I've been using a Logitech G9 mouse for several years, and it's held up nice to some serious abuse(tons of click-happy games like D3 and Path of Exile). Comes with some weights so you can make it as light or as heavy as you want. It's solid. It's not super cheap, but its not ridiculously...

I think it was a slow progression of disposable razors. First the cheap little 1-blade bics came out, and people loved them. They weren't much more expensive than buying razor blades, and you could just throw the whole device away and use a new one every week or two, no hassle with changing...

By "nursing home insurance" do you mean long-term care insurance? The stuff is pretty expensive, and more expensive the older you are when you take it out. That being said, it's still not as expensive as actually having to pay for a nice nursing home if your loved one needs it. My 65 year old...

That's the mirror I have, based on the recommendation of someone here. Just realize that you have to pull the mirror off of its mount and fill it with hot water to get it to be "fogless" each time you shower. Not really a big deal at all, takes all of 30 seconds, I just didn't realize that...

It's definitely a concern, but I have to assume that their server security is at least better than Sonys. Microsoft never had an XBOX Live breach/outage anywhere on the scale of the one Sony had, and you better believe that people probably tried. Since Live was a subscription(pay) service...

I'm probably a rare case, but I've been playing PoE off and on for about a year now and I've never grouped once, or ever traded items with another player. Makes hardcore mode damn hard. I haven't got a character in Hardcore through Merciless yet, think my highest character died at level 64.

If your budget is really, really tight, skimp on the video card for now, it's the thing that will first need to be replaced regardless. You don't want to skimp too bad on your processor, that's a bitch to upgrade down the line, personally I never upgrade CPUs, if I need something better it's...

I've never run Linux of any kind. Is there any sort of performance hit when playing a windows-based game in Linux? Is it through some sort of a software emulator that adds an extra layer of complexity and hurts the games performance, or is it basically the same as running in a 100% windows...

Well all should have known that EA will nickel and dime everyone to death with Sim City DLC/expansions. It's a shame what they have turned Maxis into...

Yep, a good blade combined with a good shaving cream/oil routine will offer almost no resistance. My beard is really coarse, the only blade to ever offer that feeling for me are the feathers, most others tug to varying degrees. If you prep properly and use a blade that gets along well with...

I'd love to see Manziel crash and burn this season. Dude seems like a grade-A douchebag, he's the epitome of everything to dislike about a modern athlete. I honestly think his future NFL career will have more in common with Jamarcus Russell than RGIII unless he matures a LOT in the next year...

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/...nny_carey.html Can't wait, it'll have been about 8 years since "10,000 days" by the time this releases. edit- and of course I spelled his name wrong in the title. That one always gets me

Heylel is Jesse Pinkman

That is one nice thing about Lunaris lvl 3, there isn't a ton of backtracking, most everything is somewhat connected. It just annoys me that theres no direct waypoint into it, I don't want to fuck around on lvl 2 looking for lvl 3, and run into Kole unexpectedly. I've seen maps where his room...

I still prefer dock farming just mainly because the only resist you have to worry about is fire. Lunaris has more of a mixture of both fire and lightning, if you have any issues with capping both at the same time, or carrying different resist flasks. Docks is mind-numbingly boring, but easy...

Well, that's me. My wife is still on maternity leave, so she's taking the brunt of the nighttime feedings and screaming fits, while also still having to pump. I bet she hasn't slept more than 2 consecutive hours in the last 2 weeks. Not looking forward to teething, around what age does that...

Yeah, I already stated this in the Sim City thread, but I am 100% done with ever purchasing another EA game. After getting screwed on Sim City, the last few NCAA Football games(gamebreaking bugs/patches), and the immense disappointment of games like DA2 and SWTOR, I'm done. I'll be pirating...

Really liked the patch last night for my lightning arrow ranger. I'm in the middle of cruel difficulty on hardcore, and taking *roughly* the same route through the skill tree as before, my DPS dropped by about 10%, but my HP raised by about 25%. I'll happily take that trade. Theres a ton of...

This our baby has been home for a little over 2 weeks now, and I bet I haven't had more than 5 hours of sleep in any night, and no more than 3 of those consecutively.

I didn't realize that, so there are zero launch exclusives worth buying a system for. 2014 it is then, I see no reason to buy a new console this year.

I own consoles for the exclusives they offer that I cant get on a pc, and it looks like there is only 1 console exclusive game worth buying this year on next-gen(watch dogs), unfortunately. This is one of the weakest launch lineups in the history of console launches.

Whether it's different than the earlier ones or not, it still looks like a rather mediocre FPS with shiny graphics and too much lens flare. If you've played the majority of FPS games on a PC in the last few years, it doesn't look like anything special. The only launch game that looks like it's...

Because like most of us old-timers here, we were all knee-deep into Everquest when the Dreamcast launched. EQ had been out for about 6 months at that point. I did very little console gaming(or gaming of any kind) for many years because of EQ. Playing one game 60-80 hours a week doesn't leave...

I'm definitely not saying that N64 was a great launch, but it's comparable to this next gen launch in that there are only a couple "must buy" games, and I guarantee that Watch Dogs isn't the leap forward in gaming that Mario 64 was at the time. Dreamcast takes the launch crown by FAR. I...

Hell, N64 only launched with two games, Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64, and that was a better launch lineup than either one of these next gen systems this fall. Those games were absolutely mind-blowing at the time they released. 3D graphics had never been done so well and so smoothly up to that...

So, you're naming the child Innoruuk then? Congrats

Id maybe lean towards the ASRock, as it has 3 PCIE 3.0 slots, the gigabyte only has 2(and one additional 2.0 slot) At this point in time, theres really no practical performance difference between 3.0 and 2.0, but that might not be the case several years down the line when we get into video...

I shave my head, and it took a while to be able to do it with a DE razor. When I first started DE shaving, I tried shaving my head and just absolutely butchered it, I was bleeding all over the place. I tried again a few months after that, once I started using feather blades and I felt like I...

Start with the Astras, I've never known anyone to outright hate those. I like them, and they're a good, forgiving blade to start figuring out what you are doing. Maybe use 2 or 3 of the Astra blades over a couple weeks, then try out the others(besides the feathers), then come back to the Astra...

Yeah, stretching a processor and mobo for 5 years is going to really be pushing it, but you'll definitely have to upgrade video cards once, if not twice in that 5 year period to be able to play current games decently. My last build lasted me 4 years, with one video card upgrade during that...

And I hope the text-based interface is fairly robust in its options, and not just a quest system like old-school EQ where an NPC is just looking for 1 particular key word to set off a quest.

I just love that the "pricey" blades are still only like 20-25 cents apiece. I'm so goddamned happy to not be paying $35 for 8 gillete proglide cartridges anymore. $20 worth of feather blades are going to last me a full year.

Hah, the inventory interface looks exactly like UO

Word of advice, dont go up to 30" or bigger on a computer monitor if you are sticking with 1080p resolution. Looks kinda crappy sitting a foot or two away from it. If you're going to splurge and go up to 30+ inches, you really should go 1440p or better, but you're talking a big hike in price...

My dads getting older(approaching 70) but got remarried to a woman 20 years younger than himself. She can take care of him in his old age, since most/all of what would have been my inheritence will probably just be going to her instead. That's my plan.

Yes, you only get a Hit & Run if the torrent stops seeding before you get to a 1:1 ratio. I find that it's pretty hard to not get to a 1:1 within a week on anything unless it's some obscure piece of software or TV episode from like 6 years ago or something.

Beckett still exists, and they have a website too but you have to pay to get access to the website and it's ridiculously expensive. Like $31 for a one-month pass for all sports.

I collected baseball and football cards all through the mid to late 80s as a kid, and still have them all in a box somewhere...I got back into the hobby briefly as a teenager in the early 90s when I got my first job and had disposable income to waste on stuff like that. Seems like the early to...

Cell phone cameras may be approaching ridiculousness.. 41 Megapixel Nokia Lumia 1020 http://www.theverge.com/2013/7/11/45...tions-features Hell, my 13 MP S4 is almost too much, the damn pictures are 4-5MB apiece, they take up a lot of space and it's difficult to email more than 1 or 2...

Any of you have experience with newborns that have reflux issues? Every time we feed our baby, we hold him upright for a good 30-60 minutes after feedings(which really sucks in the middle of the night), but there's still a good 50% chance(if not more) that he's going to absolutely scream his...
