    Yeah, with their bonus point system theres really no reason to ever have a bad ratio on that site, short of extreme laziness.

    I'm back on the single-card bandwagon. Did the SLI thing for a couple years and towards the end it just annoyed me. Probably 50% of new release games ship with no SLI support, you have to wait on a damn patch or force it through Nvidia drivers(which is usually pretty unstable). Now, by the...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    So...does this game vastly improve after the first couple hours/prologue area? I loved DA1, thought DA2 was alright, It was a decent game, but DA3 has yet to grab my interest at all. The combat just seems so rudimentary. Run up to mob, hold down button until it dies...repeat. At least early...

    Yeah, at some point in the last 20-30 years, Vegas figured out there was big money to be made on things OTHER than gambling.

    The New England Patriots 2014 Playoffs Thread

    $25K is fine as a first offense. In the NFL, penalties always escalate for repeat offenders. Any other franchise other than New England should be subject to the minimum, but New England is now a repeat offender, so they need to be dealt with like anyone else that repeatedly offends.

    In a league that is currently all about setting examples for wrongdoing, they need to set a goddamned example here. Maybe it didn't effect the ultimate outcome of the game, but it's still cheating. You don't bring down the hammer on this and similar things will start to snowball. Take away...

    What ever happened to good, cheap Vegas casino buffets? I blame all the goddamn celebrity chefs opening expensive restaurants, casinos figured out they could still do almost as much business selling dinner buffets for $35 a pop as $10 a pop. The good buffets out there are expensive as hell...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    How is the quality with MMA-TV streaming? I watched it once at a friends house and it seemed to be 480p/standard def at BEST, but that was a couple years ago, maybe they've improved since then. Also, beware the $20 Dish ESPN offer. The Watch ESPN app is HORRIBLE in my experience. I don't...

    I can't imagine too many companies want to hire someone with a Masters and zero work experience in the field. Having the Masters is going to demand a higher salary, but the person isn't worth that kind of money with no experience.
