    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    This is the shit the Xbox blowhard keeps spewing at me on another forum. Complete lies. I bet he thinks Zimmerman stalked down Treyvon just to murder him also.

    This Is The End

    I saw it this weekend. It was entertaining a lot, yet very slow/dull a lot as well. The oh shit moments were funny. I laughed a fair amount, but this is definitely a DVD rental. Maybe have a few drinks before hand. *shrugs* You live you learn. I say you learn, but I'll absolutely see...

    Rent Vs. Buy housing

    I live in a town house. We have a heat pump. When I purchased the house (we paid $199k when the house initially went on the market for $250), our heat pump was pretty shot. 25 years old and in dire need of being replaced. I took another loan for $7800 to get a new system put in. We were...

    Quantum of Solace

    I'm pretty much right there with you Kreugen. I enjoyed Skyfall quite a bit and wasn't terribly fond of QoS. I think it was all the brooding love bullshit that really threw me off. Casino Royale was great though. I really enjoyed the Parkour chase in the beginning. The one thing about...

    He's already signed to do 2 more Bond films based off the success of Skyfall.

    That's because it absolutely is a scam. It's just a way for the banks to get even more money from you.

    Quantum of Solace

    It was extremely easy to follow. They practically spoon fed that having access to no water would drive up the prices making it the most valuable thing possible. His argument is that the idea of no water in a 3rd world shit hole wasn't interesting to him. Thus, he had little care in the...

    I had the PS3 when the console first came out. I decided that I actually like using the controller better than a remote, so I gave it away.

    Breaking Bad

    I popped the bluray on and recorded it with my old HD Flip. Enjoy. (PS - My camera has a hard time taking good quality video in a dark environment.) Might take a few minutes to go live, but whatever.

    Men's Fashion

    Soft jeans are nice, but I dislike when the super soft material makes it weaker. I also dislike "factory damage". That shitty torn knee style. I'll destroy my own jeans, thank you very much.

    Mad Men

    I'll be honest, I've never watched Sex and the City, and only maybe 1-2 episodes of Friends. I just remember a Kevin Smith podcast where he was talking about the apartment and how they realistically could never afford it. I figured that fit right into this already silly conversation.

    My case has 3 massive 230mm fans. They only run around 500-1000 RPM though, so it's a very quiet system. Rosewill Thor V2 if anyone cares. My case is black, but this picture really shows off how large these fans are.

    Health Problems

    I read this (VERY LONG) article and found it fascinating. It actually relates to a lot more than "just" MS. Pretty much any disease out there. It might have some relevance to whatever you're going through.

    I had a girlfriend with "The Rachel" haircut. BTW - How the fuck could they afford that apartment? You don't make that much selling coffee.

    Rent Vs. Buy housing

    You can still buy houses for under $10k in the US. And that's with super low interest to boot. Allow me to find some listings for you. Acually, this list of 18 houses can all be purchased for a grand total of under $10,000.00 Not a bad deal if you're in the market...

    Comic Books

    My favorite book on the market right now is Saga. It's 12 issues long (at the moment). Next 6 issues are coming later this year. Next up, I like the silliness that is "Invincible". Both of these are good reads. I used to love Savage Dragon, but that got too strange for me.

    My game plan works nicely. My wife and I both have full time jobs. She's a nurse that works 7pm -> 7am 3 days a week. I work a standard 7-4:30 deal. I have a deal with my boss though (I still hit a 40 hour week every week). On the nights that my wife works, the following day I don't go in...

    Yeah, when Logitech made their first 900 degree steering wheel for Gran Tourismo, I purchased it. It had paddle shifters, and gas/brake peddle. I took that and modded it myself to fit a full 15" steering wheel (same size as a normal car), just to make it more realistic. It came with an 11"...

    I will not pick up PS+ for the 4. I have a few games that are multi player, but I just don't have time for that shit anymore. I play them in single player mode, then retire them.

    Health Problems

    I know that others have mentioned it, but a lot of your symptoms are very familiar in an MS kind of way. When it comes to joint pain, does it change on a near daily basis? Like your left wrist one day, your knee the next. Both thumbs, then your ankle? Also, the numbness. Could you...

    Breaking Bad

    Walt is supposed to finish the series at his absolute lowest point in life. That's what they've said from the beginning. At first he was a science teacher that needed some money, but he progresses into a criminal mastermind. My guess is the final episode (or maybe 1 before), he'll have...

    Ok parents, I have another question. My daughter is closing in on 18 months old, and we brush her teeth EVERY night. And every night she fights when we do it. She sucks on the toothbrush on her own and wiggles her hand a little bit, but the second either my wife or I touches the brush, she...

    It's harder to program that 32 megs of special ram that has been giving Microsoft all of the chipset problems. So that's why it's harder. Aside from that, not much else. The PS4 is just a stronger machine allowing more CPU/Ram/GPU power to reach the actual games instead of being tied up by...

    It's possible, but they still ended up skull fucking Microsoft at E3. So good for them.

    Breaking Bad

    While I absolutely love the show, I'm a little annoyed with AMC's choice in releasing a half season (8 episodes) on Blu-Ray calling it the full season, for the full price. Looks like I'm going to need another Blu-ray set now for the 2nd half of season 5.

    Men's Fashion

    I don't disagree. But they did what I needed them to do for 2 1/2 years. I'm finally going to retire them and get something new, which is why I've come to you people for suggestions. I'll still wear these to do work around the house and retire my old "trash" shoes in the process.
