    I really wish Tedd Ginn would have been a better pro. Did shit all for the Dolphins, I think his best season there he had like 2 TDs receiving. Not nearly worth the top 10 draft pick that the Dolphins used on him

    My go-to, somewhat healthy dips are either hummus or tzatziki. Pretty much every other decent dip on Earth relies on cheese of some sort. Tzatziki is super easy to make, but if you're unfathomably lazy(like me), Costco also sells an awesome pre-made tzatziki Easy Tzatziki Recipe : Claire...

    If you're not going to overclock, I'd just get something like this: ASRock Z97 Anniversary LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gbs USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - Newegg.com It technically supports overclocking, which I know you don't need, but it's still cheaper than most boards that don't, so...

    First World Problems

    Every evening when I sit down for some quality gaming time, I start up my game and Steam has to update first. Does Steam need to update every goddamned day? And why doesn't it 100% complete the process without needing me? It's like it doesn't finish until I try to start a damn game. I lose...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Ever time I've thought about moving from KC, housing costs elsewhere always discourage me. You can get a nice 2000sq ft house with a 3 car garage and updates everywhere in the burbs for $175k. I watch those damn house hunter shows and that same house on the East Coast or California is a...

    Color me shocked that the guy who once tweeted "Why should we have to go to class if we came here to play FOOTBALL, we ain't come to play SCHOOL classes are POINTLESS," as a freshman, doesn't want to stay in school a second longer than he has to. Go get your money while you can, and hopefully...

    So I'm trying out a flamestrike build, I've never really given it an honest go before. It seems a little slow at low level, at what point do things really speed up? Right now I only have it 2-linked with fire penetration(I'm not even high enough to use faster casting or elemental prolif yet)...

    Heads up for anyone with a Bank of America rewards credit card. One of the current rewards is 20% off at Tigerdirect.com until Feb 1st, limit of $600. Still though, could get 20% off of a nice new video card, or SSD. Not a bad deal. You do have to go in to your online banking and "activate"...

    I have no idea because I've never played anything at 4K, but does it currently even look much better than 1440p or 1600p? I wouldn't think that too many games have built-in high-res textures to really take advantage of that 4K resolution. Sure, the resolution may state 3840x2160 or whatever...

    Gotta max those resists on Merciless. I don't take a step out of the first town until my resists are maxed (even if I have to craft them, or whatever). Seems like magic damage is exponentially higher in Merciless, I'm pretty sure the whole act it tuned assuming everyone has max resists, so if...

    Notre Dame bias is 10x worse than any SEC or any other school bias. Holy crap is it ridiculous. That ESPN preseason projection had Notre Dame at #12 after going 7-5 this year. That's ahead of every SEC school but like 2(Georgia and Bama). There no chance that at least 4-5 SEC schools dont...

    It's kind of a grey area from what little I know. FLU strains mutate constantly, so one strain could work its way around the globe and be totally different by the time it gets back to where it started and you can get it a 2nd time. So a lot of it depends on just how much a strain mutates...

    I try to get my flu shot by about the first of November, as it does take a few weeks for the antibodies to really form in your system, so they don't really start working right away, gotta plan a little in advance. The good news is, in most younger people with fully-functional immune systems...

    Definitely get flu shots if you have young kids. Maybe you're the type of person that almost never gets sick and never gets the flu, but that doesn't mean you can't pick up the germs and pass them on to your kid, even if it doesn't effect you at all. Our pediatrician basically insisted on it...

    I wouldn't even think about gaming in 4k for another couple years. It takes about $1000 worth of video cards to get a somewhat consistent 30FPS at 4K, and I'm not sure technology even exists to get a consistent 60fps at 4k. Not without turning graphics WAY down. Nvidia GTX 980 tested: SLI...

    Just chalk it up to pre-revenge. Make your kid sick now to get them back for the dozens and dozens of times that they will get you sick over the next couple decades. Kids are disease farms.

    Going back to World War 2 (68 years now), the SEC has 1 streak of 11 straight years without a title(81-91), 1 streak of 7 years without a title, and then no other streaks of more than 4 years. So, for 50 out of 68 years, they've won one every 4 years or more frequently. 24 titles in 68...

    I hate it when a sub shop employee can't cut my sandwich evenly in half. It's called "halves" for a reason, not 1/3 and 2/3. Look, I don't expect it to be exact, but anyone who isn't blind and has half a brain should be able to eyeball it to no worse than 60/40, and that even seems extreme...

    Yeah, 970 SLI would smoke both, by a good 50-75%, for only like $100 more in price. Assuming a game supports SLI properly. I got fed up with SLI support and went back to 1 card, a LOT of game have none, or sketchy SLI support on day 1 release anymore. If you play brand new games the second...

    Jeydax Why a 780Ti over a 980? A 980 wins in 99% of gaming benchmarks in all resolutions from 1080p on up to 4K. They're basically the same price, $500-$550 USD. I have to think the 4GB on the 980 cards is going to be an even bigger advantage over the next year or two as games start using...
