    The Beer Thread

    Now that Ommegang owns Boulevard Brewing here in KC, I'm hoping they do a big beer festival like the one in Cooperstown each year. Boulevard has a HUGE presence all over KC, and they participate in just about everything that goes on around town but they really don't do a festival of their own...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Yeah, I can't remember the last time I played an RPG when there wasn't a full walkthrough available online in the first few days. Looks like M&M 10 flew far enough under the radar that there's not a whole lot of info out there on it. Feels good to figure shit out on your own, like all the...

    True Detective

    Yeah, Harrelson always talks like he has a mouth full of cotton, or chew. It's a little annoying, but he's been like that for a long time. FYI, for those of your enjoying McConaughey 's performance, if you haven't seen Dallas Buyers Club, do so, it's just as good if not better of a...

    Tomb Raider (X360/PS3/PC)

    I like how the graphical qualities 2 480x270 .gif files are being debated. It all looks like rubbish after playing at 2560x1440 on PC.

    I only took 1 week off when our kid came home, but our kid was in the hospital for 2 months before he got to come home, and I took a lot of random days off during those 2 months since my wife was pretty much living at the hospital and sleeping on a couch during that whole time. Had to give her...

    The Hateful Eight

    One of the articles I saw said Tarantino thought he had narrowed it down that it was Bruce Dern's Agent/Agency that did it. Something to the effect that he only sent it to like 3 or 4 people, and all of the others were past collaborators who had never leaked anything before, and the only...

    Anyone completed the tomb/ruin that is over in the desert near the Crag area that has all the pressure plates on the ground that lower the big columns in the middle of the room, eventually(I assume) giving you access to the treasure? I can't figure that shit out for anything, I ran all over...

    For being a horribly evil corporation as a whole, Bank of America has amazing employee benefits. My wife got 3 full months at 100% pay, and then within the next 12 months she can take an additional 3 months at 50% pay if she needs to. They offer the same thing to men as well, and my wife says...

    We started solid foods about a month ago as well. Just 1oz for dinner the first few weeks, now we're doing lunch and dinner. He HATES avocados, that was like the 3rd food we tried. Put a spoonful in his mouth and he just sat there and stared at us blankly with his mouth wide open. Would not...

    My wife got 3 months of maternity leave, and that is definitely on the long end of normal for women in the US. A lot only get a month or two. And Etoille, my wife is the same way. We're at 8 months now, and she really wants to get to 1 year with breastfeeding but we may not make it. Now...

    Childrens Leap pads

    The only caveat to Sprint giving them away for $50, is you have to get the minimum data plan for them as well, which is $5 a month for 2 years(so another $120 apiece)

    Post us up some benchmarks of those bad boys once you get them up and running. My go-to recently has been Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite, since the benchmarking tool is built-in. Super easy if you have one of those.

    True, it can be a bit tricky to find that window of time in-between the extreme markdowns to clear them out of inventory, and them actually being cleared out and gone. 660Tis are right in that window at the moment, they launched August '12 or so and there have been some huge markdowns on them...

    Even my wired connection would go to crap, and I have a 50mbps connection which is fairly beefy compared to most peoples home connecton. It almost seems like the actual bandwith being used never really matter, it was more about the number of connections, if 5+ things were actively...

    My Samsung Galaxy S4 basically did the same thing, picked it up off my desk one day and the screen looked like it was completely cracked, just garbled colors along what looked like a crack line in the middle of the device. Odd thing was, it was all 100% internal, you couldn't feel a single...

    Torrents absolutely used to kill my bandwith/router, regardless of how much they were actively uploading or downloading. I almost guarantee that you shut down your torrent program your problem will disappear. That's why I ended up getting a seedbox, I didn't want to always have my home network...

    Windows 8

    Theres really no difference in the way you upgrade/install going from 32bit Win 7 to 64bit Win 8. I'd recommend a clean wipe of your HD and then an install. I really, really don't like doing upgrade installs of operating systems. It just never works as cleanly as it should. Just make sure...

    RAM - you definitely don't need to go higher than 1600mhz, and you'd probably be fine with 8GB for quite a while. The difference going from 1600mhz ram to 2000 means virtually nothing for gaming HD: Get an SSD, seriously, get one at least big enough to put your OS on, any smaller 128GB drive...

    RPGs of 2014

    Not to derail the anime bashing, but... If you have a PC, grab Might and Magic X. It's a hell of a lot of fun. An old-school tile/turned-based RPG just like the old M&Ms, or games like Dungeon Master, Lands of Lore, Stonekeep, etc. Been playing the hell out of it all weekend. First RPG...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    I'd say you definitely want a healer and 2 DPS, what you do with the 4th spot seems a little up for debate. "Tanks" in the gamecan't necessarily eat most of the incoming damage in a fight, you can really only taunt 1 enemy per round(at least at low levels) and that taunt can miss just like a...

    Damn, this game is great. Decided to give it a try yesterday evening and the next thing I know it's 3AM. Basic question though, are there quests that eventually send you to all caves/dungeons or are there some that you stumble upon out in the world that you should just try to explore...

    Probably, the 2 together at max load is going to put you near 500W, more if you overclock. Than again, if you're spending $1500 on graphics cards, what's another $50 to go up to a 1000W power supply?

    Computer Issues

    Makes sense. A single-core processor is still going to need to be running tons of shit in the background of whatever game you are playing. Once you get to at least dual-core one core can be dedicated 100% to the game, with your OS and other crap running off the other.

    Nope not really. Even CPU clock speed doesn't make a massive difference. The difference in most games between my i5 3570k running at 3.4ghz or 4.6ghz is like 1-2 FPS. Your GPU is still going to determine 90% of your gaming performance.

    How many games do you need installed simultaneously? You should be able to install your OS and the 5 or 6 average games you might currently play and still only be at 50% capacity. But yeah, don't put your entire Steam library on the SSD.
