    Ballers (HBO show with The Rock)

    Watched every episode of this series this weekend for the first time before watching the new one tonight. Fun times. Came for The Rock, and stayed due to him and the rest of the awesome supporting cast. As a Vegas local, obviously interested in where this goes when talking about bringing the...

    Gah, I have those 6p button press issues too. Tends to restart into the safe mode menu, or just get turned off. One time it decided to not turn back on for over a day, but don't have any of the other battery problems thankfully.

    That's kinda where I'm at w/ PSNow. As they start adding PS4 titles, if I ever get the itch to play any of the Sony properties I wouldn't mind trying it for a month occasionally.

    Friend who is a noob was party leader so we could run through his defense and other missions. Somehow he queued us up for a mission where everything was level 19. Most fun we had all night, lol. We're all between 3 and 15, and were facing shit we've never seen before (Smashers, some tall AOE...

    Right now there's Founder Boxes, I expect that will regularly cycle out to feature different things/events/themes and that will be one of the larger incentives to buy vbux.

    I kinda fed the collections more or less everything except for non-duplicate heroes blue and above. I'm still on the first island, don't really need to do a whole lot aside from basic structures. I'm looking forward to the harder levels, hope we get flyers or something too at some point. Build...

    Anyone making plans to try and see the eclipse on 8/21? Next one in North America is in 2024. Might try and use my flight benefits and catch it in Kansas City.

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

    Aren't the bulk of these wrong though? I've gotten every form of currency via quests, and then more I think from my collections. Currently have 2 quests that would give me 50 V-bucks each, enough to buy an upgrade box... which would likely then give me another currency from those to buy another...

    Ghost Recon: Wildlands

    co-op w/ 3-4 friends and I think we're 35 or so hours in and have just wiped out half of the bosses, opening up the final missions. Think we're probably going to take out the rest first. Shifting to Fortnite for now though.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    We need some version of this for the development of the app (just in reverse as the ideal app is stripped down to what we have now) Pentagon Wars btw, the whole movie is on Youtube.

    How long are the average matches you can jump into? I really need another Rocket League, over 400 hours in and I probably only play it 20-30 minutes at a time.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    So if you don't really PVP but enjoyed some of the PVE in the first, does Destiny 2 seem better or worse than the first? Or too early to tell?

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Instead of playing his Switch my son always wants to go to Gamestop and play whatever platformer they have on the demo 3ds. Nothing even on the horizon like any of the Yoshi, Mario, etc platformers is there? How can a Nintendo platform not have a ton of these remotely close to launch?

    Thanks @jeydax, gives me some stuff to tinker with. I have 2x Lite APs. With one sitting on my computer tower facing up towards the family room and the other vertical facing away from an external wall I don't think I'm in too bad of shape as far as positioning goes. My ring doorbell is...

    Wanted an HP Elite X3 for a long time, now that it's $499 I can't seem to pull the trigger on a 1-2 y/o phone. I hate always wanting newer stuff.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    How important is the orientation of those? For example the base AP is sitting flat on top of my computer case, the secondary wireless AP is across the house, horizontal on the wall. Guessing ideally they should be flat against the ceiling? Anyone done some testing/tinkering or am I just...

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    I'm skeptical that's something I'd want. I'm not interested in a self-contained unit, I want something that will use the power of my PC or console. Probably just not the product for me, but instead will be competing with all the AR sets we'll probably see next year for a lot less than...

    Amazon Echo - no thread yet?

    Yeah, a form of that deal has been around for a few days. Was going to get our 3rd Dot but it disappeared from the Alexa deals page (get another +$10 credit if we used that). Edit: it never reappeared on the page, but tried again on our Echo and got it ordered. Think today I'm only in for...

    I like the Carnage one because you posted a book I actually have, lol. Sometimes I regret I wasn't more of a collector when I was 12 and working at my first job in a comic shop. It's fun not really being a collector now, but sometimes I do kinda want to start picking these up, maybe get a...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yeah, that got me to stop playing on consoles. Hacked weapons and very easy to dupe, even on accident. Though if you're just playing w/ friends/solo probably not that big of a deal.

    Comic Books

    That's awesome. At some point I'll end up picking up a couple of books like those, but I'm sure they'll probably double in value before I get around to doing it. So instead I just have this as probably my favorite in my collection. It's in bad shape, but meeting Stan Lee and getting a picture...

    It varies. Best Buy dropped their trade in value by more than half (from like $200 to $76) half for 1 week so I ended up having to get my One S from Gamestop when it released.
