    Galaxy S4 - Watch Thread....

    Just got my s4 today. I did the 2 year renewal as I never use that m much data anyway seeing as how I cant use my phone at work (I work in a SCIF). So far the phone is awesome compared to my Motorola droid X2. My wife traded in her droid 2 for an iPhone 4. :rolleyes:

    The President Says We Need More Gamers

    This wasn't what I was expecting. I read the title and came here prepared to argue against the "flying drones is just like a video game" misconception that I thought was going to be the topic. Good to know was wrong.

    Daikatana now on GoG

    I remember being at my base BX looking at the shitty selection of games back in 2005 and saw a copy of this still on the shelf for like $20. Some dude picked it up and looked like he was going to buy it but I showed pity on the fool and told him to save his money. I started transitioning to...

    Sweaty hands

    I have several of these for various uses. It works for sweaty hands decently but I don't really hve that problem. http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Mobile-Fan-External-Cooling/dp/B00080G0BK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360578589&sr=8-1&keywords=thermaltake+usb+fan

    Did Curiosity Spot a Hunk of Metal on Mars?

    In this case a human did recognize Curiosity had detected something unusual, only it was after a human looked at NASA released pictures and started zooming in on them. Look at the original image and tell me where this "protuberance" is after a casual glance...

    Bing May Have Revealed Secret U.S. Drone Base

    You guys crack me up. I keep telling you all that Skynet is a real program used by the AF to record maintenance, ops checks, missions times, etc for RPA's. I use it every day. How that name was ever authorized is beyond me though. :p

    Steam 2012 Christmas sale is here! runs from Dec 20- Jan 6

    Thanks. I'll put them both on my desktop but may put Dishonered on my laptop just so I can play on my 70" via Big Picture Mode. :D

    Steam 2012 Christmas sale is here! runs from Dec 20- Jan 6

    Just picked up Borderlands 2 and Dishonored. Do either of these work in Eyefinity? I know Borderlands had crappy Eyefinity support. I'm need to know cause my laptop is nearly full and I will play them on my Eyefinity rig instead if they are supported. Thanks. BTW, if you are getting Sim City...

    Google Nexus 10 Tablet

    Pay the $5 or less for an OTG cable and another few bucks for the Nexus Media Importer App. My Nexus 7 16GB is always full but with the above it doesn't matter as I just connect a 32GB Thumb drive and I can watch stuff or listen to music directly from the stick.

    Asus G75

    It all depends where you ordered it from I suppose. My old Asus G1S and my current G73JH I'm using now both came with a backpack I never use and a mouse. I ordered mine from GentechPC but I'm not sure if they ship outside the US.

    My new FAVORITE mouse feet for RatPadz!

    I used to work on C-130 engines and props. The seal between the prop blade and the hub is a thick piece of teflon. I took a strip of it home with me and use a hole punch to make all the replacement feet I will ever need. I just use a tiny bit of blue sticky tac to hold it to my mouse feet. They...

    Assassins Creed 3: American Revolution

    It cleaned up about 5GB for me a few months ago when I first used it. Thats the problem with having ~700GB of Steam games installed.

    Assassins Creed 3: American Revolution

    Are you sure the underground locations don't refer to caves? I've found at least half a dozen or more caves in the frontier. Haven't had this problem using a 360 controller.

    Assassins Creed 3: American Revolution

    I did the 2x middle finger thing last night while trying to climb an elm tree to synchronize while in the frontier. I kept falling out and desynchronizing. I ended up just quiting. I was tired though so that's my excuse considering I had already done one tree just like it earlier. Thanks for...

    Assassins Creed 3: American Revolution

    Don't feel bad MavericK96. I am only half through Brotherhood and decided I was sick of Ezio and the Mediteranean as well. I ended up reading the plot details on wikipedia and watching the cutscenes on youtube. What is this annoying Indian Whistle that plays when you are in the wilderness...

    Assassins Creed 3: American Revolution

    The AC series and most console ports like this, Batman: AA & AC, Tomb Raider titles, GTA, etc are all easier with the wired 360 controller (The wireless ones work too but I have no experiance using them on PC). I did fail to get full synchronization on that mission because I only killed 8/10...

    Assassins Creed 3: American Revolution

    Half of those guys I jumped on the roof and killed. I don't know why you couldn't but based on my experiance and everyone elses, this part is not bugged. It has to be something on your end. Are you using a controller or kb/mouse to play? I am having zero issues with a 360 controller. I also...

    Assassins Creed 3: American Revolution

    The universe does not want me to play this game! Right after I posted this we had several rocket attacks here in Kandahar so of course they turn off the internet therby interupting my download again. I'm just getting internet but everything is slow as crap. Fucking Taliban! :mad: (BTW, I...

    Assassins Creed 3: American Revolution

    I would be playing right now if Steam hadn't cleared all trace of the 12 out of 15gb I preloaded. I put my laptop in hibernation while I went to work (I'm deployed right now) and when it woke up, Steam started preloading from the begining. Sigh. :( I'll let it run all night while I sleep I guess.

    Out of curiosity: How much space do your games take up?

    The entire 750GB hard drive on my laptop (it has 2 HD's). I had to delete a few games I never play (backed up first of course) in order to download Assassin's Creed 3. THe only non-steam game on there is Diablo 3. My desktop has an entire terabyte for games bt I'd say only around 800GB of it...

    Steam question...

    Keep in mind games like AC3 won't preload because of Ubisoft's UPlay service. Disregard. Steam is letting you pre-load the game if you bought it through them. Others with Steam keys via Amazon or Best Buy are SOL till the game is unlocked though.

    first day buys vs waiting for deals.

    Depends on Game. I hadn't paid full price on a new game since Diablo 3 until last night when I prepurchased Standard edition of Assassin's Creed 3. I was torn between getting it, Dishonored, Borderlands 2, or waiting 2 weeks for Far Cry 3. I decided to go ahead on AC3 cause I love the series...

    The Humble Bundle for Android 4

    I got these for my Nexus 7 and was able to download the .apk files for crayon physics and Eufloria just fine. The next day i used my link and can't download any of the .apk's for any of my games. I've tried different browers and even tried the torrents. I am logged in and have tied my games to...

    What's your choice of gaming goodness this weekend?

    Grand Theft Auto V - new screenshots

    Seeing as how GTA IV does eyefinity and plays better with it on PC, 5 better do the same. Games looks good though.

    Nexus 7 Shipping. Got yours?

    After calling every Gamestop in Las Vegas that had unclaimed pre-orders, I was finally able to get 2ea 16GB Nexus 7's. One is for me and will be very useful this week as I spend 2+ days traveling to Afghanistan on my deployment. The other is for my wife although she isn't sure she has a use for...

    Steam 2012 Summer Sale 7/12-22!

    I came here to ask if anyone else got that and what game it was. The only other time I've ever seen that was when I was deployed so I ended up just having requiem99 buy and gift my games to me and I paypal'd him. edit: I think it may have been a placeholder for the Indie pack because now it is...

    Texas College Hacks Government Drone

    Sometimes sarcasm is hard to read. How is killing someone with a "drone" murder? How is taking a legal shot following the ROE and LOAC with a "drone" any different than say an F-15 dropping a 500lb JDAM? I'll tell you the difference. RPA crews and the Intel folks reviewing their live feed have...

    Texas College Hacks Government Drone

    It looks like I am going to have to correct a ton of misconceptions some of you have about RPA's. As far as I know, I am the only one on these boards qualified to answer them as I am a MQ-1 Sensor Operator. First regarding the article. It's misleading. They didn't provide any details about...

    Voyager 1 Approaches Boundary of Interstellar Space

    Skynet already exists. It's the actual name of the program I use daily in the Air Force to record aircraft time, ops checks, etc on the MQ-1 Predator. I have no idea how the software developer got that approved for the name. :p

    Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity (Steam ver ) question?

    I have Sins and the expansions on Impulse/Gamestop but I would rather have them on Steam so I can finaly uninstall gamestop's launcher.

    Steam - Ubisoft Weekend Sale

    Verizon Axing Unlimited Data Plans

    Agreed. I've been a loyal customer for ten years but the only reason I've stayed lately is because I was "grandfathered" for unlimited data. If that is going to go away for me, then I see no reason to stay. They tried to screw me a few months ago by suggesting I pay over $300 for a cell...

    Diablo 3 Discussion Thread

    Still waiting on Amazon to deliver my copy. :( I wil never pre-order from them again. I could have gone to at least a dozen places around Las Vegas and gotten a copy for the same amount I paid Amazon to deliver it to me. I'm also thrilled to know that Bizzard has sent a big "Fuck You" to...
