    Battlefield 1 released!

    I've been playing BF1 since its release and still enjoy it, even after more than 20 days played - though my time spent in it per week has reduced significantly after hitting max level. I also bought Infinite Warfare upon its release, because it's what all my friends play, and have probably less...

    Windows 10 Still Available as Free Upgrade Using Assistive Tech Trick

    Ok, cool. I guess the best way to test it out is find a spare HDD and install a new copy from the ISO I downloaded and see if it works...before wiping my current HDD in a new build.

    Windows 10 Still Available as Free Upgrade Using Assistive Tech Trick

    I upgraded to Windows 10 during the free period from Windows 7 Professional. I'm downloading the Windows 10 ISO file right now from your link. If I ever need to wipe my SSD and install Windows 10 new - i.e. for a new PC - can I burn the ISO file to a DVD to install it, then use my Windows 7 Pro...

    Battlefield 1 released!

    I think it's a bug in the game...one of many. I like the game and have a lot of time into it, but some of the more annoying bugs haven't been fixed. Like when you're revived by a medic and you can't shoot your gun until you switch weapons.

    Battlefield 1 released!

    From what I've come to learn, you have to level up the specific class (i.e. Assault/Medic/Support/etc.) enough in order to buy the BAR M1918 Telescopic before you can use the one obtained in your battlepack. I started playing with the early enlister edition and have several hours into the game...

    Replaced CMOS battery, USB problems

    Hi, I'm wondering if any of you tech gurus could help me before I just go out and buy a new motherboard. After my Windows 7 system clock went on the fritz, I replaced the CMOS battery on my ASUS Z87 motherboard. My wired USB keyboard and mouse both work upon initially booting up the system and...

    Question about gin

    I feel the same way as the OP. I've never had gin straight or on the rocks, whereas I've had pretty much everything else in all different forms. Gin and tonic is my go-to. Typically Bombay Sapphire or Hendrick's. Try out a Hendrick's, tonic, with a bit of muddled cucumber. Discovered this...

    Are you that worried about paying off your house before retirement?

    We're looking to upgrade and get into a larger place so we've been on a house search for the last few months. We're both aged low 30s so a 30 year mortgage would be paid off right around the time we aim to retire (not really sure when that will happen yet). The search has been somewhat fun and...

    Living with my wife and baby in a 615 square foot condo? Life opinion/advice

    I think it's better to live in a comfortable financial situation and an uncomfortable living situation in the short term than the other way around, especially with a baby.

    regret spending so much time/money on video games/pc stuff when you were younger?

    I think that's what saved me from spending too much on gaming. I played Q3A all the way from demo to about 2010 - basically from late teens to late 20s. I couldn't get into and stay with any other games for significant amounts of time. I'd pick up and play UT2k4, FarCry (which forced me to...

    Powerball jackpot at $400 million - Oops! $1.5 billion - $40 mil

    Typically I would agree on your joke about California taxes, but surprisingly, California doesn't tax lottery winnings.
