    NFL 2014 Off-Season Thread

    I want to see the Pro Bowl just turn into a QB Challenge/Skill competition between all of the probowlers. Make the RB/WR/DBs compete in a 100 yard dash against each other, make the QBs do a skills challenge with hitting targets and crap, make the lineman do a mini strongman competition, etc...

    Online College Question

    Pretty much the only reason to get a degree from an online-only would be if you are in a current job position, you are qualified for a promotion, but you have been told you can't be promoted without a degree(for whatever reason). Then get the quick & cheap degree just to satisfy that job...

    True Detective

    It's totally throwing me off that McConaughey is the weird oddball and Harrelson is the straight/normal one. Just the exact opposite of their typical roles. Especially since the last couple movies I saw recently with Harrelson were Out of the Furnace and Seven Psychopaths. I like it though.

    Online College Question

    Yeah, basically he needs to not choose an online-only college. They are all for-profit and will nickel and dime you to death with ebooks and crap. It's what they do. They might be cheaper than the online degrees from a traditional 4-year university, but you also get what you pay for. What...

    Smartphones

    Christ, I have a 50 mbps home internet connection and I get impatient with it at times when downloading something big. I can't imagine having less than 5mbps on a home connection, that's like still living in the 90s.

    Online College Question

    It might not be online-only. A lot of legit 4 year universities now offer full online degree programs. Since he's already stated his aversion to the University of Phoenix, it looks like he knows to stay away from the shams like them and the other for-profit online only universities. One of...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    HBO has no history of letting a show run too long just to milk it for more money. You are getting them confused with Showtime(Dexter, Weeds) HBO's history says they're more likely to stop a show prematurely(Rome, Deadwood) if anything.

    From what I have read(I don't have 3d tv) since 24fps doesn't divide evenly into 60, 60 hz can cause some noticeable choppiness in 3d since a lot of conversion/processing has to be done on the fly. I Haven't seen this firsthand and it may not apply to every person or model of tv, but I've seen...

    Fuck me, was doing Cruel Piety on Nemesis and as I ran up to her, there was also a Nemesis NPC in her room, had to deal with both of them at the same time. Swear to god it took me half an hour to kill them both. The Nemesis NPC was a 2h warrior that would just leap slam all over the room while...

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    It's worth doing everything other than going out of your way to get every single treasure chest or animus fragments. Those don't really do a whole lot for you, and some are really tedious out in the middle of nowhere. I always snagged the ones that were in towns, but I never bothered stopping...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I know that at least Gamestop(not sure about Best Buy) has always been favored a bit by Sony/MS/Nintendo when hardware has been in short supply because their employees are trained to push add-ons like crazy. Extra controllers, games, peripherals, etc. There's a lot of systems that just walk...

    One of the main reasons I went to a seed box is that I've always had issues with torrents crapping up my internet connection, while not even coming close to maxing out my bandwith. Got to the point I'd often have to reset my damn router after leaving my PC on all night seeding/downloading...

    120hz is fine unless you plan on watching a lot of 3D, some people have issues watching 3D at 120hz(only 60hz per eye, some people see stuttering/choppiness). If you aren't doing the 3D thing, save some money and go 120hz.

    Yeah, the general public has no clue how the general market for electronics work.

    Which coach was it, maybe James Franklin, that said something like he'd never hire an assistant coach that had an ugly wife? Basically implying that a guy who can pull a hot chick WAY out of his league is a hell of a salesman and will be able to recruit well.

    If you do have to re-tile that is one of the easier DIY projects and it's relatively cheap as well. You'd be surprised how many tile options places like Home Depot or Lowes have that are under $5 a square foot. You can definitely spend a lot more than that, especially at a specialty tile...
