    The new leagues are a lot of fun. I haven't tried the PVP yet though.

    Laptop Computers

    I don't think I've ever owned or use a laptop that didn't have it's power button placed to where you had to open it to turn it on/off. Are laptops with power buttons on the sides(like phones/tablets) actually common?

    Path of Exile

    That's basically what I've been doing. Tendrils still seems better for single-target DPS, or if a huge amount of mobs get right up in my face. I generally try to Arc everything before it gets to me, and also still Arc bosses that are dangerous to be close to(Vaal), even though it's a slower...

    The other problem for me with switching to a cheaper plan, is my options are more limited with CDMA phones. Tmobile tried to get me to switch, and could have saved me about $30 a month on my family plan, buy to purchase 4 new phones to replace the ones I currently have was going to be like...

    For anyone in the guild playing Bloodlines league: If you come across any wands or shields with +lightning gem level, I'd be happy to buy them off of you. Preferably looking for something in the level 40-60ish range. I used the same damn lvl 3 blue wand for 42 levels, just because it had +1...

    Rerolled "Best Game of 2014"

    Path of Exile I'm overruling the rule that the game has to originally release in 2014. PoE has seen a large (free) expansion this year as well as multiple HUGE patches adding large amounts of new content and leagues to the game this year. I've put 300+ hours into PoE this year. I...

    Yeah, I know I could go a little cheaper, but I'm a mega tech nerd and have to get a new phone every year. Since I have 4 phones on my family plan, their upgrades are staggered to where one of them is upgrade-eligible about every 6 months, so I grab the latest and greatest for me and my wife...

    Yep, I was a senior in HS in 96, and 10 crunchy tacos at Taco Bell came to $4.20 after tax at my local Taco Bell. Fitting, really.

    Smartphones

    Yep, my step-sister pays like $100 a month for her new iPhone on Sprint. I have a family plan with unlimited data on Sprint that runs about $55 per phone(with each line getting a subsidized upgrade every 18 months), but it's an old plan I'm grandfathered into so I can't add more lines to it...

    I love sushi. Raw fish basically just tastes like a more intensely flavored version of cooked fish. If you aren't really a big fan of cooked tuna or salmon, you definitely aren't going to like it raw. I can definitely see how someone who isn't a big fan of seafood to begin with would REALLY...

    You're a better man than I if you can do a set of front raises with a bigass awkward carseat carrier. So glad we are done with those, there's no comfortable way of carrying a child in one of them

    Back when I was in college(late 90s), the local McDonalds had some sort of crazy promotion once where you could buy 5 Big Macs for $5. So of course I order that and attempt to eat them all. 4 1/2 Big Macs is my limit in 1 sitting. The next day was not pleasant. The same McDonalds(WTF was...

    Honestly, I put Tennessee in the same category as a Georgia, or Auburn, or LSU. Huge following, massive fanbase, recruits nationally and throughout their the majority of their history has been a nationally relevant team more often than not. But not *quite* on par with that top echelon of...

    Correct, I think the big Duplo Lego blocks are recommended up to age 5, then regular Legos are recommended for 5+. My 18 month old loves him some Duplo blocks. They're everwhere all over our house constantly.

    That's why I definitely think it takes more than a decade of mediocrity, closer to two before a program like the ones I mentioned are down and gone for good from elite status. Florida State was down for the last 9-10 years of Bobby Bowdens tenure before Jimbo got them back in the picture...

    Florida is most definitely a blue blood elite. They have as many National titles in the past 20 years as Michigan, Ohio St, Notre Dame and Tennessee combined. No one gives a shit about titles from before the forward pass was invented. Theres only two SEC teams that belong on the list and...

    Do you think Texas would be more likely to take the Oklahoma schools along with them, rather than the private Texas schools?(Baylor & TCU). Obviously the Oklahoma schools(currently) are much bigger brands than Baylor & TCU and more valuable, but that could be different in 5+ years if the...

    I could see Cincinnati, Uconn, USF, UCF, and maybe Memphis and/or Houston ended up in one of the "power" conferences eventually. The rest of the conference is trash though, no one will want them. I'll go ahead and guess that as we move towards 16-team conferences we might see Cinci, Memphis...

    College Basketball 2014-2015

    I would think so. 20+ years ago and through most of the history of college basketball, you could probably somewhat accurately predict/extrapolate how a team might perform from one year to the next, since your average player would progress from Freshman-Sophomore-Junior-Senior. You could...

    The conference season starting in January will start to give us a decent idea. Once teams settle into a set schedule of two games per week vs teams you've actually heard of, it gets a lot more interesting. Seems like this time of year, everyone is either playing some weird offshore tournament...

    Ham's Top Albums of 2014

    Are there any sites/magazines that split the difference between Pitchforks "trying so hard to be hipster that it hurts" vibe and Rolling Stone's "Springsteen and U2 are still relevant" reputation? There has to be a middle-ground somewhere that is a good resource for decent new music.
