    Question *STABLE* NVMe - USB Adapter?

    I've been going through most of this thread. Perhaps I missed it but I'm wondering if anyone has used these enclosures connected to a hub that provides power? I'm currently looking for a nvme and also an enclosure and with all the posts about random disconnects affected by all 3 different...

    PSA: Plants vs Zombies 2 is now released for Android today!

    I've never played PvZ or PvZ2 on a smart phone. PvZ on a NDS and that was easy due to the fine pointing stylus pen. PvZ2 on a tablet and that is easy due to the larger display. On a smartphone with fingers, it really isn't an ideal situation. I agree, the way PvZ2 came out one at a time on...

    Stronghold (2001)

    Original Stronghold and Crusaders were very good games. Even my son is playing them nowadays. Multiplayer vs the CPU are fun. Looking forward to the new Crusaders this year.

    Where to buy a 100% genuine xbox 360 usb pc gaming receiver?

    Everyone that had the receiver go on them, did you leave it plugged in all the time or only plugged in when you went to play a game? I'm wondering if it makes a difference in the longevity of the receiver.

    PSA: Plants vs Zombies 2 is now released for Android today!

    I noticed the patch. Immediately I did not like the change in the map. I liked the original path better. Never paid attention to the change in value of 50 vs 25. Still a lot of fun for me, pretty much the only game that holds my interest long that I play on the tablet.

    Rocksmith 2014

    This whole Rocksmith game is new to me so let me see if I am understanding everything. If I buy Rocksmith 2014... 1. for the PC, to get the DLCs from the original RS, I need to buy and activate the orig. RS on Steam? 2. if I want the songs from the orig. RS game, I need to buy the orig. RS...

    Boston Market 50% off coupon for Family Meal - Memorial Day only

    They run the promotion for a reason. Holiday weekends during the summer are big days for family / friends outdoor BBQs and such. Hence the lack of traffic in dining establishments. First, I'm sure they are not as busy as a McDonalds or other fast food places, add in the holiday...yes...

    Boston Market 50% off coupon for Family Meal - Memorial Day only

    Where we live, there was a BM close by and we just go order out every once in a while, later it closed and we ate less because the other locations were further away. Food is ok, we miss the one closest to home. I think we'll make a trip out this Monday for the family meal. Thanks OP for the...

    denon 3312 for $549

    I was going to mention Onkyo. I own one that supposedly had/has hdmi issues, but mine is a refurb so maybe it was fixed prior to me owning it. I had owned a Denon pre-hdmi and while it was a low/mid end model, I loved that receiver, sold it when I upgraded to my current Onkyo.
