    what are some of the worst games you've ever played?

    Tubografx 16 TV Sports Football. Holy god it was impossible. To complete a pass, your QBs arm pointed straight ahead, then rotated on a swivel left 90 degrees, and right 90 degrees, then when you hit the button to stop it, that is the angle the ball flew, and it had to connect EXACTLY with a...

    http://gigaom.com/mobile/how-t-mobil...less-industry/ T-Mobile wants to push in the direction of not subsidizing phone purchases anymore. Actually sounds like a good deal, buy your own phone(or bring an existing phone to them) and your plan is $20 per month less for 2 years, that's a savings...

    Yeah I've been playing Far Cry 3 this week, with absolutely everything maxed at 1920x1200 I'll see spikes up in the 1100s for MB usage when theres a lot of stuff going on, but it usually hovers around 900-1000MB used. If you have a 1GB card, you're probably hitting the max fairly often if the...

    Same thing as above, if you are gaming at 1080p(1920x1080) or below, the SLI setup would probably out-perform a 670 or above. If you are gaming at higher resolutions than that(or might in the future) going up to 2GB or 3GB of RAM on the newer cards is going to be a huge improvement over...

    Laptop Computers

    I don't see the logic behind spending 3 grand on a laptop to get the performance of a $1000 desktop. Not to mention gaming laptops aren't super portable anyways, they chew through battery life like mad and are usually pretty damn big/heavy. Hell for 3 grand, I rather have a gaming desktop...

    A&M always had top-20 classes, even when they sucked, so now that they actually have a good coach and a bright future under Sumlin they should have top 10, if not top 5 classes almost every year. This year A&Ms recruiting rankings are a bit overinflated though, because they have like 30...

    At no point in Tebows career did I ever watch a big game of his and think "man, he just single-handedly took over that game and won it" Great leader, great motivator that got the most out of his teammates, and a solid college QB, but pretty much at no point was he such a dominant athlete that...

    Yeah, I think you would get more bang for your buck selling your current 560Ti for whatever you can get for it, and then putting that money towards a 660Ti or 670(depending on your budget, the 670 is superior, especially at resolutions well over 1080p, the extra bandwith is big at high...

    How much storage space is common with most seedbox services? Are you going to be able to leave several HD movies(4-10GB apiece) seeding at all times, or do you have to be pretty pro-active at pulling stuff off of the server and clearing out space for new downloads?

    1099 vs W2

    The benefits(or lack of) and your age will basically determine which is best. My father is self-employed(1099), but is also 60 years old, and he has to spend $15,000 per year($1200 per month) for health insurance for him and my mother, and that is with a ridiculously high $5000 deductible...

    He might be eventually, but he isn't yet. I watched a lot of South Carolina games this year, and he isn't the disruptive force on every single play, run or pass, that Suh was. But we are comparing a senior Suh with a sophomore Clowney. They might be equally disruptive in the pass game, but...

    I have to assume that when they talk about that $140B figure to get to "everybody", they are actually talking about getting to everyone that currently has broadband available(either DSL or cable). While that does include a lot of small towns all over the country, that still excludes a lot of...

    I've been saying that for a while now, and it pains be to do so because I downright loathe Nebraska as a Mizzou fan, but Suh was the most dominant player I've seen in College Football in the last decade at least. Maybe the most dominant player since Barry Sanders.

    I think you mean a 660Ti (there is no 670TI), but I do agree that it's a damn fine card for the price. I've had one for a few months now and it's great. Have Far Cry 3 maxed on all settings (1900x1200 reso) and it's silky smooth. Also overlocks decently with stock cooling, I think I have the...

    Kelly was at each school long enough to where Butch Jones' 3 years at each school had Brian Kelley-recruited senior classes each of those 3 years. Jones was never at any of those schools long enough to have a full roster, or even a senior class, of his own recruits.

    Klein is probably the MVP in college football this year. K-State is a 6-6 team without him, and they got within 1 game of playing for the national title. On the flip side, A&M is probably also a 6-6 team without Manziel, but they weren't close to playing for the national title at any point...

    You could even scale down from the 650W power supply if you aren't getting a video card, unless you want to leave room for adding one down the road. I'd still plunk down $50-$75 or so for a decent dedicated video card. The Intel 4000 is about on par with about 5-6 generations ago for...
