Kharza, in Oklahoma you should have access to Boulevard beers out of Kansas City. Keep an eye out for their Single-Wide IPA, Double-Wide IPA(smokestack series, in a large 750ml bottle), 80-Acre Hoppy Wheat. My personal favorite of their is Tank 7, which isn't as hoppy as the ones I already...

Winsteads is solid, but their burgers are basically the same as Steak & Shake or Freddy's if you've ever been to one of those. Most people around here still frequent Winsteads because of nostalgia mostly, and it still looks like a '50s diner, complete with the little juke boxes at every table...

Good ol' America. All about immediate rewards rather than long-term repurcussion in everything we do, from the top levels of goverment and corporations down to Joe Blow on the street.

Question for anyone who regularly participates in the various races... Do drop rates for currency/items seem higher than the normal default/hardcore leagues? Only reason I ask is that I've been playing in the 1-week race, and while I'm only lvl 48(not even top 500), I've seen 5 unique items...

I did a good amount of researching the cheaper pay-as-you-go plans from the likes of Virgin, Wal-Mart, Boost, etc a while back before I renewed my Sprint contract again. The big decision comes down to how much data you use on your phone. Many of the plans start heavy throttling after 1GB of...

Nintendo as a company has been around for like 100 years. They aren't disappearing anytime soon. However, I could easily see them pulling a partial Sega and going software development only for consoles, with the only hardware they produce being handhelds. Honestly, their history comes from...

What about Pokemon couldn't be done on a touch screen? Handheld gaming by default is aready pretty simplified compared to a full console controller, there's no reason that most of the games couldn't be simplified even further to work on a touch screen. Hell, Nintendo themselves is already...

While the physical size isn't massively different, the viewable resolution/pixels is about 33% bigger(2560 horizontal pixels vs 1920). I'd have to assume the screen as a whole is packing a better pixel-per-inch density than a standard 1080p 23" or 24" monitor. I'm too lazy to do that math...

But you have to consider, will people be satisfied by those 20-40 decent games on an app store for a device they already own(no additional hardware purchase/expense) or will they be spending $$ on additional hardware to play mobile games? A lot of people have already decided to make due with...

From what little I can tell, it's roughly the same height as a 23/24" monitor, but about 30-40% wider or so. Kinda like having a 23" monitor and a half.

Correct, Chris has stated that IIR does absolutely nothing for currency, only actual armor/weapons. And unfortunately, neither stat has any effect on socket numbers or links. Everything related to sockets is still just totally random.

And in somewhat "Next Gen Console" related news, Wii-U is selling horribly(shocking, I know). Wii has outsold Wii-U since the Wii-U launch http://www.t3.com/news/wii-outsells-wii-u

For anyone wanting a super wide-screen gaming experience without having to actually deal with multiple monitors and the bezels that seperate them, this is kind of interesting, and a pretty reasonable price for a Dell monitor of that size http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/9386...080-ledmonitor...

Not to mention that AMD chips can outperform Intel chips in applications that actually use multi/additional cores, and with a dedicated video game system the games might actually do so, rather than on a PC where you can't optimize that specifically. I've owned PCs with AMD processors and Intel...

Whataburger taunts me. We don't have any of them in Missouri, yet we get commercials for them all the time when I'm watching college sports, since Missouri plays teams that are all in states in the South that DO have Whataburger. Every time I see one of their commercials I curse them. I...

But the same general concept can be applied to anything graphically. You eventually hit a point of diminishing returns to where you might increase texture resolution tenfold, but you aren't seeing a tenfold increase in noticable graphic quality, for instance. That's why SNES Starfox to Starfox...

Lenovo makes a damn fine computer. I bought my parents a Lenovo laptop, and my work has switched over completely from Dell to Lenovo desktops in the past couple years. Great machines in general, they make a damn solid product for a pretty reasonable price.

Well though, to be fair every single new console generation hasn't been as much of a leap forward as the one previous to it. The visible diffirence between a SNES and a Playstation was a hell of a lot wider than the gap between a PS2 and PS3. Basically because of stuff like this:

I dont think so, as far as I know shield charge(Rhoas, and those shielded guards in Act 3) cannot be evaded. You have to physically move out of the path to avoid it, and with latency/desync tha way it is, you better move very early. A last minute bail-out doesn't work a lot of the time...

I've always had it on an SSD, load times between zones are about 1 second, I usually can't even read the little message or whatever it's gone so fast. The only significant load time in the game is when it first boots, which is maybe 5 seconds tops.

Also don't forget that even if a console has the EXACT same hardware as a PC, a game on that console is probably going to perform 20-30% better at least even with the same hardware, just due to the insane amount of optimization that developers can do to a set piece of hardware that doesn't have...

That's odd, isn't GGG based in New Zealand? I ahve to assume at least some(if not all) of their servers are there as well. Strange that you'd have that poor of a connection to them, being that close.

It's crazy how fast people can level in this game. The 1-week group race started Saturday morning I think, and by late afternoon there were already people in the 70s and doing maps. I got on around 4pm central time, and a lot of the announcements for first people in a certain map were still...

While I'd obviously take anti-aliasing over not having it, it isn't near as much of an issue when you're sitting 10 feet from a 50+ inch TV as it is sitting 36 inches in front of a monitor at the same resolution. The natural shittiness of TV resolution compared to a monitor provides a little...

and battery life?

Well, the one thing the new consoles have going for them is that they don't have to push graphics past 1920x1080(1080p) resolution at all. I'm assuming that neither console will support 4K gaming resolutions. It's pretty easy anymore to play games at 1080p on max settings with nowhere near top...

Thank god its accuracy + light radius. Light radius alone would have been a colossal waste of a stat

So, it seems like quite a few things changed after the patch last night that weren't mentioned in the patch notes(or maybe I just missed them). Light radius is now a stat on items, I got a ring last night with +10% light radius, and a weapon with +5% light radius. Not quite sure if we needed...

It was most definitely the case on MLB The Show '12 last year, but I think they took the fuctionality out of the '13 version this year because it was a colossal flop http://www.destructoid.com/buy-mlb-1...0-223157.phtml I don't know if that is the case with every game, or if MLB was the...

Here is what you have to look forward to on Time Warner. Here is my 50mbps service that I pay $60 a month for looks pretty damn nice. Here is my average viewing experience on Youtube I average about 1-2mbps just about any time of day viewing Youtube. Fucking Time Warner and their...

Yikes, WiiU is the only "next gen" system on the market right now, and barely has 1 million units sold in it's first 5 months. Go ahead and dig its grave now. It needed a massive lead over Ps4 and 720 before they launched. At this rate they'll be in the #3 spot the week after those consoles...

I don't own a Vita, but it's my understanding that most games, in order to play it on both systems, requires buying the game for both? I know MLB The Show required the PS3 version AND the Vita version. Talking about investing over $100 in software to play 1 game on both systems. If Microsoft...

If GGG wanted the money trucks to start backing up to their front door, they'd start selling a $20 item that resurrects you in hardcore - 1 use. Make the price scale up $5 for every level over 70.

Also, if you have no idea of anyone reputable in your area, you can have the contractors that Lowe's or Home Depot deal with install it for you. You're probably going to pay more, but you're also going to be sure that they are insured in case anything goes wrong, and you'll have a solid...

Sweet, that's like having 1 do-over, lol

That's not a bad idea. I assume once the week-long race is over, your character just gets moved to Hardcore?(assuming you survived)

From my 1 and only use of The Pirate Bay, holy god, I can't believe how many people are on that site compared to IPT. I generally snag a show shortly after it posts like Spartacus or Game of Thrones and on IPT I can pull in a 20:1 ratio within 24 hours or so. The 1 show I snagged from TPB, I...

Yep, I have 9 and 5 year old nephews. When they come over, their #1 choice is my XBOX, 2nd is my computer, and if for some reason one of those things is busy/not usable, the leftover kid will grab my tablet and play Angry Birds or whatever. The 5 year old probably does the best with the...

I'd probably guess that the younger your are, the more likely you are to game exclusively on a console. Nowadays, and really for the past 10 years or so, the game selection on a console vs a PC has been 75% the same at least. When that is a case, most people are going to go with the cheaper of...

BAH, I need to take a break from hardcore for a while. After losing my last level 52 character I was rushing to level up another and ended up getting my next noob character killed at level 19, while still wearing all my low-level uniques and stuff that I use for quick leveling, so lost all of...
