lol true I don't know anyone in this day and age who plays video games as one of their primary hobbies who doesn't game on both PC and console. There are certain major genres of games that you just simply cannot get on one or the other. You cant get most of the major sports games on a...

I could absolutely see the tie in between XBOX 720 and Windows 8, just from the perspective of also selling more copies of Windows 8. Me and most of my friends game on PC and consoles, and this would get ALL of us to upgrade to Windows 8 once we bought a 720. Win 8 is floundering from an...

When we bought our home a few years ago, the bathrooms were still original to the late 60s/early 70s. Pastel green and pink EVERYWHERE. We still have 1 left to remodel, the biggest one, I'll be damn glad when all those hideous colors are gone.

If you haven't heard anything, she probably passed. Our doctor has the annoying habit of only calling if something is wrong, or another test is needed. We have to call ourselves to get any "all clear" test results. We had the results for the gestational diabetes test back in like 4-5 days...

Anyone have any tips on bow builds, specifically lightning arrow/rain of arrows? I've tried a RA build with a Marauder, and a LA build with a Ranger in hardcore and my main problem seems to be that between these 3 things: 1) HP/survivability 2) DPS 3) Mana to sustain attacking for a few...

I've heard both ways on Merlin. Some people love it, some say it is cheesy and campy

People who bitch about buggy games and bad launches today, have no idea what PC gaming was like 15-20+ years ago. Try buying a game that flat-out wouldn't run with certain hardware(that you happened to have) and having to wait months for them to mail you a patch on a disk to be able to play it...

I really can't think of any fantasy/high fantasy TV shows besides Game of Thrones. Everything that could remotely be considered some sort of fantasy are going to be more in the Sci-Fi realm (Firefly, Terminator:SCC, Battlestar, Etc) or more horror/monster based like Buffy, Vampire Diaries, True...

Rome was also cancelled too soon. You can tell that the show was informed it was being cancelled about halfway through Season 2, it becomes very rushed and the time moves very quickly in the last half of the second season to tie everything up quickly. Rome Season 1 is amazing, season 2 is...

For pretty much my whole adult life, I either had to deal with using an electric razor, and looking like I needed to shave again by about 10am, or using a gilette or whatever and getting bad razor burn/bumps all over my neck, looked like a teenager with acne on my neck pretty much constantly...

Yeah, I actually had to torrent something off of The Pirate Bay last night. Felt like a dirty commoner...get your shit fixed IPT!

I've said this for a couple years now, but I see a day in the not-so-distant future where your mobile phone will basically power all of your electronic devices. It'll be used like an interchangeable processor, and obviously it'll be mobile storage of everything you do. Use it as a typical...

PC gaming is arguably stronger than ever. While pc hardware sales declined, PC software sales were up like 12 percent last year, while console software sales declined significantly.

Let us know how the battery life is Wolfen, once you get the HTC One. I'm real close to ordering one, but I've had HTC phones before (Evo and Evo HD) and the battery life was really bad on those, but that was also several years ago. I have to assume they're a lot better now, but that's my only...

I definitely wouldn't doubt that. And Austin probably isn't nearly as spread out as the KC metro area. KC is one of the largest cities in the country as far as land mass goes. Kansas City itself is in 5 different counties across 2 states. Our airport is at the north end of the metro area...

My cousin used to hack the holy hell out of Everquest. I'm convinced he didn't actually enjoy the game back when we played, he just liked figuring out what he could hack/exploit in it. The best he ever pulled off was taking his level 1 Paladin into Sleepers Tomb(obviously not keyed) and...

Right, once you get the grass established, but you have to get rid of the weeds first, and you can't grow new grass from seed very well if you're weed & feeding, or just outright spraying for weeds. New seedling grass will not be able to overtake established weeds, but once that grass is...

Like others, I cheat in single player games once I get bored with them, or to bypass an annoying game mechanic that serves no practical purpose. For instance, after playing Skyrim for a couple days I would double my carry capacity and I'd repeatedly replenish my arrows using cheat codes. Cut...

our house was a foreclosure before we bought it, it had sat empty for a year or two before we got in there, and the yard was a total wreck. If your yard is really bad, like 50% weeds/crabgrass or more, I'd highly recommend just dealing with weeds the first year. If you try to grow grass in...

Yeah, it's ridiculous how easy overclocking is nowadays. No more difficult than changing graphics options in a game. Long gone are the days of having to use jumpers on the motherboard to overclock. That sucked.

I'm fairly certain that it was primarly just a feint by Google to try to scare the bigger telecom & cable companies into going forward with high bandwith fiber connections. So far, no one is biting in Kansas City, I've heard no plans of any other companies(we have Time Warner, Comcast, and...

HC is a little rough starting out, expect it to be slow going with no stash gear to twink out your character to start. I think I lost my first HC character around level 33, want to say it was in the Act 3 sewers when some lightning warp dudes raped me good. Each HC character after that has...

Just dont be that guy who mows his tiny ass yard with a riding lawnmower. We have a guy in our neighborhood whose yard is so small he almost has to just keep constantly turning his riding mower in circles to mow it. Can barely go in a straight line for very long. It's pretty funny to watch...

Yeah, Red robin is a normal chain restaurant, no different than Ruby Tuesdays, or Applebees, or Chilis, definitely not fast food, but they do have a decent burger the couple times I've been there. Side note, I had Burger Kings new Chipotle Chicken sandwhich the other day. Pretty damned good...

Yeah, the bastard chain bear trapped me before I could do it to him. My last 2 builds were real heavy on life, ES, and avoidance, but almost no armor, so his insane physical damage with bear traps and EK just blew me up. Trying out a bow-using Marauder this time around, and going with...

Oh, it most definitely will. Even when the 360 and PS3 launched they were using hardware that was already a couple years old compared to PCs. It takes so long to develop a new console that even if the dev process starts with state of the art hardware, by the time it launches several years down...

Exclusive titles that are important enough to actually sell systems will absolutely show up on the top sales charts. Look at Halo 4, and there's a couple of Mario games in the top 30. I'm just saying that at this point in gaming history, exclusive titles do not make or break a system. You...

Lol 8 minute race? That's nuts. So basically it would just come down to whoever got runspeed boots do drop off of Brutus in the first zone.

Snag a propane tank gauge online, or at Bed Bath & Beyond or a Hardware store. Nothing worse than running out in the middle of cooking something. Think I got mine for like $15 at BB&B a few years ago.

Blame console gaming. We've been in the current generation of consoles longer than any other generation up to this point. And since 95% of games are cross-platform, most game creaters don't really want to completelly re-design the graphics for a game just for PC. so at best we might get some...

I have no idea why this made me laugh so much, but it did.

Exclusives are honestly not very important to the the video game-playing public in North America and Europe Top 10 selling games in the US in 2012: 1) Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 2) Madden NFL '12 3) Halo 4 4) Assassin's Creed 3 5) Just Dance 4 6) NBA 2K13 7) Borderlands 2 8) Call of...

Haha goddamnit. Perpetus (City of Sarn) has now killed my last 2 hardcore toons. One at lvl 51 in cruel, the other at lvl 33 in normal. Fuck that thing...never fighting him again

Finally saw my first ever exalted orb drop just a few minutes ago. Have probably played over 300 levels of this game (have a lvl 71 and a few low 60s in softcore, and have taken a couple hardcore characters into the 50s). Damn rare drop. For comparisons sake, I've probably seen 10-15...

Well, you'll have to upgrade your video card within those 5-6 years, but the rest of the PC will probably be solid. If you're gaming, you don't need to upgrade processors very often at all.

So I'm assuming if this is the case, that buying vegetables at the store and making your own baby food is just as likely to have just as much lead as retail baby food? I know there's other, better reasons to make your own baby food (no preservatives, sugar, etc), but I don't know that making...

Question about 2-totem builds. Are you only restricted from casting offensive spells when the second totem is out, or is it set up so that once you take that skill you can never cast another offensive spell again, regardless of what totems are currently active?

That's 100% BS, unless for some reason there is a company out there making pre-built computers that somehow solder their coolers to the CPU/motherboard or something absolutely crazy like that(but I highly doubt it). Any retail i7, even going all the way back to the original 1st gen 920s have...

Google fiber is nowhere close to fully deployed in KC. The original signups for Google Fiber covered roughly 5% of the KC metro population, and they don't even have anywhere near half of those installed yet. So if I had to guess, somewhere between 1% and 3% of the KC Metro population has...
