    Anyone know how those Crucial SSD's (MX100) on Prime Day compare to the Samsung EVO's? Thinking of grabbing a 256GB one for my HTPC, but the Samsung's are regularly on sale for $89.99. So if they're significantly better it'd be worth the $10 to me. Amazon.com: Crucial MX100 512 GB SATA...

    Amazon Prime Day - July 15th

    I wouldn't be too upset about it. I've had Prime for 5 or 6 years now and I find it's absolutely worthwhile. Just because this sale sucks doesn't mean Prime does too. Also, that MyPillow isn't one of the good ones. It sounds like it's basically a standard pillow, something they had...

    Amazon Prime Day - July 15th

    I figured this was more to drive people to pick up Prime prior to the sale starting "so you don't miss out on the awesome deals!" or something.

    Amazon Prime Day - July 15th

    Pretty disappointing so far. Not sure what I was expecting, but this is really just standard deal of the day type stuff -- just with 100x more bullshit items to scroll through.

    Computer Issues

    I was able to get the drive scanned with that Linux tool (required start up without it plugged in, plug in to rescan all drives, and then unplug midway through to "unlock it"...and then plug it back in to actually read it), and it was completely bricked. Every single block was bad. That seems...

    Computer Issues

    I have a 3TB external hard drive which stopped working tonight. I'm thinking it may have been a virus, since I downloaded a TV show with it and that's when it seems to have stopped working. Plugging it in it spins and the light comes on. Unfortunately, I can't do much else with it. Basically...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    I have no idea how you don't use it on inventory space. I haven't bought any mythril or gems, and I have 225 space. I chopped up some screenshots of all my 5 and 4 star items. That's 89 items alone (not including the upgrade mats). Is some of that overkill? Probably. I'd say a lot of the...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    For the first month or so, lots of people were grinding out 2* gear from bosses to make 4*++. It's only in the last 6 weeks or so that there's been an assload of free 5* shit.

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    I have to agree a bit on John Oliver. There's been a few topics where it just comes off as Tumblr flavor of the month. I just try to ignore those since the majority of the topics are worthwhile. What spronk said about his tackling the stuff no one else talks about, is the only reason I watch...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    I feel like I got burned out on this one way faster than games like P&D or Brave Frontier. I just don't give much of a shit about logging in, and I'm not sure why.

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    Lifelong Washington Warriors fan here. Always had a soft spot for the Chargers though. I'm not sure why, but I think it's just because they seem like bastards without any real fans. I'm hoping they get moved up to LA to make it easier to see games (although I'm still waiting for a damn...

    Holy shit that tranny is fucking insane. What a sociopathic liar. The crazy part to me is when she's in the confessional thing, she doesn't seem to even acknowledge that she lies.

    I imagine we'll need at least 4-5 people on at the same time for any of these hardmode bosses. I'm not even sure how many for Plantera and the ones after it.

    Expert is probably way too hard to be doing anything but coin drop. Even ridiculously overgeared I get killed every few minutes.

    I decided to join you all. Haven't played in forever so I just brought in my old single player character with Chlorophyte armor, Excaliber, Drax, and some wings. Hopefully it's decent enough to get me caught up.

    Disneyland

    Yeah, if it's not a super busy time of the year (end of December, summer), you could knock out pretty much every single thing at Disneyland in 3 days. If it's busy, 4 days. By then though, you'd probably be sick of it anyway.

    Reddit is on fire

    Yeah, I remember Digg dying. I feel like a lot of these sites think they're invincible. It's kind of fun when it finally crumbles around them and they realize how badly they fucked up and destroyed something good.

    This is true, but things like attack animations pause the timer. So 15 seconds lasts a really long time. I don't think I've run into a boss yet that survives through the entire cycle.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I'm not a cigar smoker at all (basically have just had a handful while in Iraq) and I thought that was the only reason people smoked cigars; for the buzz. I'm not sure what Soygen has been doing with his cigars, but this was never a big mystery to me.

    Is Masterchef Australia better than Masterchef US? How do they compare? For the record, I enjoy the US version. Hell, I even like Masterchef Junior.

    The SUV shit was hilarious. Jeremy at the end with half a car vibrating fucking killed me. I also thought his "I hate working on Top Gear" was pretty funny. And I actually thought the first bit was decent. Overall though, every time they cut to the studio was sad. Worse was the good bye at...

    My son's friend hit's his mother...Mother kicks son out. Now friend over my house.

    Not to play devil's advocate or anything, but what are the odds his mom is the type of person who said some really fucked up shit to him, and no one (of the 3 boys) wants to call her out on it to authority figures? That doesn't justify getting a bat or hitting her, but there are certainly no...

    It's weird you brought up Porky's, because it's not really a good movie, but I remember it fondly. That, Meatballs, and Stripes. I think those were some of the first boobs I saw. The other day someone asked me what my top 5 movies were, and I basically went with ones that I could watch every...

    The amount of posts for a single episode of this show is insane. I was amazed at just how many pages there had been since last weekend (didn't get a chance to watch this until last night).

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    I think he means you can't compare a car that was done on the Top Gear track to anything new if they use a different one. Basically you're starting from scratch for comparisons.
