Yeah, you'd get more bang for your buck with just putting that 3570k into a new motherboard and spending the savings on not buying a new processor on a better video card, or bigger SSD or something. An upgrade from a 3570k to a 4570k is going to be pretty underwhelming(5% performance...

Anyone tried the new crinkle-cut fries at Burger King yet?

So what is the verdict for Online right now(assuming you can connect), is it worth paying for a month of XBOX Live yet? I'm a bit hesitant to start the service back up, I don't want to play it for 20 minutes and realize that it sucks.

Is it possible that the world feels dead because 90% of the people that want to play can't connect to the servers reliably?

Paid beta(plus swag) is no different than wasting money on a collectors edition of a game. Some people love paying tons of extra money for tshirts, soundtracks, art books, figurines, and all that kind of stuff. I am not one of them. Ever since the day that they stopped putting cloth maps in...

Those early N64 WCW games from THQ were some of the most entertaining sports games ever made. So many drunken nights in college playing that shit in the dorm. On the first one, one of the hidden characters you have to unlock is a boxing dude named Joe Bruiser...he was hilarious, his strong...

True that it won't be on consoles, but most mid-range PCs should be able to handle 4K-level graphics within a couple years. Right now only the bleeding-edge of gaming hardware can handle it well, but that bleeding edge hardware will be quite affordable in a couple years. I actually am...

4K gaming is here, and it will be glorious NVIDIA does $5 million deal with Ubisoft

Thread fell to page 2...can't have that happen so let's open up this can of worms again: Why aren't PS4 and Xbox One titles hitting 1080p? What's happened to 4K? Why aren't PS4 and Xbox One titles hitting 1080p? What's happened to 4K? - Developer Tech interesting tidbit

I didn't get around to playing Half Life or Half Life 2 until like 2009(thanks to a decade of EQ/WoW). HL1 was pretty dated, but HL2 was still great, definitely play HL2 and it's expansions. One of the best games of the past decade for sure.

And what they don't tell you, is that by not responding to that letter, you have accepted your enrollment into a 1-year contract with TWC in order to receive that rate. You cancel in the next year and you're likely to get hit with some extra fees. I got that same letter, and TWC was going to...

I love my plasma but I'll be the first to admit that Plasma isn't always the best option in all situations. There are a lot of reasons someone would be better suited with an LED, or certain computer monitors(IPS/144hz, etc). Even the best Plasma you can buy isn't the best screen for all...

Time Warner Cable did that about 6 months ago(bumped everyone up to the next speed tier for free), and now just raised their rates on all the plans. I went from 25mbps to 50mbps, but now they just jacked me up an additional $10 a month. Fuckers.

Single player fix going live today In addition to fixing disappearing garaged cars: Fix for interface issues when using Internet on the cell phone after completing the game, or during a mission replay Fix for the Vanilla Unicorn occasionally becoming locked Fix for issues where the...

So what are some decent ways to make money in the online portion of the game? To you get reward money for winning races or does money come mainly from doing heists? I guess I'm curious if there are simple ways to grind for money, or if the big multi-person missions are the only real option.

Yeah, I had never really experienced just how bad the glare on Plasma glass is until last weekend. I have a Plasma but it's in my basement, so it's always dark and looks great. Last weekend my buddy has a big BBQ/cook-out for a football game, and we decide to bring his Plasma out on the deck...

Hulu Plus support has been added(no regular Hulu) Google Chromecast adds Hulu Plus app Come on Plex, hurry up!

One of my favorite old-school RPGs. Destiny of an Emperor for NES. Basically it took the world of Romance of the 3 Kingdoms and made it into a traditional RPG The thing that made it so unique, and SO hard is that what would be your hit points in a normal RPG is actually the number...

Yeah, that should be fixed once HDMI 2.0 becomes available and the norm. As of right now, HDMI 1.4 at 4K resolutions can only output up to 30hz. Sports would look pretty bad at that rate.

It's official, Deloss Dodds is gone(before next season starts) Twitter / TexasSports: DeLoss Dodds today announced ...

oh shit...here we go. I hear the rickshaw is nice this time of year

Heck, at least with wireless charging I'd be able to immediately narrow down where the hell I left my phone, since I'd always go out of my way to set it on one of the mats.

I also see the GTAO content as a "free" bonus. I'm paying $60 for the game just for the single-player portion, regardless of GTAO content or not. I did the same for every previous GTA and was perfectly happy with all of them. Hell, I honestly didn't even know it was going to have an online...

So to discuss the actual game... Is there any point to doing the side quest where you have to knock down all the real-estate signs of that realtor guys competitor? Took a while to do, and I got absolutely nothing at the end of it. Didn't get a call from the quest giver, and no "mission...

Yeah, at no point in time do I want to replace the half-dozen chargers in my home just for the convenience of being able to plug the cord in both ways. I really like that my phones and tablets all use the same cords. The next time I make significant changes to my charging setups around my...

Alternately, don't play a game 16 hours a day and beat it before 99.99% of the general population and then get pissed off when the next round of content is delayed a few days. Nobody cares. Almost everyone is still playing the single-player campaign and having a blast with it, just like all...

More Nvidia Titan vs AMD R9 290x benchmarks Radeon R9 290X Clock Speeds Surface, Benchmarked | techPowerUp Basically looks like some graphics engines still slightly favor the Titan, while some slightly favor the 290X, so it's a wash performance-wise. Price however, makes a HUGE...

Nice rig. Unfortunately, you'll be able to build a computer that outperforms it in 12-18 months for about 3 grand

I wonder when we'll ever see a large online MMO-style launch that actually goes off flawlessly? You'd think that at this point, there would be enough information and experience within the industry that things would go smoother, yet they never, ever do. Doesn't matter how large the company...

I don't see any problems with them taking their time to work out server issues. It least this isn't an MMO(or Diablo 3/Simcity) where there's nothing else to do if you can't connect to the server. The single player game has TONS of content, and I'd be willing to bet that 95% of people who...

Yeah, I'll never bother with a dual-boot on my machine. That's just too much hassle for a little extra performance. Anymore, I don't care about getting 100fps instead of 80fps in a game. But, once the Steam OS can 100% replace Windows with all the same functionality and program compatibility...

Might as well have named this the "let's reminisce about Baldurs Gate and Planescape thread". It's coming. It always does.

I fully expect GTA Online launch to go about as smoothly as any large-scale MMO launch...which is to say it will be a total clusterfuck of server outages and errors for at least the first week, if not longer. I'm not even going to try to get online for another week or two, but It'll take me...

That was my course of action. Screw around and act like a kid all through your 20s, then start to think about settling down in your 30s. Took me until I was 34 to get married, and found a woman with a great job/benefits and owned a home already. Win/win Although my only word of caution...

Good god man, you deserve a medal or something for sounding as sane and collected as you do after sharing a home with 6 women.

Honestly, there probably are some best practices to follow to get the maximum life out of your phone battery, but you're probably talking about it only being an issue if you plan on keeping your phone for 5 years or more, and 99% of people aren't going to have their cell phone that long. The...

So who gets Nick Saban this offseason, USC or Texas? lol

Same here, my feet are damn near square they are so wide, I've always worn New Balance. This last time around though I came to the realization that Sketchers make wides, you might check them out as well. They're pretty damn comfy.

For the record, my prediction from a week ago
