    ESPN's College Bowl Mania 2014

    So apparently, I'm dumb. I thought the whole "confidence" ranking meant that you were supposed to rank your most confident pick as #1, second most as #2, etc. Apparently, the numbers are the point totals. So my whole ranking system was done completely backwards. I got my #2 most confident...

    I'd give my left nut for a Cloak of Defiance. I'd really like to run with Mind over Matter, I have a 1200 mana pool and another 1200 ES I could throw into a mana pool pretty easily, but I can't get anywhere near the MoM node on the tree with my current build. At that point with MoM and I'd...

    How are you setting up your zombies? I'm using Zombies to basically tank for my squishy arc witch. So far I'm just 4Ling them(zombie-added life-resists-speed), I'd like to get a 5L to add something offensive like added damage or multistrike, or maybe I should just drop the speed gem for an...

    I still use tendrils/arc at level 75 doing some maps in Bloodlines(hardcore). I think tendrils alone would be pretty rough unless you're also bringing along a partial totem build(arc or spark totem or something) or skeletons/zombies. As a caster build, your armor and evasion are probably going...

    NFL 2014 - 2015 Season Thread

    49ers fired George Seifert after going 12-4 in his last season, and only 2 years removed from winning the Super Bowl. That franchise has some issues.

    The Pillow Thread

    Disregard this advice. I've switched back to a normal pillow. The memory foam pillow was great if you are on your back or side, but it's WAY to thick for sleeping on your stomach, and I tend to do a little of all of that, I turn over a lot all night long. Thing started to kill my neck after a...

    I've had Windows 8 for probably 6 months now, and I like it. Once you set it up to just boot to desktop, it's basically just like using a faster version of Win 7. I don't screw with any of that Metro stuff, it's pointless unless you are on a touchscreen device, IMHO

    WDTV/ Roku Streamers

    You really don't need anything more than a Chromecast + Plex in you home, unless you have to be wired because you are regularly streaming full blu-ray, uncompressed video rips(the big 40-50 gig ones). My Chromecast does just fine with ~10-15 GB 1080p rips over wifi. I have two WDTV Live boxes...

    Yeah, I assembled a kitchen playset on Chirstmas eve as well. Goddamned thing took 3 1/2 hours. I'm sure the 6 pack of beer didn't help me win any speed records though. Now the kids kitchen is nicer than our real kitchen

    It's just going to be your typical LED vs Plasma preference. Plasma is going to have slightly better colors, black levels, and refresh rate(virtually zero motion blur) but is larger, heavier, uses more power, puts of more heat, and might have more glare issues if it's in a bright room. I...

    Make it a few times for yourself before you make it for a group of people. It's bound to be ugly as hell and falling apart the first time or two that you try, no matter how many videos on Youtube that you watch. Takes a bit of practice.

    I love my Chromecast. It'll basically save you the hassle of having to run that cable(I assume you just run it when you need it, and not leaving it connected all the time) that being said, it obviously streams wirelessly so depending on your home wireless situation, you might have some...

    So for those of you that are doing maps in any hardcore-rules league, what is your baseline minimum defensive stats/health for survivability? As I work my way through Merciless(I'm level 60 atm), obviously my resists are capped and I'm at 3200Hp/1000ES, but my armor and evasion is total crap...

    Kingston HyperX is a solid SSD. All things being equal, I'd still prefer a Samsung if given the choice, but Kingston is real close in quality & reliability.

    the worst part about the Big Mac disappearing, is that Mcdonalds will then have no reason to carry Big Mac sauce, people won't be able to add it to other sandwiches anymore.

    Pregnancy heightens your risk for developing kidney stones. Let's hope it is something simpler than that. If it is that, at least the birth will be a breeze after dealing with the pain of passing a kidney stone.

    I couldnt see a single Steeler on the TV screen yet when he caught it, and he immediately ran back/sideways. No clue what he was trying to accomplish there. It looked like when you're playing a video game and you run your punt return guy backwards so you can rack up more yards on offense, lol.

    Chiefs just had the worst punt return(short of turning it over) that I've ever seen Chiefs returner catches the ball at the 45, with no one within 10 yards of him yet(terrible punt), runs straight sideways/backwards for 20 yards until the coverage gets there, and he picks up about 2 yards...

    Alex Smith is the king of the untimely, drive-killing sack. Pressure on 1st or 2nd down? He'll scramble and pick up some yardage. 3rd down? He'll take a 10+ yard sack that makes a FG much harder than it needed to be. Thanks Alex!
