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

    My PS3 died last night (well not yet but the graphics have tanked and any impact creates a pink polygon explosion) after 4 years. I just bought a ton of games on the cheap over the holidays. Now I have a bit of a pickle, buy a new PS3 (I guess I could finally get that Last of Us bundle for...

    HDTVs

    I got the 75inch version of this, I love it. Very rarely notice motion issues and I watch a ton if hockey. It has bit of flashlighting which is not too noticeable unless it's all black like credits of movies. My wiFe did not notice until I pointed it out. Really like the all share to stream from...

    Dropped a 35 & 27 inch tube tvs off at the electronic recycler today (the fancy bottle depot) was so nice to get that space in the closet back. Why would you put a tv in the garbage? do you not have free electronic recyclers in the us? We have 3 in my town alone! I still need to figure out a...

    Porn allows you to have some variety yet still be faithful. Keep in mind not all partners agree that this activity is faithful.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Back in 2008 my wife and I started to watch "Debt shows" together. These are basically reality shows that focus on folks who have really screwed up there finances and are looking for a real fix. Normally a 3rd party instructor helps the couple, I found watching these shows to be a good indicator...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Perhaps you did not do a great job of establishing buy in. You can't be "RAWR I am mad at you for being dumb with money, time to tighten the belt." It has to be "WE are not in a great position, if WE keep this up WE will end up out of our home, not able to take vacations, paying XYZ amounts in...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    You are right but its not that black and white and should only be used as a part of the big picture. But I think the quoted above part has an EQUAL share of guilt. Enablers are just as bad. Communication is the key. In most cases Communication needs to clearly underline the consequence of...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I am not 100% sure what DNLA is, but I did stream from my Comp to my PS3 for years with PSMS. It worked but had issues, I went wireless so it would get choppy or really slow for large files and only play certain types (when it felt like it it seems) it also raped me with Cinivia quite often, my...

    HDTVs

    My first HDTV was a Samsung plasma (4 years ago) it had image retention (not burn in) meaning it would go away after a while. Any major gaming session I played with a UI would stick on the TV for a day or 2. I found it super annoying and vowed to never buy a plasma again for that reason. I also...

    Its getting so you cant even buy a new tv with out smart features. I now stream direct from my computer to my TV with Samsungs allshare. Its pretty sweet actually to not have to use another program, other than using the allshare media server on my comp. Just change the source to Allshare and I...

    The Hobbit

    Depends on what version of the Hobbit you read, I doubt you read from the first edition. Tolkien retconed the book so many times to help it line up. How JRR Tolkien Pulled A George Lucas On THE HOBBIT Tolkien retconned his own material, i am perfectly happy with Jackson doing it for the big...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Uhg, I really wanted a top quality Wonder Woman who is a major bitch but can back it up with pure power, looks like we get a dizzy bitch instead. IMO WW should be Xena with a different colour costume. I really like the Jon Stewart idea, I love Hal Jordan, but Ryan Reynolds was a horrible...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Communication is key bros. I have been clear that FOR ME a healthy marriage includes regular sex. We have sex 4-5 times a week. Sometimes on the weekends its multiple times a day. We have been together for 9.5 years. we have no kids, i am sure that would change things, but i would put some big...

    Yup, ps3 was 20ft from my router so I said fuck it let's live in the 21st century. Keep in mind I did not have a HDTV in my man cave until last month, so I was happy with the lower quality compressed files.

    Home buying thread

    I think 10% is close to the min for a DP. I would have done 20% if I could but it was not in the cards, if you put 20% Down in Canada you don't have to buy insurance on the loan which saves you sweet cash. Is there anything like that in the USA? If your thinking about a 0% or 3% DP you may want...

    That is true, once I got my new tv I did re download a bunch of my action flicks with 5-10 gig files instead his normal 900mb ones. Previously I was watch the majority on an old (but solid) 50 inch pioneer rear projection. I also was streaming via my ps3 and it could not Handle the large files...

    Lots of good reality shows like "property virgins" that can give you some insight into the process. It's good to get a reality check on what you can afford early, often it's more important that the wife gets it. As for the realtor who is your friend, IMO really depends on the type of person...

    Men's Fashion

    I have owned a few Dockers "dress" shoes, they are very comfortable. They don't last super long if you are going to everyday them like I did. About a year which is not terrible for the price. If you go for higher end shoes you certainly want to rotate for some longevity.

I also use easynews.com it's direct, no torrents and costs 9.99 a month (basically netflicks) I think I get 20 gigs a month, but it carries over each month, last i checked I had 150...

    The Hobbit

    I enjoyed it but not as much as the first, the dragon made the movie, I will agree with some of the nitpicking, but it's a fantasy movie so some bs is expected. To those who have their panties in a bunch because a 9 hour movie is not word for word from a 300 page book, what the fuck did you...

    Time of the Doctor was a steaming pile of shit. Perhaps I had super high expectations due to the masterpiece that was day of the doctor. Clara was annoying, for an impossible girl who was or will be in one timeline able to be a darlek and still remain in control, to some regular ditsy earth...
