    That has some great looking minis. I'd probably back it if I didn't back Explore It.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Just installed a bunch of Ubiquiti stuff at home, 2 APs and a Gateway. Great stuff so far. Got a key for remote management because reasons. Lots of data about what's going on w/ my network.

    Yeah, looks neat, in for one. Can't wait to say 'who wants to play Explore It' and the ensuing looks of wtf.

    Whatever is next is worth waiting for, and for enthusiasts the tech we have now is worth buying ;) Good luck holding off. :D

    Yeah, even hardwired it's stuttering. Will try DNS and a new cable before starting to blame the TV probably. Also have a new router coming today too.

    I fixed the general connectivity issues by unplugging the set for a few minutes. Still having a lot of choppiness w/ streaming though that's frustrating. Other devices connected to the same AP (currently moving over to some UniFi stuff, 2 APs up, Gateway will be here Tuesday) stream just fine...

    Hugh Jackman: Logan

    Believe the expected plan is Deadpool 2 introduces Cable, then Deadpool 3 introduces/segues into X-Force. There's a New Mutants movie starting production and there's a push to do a Dark Phoenix X-Men movie but not sure if that's really going anywhere. There's an X-Men TV series pilot that's...

    Ghost Recon at 2560x1080 I'm only running on very high to keep it closer to 50-60 fps, is really the only game recently that made me wish I had more power, tbh. I'm sure it'd let me do more supersampling w/ the Vive too. I know I could absolutely be fine w/ it for a while, more of a nice to have.

    The more I read the more it seems my i5-4690k (stock) is fine for another gen or two of processors (and if anything, overclock it) and if I feel the need to splurge on something it's moving up to a 1080 Ti from my 980 Ti. Agree/disagree?

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    It's not streaming, it's basically a temporary license for 100+ titles to download and play. Everything in the current test catalog has been on GWG at some point some Gears of War titles. If you want to keep it permanently the subscription gives you an extra discount on buying it.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I own literally all of the titles in the preview. Only a couple dozen there now, but all have been Games with Gold titles + Gears of War. Wouldn't sub as-is but do like the setup. It's a way to monetize people who don't even use Gold very often by giving them access to the bulk of the games...

    If it's a good value why is that bad? lol. If you don't use it then you unsubscribe. Been waiting for other publishers version of EA Access, this could end up more or less being that. Edit: I'm in the alpha, a couple dozen games available for testing, if this was the full slate I wouldn't sub...

    Ghost Recon: Wildlands

    Will be interested in reviews, how different the terrain gets, and how different the boss fights are. If they're all just 'go to a cabin in the wilderness and have a shootout in the basement' then blah, but I expect them to get more interesting. Especially if later on enemies start using...

    Not sure it's public, but that kind of stuff is being worked on. One of the New Horizons guys I follow tweeted that it was something he was working on a month or two ago IIRC. I'm sure you can expect things like this to bump up in importance, and I think at the presser there was some...

    Marvel's Iron Fist

    Everything with Luke Cage and Cottonmouth was great. Once it moved away from that, blah. Not a big Kung Fu fan, probably the most skeptical for Iron Fist, but none of these characters have been very interesting to me before the Netflix shows and they've all been able to win me over to some degree.
