    I've been using a portable/external USB dvd drive/burner for several years now, I haven't had any drives installed in my PC besides hard drives in probably half a decade, works out great. I almost never use it, I plug it in maybe once a much to burn a movie or something for someone but I...

    Here's what needs to happen re: optical drives PS5/XBOne2 need to just ship with a 64GB thumb drive included in the box(by the time those systems release, that's like a $5 manufacturing cost added to the console) All games can be purchased/downloaded online for people with good broadband...

    Path of Exile

    I would highly recommend playing 1 character on non-hardcore(normal mode) through at least normal difficulty, if only to get down the basic mechanics of the game and see a wide variety of encounters and enemies. At that point if you feel comfortable in what you are doing, switch over to...

    Recommend a dating site

    Maybe I'm odd, but pretty much every woman I ever went out on a date with in my life, it either lasted exactly 1 date and no more, or lasted 6+ months. I'm usually a pretty good judge on the first date if someone is going to be worth spending significant more time on. I don't think I ever...

    Recommend a dating site

    No judging here, but I have leftovers in my fridge that are older than the average "relationship" length here from some of you. Dating someone different every month sounds exhausting to me. Hell, you barely know someone in just a month or two. Sure, we've all had horrible 1-off dates, but I'd...

    I'd have been a little more accepting of the shitty wife/daughter stuff with brodys family if the daughter had been as hot as the wife. She wasn't close.

    Vizio generally not quite as good as Samsung of Sony, but they are generally much, much cheaper for still decent quality. Your average consumer may not see much difference between a $500 Vizio and a $1500 Sony/Samsung, that's where Vizio shines is in the price to quality ratio

    8 or 8.1 pro, really doesn't matter. 8.1 is a free upgrade if you have 8. If you can get 8.1 right off the bat it might save you a little extra downloading time is all.

    Schlafly's pumpkin ale is one of the stronger flavored pumpkin ales that I've had.

    Yeah, thats probably the top picture I linked, right? That looks exactly like my EVGA 660Ti that I bought the day they released last year, it is just stock cooling, and it overclocks great.

    Brand really doesn't matter a whole lot, everyone sticks to Nvidia or AMDs base design for the most part, about all they do beyond that is add more/better fans for cooling. Usually stock cooling on most low to midrange cards are only going to have 1 fan on them, if you can find a manufacturer...

    Showtime is pretty bad about milking its popular shows and running them into the ground (Dexter, Weeds) HBO angers me sometimes when they kill off a show too soon (Deadwood, Rome, etc), but at least they almost never let a show run multiple seasons past its prime, degrading into a shell of...

    Tough call, the PC version of Dark Souls was a mess until some user-created patches fixed various problems. Hopefully the developer has learned from their mistakes the first time around.

    We have not, we fight with him several times a day to try to get him to nap, we usually struggle with crying, screaming, rocking him, holding him, etc for longer than he even ends up sleeping for. Sometimes getting a 30 minute nap out of him is an hour-long ordeal to get there. I've never...

    Right now I'd just stick with Nvidia GPUs due to AMDs weird bitcoin inflated prices and scarce availability. If it's in your budget to shell out $250 for a video card, the 760s are quite good. If you have a $400 budget for a video card, the 770s are awesome as well. If you need to stay...

    I'd just really hesitate at going super cheap on the CPU, I think you're going to regret going with an AMD 6300 within a couple years. Another thing to think about is doing something like this: PCPartPicker part list/Price breakdown by merchant/Benchmarks CPU:Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz...

    There's always the occasional exception or crazy sale, but generally speaking if you spend under $100 on a motherboard you're getting a piece of crap. I'd be VERY wary of any mobo that is significantly under $100.

    The games just feel like old-school gaming at its best. Demon Souls gave me the same feeling of wonderment that I got as a kid the first time I played something like Metroid or Castlevania.

    Just FYI, Target is apparently offering 10% off everything in their store this weekend (Dec 21 & 22)to make up for their credit card security breach. Might be a good time to snag a system that normally you'd never see any sort of discount or coupon for yet. Thats $50 off an XBOne.
