Recently, two videos have been posted regarding Valve's next steps for VR. One is from Tyler McVicker. The other is from Thrillseeker. I haven't seen much discussion of this online except for a few news outlets that report on rumors and leaks, so I wanted to get people's opinions here...

Back when Half-life 2 was a new game, this was a pretty amazing PC. Now, it's been nearly 17 years. I'm hoping someone on these forums has one of these and is willing to part with it. Falcon has always been a boutique builder w/ high prices, but high quality. I've never been able to afford one...

What's the chipset on the motherboard? I looked up the model number you listed but it says it's an LGA 775 board. Depending on the chipset, I'm interested.

I'm looking for a GTX Titan Black for ~$180-200 shipped depending on the model. Let me know if you have something you are willing to sell. I'm looking for something close to reference design in terms of size of cooler since it needs to fit in my Valve Steam Machine. I'm looking to upgrade...

Weekly bump!

Bump! I'm happy to pay market price. I was thinking ~$150 for 780 Ti or ~$230 for Titan Black. Thanks!

I'm not sure what price I'd like to pay other than knowing that eBay has been a bit high for what these cards are really capable of these days. The card needs to be reference design since it'll be going in a Steam Machine.

1D10? That is so close to 1D10T, which would have been the perfect name for the slower variant. Sadly, reality doesn't match comic potential.

If all he cares about is time played, then why wouldn't companies just design games to get people to play as often as possible for as long as possible because, you know "good value." Except at some point it just becomes Farmville. It becomes work, and feels like stupid, infinite "arrow in the...

This is what I was going to post. It's either only capable of charging that fast in theory, or they're using some super-capacitor array that charges like normal over a 4-8hr period and then dumps it all to the car battery when plugged in.

And then you have Philly where we all get the "don't merge until you are forced to" mentality, but you also have a-holes who just drive in on the shoulder because their exit is in 5 miles. I hate Philly.

I don't really agree with this assessment of 2D to 3D conversion. The thing about filming in native 3D is that it's really impossible to do well. Our eyes evolved to do a few things simultaneously. First, they focus at a specific distance, whatever distance it is we're trying to focus on. They...

I'm not a "fan" of 3D, but have never particularly hated it either. The Martian was legitimately better in 3D than 2D. So was Guardians of the Galaxy. The Walk was really amazing in 3D. I've come to the point where, if there's a movie I really want to see in theaters and it happens to have...

Mike, you can get a used Chevy Volt, a car that has a sub 7 second 0-60, a 30 mile all electric range, and a hybrid mode that rivals any Prius or any other traditional hybrid for $15k or less. I got a 2013 model more than a year ago for $15k with only 8,000 miles on it. If I put a full charge...
