    Read some other reviews on that board, and I like it. I agree it is a helluva board for that price. Went ahead and bought it. And it is $10 cheaper than what I was spending on the micro board! Thanks for the recommendation.

    Just got off the phone with them (Newegg). It was part of a larger order that had already been pulled and prepared for shipment, so I would have had to cancel the entire order, so I just had them generate an RMA for the item which I'll handle when it gets here. At least I can order another one...

    Went ahead and bought all of this tonight, even the memory, since it is only $8 more than that 1333 mkopec listed in the build above mine. If it doesn't make a difference, I am sure I won't miss the $8. I also went crazy and bought 3 more 140mm fans to completely max out that Corsair case...

    The 1600 ram was the exact same price on the Part Picker, which is why I asked. I limited it on places to purchase, so it is possible somewhere else has it cheaper, but between Amazon and Newegg, which both give me free 2-day shipping, they were the same price. Thanks for checking it over...

    My computer is finally acting up to the point where I feel justified in buying a new one. Putting together a build, which I will submit for your approval of course, but is there any reason not to buy faster memory if the cost is about the same? I realize Intel only really supports up to 1600...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    A few days late I realize, but the local conspiracy nuts at work also constantly talk about the motherfucking "Secret" like it is the greatest thing ever, and that it actually works for them. Which, if you aren't aware, is someone making money off of the power of positive thinking by marketing...

    Save the Show Thread

    That poll (and the comments below) shows exactly who uses social media the most, and what they watch: chicks and shitty romances. I've never watched a second of Beauty and the Beast, but it has fucking Lana Lang from Smallville, so it can't be very good on that basis alone unless she somehow...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    Drax and Gamora don't look very good to me at all. It is sad that the two CGI characters, Rocket and Groot, look the best to me. Movie looks like it could be pretty awesome though. It sort of has a Firefly vibe to it as well.

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Yeah, I've looked at it, and it says 1 bleed damage. That's when using the relic spear, which often crits for over 400, so there is no way it should be only 1. Also, cyclone/poison/thunderstorm apply at the END of the opponent's turn, not the beginning. It is always the last thing that...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    My friend just bought the game and was asking for some advice without spoiling too much, and when he read me the harpoon description, I just happened to be doing the last battle and suddenly wished I had that ability. It sucks that they don't get to GM 2-handed though, because unblockable is...

    Well, they started with Zoe Saldana, so that's not going to happen.

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Fair enough, guess I misunderstood what you were saying. Yeah I believe it does, but it never mattered anyway, except on the blademaster, and as I mentioned the vampiric item mitigated that. Game was incredibly difficult at the beginning. Well, at least as far as keeping potions in stock...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    None of that really matters anymore though. A liquid membrane and regen and you almost cannot die, regardless of reflect or riposte, etc. Add in the vampiric relic on your dual-wielder, and you mitigate all the reflect damage there too, but it just cuts down on the number of times you have to...

    That doesn't look terrible for a Japanese game, but I'd go fucking crazy if I couldn't shut that one bitch up. Does she make those noises the entire fucking time? Also, while it makes sense for the butthole to be the critical area you want to hit on a creature, it was nice of that giant one...

    The Walking Dead

    I'm not even sure I care too much about Darryl anymore. About the only character I look forward to seeing is the crazy little girl. I felt certain that we were going to see some mutilated bunnies when they left camp, but I guess that was too much and they left it to our imagination. We all...

    King of the Nerds

    I'm almost certain that the game doesn't work like that. The other team has to vote a different person in than your team does, so if all votes got cast for Zach, I believe they would make the purple (opposing) team re-vote and send someone else. We wouldn't see it due to editing, but your...

    Help finding a movie?

    First, if you don't know where the Abyss response comes from, that's not our fault. Second, you really didn't give much to go on, but if Kids isn't it, how about Ken Park? Same director, starts with a guy in a skateboard park blowing his brains out and has tons of nudity. Almost no one...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Just recently got Liquid Membrane, and I can definitively say that is the point at which the game becomes easy. I have to believe there is something wrong with that spell. At my current magic level, with GM water, the description says something along the lines of "25% reduction of damage for...

    Knights Of Badassdom - (Dinklage - Glau) finnally being released, but with drama

    Not very good overall, and no T&A in the version I watched. I do appreciate certain nods though, like the two opposing kings being King Diamond and King Kerry. But not so good, unfortunately.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Now THAT is an awesome idea. Even him describing the after credits funeral scene gave me chills just thinking about it. I can't imagine what that would be like in a theater full of nerds. The Loki idea is great too, but if this Vision thing comes true in any significant form, I don't know...

    King of the Nerds

    Isn't it pretty much impossible to play any sort of community "survivor" game without social interaction being a major part of it? Just the simple act of picking teams, working together, and picking someone for elimination has to be based on some criteria. If someone is a pain in the ass, or...

    What did you just read?

    You didn't ask me, but I absolutely hated the main character in Prince of Nothing. I liked the world, and the supporting characters, and if they had been the main characters it would have been awesome. But the main dude just ruined it for me. I won't go into details to spoil anything, but not...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I'd be happy with Loki, but not so happy with Skye as Valkyrie. I just don't see it, no matter what rationalization they use. On top of that, if they actually did it, and went ahead with something like a Dr. Strange movie, that means she could possibly play a role in it. While that would help...

    Darkest Dungeon (Kickstarter)

    I was initially just going to do the $15 tier, because I typically avoid too much early access since it might burn me out before I get the full game, but for $5 extra I figured I might as well, and this seems like the type of game you'll be playing many times over and over. In other words...

    The ending made it worthwhile. I don't think I could eat 5 pounds of anything without puking and/or massive diarrhea though. Well, I honestly don't think I could even fit 5 pounds of anything remotely food-like into my stomach period. I so much want to buy these and put them out at work...

    I forgot about the pet odor thing, I'd definitely move if he kept holding that over my head. It is complete bullshit, by the way, because in my years of apartment living I've probably experiend 3 or 4 times when an apartment near me (once right under me) had to have this industrial strength...

    Torrents

    The After, when shitty acting meets dumb writing

    I would continue to watch it if they made more, just to see what happens. But I'm not really optimistic about it. And if you're gonna show titties, at least give me a good look. Shocked the fuck out of me when I finally saw Jamie Kennedy without the makeup on though. Had no idea it was...

    Yeah, Kenzi is far and away the best thing about this show. I'm a big fan of Tamsin now too, but you might not even know who she is yet. In current episodes, this last one (Canadian version, so Ep. 11 I think?) made almost zero fucking sense to me. They hopped all over from one place to...

    Crazy Neighbor. Coward Landlord.

    I've had a much milder situation going on the past year in my apartment complex (I've been there 6-7 years), where the downstairs neighbors were complaining, the manager agreed I wasn't doing anything wrong, and they had multiple violations for other things. Namely, they had moved their entire...
