    Grand Theft Auto IIIII - HDD City Stories

    The cops are absolutely insane in this game sometimes. I was pulling up to an off-road/ATV race start, and I hear sirens. I'm just about to start the race and all of a sudden a cop car come FLYING out of nowhere and just plows right into all of the ATVs and riders, killing a few right off the...

    CFB 2013-2014

    This is a terrible argument. So Georgia lost to Clemson. They're still an insanely talented team that was 1 score away for playing for the national title last year. West Virginia was an incredibly mediocre 7-6, and they lost pretty much all of their significant talent from an average at best...

    Engagement rings

    Heck of a deal, but most jewelry stores sell rings at about 50?60%of appraised value so at the very least you still got a $5000 ring for $1500. Nice!

    Was Foster there with Kiffin, or was that still the end of Fullmer's tenure?

    2013 NFL Season

    I've never understood why professional athletes don't hire a chauffeur, or at the very least take a cab. You aren't hurting for money. After living large at the clubs all night and wracking up thousands of dollars worth of bar tabs, spend $50 on a cab to take you home. Christ, how hard is that?

    A very small % of the population has a home that is completely paid off(especially under the age of 60 or so, which is pretty much everyone on this board). The vast majority of us have a mortgage payment or rent. So while I'll say "good for you", your scenario doesn't apply to the vast...

    Grand Theft Auto IIIII - HDD City Stories

    one word: online microtransactions If people will spend millions of dollars on fucking hats in Team Fortress 2, Rockstar could surely bilk a lot of idiots out of money on purely cosmetic(doesn't effect game balance) items. Or even stuff like letting you buy more garage space with real...

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    My wireless devices see my Chromecast like it is its own wi-fi network, when I look at available wifi networks to connect to, that is odd, I agree. That's pretty much the exact opposite of my experience though, Chromecast works fine with all my wifi devices(including laptop) but I cannot...

    Which is dumber, paying $500 for a new system just to play Titanfall, when that new system is going to have new release games as well for the next 5-8 years, or the LARGE number of people that bought PS3s for the first time just to play Last of Us, or GTA5, knowing that the PS3 system generation...

    Seriously, I drop a couple grand on my gaming PC every 2-3 years. an extra $100 for one console over the other every 8 years isn't a deal breaker. That being said, I still prefer the PS4 to the XB1, but the price isn't even near the top of the list of reasons why. I'll eventually own both...

    Buying a car?

    And there's nothing wrong with that at all. Not all of us enjoy wasting our money on ridiculously expensive repairs and bad gas mileage just so we can claim to own a BMW. A lot of people in this country waste a LOT of money on cars, I've just never seen the appeal of that. I see a car as a...

    Grand Theft Auto IIIII - HDD City Stories

    I've just been settling into a routine of doing a storyline mission, then wandering around for a while to see if I happen to stumble upon non-marked stuff, and once I find one or two things, then repeat the routine. Not really optimal, I'm sure I'm wasting a ton of time, but it's fun, so who...

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    Mine has been gathering dust for the last month. I won't be using it much until it gets Plex compatibility. 75% of what I watch on TV is stuff I download, so Chromecast isn't real useful yet, but I hope that changes soon.

    Grand Theft Auto IIIII - HDD City Stories

    I'm probably about the same % in DMK, and I've noticed that too. It seems like at any given time between the 3 characaters, I might have 1 or 2 storyline quests available, and 1 or 2 "?" quests on the map and that's about it. Of course, you do run into the little side quests that aren't on the...

    2013 NFL Season

    Chiefs are 3-0, and 4 of their next 5 games are at home. Next 6 games - Giants, Titans, Texas, Raiders, Browns, Bills. I could legitimately see them winning 4 or 5 of those 6 games. They could be sitting at 7-2, 8-1 or so after 9 games.

    Chiefs offense is all sorts of bad. We're going to need Philly to cough the ball up 2 or 3 more times to have a chance at winning this

    2013 NFL Season

    Hell, Vince Young won offensive rookie of the year. There's a lot of guys in the history of the NFL that come on like gangbusters until opposing coaches have a good amount of tape and an offseason to study how to stop them. I still think RG3 will be fine, but his career may end up looking...

    Buying a car?

    I don't think any of those options have a new MSRP of $15K like the Sonic does. I'm willing to bet that is the primary factor here. Sure, there are a LOT of cars out there that would be preferable to a Chevy Sonic, but how many of them are 15K or less brand new? Not many(if any)

    I'm not sure which is worse, Pittsburgh's receiving corps right now, or New England's. Big Ben and Brady both look like they could go on a murder spree at any moment on the sidelines after another dropped pass on 3rd down.

    Is there a cap on how much money you lose when you die? At small amounts it looks like it takes 5% of your money, but I haven't gone crazy and died yet(while not on a mission where I could restart) now that I have hundreds of thousands of dollars. Going to piss me off if its still 5%.

    And Johnny Manziel too. Manziel can go pro after this season(he redshirted a year). If I were faced with the almost certainty of being drafted by the Browns, or going back to school for another year, I think I take my chances with school.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Honestly, if you plan on getting both consoles eventually anyways, and you want one at launch, it doesn't matter which one you buy. There are basically no good launch exclusives, and this early in the console life cycle the games are going to look almost exactly the same on either system(for...

    Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch

    No, ideally the watch would act as a mini 2nd phone, using the same number and plan as your primary cell phone when it is turned on. Watch on = all calls texts and emails route to the watch as well as the phone. That way you could leave the phone at home or in your car or whatever. I just...

    The into mission where you are shooting out in the snowy countryside when the bank heist goes bad was RIDICULOUSLY hard, because the little white reticule looked exactly like the other 10,000 snowflakes falling on the screen. I need a goddamn crosshair, this little pinpoint dot isn't cutting it.
