    Smartphones

    I got a HTC One today... my fucking international S3 had a case of the "I feel like rebooting every 30 fucking minutes". I used my free carrier upgrade and got it. It's fucking amazing so far, it is literally the iphone of android. Feels great, sound is amazing, screen is gorgeus and the...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Positives: -Lower transaction fees (3% vs 0 dollars if you're willing to wait for a verification delay) -No charge backs, this is a surprisingly large amount of an online vendors cost because they eat the hit for fraud. Negatives: -Price volatility.. when the price per coin can vary 20$ a...

    Vikings

    Floki being pissed off I found kind of strange, especially when he's named after a trickster god. I honestly don't think the god Loki would blink an eye at somebody pretending to be Christian to get a couple thousand pounds of gold and silver.

    The big thread of game industry fuck ups

    I can admit the games plot was terrible and the voice acting.. and some of the level designs, but I thoroughly enjoyed the game start to finish. So much so that I pre-purchased Riptide. The combat was a lot of fun.

    Road Redemption (Road Rash)

    Indie developers are trying to make a modern version of Road Rash via kickstarter. I was a massive fan of the original game, and the intro video they have looks like pretty awesome. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...oad-redemption

    For those complaining about poisonous snakes in england:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vipera_berus They do exist, and enough bites from it would likely kill you.

    If you're Canadian nothing beatshttps://www.cavirtex.com/You can pay in person at four different Canadian banks (we only have 6) to load your account, you can wire transfers, bank deposits and online bill payments. It's pretty awesome and was entirely painless to cash out after I sold most of my...

    Coworker linked me this. Some guys invests his life savings and takes out 30k in credit card debt to invest it all in bitcoin. He bought in at 12-21$ mark. I wouldn't recommend anyone doing this but, I gotta give the guy credit for having the balls to go through with it...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Wow, I would have bought a second SC unit if I had known they were going to literally double the price. They're really capitalizing on the higher bitcoin valuation.. when the bubble finally bursts I expect a pretty big drop in their prices.

    I just cashed out the majority of my bitcoins at 140$+/coin, this is going to have to burst at some point. Theres no way we you have 40+ dollar spikes in price a day and have it last.

    North Korea goes full retard

    North Korea is now claiming it's in a state of war with the south. Fun times! http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia-p...031388862.html

    Bioshock Infinite

    I updated the driver to the beta, same deal. It's kind of wrecking the experience for me :/ some of the signs that have text are basically unreadable unless I move to specific angles and wait for them to pop in.

    Bioshock Infinite

    Anyone else having visual issues with 7900 series cards? I'm getting horrid texture popping and in certain places it just doesn't load the high quality textures at all and looks terrible. When it's working right it's absolutely gorgeous though. Running 13.1 drivers+7970 at 2560x1600 with...

    New day, new threat! North Korea cuts all contact militarily off with the south and warns of nuclear war. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia-p...430576757.html

    Consoles opening up a bit

    They really need to ditch the concept of charging for updates and certification. Until they do that, they'll have nothing on steam.

    Bioshock Infinite

    Hrmm mine is unpacking, and has been for the better part of 15mins. Is it safe to switch once it's at that stage? I really don't get why it's so slow. Edit: nm it worked, nm.. I guess I still need the VPN to play.

    FlyVPN only seems to have Korea and USA as options? Is there something I'm missing or will the Korean VPN allow me to unlock?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't think you can have a "hero" version of littlefinger. He gets ahead by being willing to setup and sell out anyone to his own benefit, and that's where most of his power is derived from. On the opposite end of little finger you have Varys who I think is as close as you're going to get to a...

    So North Korea has come out with a brand new set of threats! This time against military bases in Japan. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia-p...659341275.html

    Did anyone have XCOM unlock so they can download it now on steam? It doesn't show up on my licensed game list or available to download. I've restarted steam a couple times and it's still not available to download.

    SimCity

    Is it almost in a playable state now? Or is there still a good chance that your city/region will just get fucked?

    http://www.carloslabs.com/node/20 Search for Kaesong, North Korea (it's near the DMZ) Pick a W76 100 kiloton warhead, and start picking locations to nuke. They might see a bright light in Seoul if you nuked the DMZ, but you're probably not even blowing out windows on the other side of the...

    North Korea goes full retard

    Nuke the DMZ zone, I'm not saying carpet bomb north korea with nukes and destroy all of it's cities. I'm advocating using nuclear weapons to the current threat they pose to south korea via their artillery positions with the best weapons possible for destroying hardened targets.

    North Korea goes full retard

    China and the US crafted the latest sanctions that brought about the end of the armistice. China is done with them, but more than likely when they call no one in North Korea is picking up anymore.

    North Korea goes full retard

    The fact that they're willing to let millions starve to maintain their iron grip over a nation? They lock up families for the acts of a single member, for decades at a time.. not even immediate.. you, your cousins your relatives.. everyone gets locked up. There are children who never know what...

    North Korea goes full retard

    Maybe I'm alone in this, but I'm pro just nuking the shit out of the north korean DMZ line then just driving right into North Korea and ending this. They're far too dangerous with a nuclear arsenal and their concentration camps are just disgusting. The fact that the world has let this go on as...

    They've bumped the chips, tested them at 350mhz which they passed IO validation and they should finish packaging this week and then final assembly next week. Sure they've missed a bunch of deadlines, but they're actually in a position to start shipping shortly with a high degree of certainty...

    Honestly ignore Tea and keep it. They're saying they're going to deliver in May to late June if you order today. Even at a 25x increase in the network hash rate, you're still making 4-5$ a day at 45$ bitcoins. A 45$ bitcoin sounds ridiculous but the fact that you can use them to get around US...

    No one has actually delivered a commercial ASIC unit yet. A company named Avalon has shipped two demo units to purchasers and I believe there is another company with a finished product but they aren't shipping to end users and they make up about 10TH (1/4) of the current processing power of the...

    Archer

    I'm pretty sure that Archer got so drunk he ended up passing out naked on top of a pig, potentially fucking it from the trauma it seemed to cause everyone.

    What European country do you profile as?

    I think it's a combination of religion, low level of corruption and being open to immigration. Me and a coworker were almost identical other than immigration which he opposed, and he got Sweden.

    Denmark, the Canada of Europe.. so I'm not surprised.

    Archer

    I thought the first episode was kind of weak, but I really like the second episode. I'm hitting refresh over and over again on the Archer store hoping a t-shirt that says "Bros before apparent threats to national security" magically appears.
