    The Fast Food Thread

    That's it, we just need someone to open a retro Taco Bell that serves stuff that was on their menu a decade ago. All the Fritos burritos, chili cheese burritos, and cinnamon crispas you could ever want.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Maybe it's a regional thing now? I haven't seen it in years, and I probably hit up Taco Bell once a month or so.

    I just want Taco Bell to bring back the goddamned Frito Burrito. Best thing they ever sold.

    770s are well outside of the $250-$300 range. They are pretty much $400+. The 760 and 7970 are pretty much neck & neck on performance, I'd just go with whichever one of those you can find cheaper at the time. An AMD 7950 is about on par with a Nvidia 660Ti. There's actually a pretty good...

    I would also fully expect to be able to build this exact system for ~$800 in November of this year, as we get closer to Black Friday. I used Black Friday last year to build a PC for about $800 that was no less than $1100 when I priced it a month before in October, and for months afterwards as...

    If I were building a new computer today, I would use this as my baseline: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1tNb0 That's a PC that should be able to play games on max settings for the next 2 years at least. If you shopped around(and had access to a Microcenter for CPU+Mobo discount) thats a...

    Pregnancy Thread

    Yep, there are PLENTY of people out there that would love to adopt a baby from a healthy, "normal" background. I was in that situation when I was in college. 19 years old and I got my 19 year old girlfriend pregnant. We chose to end the pregnancy at Planned Parenthood, and it was definitely...

    Three-monitor Gaming

    Question Anyone here ever do 3-monitor gaming with monitors of different resolutions? I currently have 2 1920x1200 28" Monitors. If I buy a 3rd I don't want to waste my time with something old like those 2, I'd like to get one of the 1440p Korean monitors and probably put it in the...

    The SSD is the single largest upgrade I've ever made to my PC since the inception of 3D graphics accelerators. No joking at all. The startling difference an SSD makes is comparable to the first time I loaded up a game with my new 3DFX add-on graphics card. Night and day difference.

    Fox Sports 1

    ESPN has a history of getting extremely butthurt over sports that they don't get the rights to carry. Anyone remember when they basically didn't even talk about the NHL for several years when they didn't have a TV contract with them? Ridiculous.

    Path of Exile

    I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed the open Descent test league this weekend, that's a hell of a lot of fun just grinding through level after harder level with no way to go to town. Couple new monster models I haven't seen before either, like the things that looked like big skeletal bears.

    Haha, motherfucker. Finally get past merciless Vaal for the first time on Hardcore(thanks to double curses, enfeeble + temporal chains), and I immediately die to Perpetus in the next zone. Fucker was down along the south zone wall, where he's almost NEVER at, maybe 1-2% of the time at most...

    MLB 2013 season

    Stupid stat of the day The Royals are 7-1 in their last 8 games against Detroit when Verlander starts. I don't know what it is, but the Royals own Verlander. They're 1 inning away from taking both games of a doubleheader today against the Tigers.

    Family Car

    Do just that, play their online departments against each other. At most dealerships, whoever oversees the online sales/leads is usually authorized to be the most agressive on pricing, since there is SO much competition. Decide which car you want, then find 2 or 3 dealers in your area with that...

    Hard Knocks - Cincinnati Bengals

    Most teams in the NFL don't want any part of the 3-ring-circus distraction that is Hard Knocks during their training camp. Only the Bengals, who have a history of having one of the most poorly run front offices in the league, continue to agree to allowing the camera access. I guarantee you...

    If ESPN would get rid of Chris Berman, Linda Cohn and Stuart Scott, 90% of the shit that annoys me about them would be gone. They have some great people on the station right now (John Anderson, Scott Ven Pelt, and a few others), but man, Berman, Cohn, and Scott are all pretty much the human...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    If your Okra is slimey, you're cooking it too long. Boiled okra tends to end up that way a lot, I wouldn't recommend that, but fried Okra is one of the best fried vegetables out there. Probably a tossup between fried okra or fried zucchini for me as my favorite fried vegetable.

    I have no doubt that I'll eventually buy a PS4, there will be some nice exclusives at some point, but I don't see any reason to buy one in 2013 if you have a gaming PC.

    As a Royals fan, I WISH that I had that much good fortune that recently. I'm 36 years old. I was 16 and driving and in high school in 93 when the Pirates were still good. The last time the Royals were in the playoffs, I was in 2nd grade. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK And I don't know how...

    Buying a car?

    Correct. The only time an insurance company would report to your credit bureau is if you have an overdue bill that goes to collections. They don't report pay history like a credit card or loan does. They basically just pull your credit score and then tie it into your premium. Since its...

    Theres no "ninite" software install. It's just an executable batch installer that grabs all the programs you specify and installs them on your PC. Very minimalist, and awesome. It doesn't install anything that monitors for updates, or that tries to install adware/toolbars or any crap like...

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

    Exactly this. This is the absolute worst console launch game lineup that I can remember(and I'm old enough to remember them all back to NES). There is no reason to get one of the new consoles yet if you have a good gaming PC.

    It's all just dumb luck. Out of my ~10ish characters I've taken to level 60ish in Hardcore, almost all of them have either found a 5L chest as a drop, or I crafted one with less than 1 stack of fusings. I gave away 3 5L chests and a 5L staff this past week in softcore, and since then I've...

    Insurance agent here: If you have 1 car, and add a second, it will almost always raise your overall bill UNLESS the multi-car discount offsets the price of the 2nd vehicle. This is generally only the case if you first car is REALLY expensive to insure, and the 2nd car is really really cheap...
