    Being penalized for having TOO much talent around him. It's hard to say if he's actually really good, or was the beneficiary or playing behind an NFL offensive line with NFL skill players at his disposal. The amount of talent at Alabama is on another level above everyone else in college...

    Well the Jags just drafted Blaine Gabbert for a 2nd time. And let's hope that Manziel keeps falling, the Chiefs should draft a QB:

    Odd, only thing I can think of is that maybe 3DMark doesn't accurately measure typical gaming performance, or has an issue with SLI? If you look at this: GeForce GTX 760 SLI review - DX11: Tomb Raider 760 SLI = 95FPS on Tomb Raider at 1600p(without TressFX on) 780 = 74FPS Thats nearly...

    Yep, sure do, and those benchmarks I referenced were at max settings too (even that stupid hair physics crap on Tomb Raider that kills peformance, TressFX) I'm not going to claim that every game always stays over 60FPS, I'm sure it probably doesn't, but the average FPS is usually at that or...

    Maybe it's that my cards are 3GB that helps(I'm not sure if you start to be limited with 2GB at 1440p, you might in some games), but 760s should perform pretty much the same as 660Tis, and like I listed above, they run great(on current games, I can't predict what future releases will bring)

    Goddamnit, I need to kick some ass at my local Red Robin then. Last time I was there the waitress told me "you can add endless fires for an extra $1.99". Maybe it was just a temporary thing they tried and it failed so they went back to normal, this was probably 6-9 months ago at least.

    Honestly, it doesn't cost a ton of money to have the horsepower to game at 1440p right now. SLI'd 780s will be a beast, but you could also get 60+FPS in pretty much anything on max settings with SLI's 770s, and probably even 760s. My SLI'd 3GB 660Tis run great at 1440p. Benchmarks at about...

    I think Red Robin is pretty decent, but they don't have all you can eat fries anymore, which sucks. Then again, Fazolis doesn't have all you can eat garlic breadsticks anymore either, which also sucks. I think you can still get both if you pay extra, but fuck that, it used to be free. As...

    You've got plenty of horsepower to game at 1440p. I've had the QNIX for about 6 months now, and it's amazing. The big thing to watch for is the screen finish, glossy or matte. Glossy makes colors look a little more vivid and bold, but it also reflects like a mofo, kinda like a plasma TV...

    Word around Kansas City is that the Chiefs and Alex Smith have not been able to come to terms yet on a new contract. Rumor is that Alex wants 17mil a year, he currently gets 8, and the Chiefs are offering around 10-12. His current one is done after this season and he's a free agent. Chiefs...

    Dedicated MP3 player for Stereo System

    To be honest, I wouldn't worry about wireless connection/bandwidth issues with mp3s. You won't see any quality loss, your wireless connection would have to be unusually bad for that to become a factor. Even with the high quality 320kbps MP3s, the files are still so small that theres no issues...

    Windows can vary WILDLY in price. We don't have an overly large house(about 1400sq ft not counting the finished basement) and no unusual windows (no bay windows or anything) and when we got bids for new windows they ranged anywhere from like $6000 for the entire house(Lowes, Home Depot) to...

    I throw the frozen 1/3 lb angus burger patties from Costco right on the grill(medium heat). They cook up perfectly, decent char & grill marks on the outside and pink in the middle. Probably end up medium to medium well(which is perfect for a burger, you don't want a rare burger)

    Manziel is pretty solid. Really the only teams last year that stopped him were LSU and Missouri at the end of the season. LSU held him to 224 yards and Missouri to 195, and 2 TD and 2 INT in those 2 games. Rumor was he was hurt at the end of the year though. Early in the season he lit up...

    I gave up on American Horror Story halfway through the first season. Did it actually get better after that? I guess I could never get past the fact that all of their problems would have ceased to exist if they had just left the house. Durp. Why are you staying in a house that is trying to...

    Really liked the first episode. I just hope they aren't trying to mash too many stories together with Vampires/Frankenstein/Jack the Ripper all at the same time. They're basically taking everything scary/horror that can be tied to Victorian-era England and touching on all of it at once. That...

    Yeah, if you notice my battery is still at 93% overall. I think by that point in the day I had used my phone a total of about 30 minutes, with probably 6-7 hours of idle. Generally speaking, on my Note 3 I lose about 1% of my battery for every hour of idling.

    Just buy a barebones PC from Microcenter or any website that sells parts like Newegg or Tigerdirect. Then you'll have to swap out the video card, add an SSD, reinstall Windows, etc. At that point you could just build one for not much more effort, and a lot less money
