pros are very good. Durability - they are built solidly, but the aluminum unibody can be dented easier than you might think, so if you are particular about keeping your stuff "like new", be aware of that.

    I agree, that will be where they are ranked on January 8th.

    Do you have health insurance?

    There are obvious reasons an employer is willing to invest more money in your healthcare plan than they would give to you as salary - having a vested interest in a (presumably) reliable, trained employee being able to work is just one of them. Large employers obviously can negotiate better...

    Fantasy Football Advice Thread

    Up 10 points, my players are done and my opponent has M. Austin tomorrow night. Damn, pulling hard for Skins DBs to play well or for Romo to lock on to Bryant/Witten/whoever is healthy and playing.

    Men's Fashion

    I've been wearing the same jeans for decades - Levi 550 relaxed fit. Wife has been trying to dress me up, but it's hard for me to see myself in designer jeans and a v-neck sweater. Typically wear chinos and a golf shirt (white crew tee underneath) 80% of the time, button down otherwise...

    Do you have health insurance?

    I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield of NC through my company, coverage for family is about $200 a month. Also have dental/optical coverage and short long term disability which adds maybe $10 more a month. Single coverage is like $160 a month. I was 32 when I had a bout with atrial fibrillation...

    Wii Homebrew

    I have ours set up to play backups, NES, SNES, Genesis, GBA, N64 and other stuff. Also has YouTube and can play DVDs but not well. Emulators work pretty well with my game cube controllers.

    Damn I'm glad I started Blair Walsh @ K, highest scorer on my team at 25 points over my other K, Zuerlein. Of course I played Patriots D/ST over the Texans for some reason, but still won my semifinal matchup.

    McCarron coming back next year. If Moseley comes back for his senior season Bama could make another run next year with the schedule they have.

    Remakes: What would you like to see?

    Dark Forces II - agree. Bioforge - old DOS based game, way ahead of it's time Tons of C64 games... I still have the 5.25" disks boxed up. Oh, and Rogue Squadron.

    Homeowners

    Yeah, sometimes I miss apartment living. Just refinanced to 15 years @ less than 2% (wife is in banking, so employee rate), payment went up $50/month. Hope to have it about paid off by the time both kids are out if high school so I can sell the damn thing, pay for college and find a used...

    Agree, glad he's our QB but he's done nothing to make him the third best QB - not top 5 IMO.

    Laptop Computers

    Yeah, I've pretty much gone from my old M1730 to a M17xR1 to my M18x via the one thing Dell does right - the complete care warranty. Had heat issues with previous iterations that pretty much forced them to upgrade me under warranty - though I paid extra this last time for upgrades.

    I have the M18x with the 6990m x2, no heat issues. Yes, it's overkill, but nice to run BF3 on ultra on a somewhat mobile platform.

    Congrats - it's not bad at all, even as newborns kids will do shit that makes it fun/gross/interesting. Much worse when they hit puberty... daughter is bad enough, now I have to make my son turn his phone off while we go over homework; he's apparently a budding stud.

    In 1994 Gene Stallings had Homer Smith and Bill Oliver. I can only imagine what might have been had Stallings given Smith full control on offense.

    Steele is a phenomenal recruiter, lousy coordinator. Would be great if you could get him as a linebacker coach.

    Chiming in, father of two, daughter (15) and son (12). Kids think having a dad that know more memes than they do is both cool and disturbing. I agree.
