    Btw I'm in the same boat. I'm this close to ordering one myself. I really prefer the C7 because of the black bezel but that seems really trivial considering the price.

    NCAA Basketball- Corruption Arrests

    If the FBI starts dropping the hammer and makes it harder/more punitive to pay these kids under the table, then it may make more sense to go overseas. I'm not really arguing with anyone, I love college sports and basketball in particular. I'm in the camp that wants college sports to thrive. We...

    NCAA Basketball- Corruption Arrests

    I get what you're saying, but it's the colleges that need/want these kids, not the other way around.

    NCAA Basketball- Corruption Arrests

    Watch the draft, there's plenty of overseas exposure. The NBA will find good players. There are players that have and will continue to go overseas to play instead of college. Drafted 21st this year. Just the easiest example I could think of: Terrance Ferguson - Wikipedia Now you may ask, why...

    NCAA Basketball- Corruption Arrests

    That sounds like an institution problem. Ultimately these players are going to take advantage of their market value. If they can stay here and play college ball and get paid, black market or otherwise, they will. If they can't, then they will just go overseas until they meet the NBA age...

    NCAA Basketball- Corruption Arrests

    Yes, but we're not talking about the legality of it, we're talking about the market value. The market value for top tier players is more than a "free college education" that a top tier player will never actually finish and/or take advantage of.

    NCAA Basketball- Corruption Arrests

    Right now there is no parity. Bigger schools have nicer lockers rooms, facilities, strength trainers, nutritionists, higher paid coaches, dorms, etc, etc. Whether a school is paying the top 5% or not does not negate the smaller schools ability to get talent, they aren't competing for the same...

    You're wrong and the market doesn't agree with you, ergo, why these kids are 'getting paid'.

    NCAA Basketball- Corruption Arrests

    100% agree. On the one hand I'm sad/terrified because my team is implicated, on the other hand, it's going to be one hell of a ride watching these teams get named and the NCAA scrambling to do damage control. And you're right, this is par for the course, it's the worst kept secret amongst...

    How to Eat a Loaded Baked Potato

    Those do not sound like a baked potato. Fries, chips, au gratin, hash browned, mashed, cottage, croquette, latka, knish, poutine are all acceptable use of potatoes. Baked potatoes are for hobos and 1800s Irish immigrants.

    How to Eat a Loaded Baked Potato

    So you hate U2 but you love potatoes. What a conundrum for you. You ever ask yourself why a potato needs to be loaded to enjoy it? Because it's a fucking dirt seed, that's why.

Going to do the same thing with the PS4, going to wait until a bundle comes out that I want, may end up upgrading to Pro or might just get the slim. Either...

    No, I was just reading about game mode. I feel like I would have seen that when cruising through the menus but apparently I didn't. I also thought I read that changing the input title to PC would bypass all video processing, apparently that's an actual thing with Samsung TVs. I'll look for...

    Wired. Both TVs are Samsung and I renamed the input to PC (which is actually a thing). It was improved but still seems sluggish. Maybe it's the TVs? They're between 3-5 years old. I haven't spent a ton of time researching the issue, but I'd eventually like to do all my PC gaming from the...

    Two questions: 1) What does the 16% back mean? 2) I've been using the Steam Link and now the Nvidia Shield on an older Samsung display, do you have any experience with that on your display? I still feel like the control latency is too much for games like Doom etc when I stream from my PC to...
