    How often do you check/are on ValveTime.net?

    Looks like it to me... it doesn't look like that in other browsers?

    Do graphics...actually...matter?

    Aww, they didn't throw a singularity grenade into a soup of slag, acid, debris, and flowing water? Good times. Anyway, what video card do you have? If you're using ATI, I believe you can set Physx to run off the CPU (if your CPU has the stones for it).

    How often do you check/are on ValveTime.net?

    Sometimes daily, usually a couple times a week.

    Inspirational quotes thread

    That's just it - it wasn't one of those atrocious images with text that run virulently through the share-o-sphere of Facebook, she just typed it as a status update. Whether or not that expression has been played out (has it?), it works for me.

    Bioshock Infinite Release date announced: March 26th 2013

    Wow, she's killing it. How do these cosplay stints even come about when the game isn't ready for release yet? PR stunts?

    Do graphics...actually...matter?

    I think of graphics like the frosting on a cake - it can make or break the cake. There can be very good cakes without frosting, but most of my favorite cakes have excellent frosting. It's taste like anything else. As I think about it, the Physx in Borderlands 2 is a wonderful frosting. I keep a...

    Bioshock Infinite Release date announced: March 26th 2013

    Voted for 6, because if I didn't already know something about the game, this might make me consider a purchase. You know I didn't play Half Life for many years after it came out because I somehow managed to miss all the media hype about it, and frankly those covers (Gordon's, Adrian's, and...

    For those who still have LGA775 systems

    I have almost the exact same specs as you, and it turns out that my motherboard supports that chip. I just don't feel like farting around with the computer until it's necessary though.

    Is everyone hammering the search? It's going offline for me.

    Awkward phases I've been through.

    Clothing not so much... long sleeve shirts with a t-shirt over them and shorts has been my favorite thing to wear for the last 25 years. Pants are always dark blue cloth from the thrift store (no jeans... can't stand 'em). Actually, I did peg/roll the bottoms of my pants for several years, as...

    need help choosing a road bike...

    I think that Craigslist post was deleted? Did you buy that? Anyway, if you're going to be on paved routes only, I'd definitely go with a road bike. That said (even though I'm preparing for a rainy-day road ride as I type this), I don't have a particular brand that I prefer*. Like Rorschach120...

    Humble THQ Bundle. Yes, really.

    Yeah, I haven't bought anything from that program. I took a look at the first few game packages they put out, and they were either games that I already own, weren't game types that I like, or were games that I didn't recognize and didn't get good reviews, so I stopped looking. It is one of the...

    I haven't been here in a long ass time, but I need some help

    Teacher (or TA) sounds like a douche? If I was the teacher, and received a file with no obvious extension in that context, I'd take exactly one stab at opening it with Word (which should work in these cases most of the time, and I shouldn't have to fight it), read/grade it as normal, and just...

    Humble THQ Bundle. Yes, really.

    Bonus content for beating the average price... clever.

    need help choosing a road bike...

    They can be quite heavy for sure. The lightest mountain bikes aren't as light as the lightest road bikes, but there is some overlap. There are very light mountain bikes, but the lighter they are, the more they tend to cost. A 'road' bike will tend to have a shorter wheelbase, narrow...

    need help choosing a road bike...

    Just go into your local bike shop... if you're not already sold on a brand or style, you'll want to sit on one and get a feel for it, and you can see the prices right there. At the very least, you'll get a feel for what you're after, and can shop elsewhere if those prices don't work. When you...
