Playing my huge steam catalog :)

I have unlimited data from at&t... I use 6 gigs a month and I never notice the throttling.

It is not that bad.... it's a fun game! I played it for 12 hours straight yesterday. I don't remember the last time I played a game that much.

I just think its sad that the f8500 the last flagship plasma was so close to fixing all the issues with plasma and now they are giving up.

I think slight image retention is always a problem with plasma. BURN IN is what isn't really an issue anymore (at least after the break in period). I've had my plasma for a 3 months now and the IR is almost non existent. It was definitely worse during the break in period, but it is still there.

It died last night haha. Looks like I'll be exchanging it.

I'll see if I have time to take a picture tonight, but I'm pretty sure its some time of epoxy they used on a component nearby it. I noticed a bit on the pcb as well. It doesn't come off and seems like it bumps up a little.

So I was taking my stock cooler off my r9 290x to install a watercooler and noticed one of the vrms in the back has a brown spot on it. It looks almost like a burn mark. I have just had the card for 24 hours and it was running perfectly, even over clocked with the stock cooler just LOUD. The...

Yeah haha WTF
