    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Separate TVs with separate DVRs are a must. My wife's is always 95% full with BS reality shows, and I don't mind because that's a WHOLE lot of time for me to play video games while she watches that drivel, or to watch football.

    Goddamn I wish there was a confirmation before hitting F9 would reload a saved game. I use F5 and F9 so damn often, I've accidentally hit F9 a few times when I meant to save, and had to re-do some fights again. Blech.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    One last piece of advice in support of living together. You really, REALLY need to find out if she is going to be the type of woman who expects the two of you to spend every second at home in each others presence. I had a buddy who moved in with a girl and basically if he wasn't in the same...

    Grand Theft Auto IIIII - HDD City Stories

    Meh, If you want to give them $150, buy an extra copy or two of the game and give it to a friend who can't afford it, and now you have more people you know to play multiplayer with to boot. Win/Win

    Piecing together a speaker system

    That's a good one too. I still find it odd that all the best scenes for surround sound I can think of are all 10-20 year old movies, nothing recent. I often use the prison bathroom shootout scene in "The Rock" as well

    The Beer Thread

    I walked into my regular liquor store last week and asked when they were getting Pumking, said they already had it, and already sold out of it. Motherfuckers, I was just there probably a week to 10 days previous and they hadn't got it yet. Shit went fast apparently. I've still never had it...

    And came with a t-shirt...that companies used to just give out for free with pre-orders. I don't know how many hundreds of Final Fantasy 7 t-shirts we gave away back in the day. Used to get a box full of them almost daily for about a month leading up to the game. Got to the point we just gave...

    Please tell me that isn't what you get for the $150 collectors edition? I would hope to god a cheap hat and cheap tshirt aren't worth an extra $90 edit - oh, hopefully that is the "special" edition that is only an extra $20

    Piecing together a speaker system

    What is everyone's go-to piece of media for testing out a new speaker setup? I.e. your favorite movie scene or whatever that really shows off your system? I always tend to go back to the original Matrix and the lobby shootout, or oddly enough the movie Contact where at the beginning all the...

    Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch

    Which ones of those are standalone devices, and which ones need to be paired with a cell phone via bluetooth or whatever(like the Samsung?). I think having to be paired with a phone is a deal-killer for a $300 device. Something that costs that much should be completely autonomous.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    You may think that "spending all our time together" is basically the same as living together, but it is not. Not even close. If all else fails and you get into a disagreement, you can both retreat to your own homes, cool off, and then be fine. You don't have to deal with her fucking mess all...

    We did that with the Sega Dreamcast launch too. All the games besides first-party Sega games we could sell as soon as we got them. 3rd party companies didn't give a crap about having a street date, they just wanted you to start selling ASAP. We actually sold out of a lot of the Dreamcast...

    Yeah, as much as our little guy exhausts us by not even coming close to sleeping through the night, at least he does sleep for 3-4 hours at a time. He wakes up screaming, but as soon as you feed him he's right back to sleep at night. getting up 3 times a night for a half hour at a time isn't...

    Arguing about which console is more powerful is like arguing about whether a Civic or a Prius goes 0-60 faster. It's pretty fucking far down the list of reasons why people would buy the product. WAY down the list.

    Texas down 24-37 to Ole Miss, was driving early in the 4th quarter, and just fumbled the ball and lost it. Then Ole Miss gains about 50 yards on 2 rushes and they're about to go up by even more, they're in the Red Zone. edit - yep, 1 more rush for about 15 yards and TD. Ole Miss up 44-23...

    I have to root for Bama, because I want to see a Georgia/Alabama rematch in the SEC title game. That was easily the best post-season game last year. WAY better than the national title game.

    I would have to think that their interest in Muschamp is growing smaller week by week, I think Florida will do nothing but go downhill from their season last year while Muschamp is there. Muschamp is an ok coach, but he isn't nearly good enough to handle a program like Florida.

    Best card(imho) at various price points: $400 - Nvidia 770 $250 - Nvidia 760 $200 - AMD 7870 $100 - AMD 7790 I'd highly recommend the 760 if you can afford a $250 upgrade. That's a hell of a card for the price. I paid $300 for my 660Ti at this time last year, and the 760 is...

    I got raped by that Major Light Elemental when I first encountered it. Go clear the rest of the map and then come back to it, you should level up another time or two and get another skill tree point for each person, then it'll be a lot easier when you come back. What I did was invest a skill...

    Played this for a few hours tonight, playing on hard and man is it a challenge. Pretty much every encounter that has a boss in it is taking me at least a few tries. Usually get curbstomped on the first attempt. Love it.

    I guess it just depends on personal preference, but I'd rather have too many features and choose not to use, or disable, some of them, than not have any option of those features at all.

    I've never really even worried about it since I always have a fairly new phone, but if you try to purchase a new game with a pretty old Android phone, will the play store tell you that your hardware is too outdated and it won't run(or run well), or is there not any sort of check in place for...

    Smartphones

    Which I still don't understand, why are developers still releasing some games first(and some exclusively) on iOS, when Android has 80% of the phone market? It would be like Mac getting all the game releases first over Windows. Makes no sense to me at all.
