    Smartphones

    Yeah, I don't really want to deal with throttling either. We have no wifi in our office at work, so I actually use 4G data 8-10 hours a day M-F, I'd be pretty pissy if I got throttled down to 2G speeds. I also bring my tablet to work with me pretty often and tether off of my phones internet...

    Smartphones

    I'm trying to justify spending $300 on a Nexus 5 or $350 on a Note 3, as opposed to just getting another Galaxy S4 for $200. I've decided I'm going to stick with my Sprint contract, I just don't want to live without unlimited data. Some months I do only use 2 or 3 GB, but I've had months where...

    The Fast Food Thread

    For the record, the new Leawood location of Oklahoma Joe's absolutely sucks. I should have known it was a bad sign when it was dinner time and there was no line or wait. The food was cold, tasted like it had been cooked a week before. I've never had a bad experience with the original 47th St...

    Definitely something I'll check back on in about a year, when it hopefully resembles a game made this decade

    Here is CBS's projected BCS standings. NCAA College Football Rankings - CBSSports.com Basically 1-9 are the same, then everything gets wonky starting at 10 compared to the other list.

    Buying a car?

    Ok, so one random bank has an internet-only special rate that is decent. The other 99.99% of banks are going to give you a higher interest rate on a used car. I just went through this process a few months ago, and my wife is a manager at a branch of a large national bank. We looked at used...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    I tried to like this game, but it just isn't good at this point in time. Game needs a LOT of work, feels like it's years away from what could be considered a quality release. Controls are terrible and the interface is pretty bad as well.

    Had you asked us a month ago, 75% of Missouri fans would have jumped at the chance for Pinkel to leave. Probably closer to 90% after the end of last year. He's been much maligned around here for the past few years. That being said, for better or worse he's here until he retires. His adult...

    Desktop Computers

    Put all your upgrade money into a video card. Your processor and motherboard are prefectly fine. Although I would look into why Windows is only recognizing 8GB of RAM(I assume you have 3 sticks of 4 MB)

    Skylanders Swap Force

    Could you imagine the outrage if Blizzard released Diablo 4 with one playable character, and the other playable characters/classes all required and addtional $10-$15 purchase, and were all available at launch(i.e. not expansion packs a year later)

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    All the steroid scandals in baseball pretty much killed the value of cards from that era. All the guys who were rookies in the 80s and early 90s were most of the people tied up in the steroid scandals. McGwire and Canseco rookie cards from 86 and 87 were worth some good money as of the late...

    Skylanders Swap Force

    It's actually a pretty good game. At it's core, its an action RPG, like Diablo or Torchlight. Kill monsters, get experience, collect gold, level up. It's a little bit slower paced than those games since it's aimed at younger kids, but the game is also multiplayer co-op, which seems to be a...

    2013 NFL Season

    I've seen a lot of ex San Francisco QBs come through KC. I have a bad feeling that Alex Smith is closer to Elvis Grbac than he is Joe Montana. Maybe if we're lucky he's Steve Bono, those were some decent years.

    Awesome kids toys that you play with

    Here is my tale of Transformer woe... I had a shitload of transformers as a kid in the 80s, the original die-cast metal transformers. Optimus Prime, Megatron, Galvatron, Starscream, Constructigons, etc. TONS. Well, one summer when I was bored and probably about 11 or 12 years old, I...

    2013 NFL Season

    I've been a Chiefs fan for about 30 years. I'm not saying a goddamn word about this season until we win a game in the postseason. I've seen too many 13-3 seasons end in utter futility. Not a goddamn word Just for the love of god, I don't want to play the Colts as our first...

    Skylanders is fucking genius. Make an addictive diablo-lite video game, and make buying hundreds of dollars worth of action figures a part of the game if you want to play as different characters and see all of the content. It's like a goddamn license to print money...I wish I would have...

    Grand Theft Auto V

    I don't think so...I did a team deathmatch shortly after I started playing online last weekend, and I would have definitely noticed losing like 20K, that would have been all my money at the time.

    Honestly, that's still a really solid system. However, if you absolutely MUST upgrade, here is what you are looking at for graphic card options Out of the new line of AMD cards, the new 280x is basically on par with the previous 7970(if not a little faster), and the 280x is only $300...

    You're hoping that your best coach in a decade leaves? Washington had 6 straight losing seasons before Sarkisian arrived, topped by an 0-12 effort the year before he arrived. He's now been to 3 striaght bowl games. UW is on the way back up with Sarkisian. If he leaves for USC, there's a...

    If I had an infant that had been sick for a week, I'd be taking them to the doctor no matter if I thought there was anything they could do or not. Seemingly harmless things can turn bad in a hurry. Go get him looked at.

    CFB 2013-2014

    Here's the hit that put our QB out for the year with a separated shoulder. Ball was long gone, no flag on the play though. Definitely a borderline late hit. By the time he was thrown down, a coach on the sideline 15 yards downfield had already caught the ball. Definitely disappointing...

    I would never swap out a motherboard without doing a clean windows install. You're talking dozens, if not hundreds of new hardware drivers, you don't want all the old crap lingering around, potentially causing problems and conflicts with the new stuff. As far as whether to actually upgrade...

    While Missouri's season is now probably fucked, since we have to start a Freshman QB for the rest of the year, at least it's the guy that did this in High School: Yes, Maty Mauk accounted for over 7000 yards of offence and 92 touchdowns his senior year of high school. Should be interesting

    Just fine, 10 point win on the road in a conference game is solid. Expecially against a team that hadn't lost a conference game at home in almost 2 years.

    Georgia coming back with a vengeance. Mizzou offense went conservative and tried to sit on the lead and lost all momentum. Hate that shit. 28-26 Mizzou, most of the 4th quarter still left to go

    This is what Mizzou has been over the last 6-7 years, other than last year when we had more injuries than the previous 5 years combined. We basically try to emulate what the Saints did when they won the Super Bowl, high-powered offense and a defense that isn't good at shutting you down, but is...
