    Godzilla (2014)

    Worst movie I've seen in theaters in recent memory, for too many reasons to list. I found myself wanting to leave the theater shortly after Heisenberg died, and that really didn't change through all the retarded monotony of the military following the creatures around like bumbling fools. There...

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    Warriors grab Steve Kerr to be HC, I'm good with it. Pumped to see some actual offensive sets run with these players, and the triangle would supposedly fit really well with the personnel if he chooses to run it.

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    Paul clearly hit Westbrick on the arm, same way he hit Curry on the arm in game 3. Curry gets no call and it probably changes the outcome of that series. Westbrick gets the call. The out of bounds play is a non issue to me. Its strange how the refs called it, but it's ridiculous that Doc...

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    Mama there goes that man.... Word that Mark Jackson is getting canned at this very moment. Some of the players liked him a lot, but overall he's simply not a good coach or decision maker and I'm excited to see who they replace him with.

    Bottom line. If you're the team's star you can't turn the ball over 8 times in game 5. A lot of guys came to play tonight. Curry did not.

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    Raptors beating the Heat would be a bigger upset, the Nets not so only because of all the veteran talent on that team. The 06-07 Mavs had Dirk and a great record, but essentially zero all-stars other than him. The Heat are two-time defending champs with the best player in the league and a few...

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    Fixed. East is just horrible. Since the Pacers are getting ousted, the Heat will not face one team that would have made the playoffs in the West until they actually face the west in the finals.

    Home buying thread

    I was just today having lunch with a friend and he talked about a friend who had bought a 2 BR ~1400 sqft. condo in PA. Bought it for 700k a year or two ago. 700k- wow, that's pretty fucking pricey for a 2 BR condo right, and it's not even in a city?! They just sold it for 1.1M. My...

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    Disagree on Barnes. It's been frustrating watching him this season, but I think he has some clutch in him and that huge shot in game 1 was not a fluke. He hit some really big shots in last year's playoffs as well. The one guy to me though that really needs to step up to Iguodala. They...

    HBO shows on Amazon Prime - May 21st

    Yup, huge for Amazon. This is really gives them something to differentiate themselves from Netflix in order to steal some of those subscribers away. So much value in Prime right now.

    Civilization - Beyond Earth (Alpha Centauri Sequel)

    Probably Civ 1. In Civ 1 the units had no "hit points" which I believe were added in Civ 2, so in 1 it was an all or nothing roll of who won the fight. A normal tank's attack str was 10, where as a veteran Phalanx had 2 * (0.5 veteran bonus) * (3 city walls bonus) = 9 defense str. So for a...

    From Anandtech bench it looks like crossfire r9 270x's would be better than SLI 660's? The 270x isn't too far behind the 760gtx is most benchmarks and even surpasses it in some for only $208. I'm looking at buying a card, can anybody give a solid reason to pay an extra $50 for the 760GTX over...

    Civilization - Beyond Earth (Alpha Centauri Sequel)

    Civ 5 was great. It cured me of my 15+ year off and on addiction to Civ games. I actually had more fun and spent more time playing CivWorld on Facebook than I did playing Civ 5. And that's not an endorsement of CivWorld, it's just an illustration of how disappointing Civ 5 was. Regardless...

    True Detective

    I dunno, that "yellow king" is wearing orange. I watched through bits and pieces of episodes last night trying to convince myself that it can't be Marty. Instead of finding good reason why it can't be him, I only found more reasons why it might be him. In addition to the obvious questions...

    Is there any good reason to go with i7 vs. i5 for gaming? Will I notice the difference much? Maybe when gaming and multitasking? I'm looking at this combo package on Newegg, which pretty much seems to have everything I want in a decent game system (Haswell i5, SSD, 760 GTX, 8 GB ram) for...

    Why? Formerly the largest exchange, now 3rd largest, when total of number if btc is around 12 million? 750k btc seems plausible.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Watching this from afar, I'm wondering if there isn't some seriously exploitation and price manipulation going on by those in the know at Mtgox. If they know they can come back up, what's to stop them from buying up all the btc they can when the price drops low enough? Are there any rules or...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Can you elaborate? You're saying the bitcoins that are supposed to be "held" by mtgox are gone? I don't have any money there, but a friend is saying "hey, let's gamble on mtgox." and I'm telling him we'd probably just be throwing away money. Might as well go play roulette or something if he's...

    2013 NFL Season

    They sold out Monday in a few minutes. I tried at 10am when they became available to get just one or two and there was just nothing. I wasn't even upset I couldn't go, just figured I'd try for the hell of it. If the Niners win it'd have been awesome to be there, but it would suck having...

    2013 NFL Season

    And that's an ignorant statement by you. The Niners and Seahawks pretty much averaged the same number of PPG as the Saints and Packers this year. Yes, some of that is fueled by their defenses, but you also have to consider their conservative, grinding playcalling on offense. Conservative does...

    2013 NFL Season

    That's the thing about the Patriots this year. If they make it to the Super Bowl (which I wouldn't bet on), good luck relying on the run vs. the Seahawks or Niners. As a Niner fan, if we can somehow get past Seattle (which again I wouldn't bet on), I'd much rather face this year's Patriots...

    2013 NFL Season

    Why does it amaze you? These were two of the best defenses in football going head to head, it was clear the winner of this game was not going to have huge stats. The Niners won this game because they have the best front 7 in football.

    2013 NFL Season

    Any "Niner fan" that feels the need to rip Smith at this point is just sad to me. The guy struggled through the shittiest times the franchise has seen since the 70's, battling injuries, horrible coaches, and a lack of talent to play with. Somehow he lasted through all that long enough to come...

    The Hobbit

    How was Fellowship perfect? No Tom Fucking Bombadil. Yeah, coulda done without Smaug chasing the dwarves around for 10 minutes. It really took the some of his aura away and cheapened the encounter with Bilbo. I don't mind Legolas and Tauriel being added because at least you can see it...

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    Couple things. I hate the way Wade gets that extra free throw. And it's not just that one extra free throw, it's a lot of the free throws he gets. He's always been that player trying to run into defenders in order to get refs to bail him out and put him on the line. I'm not saying Kobe never...

    I knew Ohio State would lose since they gave up 20 points in the first half to the worst team in the Pac 10 by far in cal. They were a pretender all the way.
