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

    Thought that trailer was pretty underwhelming, really trying hard to go for the GTA 5 audience. Used to have such high expectations and hope for Watch Dogs. I wonder how many video game trailers have people getting shot point blank in them like that... surprised anyone thought that was a good...

    I have a Blu-Ray burner, when it sat in the box for over a year until my next build that should have been a sign I didn't need it. Oh, and for some reason I kept my old DVD drive too, you know, in case the 90s call and they want to copy a disc to another disc without swapping. Really need to...

    Yeah, responsiveness I give high marks to Apple for, it's when I want to do anything other than explicitly allowed to do with the device that I run into troubles and are probably why I won't go back to that ecosystem.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    I get tired of different things in each game and am currently flip flopping between them. A lot of shit out in March that will break that habit, but it's more likely than anything I'll take a break from MH until more heroes are released.

    Anyone actually use a dedicated sound card? Think my last one was an Audigy and I stopped using it because Creative wanted me to pay for new drivers. It's been all onboard ever since.

    My son's favorite is Hold Still, by a mile. We just say "hold stillllllll" and he goes into the routine, lol. Forgot they have live tours and stuff, he'd love something like this.

    My son has learned a shitton from his Kindle Fire full of apps, Sesame Street, Fresh Beat Band, Dora (that show encourages stuttering, lol "D-d-d-d-Dora!"), Bubble Guppies, Barney, Yo Gabba Gabba (wtf is this shit), etc. Amazing that I had to wait all week for Sesame Street and he has it on...

    Not much has made me want to root my Note 3 aside from maybe working on battery life improvements a little. The Note 2 I had to root as soon as convenienct because of how big some of the default items in the pulldown menu were and it bugged me. I do have this thing with Facebook and some...

    Rubbing alcohol wins. Also, white vs white, my QNIX 30" makes my old Dell 2405FPW look like shit. Not as bad as this picture (the Dell has a flicker in my cell camera, the QNIX doesnt) but still, pretty bad. Now I want another QNIX more than ever

    Home buying thread

    Makes sense. I guess I could have been more open ended with my question and just asked about best practices for selling/buying simultaneously

    Home buying thread

    That's the goal. Selling/buying simultaneously isn't something I've ever done and the idea of something temporary in between with wife, 2 kids/dogs/cats and all our crap is scary. So point of it is to use the equity to do it sooner rather than later.

    Home buying thread

    How common is it to borrow against your existing home equity to purchase another home (with the intention of immediately selling the original, repaying back the home equity loan) ? Our mortgage is down to less than $130k, Zillow values up over $170k (FWIW, realtor says Zillow numbers in our...

    Still waiting for Trevor to be a clone of the real thing, or all of this just being part of Mandarin's plan as he's broken out and dons his rings - just so Kingsley can remain playing the character. Killian even had the Mandarin tattoos though :/

    Surprised Tearaway isn't on there... and not surprised to see Injustice drop to half off 48 hours after i paid full price. That's what I get for balking at $35 on sale last month. It was even cheaper at Amazon for a little while too. Amazing fucking game as a comic fan and after bingeing on...

    I like my G930, but sometimes they get fussy and cut in/out, and they can start to feel loose and bulky, and make me wish I had something simpler when I rarely use the mic.
