SBD: Hey, look what I found for you - 180 of 'em for only $30! SBD's fiance: Where'd you get those? Me: The internet! Her: Like, amazon.com? Me: Well, not exactly... Her: ... Me: I love you? Yeah, sorry man, if it was me trying to keep a rogue Milk Dud from making my ass explode, I would be all...

Sure, that'd be cool. $35? I'll just peel off the shrink wrap and PM you the Steam key - instant gratification :)

Got two copies for christmas, and after offering it to some friends and family, it's time to just sell it. I've been too busy playing Skyrim to post it here though. The family and friends I offered it to? Also busy playing Skyrim. Are you not busy playing Skyrim? Would you like to be? $45...

Motherfuckin' Chuck Yeager's Air Combat. Accept no substitutes. Just listen to that... damn that would be sweet in 5.1.

YGPM re: two WD hard drives.

This is an issue for lawyers to work out, not for you. The company has their own data and secrets to protect, and depending on your university (is it public?) they may also have implicit rights to any of your creative output while you are a student there. This is usually a problem with...

Kudos on the effort, at least they're doing something that takes a bit of creativity and vision to execute. That said, there's always a catch with MS products - the Clippy to your MS Word, if you will. No matter how hard they try, somehow a maddening feature meant only for the computer...

Meh, ever since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare came out, that franchise is just the free chips and salsa that are filler when you don't have something better in front of you to eat. I've got a top-shelf margarita of BF3 coming from the bar to give me a nice buzz and a sizzling plate of Diablo 3...

Been using these for 8 years. Love 'em. EDIT: Looks like you can get these in the US now - back in the dark ages, I had to get them shipped over from Meier Audio, now you have no reason not to get a pair! :)

Some quick froogle action shows $75 w/ free shipping from Newegg as the best deal to be had - how about $50 shipped anywhere to the lower 48?

Well, with continuum's pitch in mind, I have a new-in-box Seasonic 520w PSU that I need to sell :) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817151094 High quality PSU - I'd be shocked and amazed if this thing crapped out on you.

Is 'small' a footprint limitation, or a visual/decor limitation? Axiom does on-wall/in-wall speakers that are quick to install if you have any sort of power tool aptitude at all, and wouldn't sound like crap for a minimalist solution. A pair of on-wall/in-wall M3's and a matching center would...

You're right - I probably should've added a caveat that by "enabled" I meant "succeed in end-game". Virtually every build in D2 was viable to some extent and fun to play for some reason by the time they were done balancing that game. But yeah, having to min/max a game to keep up sucks - I...

Yeah, seriously. People gnash teeth about the skills system being dumbed down, but the argument is divorced from reality if you don't take into account the loot system. The truly wacky builds in D2 were enabled by very, very specific combinations of loot AND the skill tree structure. If there's...

Echo that. If you go with the college route, priority #1 is to talk to the academic counselors at both the community college AND a likely transfer destination (or two). They can save you a lot of grief - going it alone is not a wise choice when you're spending that kind of money and time...

I use DVD Fab to dump the Blu Ray to the HDD and strip the encryption, then Handbrake (batch mode ftw) for the encodes. Default High Profile settings yield a ~6gb encode on cinema aspect ratio 1080p movies, while full-field 1920x1080 encodes grow by an appropriate ratio for the added pixels. If...

The biggest thing that stifles creativity and passion (around here anyways) is fear of failure by our management. I work in R&D, and as far as I'm concerned, if at least 1/3 of what I do doesn't fail, then I'm not trying hard enough. If it works every time it isn't research, it's already known...

Dibs on the sub - PM incoming...

When I was a a teenager, I signed a contract with my parents to take 7 years of piano lessons, in exchange for a PS1 (I still had to pay for it too). Final Fantasy 7 had just hit the streets a week or two before, so they had leverage on me :(
