    My thoughts are that he becomes they "only looking out for himself" anti-hero because of the ending of this film.

    Riot Regrets “Unnecessarily Sexualized” Design of League of Legends Character

    Makes zero difference. They just keep calling you Deputy or Rookie/Rook the entire game. No reference to gender is made as far as I can tell and you never even see your character.

    Wired Hates Far Cry 5 - No One Cares

    Zero mention of how the game forces you to pick a female or male avatar at the beginning and then tells you that once you make a selection you cannot change it later... this game is so out of touch with reality.... you should be able to change gender anytime on the fly.... Ubisoft should just...

    Riot Regrets “Unnecessarily Sexualized” Design of League of Legends Character

    I was shocked that at the beginning of Far Cry 5 you have to select Male or Female. They even said "Are you sure, once you make a selection this cannot be changed later". Game makers are so out of touch, I should be able to change gender on the fly in these games

    Anyone Getting Their DOOM On?

    DOOM!!!! You have got to get this game if you like awesome, high action, fps games. The music and graphics are top notch (some of the best ever) and the 3 hours I've played so far have been incredible. Here are a couple screen shots from early in the game. So far it is everything I hoped it...

    Xbox Chief Apologizes For Sexy Dancers At GDC Party

    I once overheard a conversation where a woman was telling another women she wouldn't date a guy with a beard. It wasn't because she didn't like beards, nope, it was because she couldn't grow a beard and she didn't want to be associated with a man who openly grew a beard and flaunted it because...

    NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready Driver 364.47 WHQL

    I never had any driver issues with my previous AMD cards, switched to nvidia in September and the first few drivers were fine but the last 3-4 driver releases have had issues every time. What is going on with nvidia?

    GTX 970 unstable core frequency

    My overclock is 1375MHz on GPU. It typically boosts to 1515MHz, it will stay there like 98% of the time, from time to time it'll drop to 1485, or somewhere in the middle of those two. The boost speed changing is 100% normal, nothing to worry about.

    Photobomb Horse Owner Demands Share Of Selfie Prize

    Good gaming headphones around $150

    I have 250ohm DT 880 Pro's. I do find them a bit to bright and don't use them a whole lot. They are super comfortable and built incredibly well though.

    Good gaming headphones around $150

    Honestly for me using the same music and my favorite music headphones (HD 650) I can rarely, if ever, tell the difference in music quality when comparing played though my X-Fi Forte, Recon3D USB, Teac ai101da, Shciit Valhalla, Yamaha receiver, E10K, etc. Usually the biggest difference is...

    970 SLI for $380 or GTX 980 TI for $500

    Yes, I was aware of issues. I was moving from CF 6970's. I've had two cards for almost forever, going back to SLI Voodoo 2's. Right now I'm running my cards overclocked to 1515(boost)/7600 and I get pretty good performance I think, even on my 7 year old CPU.

    970 SLI for $380 or GTX 980 TI for $500

    2x 315 is 630 btw... The rest is taxes and shipping ... 13% where I live. 630 plus 13% is 711.90 950 plus 13% is 1073.50 1073.50 - 711.90 = 361.60. There were $20 mail in rebates and free shipping on the 970's. Total savings was probably like $400, not 470 after rebates and shipping.

    970 SLI for $380 or GTX 980 TI for $500

    I went with the 970 SLI for cost only. I was able to get new MSI 970's for $315 CAD each, it was $950 CAD for a 980 Ti at the time. Which resulted in me saving $470 CAD. If it was only $120 difference I would have got the 980 Ti for sure, it's what I was saving to buy. I havne't had any major...

    Moving away from gaming headphones to Audiophile? Did I say that right?

    It sounds to me like you want some bass. Have you tried other sources? Maybe your PC soundcard settings are messed up and the bass is lowered? As for the V-Moda M100, I haven't used those but the previous crossfades I do own and they are great. One of the most bass heavy headphones I own...

    Moving away from gaming headphones to Audiophile? Did I say that right?

    The X2's seem to be 30ohm, and the 598 are 50ohm so the 598 should be a little harder to drive but at these low impedance levels anything can drive them so it should be unnoticeable. The X2's should be a little louder from what I've seen but I've never used them for any extended period of time...

    Totally silent UPS?

    I have the same one.... dead silent when at idle. My system pulls 200-300W at idle and with my old 6970 CF setup I used to go beyond the 780W max with certain games. Drove me nuts sometimes. Then it could be heard. With my current system I draw 600-700W when maxed out for gaming and I can't...

    Good gaming headphones around $150

    My preferred setup when gaming at home for most games, where I don't require a mic, is to just use my speakers. I have Energy C-200 book shelf speakers connected to a Teac ai-100da and I love it. The Teac is a USB dac, which works great but I mostly use the optical input from my Auzentech...

    "Cheap" gaming headset for laptop under $50

    They are stereo headphones that use software to generate 7.1 sound. They also only work with USB connections. I got the impression that the OP was looking for a 3.5mm connection. Any stereo headset can be 5.1 or 7.1 just like these.

    Good gaming headphones around $150

    I have removed the foam pads from my HD 555, which is suppose to make them sound more the HD 595 (predecessor to 598) and I find the bass adequate. I have tried with bass boost enabled and find it to be more than enough bass. I usually only do that for single player games. I fund online games...

    Good gaming headphones around $150

    Excellent assessment. I have the DT 880 Pro's and I like them but find them a bit to bright. I think they are fun, they do a good job with music and I've found them to be okay with games too. I bought them as potential replacements for my HD 555 but decided I liked the HD 555 better for gaming...

    Moving away from gaming headphones to Audiophile? Did I say that right?

    I have 650's and I don't recommend them for gaming. Also note they are 600 ohms so you'll need a amp for sure. I haven't used the 600's much... tested them out a few years back and thought they were pretty good but not blown away. Got the 650's last year and love them for music.

    i might need new desktop speakers

    If you can stretch the budget further look at the Energy Take Classic 5.1 and a 5.1 receiver. I've seen the speakers go for as little as $250 USD in the past and a entry level receiver would be $100-200. You could even look for a good used one...

    Tiamat 7.1 yay or nay?

    I haven't used them but always felt 5.1 and 7.1 headsets that use multiple speakers were kind of gimmicky. I remember years ago a friend bought the psyko 5.1, they sounded good but I remember them being very heavy and didn't feel they sounded that much better, if any, than my HD 555's I was...

    Moving away from gaming headphones to Audiophile? Did I say that right?

    Exactly... I love the neutral sound of my sennheisers, I have several different models. I can't understand how people shell out for bass heavy sets like beats and monster. If I want more bass on my sennheisers, I use my EQ to help them out.

    "Cheap" gaming headset for laptop under $50

    GeForce 361.60 Hotfix

    I usually just update them but for the last release in December I used DDU and everything. still had a lot of crashes. I'm thinking maybe it was just the overclock now, which I've never had a problem with before.
