    Have a system on the way with an i5-8400 and a 1080GTX. Wide variety of games, but I’m upgrading for FPS games first and foremost. I pulled up some reviews and they were mixed, so I’ll probably hold off and do more research. I don’t need an upgrade but if it was a really great deal I’d jump.

    Dell has their 27” S271DG on sale for $399, QHD at 144hz with G-SYNC I have an ASUS 27” QHD with a great pic, but no gsync and not 144hz... feedback?

    I’m upgrading from an M18x R1 with i7 2920xm and dual 780m - I looked at the userbenchmark.com comparisons and was 1) surprised that my old laptop was still able to run current games (albeit not on ultra high), and 2) excited about how much better this desktop will run.

    Yeah I’m probably going to pull the 1 TB EVO out of my laptop and put it in this.

    Thanks - I’d been considering building but this looked like a solid deal, and I have some funds available from an old credit from Dell plus 12 months no interest made it appealing.

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    I didn’t play in college, much less the NFL, so I’m no expert - but I just don’t get this “if they ain’t top 25, don’t talk to them.” Offers draw positive attention to the player - it’s not like Miami is seeing that Western Michigan offer and saying “ah hell, no chance we get him now.”

    I have a good friend that played OT for Duke in the 90s, he was never an NFL talent but he got that education paid for - funny that he liked basketball more but at 6’6” and 320 he realized football was his ticket.

    Good film for a sophomore playing varsity. I’d look hard at at least one camp this summer at a D1 college - a skills/fundamentals camp where you meet coaches and they see who your son is as well as his potential. Obviously has good size for a sophomore. I’m going to take my son to at least...

    The Beer Thread

    We met my daughter at the Carolina Ale House tonight for dinner, and they had Wicked Weed Pernicious on draft - so I ordered a pitcher just for me. Wife drove home - damn I’m still feeling it, but well worth it.

    Thanks man - holy fuck the rollercoaster! I was still cursing about taking the sack, then planning to have another kid and name him Tua in the same breath. And I just saw our center proposed to his hot girlfriend - damn that’s sweet.

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    I just hope they go to a bracket of eight soon - that way each conference champ goes, the best of the non P5 goes and there are two spots left for Alabama, so if they lose once in the playoffs that doesn’t automatically eliminate them.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    To be clear, I don’t resent her wanting sex - if she asks for/initiates it she gets it, and it’s not like I’m suffering in the process. I do resent her wanting sex but trying to make it all about doing me a favor or “meeting my needs.”

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah, I know how it sounds. A cautionary tale of the importance of communication early and often. It’s not that I’m wallowing in misery, just acknowledging the fact that it wasn’t what I expected it would be back then, and no doubt isn’t how she expected it would be now. I think perhaps she...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Heheh well it isn’t lost, but no doubt I don’t go asking for it every day. Whether that’s all libido or (more likely) a combination of lower libido, extra stress, resentment and just plain tired of her BS. I’ve mentioned it before but she’s had some issues related to being raised by a...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I’ve already gotten old. When we were younger my wife used to pull the “probably interested in sex, but cleaning the kitchen wears me out.” I’ve always done as much cleaning (both work full-time) as she has, but she can’t stand to let anything sit in the sink for even 30 minutes while we let...

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    I don’t get people complaining about them claiming a NC - they have an argument, they won every game they played and it doesn’t take anything from the Georgia/Alabama winner or anyone else - we survived decades of different teams being crowned champs, get over it. If I lived near Orlando I’d go...

    God I hate this cutesy read option flip the ball around bullshit, run pistol with a zone read down their fucking throats. Are we waiting for Clemson to get the lead before we give Harris more carries?

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    Played the 50 v. 50 mode, fun for a little while but if teams aren’t somewhat evenly matched it gets boring looking for people to kill - 4 x 25 next? Getting much better at duos, son and I are winning pretty regularly (PS4).

    If Georgia, Clemson, Oklahoma and Ohio State win, you have: Georgia, Clemson, Oklahoma... and Alabama/Miami/Ohio State. I’m not saying Alabama gets in, but if you think the committee wouldn’t consider putting them in ahead of tOSU and the U you haven’t been paying attention to the committees...

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    Not sure why we would need Auburn to win - really just need Wisconsin to lose, or Oklahoma, and then for the committee to decide who goes. Not saying they'd put us in, but that's our best chance.

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    Alabama may make it in, but losing to a two loss team by double digits (and looking inept while doing it) and not playing for the conference championship is a good argument to leave them out if there are other teams with better resumes and a conference championship.
