    Magic the Gathering - The Movie?

    No, animation is the medium. Anime is a genre, which then has sub-genres. 99% of it only appeals to people under the age of 15, and the Japanese(who seem to stop progressing socially around that age)

    We have noticed that, all of their options looks pretty similar. Traditional, natural wood tones. The only spots you can get a little crazy are the countertops with the various types of stone

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    My wife is completely dump-oblivious. I'd be doing my business and she'll just open the door and walk into the bathroom to get something. I'm not really a big fan of that at all, so I quickly learned to lock the damn door when I'm taking a dump. The whole thing is just gross. I don't want to...

    What do you do?

    Is that 188 Euros per month? Interesting. So you're at roughly 2.5x minimum wage in your country. Minimum wage in the US right now is $7.25 per hour. 2.5x that is ~$18 an hour, which based on a 40 hour work week is $38,000 per year. Definitely a liveable wage in most parts of the...

    So later this year there will be an Ikea opening in my city. I've never been to one before, there isn't one within 4-5 hours of here currently. Do they have any products that are seriously worth looking at for home remodeling? I've heard that they actually sell kitchen cabinets, bathroom...

    What do you do?

    Just curious, do you have a government mandated minimum wage in your country? And if so, how does your wage compare to it?

    I guess I have to assume that blackberrys device security is at a higher level than other phone manufacturers, that's the only reason why that would make sense.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah I was under the impression that Deadwoods producer/creator was only going to be given enough money to do 1 show by HBO, and he chose to go with John From Cincinnati instead of continue Deadwood. John from Cincinnati was maybe the worst show HBO ever made. Fucking idiot.

    EBook Readers

    I find that reading on a tablet in "night mode" (black background, white text, like this site) is just as easy on the eyes as e-ink. I just don't want to have to own one tablet for reading and another tablet for everything else. Much more convenient to have it all in 1 device.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    Seriously, you're missing out on a lot of great games and being able to control them well without a console controller for your PC. The Assassins Creed games, Dark Souls(2nd coming soon), Batman Arkham games, etc. Also racing games are WAY better with a controller than a kb&m if you don't have...

    Well, there will be price cuts but I don't know that they will qualify as "big". For example, on the last generation of releases, 660Tis were retailing around $300. When the $300 760s released, the 660Tis dropped to like $250-$275. So yeah, prices will probably drop some, but don't expect...

    I know the mechanical hard drive business has consolidated a lot in recent years, but are those the only 3 companies manufacturing them anymore? I hadn't really kept up on mechanical HDs lately, all of my attention has been on SSDs

    Whiskey

    I usually start out with a splash of water and an ice cube Then after a couple I'm down to just the ice cube then after a couple more drinking it straight up tastes as smooth as water Then I end up regretting everything the next day That's how I drink whiskey

    Definitely doesn't break my heart to see Ohio St losing this many games in a row. and WTF Villanova. How do you lose by 30 to Creighton? I haven't seen North Carolina play this year, but can anyone explain what is happening down there? Before the season started they not only had one of...

    Parks and Rec

    I'll actually be happy when Rob Lowe leaves the show here shortly, I've never really liked his character much. And hopefully Chris Pratt(Andy) doesn't stay so busy doing movies that his role in the show lessens, but I could see that happening. You can never have too much Andy.

    WDTV/ Roku Streamers

    I had my WDTV Livess before I even knew Plex and Rokus existed. I've had them a long time, probably 4-5 years(bought them when they first released, maybe 2009?), and they work great for what I do so I've never bothered to switch over. I don't really care about features like having cover art or...

    WDTV/ Roku Streamers

    WDTV can definitely do that. I have 2 WDTV boxes. Both have USB ports and I have my external media HDs just plugged into those, rather than my PC. Works great. The boxes can see the all of the HDs, as well as any folders I want to share across my network from my PC. Basicaly I have 3TB...

    The Beer Thread

    The problem is, you can get Pumking in about 2/3 of the country. Looks like Cigar City brewing is only available in 1 city basically. So Pumpking is probably the best one that 99% of the people on this board have access to. That seems to be the case with a lot of beers. Your local mom &...

    I just wish they would actually explain the feature, rather than list random buzzwords and meaningless jargon like "Put Your Frags First" and "hardcore power delivery". Those mean nothing. Makes it looks like something you would see in an advertisement in the movieIdiocracy

    EBook Readers

    I was referring more to the tablet e-readers from them both, the Kindle Fire line vs the Nook Color/HD line. Kindle restricts you to the Amazon app store and only reading .mobi files(unless you root the device). Nook is completely open and free. Can use any book format, can use any app store...

    Yep, ASRock is solid, I've had one of their motherboards in my current PC for about a year and a half now. Overclocks great(my i5 3570k is overclocked from 3.4 to 4.6ghz) and as stable as can be.

    That is extremely odd. My wired 360 controller worked perfectly the first time I ever plugged it into my PC years ago, and has worked with every game since with ZERO setup or configuration needed.

    Your DPS is going to be mostly your weapon + support gem choice. What are you using? Ideally you probably want a 2h mace with a BIG +%physical damage roll, then support your ground slam with an added fire gem (+fire as a % of physical damage) Make sure you support that with a belt that is...

    Note that this monitor is a CCFL LCD, not an LED I'ts going to be thicker, heavier, use more power, and be not as bright as the typical 27" Korean 2560x1440 LEDs. I'd stay away from that monitor, it's not a great deal. Get a 27" 1440p for $300, a 27" 1440p is the exact same DPI as a 30" 1600p
