    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    We have had the opportunity to see what happens when a Franchise tries to ride what they think is the wave ("Woke, "female", "Modern audiences") and really what is happening is the tide is going out. After the crescendo that was Endgame, it would be hard for anyone to keep the music going but...

    Europa Universalis IV

    Then it will be a new game and I won't feel so chagrined at having to learn all new game mechanics for the same 12 year old game. Same thing for Stellaris but I am not so attached to Stellaris: Once I put it down I haven't tried to pick it back up. Do they revamp that game as well every...

    Europa Universalis IV

    I regularly bitch about this but allow myself to introduce myself. I started playing EU4 after a long time playing EU3 in 2010? and had like 1000? hours first year. I don't recognize a single term other than CoT in your whole post. I keep buying expansions but can't stick with a game long...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Microcenter isn't a shop per se but more like a smaller Frys/Best Buy chain. They charge more to incorporate non-Microcenter parts but they have some weird gaps in their selection, like no Arctic AIO coolers and sometimes not the best prices; although they will pricematch now anyone online...

    AssHat 2022 Final Round!

    Foler vs. Bubbles- THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE. FOLLOW THE PLAN. REMEMBER THE CODE. BBC ARE GREAT. I GIVE YOU THE ASSHAT KING. Bubbles can be an asshole but he isn't *THE* Asshat.

    This gets my goat. As Soldier Boy said so eloquently, "Fuck those kids". No one makes these people take these jobs. They aren't kids; these are young adults building their skills and their networks. I learned to build PCs while I was going to college and beating people up for a living running...

    I immediately checked everything when I got it home; build quality was top notch. Guy wasn't unskilled, just super lazy. If it took any mental effort, he just didn't want to do it. I think part of the trouble was lots of the people who go in there don't challenge them and I challenged their...

    I have been building PCs since 1994 and this time I took what I had bought to Microcenter, bought the MB, CPU, and case there and let them build it. $250 bucks and if you don't get a lazy as fuck tech like I did, it works out great. Even though I wasn't happy with the guy's ability to follow...

    AssHat 2022 Voting Round 5 - the Final Four!!

    Foler vs. Mudcrush Durtfeet: Curse you ratfuckers for making me choose between these two before the final. Bubbles vs. RobXIII- Nothing against Rob but this is a preemptive vote to forestall an attempt to STEAL THIS FROM FOLER. HE'S EARNED IT; LET HIM HAVE IT. FUCK HIS FAKE CAMPAIGNING.

    What's going to be weird is for the longest time I effectively had two PCs with only one video card, and when the new AMD card comes out and if I am able to buy one, I will have two video cards now with only one PC to put it in. Now I need to look at if I can build a small quiet Mini ITX...

    AssHat 2022 Voting Round 4. It's getting exciting!!!!

    Foler v. BoozeCube - There can be only One. Mudcrush Durtfeet vs. Bandwagon - There can be Another One. This side of the bracket was stupid, sorry LD. Lightning Lord Rule vs. Bubbles - There can be only one? RobXIII vs. fanaskin - There can be XIII; This joke sucks at this point, sorry Rob.

    God of War: Ragnarok

    So as I posted earlier, not playing it as a game but watching cut scenes of the major plot points. My son was so interested that today we sat down as a family and watched the 7 hour cut as the Saturday movie (Its Texas wet and cold). My opinion only, these are some of the most well-rounded...

    People need to be careful with all of these alt/joje votes for Brutal we don't end up with a Blue Line 3AM Surprise. Has anyone been counting?

    The comments make these some of the best comedy threads of the year. I hate voting for people that I like but its SO GOOD some of the delicious poisonous brotherly burns these threads produce. I am overstating it but still: FOH makes the magic happen.

    Foler vs. BrutulTM- There can be only One. Soygen vs. BoozeCube- BC is the best, how is he even on the list? Araysar vs. Mudcrush Durtfeet-Per Yoda, there is Another. Bandwagon vs. DickTrickle-The Form of the Traveler has been chosen. I think I was clear this time, sorry for the vote again...

    I have a 3080 12gb I just built into a machine just so I would have a platform for a 7900XTX. I wish it was a 6900XT so I could give Nvidia negative dollars after their time machine scalper priced 4000 series greedswaggle. I bought a 7700x to pair it with when really I should have gotten a...

    Wow this round sucked as well. Foler vs. Gavinmad - There can be only One. Lithose vs. BrutulTM - I had no idea Lithose was KIA/MIA. Soygen vs. Zapatta - When does Zapatta get out of internet jail? Masakari vs. BoozeCube - I have known Boozecube forever, sorry Araysar vs. Mr. Sox - .exe...

    God of War: Ragnarok

    While I really liked the narrative/aethstic/combat of the first?/last/fourth game, all of the SO MANY puzzles were to me off putting and boring, frankly, like this Penny Arcade comic: Its actually 3 images, I don't know why. So while at some point I plan on playing the game, with the condition...

    Copied from Boozecube who copied from Dick Trickle because I liked the formatting and it required the least amount of changes. Foler vs. Denamian - There can be only One. Adebisi vs. Gavinmad - Had to choose one and I interact with Gavin more, so hopefully he will understand; Congrats? on...

    I got one of these sitting behind me in the box right now and supposedly its the LG C1 panel. My office/desk set up is just not prepared for a 48" screen right now; I am having to do a reorg/clean up to shuffle cases around to fit a OL11 EVO build I just had done at MicroCenter for my 3080...

    AssHat of the year, 2022 version!

    I am just now finding this thread and want to register a protest about former winners not being eligible. Its not a trip to Vegas or a cash prize. It should be a punishment or albatross at best. IF DOGBOY WINS TWO YEARS IN A ROW, THEN LET DOGBOY WIN. Maybe not let someone not be nominated...

    The Witcher

    Like when that one guy couldn't be James Bond anymore, so they just changed the name of the spy? Jimmy Bundy? I appreciate your preference and understand what you are going for but that's not the way this IP in particular (or most IPs, really) works. Geralt of Rivia is the star of the books...

    The Witcher

    You don't kill the fucking main character of the whole series when you lose an actor. There are 7 books + more stories; why would you kill the star (Geralt) when you have to replace the actor? Don't get me wrong, I love Henry Cavill, he's the only watchable thing on the show but you didn't pay...
