    Halp me choose a car

    Interestingly I guess. I've found a lot of deals that seem to jump out at me, but nothing that I really feel compelled to jump on right now. I think at this point, i'm trying to just take as much time as possible with this, because it seems like every other day, i'll change my mind about what I...

    Halp me choose a car

    Well, i'd love to go out and buy a brand new STi hatch, but that isn't really feasible for my checkbook. Besides, late 90's cars offer great bang for your buck as far as performance goes. I'm looking for more of a project car than a long term investment.

    Halp me choose a car

    So, maybe about 2 months ago or so, I upgraded my 1999 Honda CR-V to a 2001 CR-V, which by all means was pretty much the exact same car (right down to the colour), other than the fact that the new one is AWD and 5 speed. I figured the CR-V was a nice and practical little car that worked well for...

    Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

    My gaming comp: A64 3500+ (LOL), 1gig ram (LOL), 8800GTS ****, my Macbook might be able to run this game better, if not for the fact that it's got some shitty ass mobile graphics card. Other than that though, it's got an Intel core 2 duo and 4 gb of ram.

    Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

    I'm wondering the same. My gaming pc is really dated, so i'm pretty sure it'll run like crap, but I just can't justify getting this for console cause i'd rather not miss out on the plethora of mods that are sure to come.

    Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

    so what's the verdict so far? Oblivion with umg HD Grafiks? Or have they actually tried to fix any of the previous game's flaws?

    Thoughts on review scoring systems...

    I always thought the 1-10 system was pretty decent. For me though, the number isn't so much final decision maker in whether or not i'm going to buy a game, but rather a means of deciding whether or not i'll even read the review, which in turn decides whether or not i'll get a game.

    What Does a game truly need?

    It definitely DOESN'T need a lockpicking/hacking minigame, and an overly played up illusion of choice and freedom. I think that physics is definitely a big one for shooting games though. It kind of ruins the experience when you fill a counter top full of expensive and delicate lab equipment...

    Some bizarre shit brewing on the interwebs

    So I went ahead and asked my mom about it. At firs she denied it, but eventually she fessed up and said my dad had another family while he was living in Micronesia. The story goes that while he was doing dive tours in Micronesia, he met a chick and had twins with her. He then moved an island or...

    Some bizarre shit brewing on the interwebs

    Yeah, not so much an advice thread. I was just pretty shocked and had to alert somebody. She says she wants to meet up. Doesn't sound like she wants any money or anything. She said she was going to log off to go upload a photo of her mom (my sister) and my dad together, so the tip of the brick...

    Some bizarre shit brewing on the interwebs

    It was disturbing enough to think that my dad had a family in another country and dug out on them. It's even more disturbing to think that he might have done so with another species...

    You wouldn't be kinda shocked to hear about a long lost sibling?

    Some bizarre shit brewing on the interwebs

    In the past month or so, a micronesian chick sharing my last name (Viti) sent me a friend request. I thought nothing more than "oh lol, a foreigner who thinks its peculiar that we share the same surname", and added. She left a message on my wall that same day saying she'd like to get to know me...

    Creator of Unix and C dies, aged 70

    I think it's incredibly ironic how OS X is a Unix derivative. Sigh :(

    Steve Jobs dead at 56

    Now, i'm sure that Jobs deserves some props for being an extraordinary leader, no doubt, but this is taking it too far... Remember, this is a guy that was paid nearly 6,000 USD to redesign Breakout, went ahead and told Woz to do it for him, and then kept the money for himself. I think this...

    Steve Jobs dead at 56

    I went into work the day afterwards, and overheard some of my co-workers talking about this. It kinda went something like this: "Brah, the inventor of iPhone died yesterday!" "Fo reals? Shit, I wish I could invent something like dat!" "**** yeah, ****a was one genius brah. Invented iPhone...

    Post Your Computer Desk

    It's actually a lot messier atm. I need a workbench. I'm scared that one of these days i'm going to drop a wrench on my desk, and suddenly everything will be on the floor amongst a big heap of glass :(
