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

    I've never bought one, and even though I could also easily pirate/torrent most DLC I don't even bother with that either. Just no desire to go back to a game unless it's a full-blown expansion/sequel

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

    Does anyone else almost never play DLC for games? Once I beat a game I almost never have a desire to go back and play an extra couple hours of it weeks or months later. I don't think I've ever played any DLC unless it was available on release day with the main game, or it was DLC for an...

    Yeah, it took twice as long for FedEx to ship my monitor stand from Miami to Missouri as it did for my monitor to ship from South Korea to Missouri. Ordered both on a thursday night, Monitor was here on Monday, stand not until Thursday. Paid for the cheapest/free ground shipping on both.

    The Quiznos conveyor belt through the toaster oven is definitely WAY better than Subways goddamn microwaves. And anymore, Quiznos is no more expensive than Subway. The good subs at both places are like $8-$9

    Yeah, I'm torn on the gaming issue and what to do about it in a few years. On the one hand, I can't WAIT until my son is old enough that we can play some co-op Lego or Mario games together, but I also don't want him to grow up to be a social shut-in. Believe me, in my years of working at...

    Peanut allergies just totally baffle me. Peanut allergies basically didn't exist when I was a kid 30 years ago.

    Here is what I'm hoping for in Season 4(assuming there is a season 4?) Carrie goes to Istanbul or wherever the hell it was they were sending her, and since she can hand-pick her own people she takes Quinn with her and he becomes a major character, carrying out missions for her and such. I...

    Sooner would be ideal, but then my wife would never see the kid, and she likes some time with him in the evening beyond just feeding him. She often doesn't get home until 7(sometimes a little after), and I also don't want to be eating dinner at 9:00 if we do all the kid stuff first, lol.

    My overall gaming time has definitely dropped, but there's still time to do it. I made it all the way through Assassins Creed 4, but it took me a month to do it, playing an hour or two a day. My wife works longer hours than I do, she leaves for work an hour before I do, and often doesnt get...

    Lavender is legit though, studies have shown that the scent is soothing and relaxing for babies. You can get all sorts of baby lavender oils, lotions, even sprays to spray their bed with to make it smell like lavender. It's a pretty safe and harmless thing to try, I think we're going to get...

    Vizio is a perfectly fine brand. They aren't the best, but they're cheap, reliable, and have decent picture quality. Sure you can get better, but you can also do a whole lot worse. They're a very good balance of price/performance. They're like the Honda of TVs. Reliable, affordable, but not...

    I ran my i5 3570k at 4.6 ghz for 1 full year without a single crash(and maybe like 10-15 reboots total during that time, it stayed on 24/7) under Win 7, I'd say that was pretty stable. Going to jack around with adjusting my RAM voltage this weekend to see if I can get that OC back under Win 8

    Yeah, it makes absolutely no sense to me that the operating system would have a major bearing in the stability of the hardware while overclocked. Basically the performance gains I was expecting out of 8.1 were offset by having to drop my processor back down by 600mhz. Oh well, at least 8.1...
