    What Gaming Headset do you Use & Recommend

    Anything marketed as "gamer" is going to be overpriced compared to a non-gaming marketed item of similar quality. Your best bet is to go with some quality headphones from someone like Sennheiser or Shure and then buy something like modmic.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens reviews *SPOILERS*

    Grim Dawn - Now Content Complete!!

    I'm also a kickstarter who's waiting for the content to be complete. I've played a little just to see how it's doing and I'm looking forward to the full play through.

    I am actually 'scared' when the Reps (esp. Trump) will lose...

    Current welfare benefits cost the US tens of billions per year for a population of 325M. That isn't going to increase much even if all of the illegal population were suddenly legal and drawing on welfare. The fact of the matter is that Welfare is the last place we should be looking to reduce...

    'Fat shaming' cards handed to London Tube passengers

    According to statistics about 60% of the UK population is overweight or obese. I would want to target my funds at the largest population for greatest shaming effect or else I'd be wasting my money.

    **Official NFL 2015-16 Week 4 'Kaep'-in' Off Q1 Thread**

    The concept they're trying to promote seems extremely nit picky. Basically in order to grade a QB "great", every TD throw they make has to be them making the play? What about the times when the QB makes those quick, short passes because he knows Cobb is matched up on a LB and will easily...

    SCOTUS rules: gay marriage approved

    It's not about actually passing it to them in most cases. It's making their position well known and loud so that their constituents continue to vote for them.

    Steam Summer Sale 2015 Official Whatcha Gonna Buy Thread

    Picked up Ultimate Generals: Gettysburg. Only game so far. For just under $2, it's well worth it if you liked Sid Meier's Gettysburg.

    Game of Thrones - TV Series (NO BOOK SPOILERS)

    No doubt. She's going to try and get the army and destroy the Faith Militant. Don't think anyone would oppose since the Faith is now a threat to everyone if they're left unchecked. Jon Snow was unexpected. If he's truly dead, what main character is going to remain there to give us...

    Christians on Decline, Non-believers Skyrocketing in US

    Your terminolgy is very wrong. A christian is a theist and they believe in gods. If you are *a*theist then you are the opposite and believe there is no god. Agnostics are those that believe the evidence is not there to support being either theist or atheist. By those definitions, theists...

    How many hours a week do you play video games?

    I usually game for two hours 3 weekday nights out of the week. On weekends, usually another 6-8. So I put down 16-20 to account for the times I binge and do 10-12 hours on a weekend, which is usually once every 4-6 weeks.

    [Official] Mayweather vs Pacquiao | May 2nd (TOMORROW)

    They're probably judging in terms of punch quality. Mayweather won because he ducked a lot of Pac's punches and hugged up whenever Pac got into range to land more quality stuff. On the flip side, 67 of the 148 punches he landed were jabs and most of those were meaninglessly into Pac's gloves...

    Steam Workshop: Now get paid for your mod creations on Steam

    It has. The PCMR subreddit is already talking about changing their banner to not idolize Gabe anymore. Multiple threads about no longer continuing the circlejerk over Gabe/Valve. And so on. Valve's definitely taken a big hit by trying this all for a few thousand dollars a day of extra profit.

    HL2:Update

    I just realized it's been 7.5 years since HL2:E2 was released. That highlights how bad of a failure their episodic content idea turned out to be in execution. DNF was a failure. Waiting so long for it amplified that failure but the things DNF received criticism for I have a hard time...

    2015 NFL draft and offseason thread: How will the Browns screw up this year?

    The Pat's apparently were done negotiating for Revis on Monday, which is when they told Browner that they basically weren't picking him up either. Browner is not a #1 corner. He's not good on a team unless they have a lock down #1 corner. He excels at brawling on the line against the bigger...

    The FCC votes on Net Neutrality tomorrow...

    The author isn't writing that to state that net neutrality is worthless. He's addressing some misconceptions the general public may have about it. It's not about breaking up monopolies and improving data caps. It's making sure those monopolies don't control and stifle the Internet because of...

    Verizon and Comcast and the like were poised to become the gatekeepers of the Internet had they abolished net neutrality. That would have been anything but a free Internet. You have your wires crossed.

    A 1 bedroom costs HOW MUCH!? LA/NY edition

    LA doesn't seem as bad as Boston. I live 5 miles or so outside of Boston and its hard to find a decent single bedroom for less than $1200. Places in the city that are in the $1300 range are 400 sq ft studios or poorly kept apartments.

    Pediatrician declines to care for lesbians baby

    That's not involuntary servitude. Her entire labor as a doctor benefiting someone else would qualify as such. But she is operating as a doctor presumably of her own free volition. And doctor's take an oath to help those in need. While their situation was not dire the lesbian couple still...
