I feel dumb about the whole badges thing, I'm stuck at level 5 and I can't seem to increase my level/experience. I bought a game and it gave me 2 cards, but since I hadn't bought a game between 1 and 12 months ago, I cant sell my cards either :( If anyone can see my stuff, my profile name is...

Having cash isn't the problem so much as I can easily justify an additional $100 vs 200-250... I haven't hit any major problems yet, I can readdress this once I get a 1440p or 4k display and start having real issues. Do games that support mantle have reduced microstutter problems? I thought I...

I have a fractal core 1000 case and ASRock z77 pro4-M that's running well with a HD 7850 2gb gpu. I am eyeballing a possible gpu upgrade (for higher resolution moderate gaming), more specifically wondering with new 7850 prices hitting ~$100 sales if crossfiring is a good idea. My concerns are...

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheng_(instrument) Thanks op, the sheng is going to join the balalaika as one of the random cultural instruments that's helpful to know at trivia nights!

Howdy, I've never had an iPhone before and had a 4 given to me by an upgrading relative. It is currently running firmware version 6.0. I haven't yet reset it, beyond going into the settings and deleting all content and resetting phone, is there anything else I need to do to it to wipe the...

It's going on a month and a half since the last post in this thread. I've never played any of the previous X games but was looking to give this a shot after quitting eve (again). Any changes in reviews, impressions, etc since launch? Any major patches or updates that improve the game?

I have a nook color who's only job the last 8 months has been to collect dust. I have a stand for it and will upgrade it to the latest stable cyanogenmod, but I'd like to use it as an alarm clock in my bedroom, constantly plugged in. Has anyone done this with a tablet satisfactorily? What's a...

Motorola SB6121, I don't believe it has router functionality built into it, but I'm not sure how to check for sure.

I have an asus rt-n16 running ddwrt which has been giving me some wifi trouble. I ordered a ubiquiti unifi LR to be an AP. I'd like to use the router as the dchp server. My building is old and has unusual outlet locations, and I've come up with a few options to setting up my new network. The...

That looks pretty good, a concern down the road would be no vesa mount to get one in portrait mode... Are you doing 3x landscape orientation? I'll probably order this guy later tonight if I don't come up with anything, I can always get a different monitor for my second one that will do portrait...

I'm feeling both dumb and lazy by asking for help on this, but it's becoming hard for me to figure out what's a good buy. I swung by microcenter to look at the Auria 27" 1440p monitor and determined it's 1) awesome 2) too large and 3) too expensive for my needs right now :( So my tech lust is...

Ooh, down-scaling/sampling looks interesting, now to waste another evening reading about computer stuff, thanks!

I'm thinking of getting one of those cheap 27" 1440p monitors that are popular these days, but I'm wondering if there's a way to see how my current system will do switching to a higher resolution. Is there a way to run my graphics card in a higher resolution but still connect to a 1080p tv...

I currently have Sprint SERO plan which runs $45/month and think I can save a lot of money by switching to a prepaid plan. I'm almost always at a wifi area and currently have google voice integrated with my plan (ie, only one phone number). Sprint also seems to have a hard time working correctly...

I traveled a bit the last couple of years, I've switched to only one large carryon bag. I have this: http://www.ebags.com/product/ebags/m...uctid=10150072 with http://www.ebags.com/product/ebags/p...21&rlid=DETAIL Stuff to use on the plane is stored in a way that I can blindly pull them out...
