    Having 2 DVI-D dual link monitors sucks. Would rather put the cost of an adapter toward a ultra-wide than pay some of these prices.

    The Martian (2015)

    Having not read the book (and joining the legions about to pick it up on Audible) I kinda wish the trailer ended at the transmission 'can you see this' or whatever and then cut to the title card. Otherwise looks great.

    Best Credit Card with Cash Back Rewards

    Thanks for the links earlier in the thread and much of the ensuing discussion. Having wiped out all of our shitty debt it's time for my wife and I to play the credit game like adults instead of like the kids that accumulated much of it. Watching my accounts slowly catch up to their $0...

    Just recently started looking at 21:9 monitors. I want one but don't want to get some little 1080p 29", lol. Maybe after we move.

    Show is officially dead. "The cast and writers of Constantine are being released from their contracts," Cerone said in his message. "The studio tried to find a new home for the show, for which we're forever grateful, but those efforts didn't pan out. I'm sorry, I wasn't provided any...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    lol, it was another great episode, ended exactly how my wife and i hoped after they ran to the center, but yeah... aside from 'wow' we both were left with how she looked composited into the FX but mostly laughed at the final shot of her supporting cast as she flew away and my wife said 'she left...

    They lost me a ways in but all new and uncanny were great for a while there. Enjoyed this most recent all-new X-men also. Haven't cared much about Iron Man since Superior started, interested to see where he takes it.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    In like 7 years, when they merge Heroes of the Storm and Diablo into one product, and then split it into 9 full retail releases over a decade. Really though, no idea. Feel like seasons could be it for D3, has there been any indication otherwise? We're 15 months from the release of RoS at...

    lol, there's no Windows 10 drivers. Neat that it took like 2 minutes to roll back to Windows 8.1.

    Guy who inspected the GTX 980 I was returning took several minutes to come up front because he was just unloading their first shipment that included EVGA 980Ti SCs. Score.

    Comic Books

    Not as good as two, and is kinda dense like infinity was, but no 20+ issue context or a physics degree needed. I liked the issue as the story is inched along a bit, but if you're in no hurry I'd just grab it later because of the delays.

    Enjoying my 3 with the latest build of Windows 10. Hope the masses of popular android and iOS apps get ported with the new OS release. Until then I'm poking through Steam for games to play like Ascension. Need to give Steam remote play a shot too. Streamed OTA video signal from my Xbox one...

    I wish there were more digital versions of board/card games. I'm so hooked on the digital versions of Ascension. $9.99 on Steam, and free and then you have to buy all the expansions on iOS / Android. Just enjoying playing single player games on my phone and Surface. Would love it if I...

    Need for Speed

    Another game to demo on EA Access at the very least, hope it turns out to be worth more than that. Haven't had much fun w/ NFS since the first Most Wanted. The most recent game was fun until you got further in and every car had offensive/defensive abilities.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    We tend to clear all our normal rifts, feel like we find more goblin packs in later levels but that's really probably just a coincidince. Level sizes and densities are tuned better now too so it's not like you'll kill the RG and then have 4 more levels with a few rare exceptions.

    Nice, didn't notice they'd upgraded, we've got the same thing here in Vegas now. Can go from Premiere ($78) to Ultimate for $5 for the first 6 months it looks like. Just not sure I really need it, had been meaning to just trim it back to lower tiers since they keep doubling bandwidth over and...
