    The Beer Thread

    The bar closest to my home(total dive) has "Guinness Wednesdays" where they have $1 Guinness pint drafts. It's pretty awesome, I just wish the place wasn't a total craphole, or I'd be there every week.

    I could see it helping to resist scratches. There would basically be no way for the screen to touch a flat surface(ground, table, whatever) to get scratched. If you drop it(or even just lay it face-down), the only thing that could come in contact with the ground would be the back, or...

    And am I seeing that right, that all the R9 "x" model boards support up to 4 GPUS in Crossfire? Is that actually 4 separate cards, or does each card already have 2GPUs on it or something? Quad 290X cards would make me need a change of pants

    It's just weird that they are all PCIe 3.0, yet half list it as required, and half dont. You'd think they would all be one way or the other instead of a mix. Hrmm...

    ah, very nice, I hadn't ever heard that. I wonder why the lower cards still list the connectors as necessary then if they are all PCIe 3.0

    Well, you're not getting Saban and I'm not sure if any other coach is definitively better. Dude has rebuilt 2 different programs from crap to respectability (Houston and Baylor), and done it all right in Texas's backyard.

    Briles has been a miracle worker at Baylor. That program was on par with Duke or kansas football when he took that job over. He's gone to as many bowls in his 5 years coaching(3) as Baylor had gone to in the 21 years previous to him(3). His 38 wins through 5 1/2 seasons so far is greater...

    And most of them pre-WoW as well. 99% of online game launches are a complete clusterfuck for many days, if not weeks or even months. GTA:O is just par for the course so far. Unfortunately they aren't collecting a monthly subscription fee, they already have their money, so there isn't a huge...

    Most of you probably haven't had the pleasure yet of watching any of their games, but make an effort to watch Baylor play if you can. Holy hell are they fun to watch. Just a ridiculous offense. They make Oregon look slow and outdated. Winners and losers: Baylor is the new standard in...

    Lol, I had to go back and look, but my exact comment to the system that Sythro just ordered was "Solid build, should get 1.5-2yrs out of the video card before you feel like you might want to upgrade it, rest of the stuff will be good for 5+ years." Never expect to get more than 2 years out a...

    Not to mention that you can get a 10-12 foot USB extension cable for about $1 online if you need more distance with your controller. I used a wireless controller with my 360 for all of about a week, until I tried to use it one day and it wasn't charged. That was the end of that. Spent a...

    Romo is Brett Favre, without the benefit of ever having one of the best defenses in the league backing him up like Favre did with the 96 Packers. The 96 Packers had the #1 scoring defense in the league, only giving up 210 points on the season, that's only 13 points per game. People seem to...

    But why would you want to? At that point you're basically just running dual 7000-series cards. Might as well buy a 2nd 7000 series, which will soon take a nice price drop I'm sure once all these new cards hit the streets.

    Damn, if it's consistently faster than a 770 across the board, that's a hell of a deal. Hell, even if it's only equivalent to a 770, that's still a great deal for $100 less.

    That's still no better than a PS3 controller. You gotta get an actual 360 controller. The second you plug it in, it just works flawlessly. Games instantly convert over to XBOX controls, in-game tutorials reflect the correct buttons (letters and colors), and you don't have to do a thing to it...

    I played AC1 on xbox, and then AC2(+expansions/sequels) and AC3 on PC. I saw no difference in the basic controls, using a 360 controller for PC as well. The only control difference I could possibly imagine is if your PC isn't powerful enough to play the game at a smooth framerate, that could...

    It'll be at least a year after launch before either system has enough exclusive content to be worth a purchase IMHO. I'll probably snag one about this time next year. And no, I don't consider 1 or 2 good exclusive games worth a console purchase. I'm going to need to see 5+ to make a...

    What is the significance of an OIS camera? Seems like every phone anymore has a 8MP camera, is the N5 supposed to have one of the better ones? Reason I ask is I really liked the camera in my S4, I know megapixel ratings can be misleading, but its 13MP camera took significantly better...

    I think they plan for worst case scenario, I'm sure Sony probably tells them they'll get more systems, but can't tell them when, or how many. So all they know is there will be at least 1 shipment, but anything beyond that is totally up in the air.

    They are not true. The original quote stated 5 million systems by the end of FISCAL 2013, which is actually March 2014. That will still be difficult to do, but it's a little more reasonable. It basically doubles the time frame they have to sell those units compared to if it was just the end...

    I'd say the Chiefs win over a 3-1 Titans team was more impressive than the Cowboys win. The Titans are a good team, the Cowboys are not. The most impressive part of Todays win is the fact that they had a lead, lost it because of a few bad turnovers, letting Tennessee score 17 straight...
