    You're thinking of IRCHighway #ebooks. Another is Undernet #bookz. Other highly recommended accessories: - Calibre for conversion to whatever format you need a book in. - "Ebook Converter Bundle" to strip DRM from whatever books you do end up buying. I use this religiously in tandem with...

    Indie Games

    It's like Journey had a love child with Hyper Light Drifter! My brain can't decide if this is a good thing or not. The legions of perfect trailers I've watched for sub-par games has made me indecisive.

    VPN advice and recommendations

    I live abroad in a country that filters it's internet... so I've gone through lots of VPN's. In terms of the basics of each VPN's business model and how secure they are, it might be worth it to check out the in-depth comparisons at ThatOnePrivacySite. Alternatively for something a bit easier to...

    The Realm -- Relaunched

    This game also got me into MMO's. It was the primer to EQ for me. Honestly it was the friends I made that hooked me. I remember the enchanting scene getting pretty fierce. You could enchant Wraths for extra stats. The kicker was that for every enchant (a "bang"), the chance of exploding the...

    In an idiot move, I logged in to my BTN account on a friends computer. They saved the login credentials, got my account flagged and banned. My most treasured tracker out the window. Think I'm gonna be sick. I'm kinda not sure where to go. Where do you guys go for TV? Not IPT, please.

    Spotify vs. Amazon Music vs. Google Music vs. Tidal

    I've been a member of all of them. Tidal was too expensive for what you got. Amazon's interface was awkward to use when I had it. Google was my choice because I use it for my entire ecosystem at work, but Spotify was as good if not better.

    Headphones & Audio Devices

    Agreed. That's one of the largest reasons I like my HD25's. I couldn't count how many times I hopped off the bus or whatnot and get the cable wrapped up on something. I've replaced the removable cable ($5) about four times in five years. Had it not been for that, they'd either be DOA or RMA'd.

    Tablets

    If you've got the hankering for something slightly larger, I got a Lenovo Tab2 A10 for a hundred fifty about six months ago. I bought it for reading comics, but it's treated me well so far. Not high powered by any means, but I've enjoyed it and it's served me well.

    You might check the invite thread, if I recall the OP says to message him again if you haven't heard back in a week. Though, waiting weeks for invites seems to be the new norm. Bleh.

    Lots of reasons. Some people are broke. Others prefer higher quality rips for archiving or audio gear. Some want MP3's for their mobile devices to save on data streaming. The list goes on...

    What.cd a thousand times over. They have an IRC interview process that lets you get in without knowing anyone. It's not too tough, you just need to know a little bit about music file formats and general tracker info. There used to be a website specifically dedicated to interview prep, but it's...

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    Just saw it last night. Easily the best comic book movie I've seen in a few years. The beginning of the movie could have been cut down a little bit... but that's a small gripe overall.

    I use NordVPN. A few hiccups here and there, but no complaints overall. Has it's own UI if your not keen on using OpenVPN. Also has VPN's that specialize in different things... double VPN, streaming, etc. Though I have no idea how effective these categories actually are... I was slinging BTN...

    Just a reminder to what I posted a few pages ago. Invites are open to What.cd *elite* class users. The hardest requirement to getting there is uploading 50 albums. But with EAC and access to a public library, it's viable... Good luck!
