    Theater altercation

    Cliffs: Movie starts (Avengers, PG-13). Little girl just will NOT shut up, and the parents do nothing. I turn around, after waiting plenty of time for them to correct the mistake on their own, and tell them to shut their stupid child up. I'm not one for tact. Movie ends, dumb bitch...

    New vs used

    All my life I've always heard that one should never buy a BRAND new car (unless money just flat out isn't an issue for you) because it's just really financially stupid. Is this still true today? I have a pair of friends who are a couple, and yesterday they went to get a new car and instead came...

    Crossfire with different cards?

    I just built a new PC a month and a half ago, and at the time I got one video card with the intention of ordering a second around this time. Well, now I can't find the exact card anymore; it's deactivated/sold out/etc. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102954 Can I get ANY...

    Cyberbullying

    I don't get it. Why are so many parents and politicians so gung-ho about putting an end to cyberbullying? Why do the proposed laws even exist? If a kid doesn't have the common sense to simply turn off the computer and do something else then I have no sympathy. Why aren't these idiot parents...

    Mid-High end gaming PC (part 3!)

    Since search is broken and I couldn't find my old thread I have to make a new one. I apologize for this. After getting a lot of feedback from here, a few other sites, and some irl friends I think I have a good system pieced together. No one told me specifically which parts to buy, and I'm a...

    Cleaning up overflowing toilets just isn't very fun

    Had a friend from California visiting their family for the holidays over last night. We hung out, had a great night, watched a movie, etc. Then when she was about to leave she asked to use the bathroom first. No problem. Oh wait, no. There was a problem. Her fat turds clogged my toilet. Good...

    Gaming PC at the end of January 2012

    Too soon to plan? If not: 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Pretty much just gaming. 2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread Around $1000 to $1500 or so 3. What country YOU will be...

    Gaming marathon ideas?

    Situation: The woman is going to be out of town for four days, and I have the rest of the week off from work, plus the weekend. I plan to bachelor it up, eat unhealthy, disregard pants, and sleep very little. What are some good ideas for gaming while she's gone? I mean, I could easily play...

    How much do you value loyalty?

    First off, I'm not talking about relationships, that's a different beast. For example, though, how loyal are you to your: Town? School? Place of employment? etc. I find that I personally don't hold it in very high regard. If I worked somewhere and was offered more money elsewhere to do...

    Looking for new radio suggestions

    My CD player in my pickup is shot. It just won't read discs anymore, so I want to replace it. I think I can do it all by myself, but I don't have a clue what I should get at all. My truck is a 2001 GMC Sonoma, and I believe I will have to get some sort of "dash kit" or something in order for...

    I need a hobby. Help me, ATOT.

    Serious thread. I need a creative outlet. I used to animate, but I sort of just stopped doing it. I've thought about doing stuff like PC case mods, etc., but I don't own any tools aside from a hammer and screwdriver =/. I used to build small websites pretty much solely for personal use, but I...

    The Big Bang Theory is just terrible these days

    In before "herpderp it was never good lololol." Troll elsewhere. When the show started it was nerdy and it was geeky. The characters did experiments, talked about nerdy things, etc. Now the show is just... terrible. They are writing some of the characters just wrong, namely Sheldon. It's like...

    I recently started watching TNG

    Growing up I only caught bits of the show while my dad watched TOS and TNG, and they looked boring as hell. So I was a 27 year old nerd who had never seen a single episode of any Star Trek series... Well, my girlfriend convinced me to give TNG a shot and holy mother of GOD it's fantastic. I...

    Winter car cover

    I did a search and didn't find anything specifically about this... My girlfriends car is rarely used these days, and with winter coming, she wants to get a car cover to keep snow and ice off. What's the "best" brand of cover? Basically the car will be sitting in the same place for the entire...

    Career for a problem solver?

    I love to solve problems. It's my favorite part of my job. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen near as often as I'd like. What are some careers that focus primarily on problem solving, almost exclusively? Example: One of my clients had some changes made to his database, and no one ever turned on...

    Macbook Air differences

    I found an October 2010 Macbook Air on Craigslist for $1000. The specs are listed on this wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macbook_air under Late 2010 (it's the 13" model with 4GB of RAM and 128GB SSD). I've been out of the computer hardware loop for quite a while; how much better are...

    Disgaea 4

    Anyone else love this series? I've been hearing that this one is the best so far, but I've only been able to put about 30 minutes into it at this point. I like the two main characters, though they're no Laharl and Co. I look forward to "wasting" 1000 hours of my life again :awe:

    Where can I get a Chinese to USA power plug converter/adapter?

    I recently bought a Sega Homestar, and the seller made no mention of it needing an adapter because it was made with a Chinese one: From what I can tell, that's also considered a UK plug. Where can I get an adapter or converter that will let me plug it into a generic United States outlet...

    Starting a "business" question

    If I run a website where people pay me for a service I do remotely, what kind of records do I need to keep so the government doesn't tax rape me later? The services would be random (not sexual, you deviants) and not even close to my full time job, just something fun for extra money.

    Gamestop starts beta testing console streaming

    http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/19/gamestop-beta-testing-console-streaming-service This will absolutely, epicly fail. Unless the service works almost identical to Netflix, and isn't more than $20 a month, it just flat out cannot succeed. And this is Gamestop so it will be half-assed and...

    Phone call spam...

    So today I received a ridiculous amount of calls on my cell phone (at work, can't answer), and I was unsure why. Well, it turns out that some guy from my hometown used some prank call application and randomly picked my number as the outgoing number, so hey, thanks, dick. Anyway, I now know...

    Anything I can do about coworkers that don't do... anything?

    First off, I'm sure I'm just going to be told multiple times to MYOB, and I usually do, but sometimes it gets to the point where I just get so frustrated that I want to do something. They stand around near my desk talking to other employees that don't do anything, and I feel helpless while...

    Good dishes to practice cooking?

    I'm an average cook, very average, but I really enjoy doing it and want to make more (and more, and more...). I can make a pretty good chili imo, and I also think I make great fried rice, but I want to make portion sized stuff. I want to know how to make a good chicken parmigiana, I want to be...

    PSN Summer Sale

    I miss Kotaku

    Since I absolutely refuse to use the terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE new layout I have been using uk.kotaku.com. Now they've updated it to the new format, so I guess that's that. The reason behind keeping the change is annoying as hell, too. Any other good game news sites that are updated...

    Does anyone else feel like the generational gap is too big?

    Best games where you can go on a rampage?

    After finishing Infamous 2 and having fun rampaging here and there as an evil guy, I have a hunger for more carnage :P. What are some of the better "mass murder/destruction" games? Obviously the GTA series sticks out, and I recently played Just Cause 2, which I loved as well. Are there any games...

    I am very ignorant about politics, but I have a question

    Bush is considered one of our worst presidents ever, right? These days I see praise for Obama in addition to the criticisms, but the criticisms don't seem to really be all that bad compared to how much I remember people hating on Bush. So now my question: Why do I see TONS of "Impeach Obama...
