    Haha, as someone who spent like $800 on dual voodoo 2s back in the day... Don't do it. Spending that kind of money on video cards doesnt net you much in the long run. They're still going to be obsolete in 3-4 years. About the only thing that depreciates faster than a new car is a high end...

    Yeah I went about 15 months with my single 660ti and was still totally happy with it. I couldn't justify 2 $300 video cards last year, but now that I found a 2nd one for half that initial price, it was a no-brainer.

    Christ I'll be happy when brick & mortar retail is dead and we can all just get our Amazon drones to deliver shit to us the same day... Was in Toys R Us yesterday picking up Christmas presents for a few nephews and nieces, and there's a pimply-faced kid working in the video game section...

    My 2nd 660Ti arrived yesterday, and got it SLI'd with my old one. Damn nice improvement. The only game I have installed with a built-in benchmark is currently the new Tomb Raider, and it went from avg 50.1 FPS to 95.7 FPS with the second card. The max and min FPS numbers are odd though. The...

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    I went back 4 or 5 pages but couldn't find it, didn't someone here who is playing this on PC state that they totally stopped their crashing problem by changing something in the graphics settings, something with the shadows I vaguely remember? Just upgraded my vid card yesterday and now I'm...

    Why would Mora Jr even consider that? Its a lateral move at best. I Just can't see someone leaving ucla for Washington. No way.

    But if you aren't getting blue-chip lineman, it takes 3,4,5 years to develop high-level lineman through your strength and conditioning program. Some 2-star lineman isn't going to step on the field as a Freshman in a winning program, it's going to take years to develop him. That's where the...

    It won't be hard for him to get quality lineman to USC at all. O-line and D-line are probably the 2 hardest positions to get elite recruits, WRs and RBs that run a 4.4 40 are a dime a dozen nowadays, but truly elite lineman are highly sought after. Washington just wasn't back to the point of...

    I have a 1st gen Note 10.1 that I snagged for $150 on a sale earlier this year. My wife loves it, she barely even touches her laptop or Nook anymore. It's every bit as snappy and quick as my 1st gen Nexus 7, and the battery life is solid too.

    I think the only team in the SEC east that has been significantly down is Tennessee. Once they can get back to being a top-25 team regularly the East will be just as tough as the West. Floridas season is an anomaly, they probably won't have a losing record again for a long, long time. I'm...

    I'm pretty disappointed so far with Black Friday and Cyber Monday this year. I haven't seen a single thing for sale that was such a great deal that it surprised me, like I have usually multiple times in years past.

    2013 NFL Season

    Alex played well, the Chiefs receivers are ATROCIOUS. I would conservatively estimate that Chiefs receivers dropped another 50-75 yards worth of passes in this game. They did the same in the first game against Denver too. Probably cost the Chiefs at least 1 TD in each game, and that was...

    That kind of leads in to my ONLY gripe about Microcenter. The prices on the price tags on the shelves are often WAY out of date. I'd say at least 50% of the things I buy there ring up differently at the register(generally cheaper, which is good, but I'd still they rather show the correct price...

    Just get a wireless adapter and stick it in one of the many USB ports on the back of your case that you'll never use otherwise. You can get a decent wireless USB adapter for $10-$15 whereas that feature on a motherboard is probably going to run you $50 more(if not more, seems like only fairly...

    A married man was having an affair with his secretary. One day, their passions overcame them and they took off for her house, where they made passionate love all afternoon. Exhausted from the wild sex, they fell asleep, awakening around 8pm. As the man threw on his clothes, he told the woman...

    Within the first 30 seconds he uses autotune, and rhymes "bitches" with "bitches". Quality music Modern rap is just shit. Rap peaked around 1995 and it's been going downhill ever since. There was a slight bump up again in the late 90s when Eminem and JayZ came on the scene, but even they...

    Yeah, I blame Apple for that. Everyone was fucking fine just numbering things (1,2,3,4,etc) or labeling them by year (2012,2013,etc) and then Apple stopped numbering their iPads, and now everyone thinks its trendy to do so. It's confusing as fuck, and I'm sure many people have wasted time...

    And I bet Mizzou was further outside the top 25 to begin the year than Michigan St was. Hell, people were questioning if we would even make a bowl or not.

    True, the teams we beat didn't hold up their end of the bargain. Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss and A&M were all ranked when we beat them. They're probably all unranked ad of next week. Blech

    Whatever, Duke is going to knock off Florida St next week in the ACC title game Duke Football (10-2) has a better record than Duke Basektball(6-2) as of the end of November. When is the last time that happened? I'd almost guess never(maybe when Spurrier was their coach)

    Oh, they have a football team, its the Oklahoma Sooners (Norman is a suburb of OKC). They're more fanatical about football than 90% of NFL cities. Bricktown in OKC is a damn fun area for eating and drinking. Concerts, sporting events, and about 20-30 bars and restaurants all with a few...
