Don't spend 3 grand on a 92" rear-projection DLP(they look like shit compared to LED/Plasma), and don't get a projector if your TV is on 6+ hours a day, it'll cost you a fortune in bulbs over the next few years. Get a 65" Plasma and call it good if you need something huge. You'll be buying a...

Arizona just pulled that win out of their ass. Incredible.

Yes, they do have a microSD card slot

My wife is 2 1/2 months pregnant. Am I a horrible person because the only reason that I am rooting for having a boy is because I want an excuse to buy expensive lego sets without seeming like a immature man-boy? Fuck I want some $200 lego sets, and I cant quite justify purchasing them to my...

Well that, and the framed picture of some anime chick. Screams serious creeper. Is going to impact your ability to (legally)bed a chick by like 75% at least once you get her back to your place.

Nice, I've got my 660Ti overlclocked at +70/+500 and its completely stable at that. I was running it at +70/+700 for a while but I kept getting a crash in Far Cry 3 every couple hours, so I backed the memory overclock back down to a reasonable speed. Honestly going from a +500mhz to a +700mhz...

The problem is, *in theory* if everyone is insured and hospital bills aren't going unpaid at alarming rates with paying customers(insured) making up the difference to cover for non-paying customers, medical care(especially emergency medical care) prices should go down, and as a result insurance...

Turn your lights on like you normally would, and sit down and look at your LCD while it's turned off. Can you actually see the reflection of any of the lights directly on the screen? Can you directly see the reflection of a lamp or anything? As long as the angles aren't set up to where your...

Yep, I check slickdeals multiple times a day. So much money spent...

So that Kayak...wouldn't it take on a ton of water along the "seams" that stretch from either tip to the middle? That looks like every time a wave or water came across the top of the kayak it would take in a good amount of it without the top of the kayak having waterproof seals.

And I don't know about places like Arizona or Florida where you can use a pool year round, but here in the midwest they add zero value to your home when you go to resell it. In fact, they often make your home harder to sell. Makes it hard to justify spending 30 grand on a pool that will do...

The ideal situation for a "soft" retirement in your 40s would be to still find a part-time job to at least provide your medical benefits. They do exist, but aren't probably overly common. My wife works for Bank of America, and they actually offer full benefits to any employee, regardless of if...

It's Time to Fix the Pitifully Slow, Expensive Internet Access in the U.S. http://www.wired.com/opinion/2012/12...Top+Stories%29

Jack Stack is great, and the Costcos around KC carry Jack Stack burnt ends as well, always load up and put some in the freezer every time I go.

Just make sure to check the specifications on how many HDMI inputs you are getting with each reciever, and make sure it's enough for all your devices(for now, and the next several years). Messing with an HDMI switch is a pain in the ass if you have to add more. That $200 refurb Denon has 4...

Big East to disband, possibly as soon as tomorrow http://collegespun.com/national/repo...o#.UMoUTzmeZaR

I've had the 50" version of that LG plasma for a year now, and i love it. Looks phenomenal.

I still have 1 IPT invite, first person to PM me their email address can have it

The one thing that actually helps laptops in gaming are their general low resolution screens. Most sub-$1000 17" gaming laptops laptops are only going to have a 1600x900 resolution, a decent dedicated graphics card is going to perform decently at that resolution for sure. Now, get a high-end...

Get a plasma if the TV is in a basement or somewhere with very little natural light or not a lot of windows. Plasma have glass screen covers and they glare like a sonofabitch if there's a lot of ambient light in the room, but I prefer the picture quality to LCD/LED. The picture on a $600 50"...

It seems like once microbreweries get into that "top 10 biggest microbrews" range, they start to get way too much attention from the mega beverage corporations and can't avoid getting bought up forever. I'm actually surprised that Sam Adams/Boston Brewing Co has remained independent all this...

If you can't save up enough to put down at least 5-10%, you probably shouldn't own a house. There are a LOT of expenses that go with home ownership. If you can't save up a small amount, keep renting. Otherwise when that furnace goes out in the middle of winter or your refrigerator dies...

Yeah, never buy sunglasses at a department store or even worse a Sunglass Hut. I basically use Sunglass Hut to go try some on, see what I like, and then go buy them online for $100 cheaper at least.

Thanks for the heads up on Kaenon, I hadn't heard of them before.

I find that as long as I put my tablet e-reader app(I usually use nook) into "night time mode" where the background is black/grey and the text is white, much like this forum, it's just as easy on the eyes as e-ink. For the love of god, don't read a book that is black text on a white background...

I'd start by looking at Denon products. I've owned surround sound receivers by Sony, Pioneer, Onkyo and Yamaha over the years, and I've never liked one as much as I like my current Denon. The ease of setup and calibrating is amazing, and the features for the price are great. I honestly...

Well, the Chrome OS does have apps, just nothing that compares to the number of apps available for Android.

Spawn the video game being bad made perfect sense though, since the movie was such a piece of shit too. Spawn is 1 of only 2 movies where I've ever walked out of a theater in the middle of it, the other being Anaconda. Just an abortion of cinema, and the game wasn't any better.

I hope no one here is an Oklahoma St fan, if you are, I apologize now http://www.columbiatribune.com/weblo...rdinator-jobs/ Our OC that just resigned(they let him resign, rather than firing him) just got hired as the OC at Oklahoma State. Oh man is he terrible. Took him about half the...

CHRIST. Please tell me they own a restaurant or coffee house or something, and aren't just using that at home? Fucking almost 3 grand for a coffee maker. I guarantee the coffee doesn't taste significantly better than a coffee maker that is 1/10th the cost.

Chromebook is basically a bulkier android tablet with a keyboard instead of a touchscreen. Decide if that is something that sounds appealing to you or not. (Yeah I know it doesn't actually run the android OS, but the comparison is valid regardless)

For those of you that appreciate decent eyewear, I can't recommend Maui Jim's enough. They are one of the few brands left in the world that aren't owned/made by Luxottica(which makes cheap plastic pieces of crap) Ray-Ban, Oakley, Revo and most other major brands are owned by Luxottica now, and...

Eh fuck it, fat guy in front of a shitty air conditioner, hell of a picture here but the only one I could find that didn't have a bunch of other random people in it too.

I can't tell if that PSU is ridiculously huge, or if the perspective is just skewed because of the small case. I guess the case is deeper than it looks in that pic though, from looking at how wide it is in the first pic. That bottom pic makes it look like the PSU is taking up over 1/4 of the...

You never want to use COBRA unless you have some pre-existing conditions that wouldn't be covered by starting up a new medical insurance policy. COBRA is basically the most expensive, worst-case scenario option for when you have no other options(like if you lose your job after being diagnosed...

Well, I put MOO3 in the same category with Falcon 4.0 and Ultima 9. Their main flaws were that they were basically unfinished/buggy at release. All had huge expectations, and all were a complete mess upon initial release. I heard that they all got better over the years and multiple...

Here's my new PC I just built past week. i5 3570K, ASrock Z77 Extreme 4 mobo, Corsair H100i Water Cooler, Seasonic 750W Gold PSU, 32GB 1833 RAM, Intel 180GB SSD, Geforce 660Ti, and some other random drives. Cables got a little jumbled at the bottom, had so many fans in the system I had to...

Agree with Brutul. If you are under the age of 30(and probably even 40) go with a high deductible. Sit down and decide how much you would be able to pay off over time without having to declare bankruptcy if something catastrophic happened. Is that $5000, is that $10,000? Most hospitals will...

I think I played every Sierra game made from the early 80s to about 1992 or so. Had an old Tandy computer from Radio Shack, and they were about the only games that I could ever get to consistently work on it. Always enjoyed some of the stranger games and 1-offs, like the Manhunter series, Gold...
