    RPGs of 2014

    Its a decade-old RPG. I doubt their collision detection and combat engine is so precise and complex that 60fps or 30fps makes any difference in gameplay whatsoever. Look, the 60fps vs 30fps argument makes sense in some games, it's a legitimate gameplay difference. This is not one of those...

    RPGs of 2014

    And what would be the point of 60 FPS in a slow-moving cartoon JRPG? Nothing. There is absolutely no benefit to 60fps over 30fps in a game like that.

    Meh, if it makes the woman happy and you have the money to do it, why not? What else are you going to spend a few grand on that'll get used every day for the next 30+ years? I'll spend more on computers and video games in the next 5 years than I spent on her ring, and that shit will be...

    I went to HS with a girl who became a Chiefs cheelreader. You only actually "work" for about 4-5 hours 8 times a season(most don't travel to away games). Unfortunately, all the practice time to get ready for those 8 games is on your own time on weekends and evenings. nobody makes enough as an...

    I think the ACC would have better odds of picking up 2 B12 teams, than the B12 would have of trying to pick up 6(!) ACC teams. The B12 is just too small, theres no chance they find 6 new schools to join them at this point, unless they start taking total jokes like Colorado St, or New Mexico...

    Engagement rings

    And there's the problem. Before I bought my wife's engagement ring I had her 95% talked into moissanite, she just wanted to actually see a stone in person. Nope. Went to, or called about 10-15 different jewelry stores and department stores in the city, nobody carried any moissanite jewelry of...

    Don Jon - Joseph Gordon-Levitt - Scarlett Johansson

    Finally got around to watching this after downloading it forever ago. Surprisingly good. It's like the anti-500 Days of Summer. I like both movies but they are almost complete opposites, yet end up at similar resolutions.

    Yeah, the feed basically uploads to the dropcam site constantly, that's why you can view it from anywhere, you don't have to just be on your home network. I honestly don't know what kind of monthly bandwith it uses, I've never really tracked it too closely since I'm always torrenting movies...

    The problem with the B12 and ACC both(and really any conference) is that no one really wants those bottom 3 or 4 teams. No football conference wants kansas or iowa st, just like no one really would want duke or wake forrest football if the ACC fell apart. Hell if the SEC or B10 fell apart in...

    Is the Death of the Big 12 Inevitable? | Bleacher Report Makes sense, the Big 12 needs to get bigger to get a championship game, but there's basically no other football programs out there that would improve the conference, that aren't already in one of the other 4 power conferences. And at...

    Yeah, all TW did here in Kansas City was to basically bump everyone up to the next already-existing tier for the same price. My $60 a month for 25/5 became $60 a month for 50/5. Of course then about 6 months after that they hiked everyones rates $5-$10 a month, which they claim would have...

    I wish the leagues were set up in a way that say, a 1-hour race was able to be entered by anyone, but only once, and at the time of their choosing. A leaderboard would be kept on who got the furthest, and it would close at a certain time, whether thats 24 hours later, 48, a week, whatever...

    The thread on Reddit yesterday about all the new Google Fiber cities kinda cracked me up. People were rejoicing like they had just won the lottery. Little do they realize it'll probably be 5+ years before they actually have access to it. If they roll out like they do in KC, people are going...

    I'm no help, I've only ever dealt with water cooling a CPU, I've never even looked into GPU water cooling. I guess my general feeling is, why spend hundreds of dollars on water cooling a GPU when the added performance would be greater by just spending that money on a better card/additional...
