    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    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...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Rarely use it, but replaced my original wired 360 controller w/ an Xbox One controller for the reasons listed in the last couple of posts. It just works and games display the prompts for that controller. Will probably snag the wireless adapter when it releaseslater this year. Unrelated, the...

    Virtual Reality

    Got to try a Samsung VR at Best Buy. Couldn't get it focused quite right, hand to tilt my head down and then look up for it to work well. Was really kinda awesome otherwise, was in a room or something with Cirque performers doing their thing performing / being creepy as hell. Wife has a Note...

    Best Android tablets right now the Tab S from Samsung (currently $100 off at Amazon)? Edit: picked one up today for the wife. Screen has to be seen to be believed.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Won't happen, but would be a good mechanism to introduce Ms. Marvel and other nameless Kree-related heroes/villains. Kree device that's basically an artificial Inhuman cocoon sent in with specific objectives that instills them into whatever it can empower.

    Love Secret Wars #2. I'm all-in with the event now after Convergence declined to really try and keep me interested (if you don't already know all of the characters little point in reading any of it it seems because so little/no context is given, stories disjointed). Secret Wars #2 sets up a...

    Witcher 3

    Bought my card from Fry's, think I'm hosed as far as free game codes. Pinged EVGA directly to see of they're feeling charitable. Will be buying it otherwise.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Never had a SMK. One Unity in hundreds of hours of playtime. Probably 500 Kill/Sever/Monster Hunter, etc. The same 2-3 rings. Friends and I joke that we've gotten the requisite shitty legos every time when they drop.

    I ended up w/ a gaming 7 price matched down to the one I'd bought prior, will finish the build over the next day or so. Managed to bend some pins on my USB3 connector due to the placement and cable management in the H440, damnit. Have to pull the motherboard back out to fix and connect it or...

    They'd probably still have my monthly sub if I could do garrison stuff outside of the game client, lol.

    Witcher 3

    GTA V is 65gb installed on PC and comes on 7 DVDs. Reminds me of when games used to come on a bunch of floppies, or you'd span a zip file across a bunch of discs.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I really enjoyed the expansion, but with how LFR is slowly slowly spoon fed the content I got bored and quit because I didn't have the time for even a casual guild really. I'll be back this summer for a month or two to run through LFR, play with whatever they've added to garrisons and wrap up...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Could do a Netflix Phase 2? Daredevil season 2, Punisher, and Moon Knight and then a Marvel Knights movie? Cameos/appearances by Ghost Rider, Elektra, Blade, etc, with any done particularly well getting their own 10-13 episodes in phase 3? Moon Knight could be a lot of fun, his last series was...

    Fail. Bought a motherboard with mSATA, not M.2. This is what I get for getting fancy w/ my SSD. Was already kinda annoyed that Frys sold me an open box item for full price and didn't even get to see that before I got to the car (online order, shopping cart full of stuff), now I get to...

    That's a lot of things not going their way. Not just missing being first to market in a market they've basically created, but also the 2015 holiday and releasing shortly after another CES where we'll certainly see a multiple new headsets also using the Valve platform from other vendors.

    Secret Wars #1 was.... interesting. Better than Convergence #1 I suppose. Already wiping out familiar faces en mass, but guessing they'll just pop up in different parts of Battleworld or something. Already wondering how they 'put everything back' since world-destroying events usually leave...

    Shield is the only show that gets me to leave twitter because I'm on the west coast. So much chatter during the episodes, with the one liners and stuff.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Internal 500gb + the 2tb external storageI have 1.5tb free is listed (w/ the remainder of space missing due to partitioning, etc) I'll probably get something similar for the PS4 just to never have to uninstall anything for a long time if they ever decide support more than just external backups.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I have 54 games installed on my Xbox One and 28% of my 2.5tb storage used. Maybe a half dozen are demos, another dozen are download only games, maybe 1-2 are timed evaluations or betas I haven't deleted (Hardline, Sunset Overdrive). Several are from EA Access but I'd probably own a few of...

    I love my Marvel books, but they lost me with what seemed like 3 years of 'TIME IS RUNNING OUT!' I'll be a happy guy when incursions are never spoken of again. Just felt so dense, with so many characters introduced that I never cared about (black swans, builders, ex nhilo yellow guys, did I...

    I'll give the #1 a shot, but expectations are very low. Not a fan of the 'kid' books and I'll be surprised if this basically isn't another one. That's not the kind of roster that will be tackling things like incursions (as much as I hated that dense, drawn out story).

    I was going to dig in a little more into reviews of similar products when it came time to purchase. I'll probably get overkill for a PSU, that was just the recommended one from the site/build I'd started with. Partpicker has that build at 97-376W. I've got an ASUS motherboard in my machine...

    Motherboard preference? Or just z97 from brand of choice? Same w/ RAM? I've got a copy of Windows already, hadn't decided if I was going to move it to my new machine or not, will probably snag one from Reddit. It's technically already unused because I'm running the Windows 10 preview on it...

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    That crew won't get a movie, it'll get shuffled around some more with Civil War and then we'll get the big MCU-wide ensemble 2-parter with Infinity War.

    I've got the Iron Man ones around the house somewhere, but with Iron Man 3 branding on them from when that was released. Overall I really liked the movie. Need to go see it again because it's been a long couple of days and had to go to a later showing than I wanted. Galaxy's comfy...
