    The 9-5 Thread

    I've probably missed a thread for people that just work a regular job as it is titled something I wouldn't think it would be and placed somewhere I didn't think to look. I actually work 8-4:15 pm though and it's pretty sweet unless we are busy and are asked to work additional hours. Anyways, I...

    Pirate Games?

    Was curious if anyone has played any good Pirate games lately? The 1st Sid Meier's Pirates was a lot of fun growing up. I liked the trading aspects especially. So naturally I'm curious to know if anyone has tried any of the new Pirate games in recent years that have quality elements of trade...

    Drawing With Stylus

    My wife has always been pretty creative and recently bought her a Cricut. My daughter is 3.5 yrs old and showing some artistic abilities as well. What is the best thing to buy? An I-Pad and a certain type of Stylus? I don't know anything about this stuff. My wife's birthday is Monday and...

    Fears

    Everyone has them. I was never afraid of heights until recently. I could still get on any rollercoaster etc, but maybe it's because I'm climbing on roofs and I have a two a half year old and another one coming in July. My new job involves climbing on roofs and if the roof has a 9/12 pitch...

    Ancestry

    My dad and brother love it. They go to local graveyards and root around for names and shit and do all the ancestry.com stuff. I'm good on that for now. My wife is black and our daughter is mixed so maybe one day I'll get excited about it. I was a history major in college but I just don't...

    Anyone able to edit a music video?

    I have a music video but the videographer/editor left parts of my video where the music doesn't match up with what I'm saying. I like what she did with it overall, I'd just like it fixed. I've asked her to fix it several times but she never did. Guessing she may not have enough B-Roll, I...

    Hot Wings

    Just curious what places ya'll think have the best hot wings. After a recent trip to Bar Louie in Nashville (they have them all over apparently) I must recommend the wings in their En Fuego sauce. It kind of tastes like a red savina pepper sauce...if you can stand spicy food, give it a go...

    March Madness

    My alma mater, Campbell University advanced to the Big South Conference Championship today. Their PG, Chris Clemons, scored 51 yesterday and 33 today. They play the winner of Winthrop and Gardner Webb which has turned out to be an awesome game that just went into overtime. Can't believe there...

    WWE 2K17

    So I've been playing the career mode of this and got stuck in a rivalry with Bo Dallas (whoever that is). I've won like 15 matches against this guy and our rivalry is at a 91. I'd like to start a new rivalry with someone better so I can move up in the rankings but it seems like I only move up...

    Find Me A Better Deal?

    I figured this might be a thread others could use in the future, but I've got my own request as well. Getting my wife this rolling makeup kit with lights for Christmas because, well...she wants it. These damn things seem to be more expensive than what I would expect, given the size and all...

    State Jobs

    I'm getting out the military in about 14 months and I was just curious when would be a good time to apply for a State or Federal job (specifically in NC). I know it takes a while sometimes to hear anything back so I was hoping to be on the ball now rather than right before I get out. Also, I'm...

    Gangsters - Organized Crime

    This used to be one of my favorite games...was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to make it work with Windows 10. I bought a version from GoG not long ago and it didn't work. I got to the load screen and could get past a couple of screens from there but could never play. The colors and...

    Thinking about returning to console gaming..

    So I've been thinking about getting back to console gaming and getting a PS4. I've always been a PS player so I have my mind made up on sticking to my guns on that. But I'm a little reluctant to do this because I've always been much more into PC games. I had a PS3 and I probably only played...

    New To DVD/On-Demand

    I figured I'd make a thread so people can suggest movies that are new on DVD or On-Demand or just go on rants about something terrible they recently saw. If this thread is too similar to the recommend/suggest a movie thread then just delete it. There's a lot of obscure stuff in there that is...

    The Newsroom S2

    Kind of early for a thread about this, but I'm just curious how far you guys think the next season will go. 2012 was definitely full of material that can be newsworthy episodes. I'm really looking forward to this returning.

    Remakes: What would you like to see?

    Remakes, new versions, whatever. I really liked a game called Hill Street Blues when I was really young. The shit came on a floppy disk, but it was fun as hell. Would be cool to see someone make a similar kind of game in the future. I also really enjoyed Gangsters: Organized Crime. The...

    I listen to a lot of R&B and older soul music, so I figured I'd post a thread here. Edit: Can't leave out Marvin Sease!
