    Cities: Skylines

    I'm kind of that way too, once I had built everything there is to see, I lost interest. Haven't touched it in a couple days. I'll probably let the game sit for a few weeks or a month, then download a shitload of new mods and play it again with all the new stuff added. I see Cities:Skylines...

    It's too bad Cinci has to get through Kentucky to get to a game vs West Virginia. I'd love to see the Huggins Bowl matchup.

    What do you do?

    Same here. I'm 37 years old and I've only had 2 employers in the past 20 years, but I'm about to start looking. I haven't been on the applicant side of an interview since I was a teenager, I'm used to being the one doing the interviewing. This is going to be very strange.

    Woman in our office pool picked both Iowa St and Baylor to lose in this first round. She has a championship game of Wichita St vs Providence. Fuck sake. I asked her how in the world she picked those outcomes she asked "well, the rankings are just based on last year right?" ... she'll...

    I hear ya. Mizzou's last year in the Big 12 we won the conference tournament and then got immediately bounced as a 2 seed losing to a 15 seed in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Crazy shit happens in the big tournament.

    The best is Art & Marys, IMO Not sure if they are available nationwide or if they are just regional, but they are awesome. Only problem is they are expensive as shit and the bag is usually half full at best. I'd rank them as: 1) Art & Marys 2) Jimmy Johns in-store brand 3) Miss...

    2015 RR March Madness Bracket Challenge

    I had them in the final 4 as well. That side of the bracket is pretty weak, with Gonzaga as the #2, and Duke(who is always prone to horrible upsets, it seems) as the #1, I thought Iowa State had a good chance of making it out of there. Not so much.

    UAB does have a badass mascot. I'm happy for them though, their school gets the terrible news that the football team is being disbanded just a couple months ago, and now they have what might end up being the biggest upset of the tournament fall their way.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Yeah, I'm not seeing the crossover connection between Bloodborne and Pillars. Two completely different game genres on completely different platforms. Now, they both look to be good games, they have that in common, but that's about it. It's like saying Dying Light and Cities:Skylines have...

    More than likely they are probably using some other somewhat outdated piece of software that hasn't been updated since the days of IE 7, and thus the software isn't officially supported in any newer versions of IE.

    So this somewhat vague statement is in that short article: I have to assume that performance is achieved by linking multiple(4+) cards together? Surely a single card isn't going to take a massive leap forward and use 1300w of power at peak performance, that would be nuts, but the article...

    2015 RR March Madness Bracket Challenge

    I'd generally say if any 1-4 seeded team wins the tournament, that's not any kind of upset or surprise, so there's 16 teams that could realistically win it. Once you get a winner thats lower than a 4, that starts to get into legit upset/shocking territory.

    That's usually who ends up winning. Our office pool is often won by a random woman who just picks teams by mascots or colors or something. It's infuriating.

    The NIT tournament is testing out a 30 second shot clock this year in all of their tournament games. Will be interesting to see how that goes and if the NCAA as a whole adopts it soon.

    Well, they probably just tell everyone it won't work(for the sake of not having to argue about it) but in reality, they can probably only guarantee the security on IE. If you're using financial software with sensitive customer info(SS numbers, accounts numbers, banking accounts, etc) I'd...

    Well, I have a feeling that with Windows 10 and going forward, versions of windows are going to basically have online, always-on DRM to check for piracy. If you want to pirate a copy of Windows 10, 11, and beyond, you'll have to keep your computer offline to do so. Once they get everyone set...

    That's huge. If someone builds a PC within a year of Windows 10 releasing, they basically don't need to purchase an OS. Pirate 8, get free legit 10.

    I think the size of the circle correlates to how high of a seed you are. All of those bad defense/bad offense schools are auto-bids from tiny conferences with 14/15/16 seeds.

    2015 RR March Madness Bracket Challenge

    I really like ISU as well, but the problems with teams like that who are great offensively but suspect defensively(also BYU, Oregon, Notre Dame, Davidson, Indiana, etc) is that it's likely that you're going to eventually have a bad shooting game, and then you're just done. Good defensive teams...

    Microcenter is definitely nuts. They must sell a LOT of Apple products to offset the low/nonexistant profit margins on their PC parts.

    I haven't played Tera, but for League of Legends, it is so old(graphically) that you were probably getting an average of 100+ FPS with your 680, and now you're getting 200+ with the 980. You'll see no difference there. I would assume Tera is the same way, since it's a 4+ year old game.

    And pick up a motherboard with it for another $40 off. You could end up easily saving $80-$100 with the processor/mobo combo over most online prices. I'd drive an hour each way to save $100.
