    South Park Stick of Truth

    I think you would be fine. I'm playing at 2560x1440 and my video card(660Ti) never goes over like 40% usage. The graphic requirements have to be REALLY low for this game. I found the Al Gore fight to be easy once I decided to use the consumable that gives you 2 attacks per round. Was able...

    That whole concept of grades of meat is a false, FYI(at least in the United States) http://www.snopes.com/food/prepare/badmeat.asp tl;dr, Taco Bell beef is no different than the beef used in things such as hotdogs, frozen hamburger patties, sausages of various kinds, etc. Yeah it's not Prime...

    Yeah Chromecast is all about having a dedicated app for the service you want to use. If you do, it is GREAT. If not, it's pretty sketchy.

    Probably not every game at max/ultra settings. Battlefield 4 will probably average 30-35fps, and be totally playable. But that is reasonable for the price. It basically takes a 290x or Titan/780Ti to run Battlefield 4 at an average of 60FPS or higher. Even a 770 is only going to average ~45...

    Buying a car?

    How in the world would you ever know something like that without having a friend/relative that works at the dealership? I'm sure they are broadcasting their exact sales numbers to the public on a daily and monthly basis.

    You can't put enough onions on something for my liking. Chicken Carbonara sandwich at Quiznos has grilled onions by default, and I add a double-helping of raw red onions to it as well. It's amazing. So much onion that it's almost like eating something with wasabi/horseradish on it, you can...

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    Just give me the spinoff of Arya Stark being the most badass killer/assasin/bounty hunter in the 7 kingdoms as an adult. Lots of nudity, starring Summer Glau as adult Arya.

    Matrix prequel trilogy in the works for 2017

    So the prequels are basically just going to be Terminator movies, only (maybe) without the time travel. Show how the machines took over the world, only we know that the machines ultimately win and enslave all of mankind.

    Buying a car?

    Sinking a few grand per year into repairs on a car still isn't as much as throwing ~$400-$700 a month towards a car payment though. But there is definitely an inconvenience factor, if you don't have a backup vehicle to get by for a few days while your car is in the shop then it doesn't really...

    Computer Issues

    Chromecast does leave your network though, when you cast a youtube video or Netflix movie, the Chromecast itself streams the movie directly from the site of origin, not through your laptop/tablet. That's why you can then keep on using your laptop/tablet to do other stuff while the Chromecast...

    Does it mainly correspond with peak usage times, like 7-11pm in your local timezone? It could be completely out of your control, and just your ISP getting shitty when usage spikes up.

    Home buying thread

    Owning is definitely not cheaper than renting in most parts of the county, for comparable-sized structures, but the payoff to owning is that you(in theory) eventually get a chunk of your money back when you sell. With renting you just walk away with nothing to show for it.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Exactly. The only issue you should be running into with a used towel is making sure that it dries properly & quickly to reduce mildew buildup, make sure its not wadded up or folded over itself so it can dry properly after each use, and it still stays smelling fresh for about a week or...

    You would probably have trouble even getting a home equity loan from a lot of the big lenders with that little equity in your home. BofA for example won't even consider you unless your existing morgage + the new home equity loan still dont push you over about ~85% of the value of your home...

    Not sure if LG will have anything new real soon. The LG G2 just launched right after the Samsung Note 3 did last October. Neither is even 6 months old yet. AT this point I'd be leaning toward the Samsung S5, but hopefully we see what HTC has in store soon. HTC should have a new phone ready...

    Man, that Cincy/Uconn game was ugly as hell. Score was like 6-5 9 minutes into the first half, and then Cinci only had like 4 second half points about 9-10 minutes into that half. Felt like watching Big 10 basketball

    That's what cable/satellite companies want everyone to think. How about this...tv networks just start offering subscriber-based internet sites. You subscribe, you get the channel via your internet connection. You could have ESPN.tv, CNN.tv, ComedyCentral.tv, whatever. Just cut the middle...

    Comcast Agrees to Buy Time Warner Cable

    Here's the deal though with a-la-carte. I would HAPPILY pay more for the channels I want than what they cost now when bundled. I pay $90 a month for like 400 and some odd channels. I watch 7 channels 99% of the time. (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, FoxSports, AMC, FX, Comedy Central) ESPN costs like...

    Invasion all the way. I lost probably 400 levels worth of characters to Nemesis mode last time around(I'd always die somewhere in Act 3 with a level 55-65ish toon), why stop the fun now? lol. I always play self-found, solo. It's damn hard.
