    Tablets

    I'm looking for a cheap tablet for school stuff -- really don't know much about them. Any opinions on this Android 4.1 tablet by Indolian (never heard of them, but Amazon user reviews are positive so far)? I've used a relative's iPad for a few minutes but no basis for comparison beyond that...

    Dark Souls 2

    While not particularly difficult, I really despised the two hydra fights. Trying to melee the attacking heads was annoying due to having to fight the camera.

    Dark Souls 2

    I know for myself, at first, I fucking hated the game (Demon Souls). It wasn't that it was "too hard"...it was kind of a combination of things like the getting used to the controls and having to start all over again when you died. Then, as I started opening up shortcuts, the game kinda clicked...

    Arcade Machines

    I'd have to say Pac-Man for nostalgia. It was the first stand-up arcade game I played.

    Classes are just stat allocations plus a starting item.

    Dark Souls 2

    How is the 360 version's framerate compared to the PS3? I have the PS3 version and the framerate is fucking horrible in Blighttown. Curious if the 360 suffers from this as well. And, yes, great game. This and Demon's Souls will put hair on your chest.

    surge protector/UPS

    One computer is an i2500K non-overclocked. Video card is a Radeon 6970, houses an 120GB SSD and a 750GB 5400RPM HDD. Second computer is an AMD 965, again non-overclocked. Video is a Radeon 4850, contains 3 1TB 5400RPM hard drives and a 250GB 7200PRM drive. That's about it. Don't really...

    surge protector/UPS

    I had the power blink off for 15 seconds just now...getting tired of this. I finally decided I need to buy a UPS. Okay, so how many watts would I need to power two computers for 5 minutes or so? -- just long enough to keep things running during blippish power outages that I occasionally...

    There are some nice twists to the crimes. WAY better thanThe Mentalistwhich is about as generic and predictable as you can get.

    Weight Loss Thread

    Sean, I believe you said you're on disability? Not sure what kind of course, but I highly recommend adding workouts (if possible) in addition to your diet plan. I started doing P90X and Insanity a couple of years ago and lost 40 lbs. I'm at a point now where I can eat pretty much anything...

    Ratings have been pretty decent. It'll more than likely get renewed.

    I think Lewis has been signed on for 5 seasons? So, revise your prediction.

    "Good" games, that you hate.

    Gears of War. Never played 2 or 3 because I fucking hated the first one.

    Not sure what you were expecting, but this game in no way deserves getting refunded.

    NZBMatrix is dead. What now?

    I use NZBS.org and Filesharingtalk...but for me the downloads are incomplete. I'm assuming stuff is being deleted off of the news server? I'm using Giganews. I noticed recently that a lot of shows are being named something cryptically numeric, so prying eyes can't tell what exactly it is...

    What Does Your Car Say About You? (The Car Thread)

    I love the Pontiac Trans Ams during that time. You know, the Smokey and the Bandit one with the golden, screaming chicken on the hood.

    Buying a car?

    I fail to see how a BMW, Mercedes, or whatever is a "status symbol" when it has a shit ton of miles on it. A guy here at work bought a BMW 5-series, had about 90K miles and a month later the transmission dies. Costed him 5 grand to fix. Get the Elantra, odds are it will be trouble-free for...

    What Does Your Car Say About You? (The Car Thread)

    I had a 05 Legacy GT. Fast as shit. Kinda wish I had kept it as they're kinda rare. I really like Subaru. Rumor has it that 2014 will bring us a turbo BRZ. That will be mighty tempting.
