Disagree on Barnes. It's been frustrating watching him this season, but I think he has some clutch in him and that huge shot in game 1 was not a fluke. He hit some really big shots in last year's playoffs as well. The one guy to me though that really needs to step up to Iguodala. They...

Yup, huge for Amazon. This is really gives them something to differentiate themselves from Netflix in order to steal some of those subscribers away. So much value in Prime right now.

Seriously, could not stop. I finally stopped laughing when something started to hurt.

Probably Civ 1. In Civ 1 the units had no "hit points" which I believe were added in Civ 2, so in 1 it was an all or nothing roll of who won the fight. A normal tank's attack str was 10, where as a veteran Phalanx had 2 * (0.5 veteran bonus) * (3 city walls bonus) = 9 defense str. So for a...

From Anandtech bench it looks like crossfire r9 270x's would be better than SLI 660's? The 270x isn't too far behind the 760gtx is most benchmarks and even surpasses it in some for only $208. I'm looking at buying a card, can anybody give a solid reason to pay an extra $50 for the 760GTX over...

Civ 5 was great. It cured me of my 15+ year off and on addiction to Civ games. I actually had more fun and spent more time playing CivWorld on Facebook than I did playing Civ 5. And that's not an endorsement of CivWorld, it's just an illustration of how disappointing Civ 5 was. Regardless...

That would be amazing. I second this motion.

I dunno, that "yellow king" is wearing orange. I watched through bits and pieces of episodes last night trying to convince myself that it can't be Marty. Instead of finding good reason why it can't be him, I only found more reasons why it might be him. In addition to the obvious questions...

Is there any good reason to go with i7 vs. i5 for gaming? Will I notice the difference much? Maybe when gaming and multitasking? I'm looking at this combo package on Newegg, which pretty much seems to have everything I want in a decent game system (Haswell i5, SSD, 760 GTX, 8 GB ram) for...

Why? Formerly the largest exchange, now 3rd largest, when total of number if btc is around 12 million? 750k btc seems plausible.

I haven't played, but can't you template the thing you built so that you aren't really losing it, then tear it down and start something new?

Watching this from afar, I'm wondering if there isn't some seriously exploitation and price manipulation going on by those in the know at Mtgox. If they know they can come back up, what's to stop them from buying up all the btc they can when the price drops low enough? Are there any rules or...

Can you elaborate? You're saying the bitcoins that are supposed to be "held" by mtgox are gone? I don't have any money there, but a friend is saying "hey, let's gamble on mtgox." and I'm telling him we'd probably just be throwing away money. Might as well go play roulette or something if he's...

^ Haha, that's awesome.

Hmm, was thinking about getting that deal and just noticed the net price has gone up $50 or so including rebates.

I'm with you. I haven't even wanted to play a new MMO for like 5 years but I'm about ready to go buy a new PC and jump into this.

How old is the PC? Graphics card?

They sold out Monday in a few minutes. I tried at 10am when they became available to get just one or two and there was just nothing. I wasn't even upset I couldn't go, just figured I'd try for the hell of it. If the Niners win it'd have been awesome to be there, but it would suck having...

And that's an ignorant statement by you. The Niners and Seahawks pretty much averaged the same number of PPG as the Saints and Packers this year. Yes, some of that is fueled by their defenses, but you also have to consider their conservative, grinding playcalling on offense. Conservative does...

That's the thing about the Patriots this year. If they make it to the Super Bowl (which I wouldn't bet on), good luck relying on the run vs. the Seahawks or Niners. As a Niner fan, if we can somehow get past Seattle (which again I wouldn't bet on), I'd much rather face this year's Patriots...

Why does it amaze you? These were two of the best defenses in football going head to head, it was clear the winner of this game was not going to have huge stats. The Niners won this game because they have the best front 7 in football.

Horrible that refs miss such an obvious call like that but threw the bullshit flag after the TD earlier.

That is the crew that does all Seattle's games, but seeing as they had a bye this week...

Blatant holding lol. Amazing.

Refs keeping the Packers' D in the game early on.

Any "Niner fan" that feels the need to rip Smith at this point is just sad to me. The guy struggled through the shittiest times the franchise has seen since the 70's, battling injuries, horrible coaches, and a lack of talent to play with. Somehow he lasted through all that long enough to come...

And yet many of the other Balrogs, including their captain, were killed by elves..yes, those elves of old were much more powerful than their later counterparts, but still.

Last year Alex Smith loses his job after being held out one game for a concussion while having one of his best seasons ever. This year Alex Smith loses his job after getting held out the last game of the season to rest up for the playoffs with his team having their best season in a decade...

Too bad the Niners are in as long as they win tomorrow, so you better put all your Niner hate(?) towards the Falcons winning in SF.

How was Fellowship perfect? No Tom Fucking Bombadil. Yeah, coulda done without Smaug chasing the dwarves around for 10 minutes. It really took the some of his aura away and cheapened the encounter with Bilbo. I don't mind Legolas and Tauriel being added because at least you can see it...

Couple things. I hate the way Wade gets that extra free throw. And it's not just that one extra free throw, it's a lot of the free throws he gets. He's always been that player trying to run into defenders in order to get refs to bail him out and put him on the line. I'm not saying Kobe never...

I knew Ohio State would lose since they gave up 20 points in the first half to the worst team in the Pac 10 by far in cal. They were a pretender all the way.

I agree, I hate that. Back in the college days I took some rides on 5 with a few people that drove on it that way, and it literally made me fear for my life. Putting my life in the hands of an 18-year old freshman sorority girl? Not a fan. I think a lot of the people that drive that way are...

Haha @ 10-20 years. Somebody will get there ages before that, Microsoft the most likely candidate to get there first since they're the only ones actively working towards that goal. Steam will be lucky if they're still around in 10 years imo. It'll be interesting to see how they do when their...

Gordon used to go to the gym I go to and I played against him a couple times so I'm especially interested to see how he does. I think if he tries to make the jump after this season he'd probably be a mostly garbage type player (boards, D, putbacks, dunks, etc.) that at best could aspire to be a...

And they won with Jabari Parker getting a bunch of NBA superstar bullshit calls. It was pretty impressive, they simply looked to be a better team than Duke.

How is it a great move to not have any inventory of your brand new gaming console in DECEMBER? Are parents going to leave an IOU under the tree for their kids: "You don't have any fun presents to open right now, but when Sony gets off their asses and gets some more inventory out sometime next...

Here's the Project Spark beta intro video, and then a stream showing how they made it. It looks like a pretty high % of the video was created with Project Spark itself , including most of the cooler effects. They added the spark in but show in the video that they had pretty much the same thing...

This. Everybody with an e-ink reader is always trying to justify the extra device by saying reading on a tablet will kill your eyes. Use the white text on black background and it's not a problem. I've read many books on my original kindle fire, having sessions where I'll go nearly all day on...

This stream was interesting. The first half hour shows a demo of a "prop pack" and all the different little things they can do. There's some pretty cool ones there, but this is just one of many that they'll be putting out over time. If you want to see something really cool though, fast...
