    Want to feel poor? Stay in downtown Chicago

    In the first picture you're right around the corner from the only Lamborghini dealer in Chicago. The second picture is outside Gibson's steakhouse. Gotta figure why not get a $100 steak for lunch after your $2,000 oil change.

    Are you interested in E-sports?

    I watched the CSGO Katowice tournament a couple months ago and thought it was really entertaining. Have no problem calling it eSports. It's people playing games competitively for money. That pretty much describes all sports.

    Those PS4 commercials are fantastic

    That's pretty much the Wrigleyville experience. Graduate college and move into some shoddy apartment next to some form of public noise.

    I'm so ******, midlife crisis?

    I work an accounting job at a computer all day. When I switched to using a trackball instead of traditional mouse my wrist pain went away. Give that a try. As for you other problems, IDK where to start. Sounds like you need to get a job and start dedicating yourself to it asap to get over...

    In Chicago for work, only have time for 2 *great* meals... where to go?

    I like this suggestion. Hot Doug's as well, although I don't know whether you'll consider burgers and hot dogs as *great* meals. If getting deep dish I'd probably avoid Giordano's and hit Lou Malnati's instead. The newer one on Rush Street is pretty nice.

    You mean like black history month? I thought that black history month was only February, but apparently they get October now as well.

    How much do you think piracy is affecting the PC Gaming market?

    This is the obvious answer. Games have become so affordable now that it's not worth the effort to pirate. Same as with music. Now that Spotify exists and Amazon sells albums ~ $5 it isn't worth the time or risk. The bigger problem is a lack of quality titles with replay value. Ni No...

    Have you ever been fired?

    I was fired by my own dad during summer break from college. It was pretty great. I had excess federal loans at a really low interest rate. Had more free time and no real need for the extra $$$ at that age. Also, working for or with family sucks.

    Safety Not Guaranteed

    I really liked SNG. Watched it immediately after seeing Jack the Giant Slayer at IMAX. Pretty much every movie gets better if watched just after Jack.

    Been out of it for awhile - do netbooks still suck?

    I just put in an order for that M101z scratch/dent from the Dell Outlet for about $380 shipped. They had a few more on there when I checked out.

    Is there any harm in putting this in a desk drawer and using that as my "case"

    It's the size of the drawer I want to fit this in. Really want to keep using a full atx case and can't find anything else shallow enough (other than GMC Toast)
