    Buying a car?

    Did you buy the car brand new? If so, refinancing might be difficult. You now have a used car, and all things being equal, you'll never get a % for a used car that is as low as a % for a new car loan. Unless your credit has changed significantly in the last year, that factor alone might screw...

    Just saw a stat on College Gameday that over the last 3 years, Mack Brown has a lower win % for games played inside the state of Texas than games played outside the state of Texas. Yikes

    I would bet that most PC gamers also have a large TV in the same room as their PC. My family room(finished basement) has both my massive PC gaming area with multi-monitor setup, as well as a living room area with my bigass plasma, surround sound setup,game consoles, and couch/chairs. Most of...

    Once we all have Google Fiber(or equivalent), pure streaming game services will be viable Unfortunately, that's a LONG ways away unless a few other companies throw their hat into the fiber race in addition to Google. It's going to take Google probably 5 more years minimum just to build out...

    Technically, most high-end mobile devices are WAY more expensive than consoles though, it's just that most people don't pay that full price due to carrier contract subsidies. I see no problem with a $700 Galaxy S phone being more powerful than $300-$400 consoles, you are paying a premium for...

    Actually is every 18 months (Moore's Law), so let's do some math here PS3s GPU pushes about 200 G(iga)FLOPs. I think everyone can agree that the PS3 was state of the art at its time of release. It was a beast. Research facilities were buying them for processing clusters they were so...

    Phone + wireless streaming to your TV + bluetooth controller = console you can easily take anywhere, and always have all your games with you.

    The saddest part of the EA numbers is that PS2 is as close to Wii sales, as Wii is to the other 2 consoles(going by percentages), lol.

    Those EA numbers are interesting. PC actually outsold either console in Q2 2013, and outsold PS3 in Q1 2013 as well. Q3 the consoles came back with a vengeance, I have to think mostly because of Madden Football, which isn't available on PC

    If Phones make the same leap in technology during this next console generation as they did during the last generation, they'll be caught up to consoles pretty quick. Look at cell phones in 2005 compared to today. Holy shit, what a crazy difference.(and I know we've had this discussion either...

    Those numbers either mean that PC is growing rapidly, or console sales were shrinking greatly, or a little of both(probably the most likely). Shows PC pretty much on par with each console as of 2013, but pretty far behind back in 2012

    Awesome kids toys that you play with

    If you don't mind me asking, how much did your dad rake in after selling all of that? Because I had a similar collection and I doubt my mom made more than a hundred bucks off of all of it when she sold it at a garage sale in the mid 90s when I left for college.

    PC sales aren't always a small fraction, and they're also harder to track because no one knows how many copies are sold via Steam except Valve and the publisher. So yeah, if you are talking actual boxed, in-store copies, PC generally sells anywhere from 10-50% of what either console version...

    Path of Exile

    I did enjoy the bonus items in Anarchy. Necklaces with a base combo of 2 stats was damn nice in the early parts of the game, like str & dex, or dex & int. The Rogue Exiles were basically just a roaming pre-nerf large chest(like back when they used to actually drop tons of magic/rare items)...

    Yeah, while I wish my mom wouldn't have sold all my GI Joe and Star Wars playsets/vehicles, it isn't because they would have been worth anything because they all got abused all to hell when playing with them. Most of my GI Joe and Star Wars figures that my mom did keep still have sand in them...

    And Georgia is missing 8 players due to injury. So yeah, those SEC games are going to be real close I think, the home teams are battered & bruised. I have to say though, I like LSU's chances against anyone now that they actually have a QB who can make plays. That's the one thing they have...

    My mom still has all of my Star Wars figures in a big bucket in her attic, but she sold all of my ships/playsets long ago at a garage sale :/ Wish I had them for my son in a few years, but holding on to that much crap for 20 years is a little unrealistic. I also wish I had my GI Joe Aircraft...

    You're confusing "good game" with "big game". It might be a terrible game to watch for anyone other than Oklahoma fans, but it's a big game on a national level no matter what, it's one of the top 5 rivalries in college football. I hate Texas, and I hate Oklahoma, yet this is the 1 game a year...

    This Is The End

    This movie would have been 80% less funny if Danny McBride wasn't in it. Virtually every legitimately funny moment involved either him, or the brief amount of time Michael Cera was in it. I thought it was pretty good.

    so I was in Toys-R-US the other day buying a birthday present for a nephew, and as I walked down the aisle with all the Star Wars toys I found that it looks like they are re-releasing all of the original Star Wars vehicles from the early 80s (original movies) in the same retro-looking packaging...

    Fall beers are the best beers, and I'm not talking about pumpkin beers or ciders, but most peoples Oktoberfest beers are pretty good. I've never had one that I flat-out disliked. And that also works out perfectly to coincide with the best beer-drinking spectator sport, Football. Part of the...

    Easily? Each school will need to sell 80,000 tickets apiece to sell the place out. That's quite a challenge for what is basically an away game for both teams. Not saying it won't happen, but I think it's going to take a while, it won't sell out fast by any means. Tennessee might be able to...

    I can turn on my PC from being completely off and be playing a game quicker than I can turn on my 360 and be playing GTA5. It's actually not even close. Windows PCs are easier to use and more user friendly than ever before.

    The 360/PS3 era had the same overall feel to me as the Genesis/SNES 16 bit era. Genesis(360) came roaring out of the gates with a lot of awesome games and exclusives and built up a huge lead and following. The SNES(PS3) stumbled a bit initially and it really took it several years to put...

    I'd personally add Gran Turismo and the Uncharted games to that list of quality titles, but you're still at a 90%+ crap ratio. There's like 150 games on that list and I would be hard pressed to find 15 that I would ever want to play, even if they were free.

    What, you weren't impressed with "Boku no Natsuyasumi 3" or "Touch, Shot! Love Application"? Seriously, 90% of that list is total shit that nobody outside of rabid AnimeFags would want to play.

    I dont like the disposable K-cups that you fill yourself. For some reason it seems like I can never get enough grounds in them to make the coffee strong enough for my liking. I tend to like the bold/dark roast coffee(black, no sugar or cream), and pre-filled cups always seem to taste better to me.
