    It's strange that I barely remember her. She was the last jury member though on Kaoh Rong. Same season as Debbie, Tai, Aubry, and Caleb. And I just realized that Kaoh Rong was heavily represented in this season. Looking back, I remember her kind of getting screwed by the Scot/Kyle alliance. And...

    That game 2 was ugly. I had to remind myself that Random is Wings, and it makes me feel less bad for how badly OG got their shit stomped in.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    I read someone's opinion about it, and the fact that they went highly political recently and their bullshit costs added to cable really make it hard to feel bad for them. I know the network isn't necessarily the same as the people losing their jobs, but whatever.

    Ah, guess I missed that. Speaking of clutch duel plays though, that snowball save was so fast in one of those final fights.

    Holy shit that game 3. Liquid just had some sick team fights there. The sprout at top on Sven into a team wipe, and then those last two fights. Geez. The bottom high ground defense by Newbee was insane too. Edit: ^ Was that the fight at mid? I wasn't paying a ton of attention (I'm at work)...

    Haha, yeah. Miracle is just fucking crushing this game. Early game was ugly, but man are they shitting on Newbee now. Once Spectre finishes that heart, this game is probably over.

    I want to say Liquid played like absolute shit at DAC, but man, this series against Newbee is just abysmal.

    Yeah, that was pretty bad. The contrast between the two black women was interesting, however. Michaela once again got her "black girl attitude" on and threw a fit, completely missing the incredibly obvious advantage at her feet. I feel like Cirie is the only rootable black woman that's ever...

    Debbie once again proving to be her own worst enemy. It feels good to see her go when she's so confident, although that's kind of how it always goes. Not sure if it was the best move for Sarah, but man is it satisfying.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    I remember posting articles when it happened that there was a good chance he'd never even play football again. Lots of people called that hyperbolic, but I believe it came from the opinions of a few doctors.

    Ah, good call. It's on there, but says it downgrades to 2933. So it's not actually in error. Looks like all the 3000Mhz cards do.

    Got mine up and running today too. Can only get the RAM to 2933 (it's 3000), but I'm okay with that for now. Not sure what you did differently. I updated to the F6 BIOS (latest on Gigabyte's site) and XMP profile.

    Feel like the Caps weren't the better team tonight, but pulled off the win. They did play much more dominant in OT. What a rough series. Hope they play better vs the Pens.

    And this is why I'll never play games for a living. It sounds awesome in theory, but the numbers are crap. You're essentially self-employed, so now you're paying for all of those overhead costs your employer normally would. I'd probably have to pull in about $140-150k a year to just match my...

    I think it's because they use so many third party sellers. I was doing some reading and it sounds like a lot of the time they're probably not updating to Jet's system, so people will receive things and it will never reflect that it even shipped. I contacted their help desk last night and they...

    Ordered mine two and a half days ago, and it's still processing. Probably the first and last time I order from Jet. They've got a long way to go to become a legitimate competitor to Amazon.

    I think Andrea is playing too hard. She needs to tone it down a bit because she's making herself a target. And Sarah seems completely fucking oblivious to everything around her. I could see her making it to the end as a goat.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    That should be a good one. I like it more when it's a competitive team as opposed to dumpster fire. And the Bucs are certainly trending up. I think it's what made that Cardinals season show on Amazon so good.

    Yeah, I was waiting for the 580 prices and specs to come out today, and I wasn't impressed. Went ahead and bought a 1060 6GB instead. Same price, similar performance (maybe slightly lower), but a whole fuck load less juice to run it.

    I'm starting to get worried. All of the games have gone into OT now. The Caps just can't capitalize on their chances. Feels like another first round exit for the Caps.

    I've never been a person to buy a computer part on the first day, but due to timing, it's more likely today. Where should we start seeing the RX 580's pop up? So far I don't see any. I'm in a toss up between a 6gb 1060 and the RX 580. Basically my only hangup being the massive power consumption...

    I guess they felt they needed to get their SJW episode in. Which is weird when they had like 4 gay competitors this season. It's also strange to me that Varner was the only one who knew. I knew when Zeke's season was on. The whole production of that was just a little gross. It almost seems...

    Just curious, but what's wrong with the power supply? Also have Win10, a 500GB EVO SSD, and plenty of regular HDD space. I should also note that I'm not really into overclocking stuff. I'm just not that hardcore into gaming that I need to squeeze out an extra 5% performance.

    No shit. I was tossing around between trying Rust or 7 Days to Die again, and both have been in Alpha since like 3+ years ago. I'm actually trying to think of the last game I saw that was released as early access on Steam to actually ever get out of alpha.

    I actually don't think I was either. I'm probably thinking The Long Dark. Either way, it's EA and lots of the reviews are negative about how it needs more development.
