    Man, I just have no patience lately. I already have a bad temper that I've done better with, but I don't know if it's because my son is finally getting assessed this week or the steroid I'm on for some congested lungs that's got me so on edge and ready to just outright beat my children at the...

    I really didn't hate my 90+ minutes each way commute on the bus (~2+ hours if I missed one of the two I had to take) before I had a car and whatnot, I used to actually read books and stuff. More than a decade later I loathe the 35 minute (30 miles, almost all freeway... not even a lot of...

    Virtual Reality

    I like the idea of having the external passthrough box that enables also sending a feed to a TV, allowing people not using the helmet to view, if not interact also with the game. Some interesting possibilities there. Unrelated, Oculus Touch controllers delayed to 'second half 2016' -Blog -...

    Paying PMI up front is an interesting idea I hadn't considered. Our initial thought was we're going to pay ~5% down and then recast the loan once we sell the house (should get $40k+ from that sale). It's already been suggested by our mortgage peeps that they might not recommend that and that...

    heh, my son was under a video monitor until his sister was born and eventually moved into his room... so until he was about 3. With her pushing 2 years old and no more kids on the way that monitor probably won't be setup when we move in a couple months ... which is a little strange to think...

    NFL 2015-2016 Season Thread

    Franchise tag number for QBs last year was $18.5m. Whatever that figure will be will become next year will be the starting point in negotiations for Cousins and Osweiler. They won't make that per year because it'll be helped out by bonuses and stuff, but they're going to clean up, that's for sure.

    Really want Grey Goo but can wait until sub-$20. Ashes of the Singularity also, but can wait until that game is closer to done. All I've bought this sale I think is XCOM.

    yeah, I noticed my FPS isn't what I was expecting it to be on epic at 2560x1080 and a 980ti, but just never bothered to tinker after a snake at me and I quit. Was just tinkering to see if it'd be a good game for a LAN next month

    Yeah, in the brief time I did try it and used it (it worked fine the first time, for whatever reason) it was fantastic and didn't even really have any lag I was expecting (similar to streaming from Xbox to PC). Steam Link is everything I think I've ever wanted in one of these streaming...

    The audiobook is only 11 hours and fantastic, can get a free trial to Audible and snag it. Audio sample should be enough to hook most -The Martian Audiobook | Andy Weir | Audible.com Sounds like you'd like the verboseness of the science that adds so much to the charm of the book.

    2 games at home for KC and Denver sound great, but who knows what the weather will look like and how that will influence it. Division games too? Could go either way no matter how the teams are playing. Denver will probably win 2/3 and it'll be moot, but it will be fun to follow if they lose...
