    Anyone with experience traveling to S. America?

    TDLR: Been there. Get vaccinated/take pills. Take a book. Dont worry about repellent. 2004ish: My ex-girlyfriend and I took a river boat ride down the amazon that lasted a couple of days (maybe a week?). (Roughly the same area you are talking about) When I say boat ride, think old school...

    Sequels that far surpassed CRAPTASTIC original games, *NOT GOOD ORIGINALS*

    Not that all of these originals were mediocre, but these sequels were definitely better System Shock 2 Freespace 2 Tie Fighter (sequel to x-wing) Baldur's Gate 2 Borderlands 2 Homeworld 2 (gameplay-wise) Left For Dead 2 Portal 2

    Natural Selection 2 looks pretty sweet

    I got in on the super cheap steam sale myself and I've got around 20hrs so far...pretty badass mixture of Savage & AvP. Good stuff:thumbsup:

    Upgraded my video card. Benchmark results surprisingly bad

    My initial guess is that your motherboard has an older 1.0 pci-e slot instead of the newer 3.0. Just a guess due to limited info. Edit for clarification: The 7850 you have is made for the a 3.0 slot, but can still be used by a slower 1.0 slot.

    IM Tool that supports multiple IM protocols

    I'm a fan of Miranda. It has a boat load of plugins that will allow you to do pretty much anything you need. It can be a bit complicated to get it setup 'just right' however.

    those with rooted GNEX

    Currently I'm running AOKP which i like alot. However, they have yet to release a 4.2 build. That said, the best thing rooting has allowed me to do is rename the phone so that i can bypass Verizon and install GWallet from the play store.

    Android's NFC support is kinda lame

    I love using GW on my Verizon Nexus. Being able to hike around town and not needing to bring my wallet (which consists of 1cc and my ID rubberbanded together) makes my life much better (i hate carrying things. Ex. i have 2 keys on my keychain) Thank god for rooting and Google making it...

    Ate at the new 5 guys place today...do they always serve that much fries?

    Boardwalk is the shit! For those not familiar with it, its basically a better 5guys. They have similar, yet better fries, and their burgers are just a hair better.

    Is this a waste of time on android?

    I personally experience MUCH better battery life by leaving WIFI on while i'm at the house. With wifi on, i can make it thru an entire day without charging. Using LTE, it's guaranteed i'll have to charge it

    Keyless deadbolt locks for house? (PICs)

    I'm not sure where you live curse, but here in Atlanta, the majority of break-ins are done by kicking in a door. I've watched plenty of footage of kids/teenagers to know it's really easy. deadbolts are a joke if you dont have anything re-enforcing the doorframes such as 3in screws on your...

    95% done with Roommate prank #342

    i personally would much rather be glued to a toilet than to have someone mess with my music or my car's stereo system...of all of pranks i've read about (and enjoyed) in these forums, this is the first one to actually make me think "that's f8cked up". That said, this prank really hits home...

    How can someone seriously say the graphics of Torch Light 2 are better than D3?

    I totally agree. Because of this, I've been telling a friend 'it gets better, trust me'. Another thing that i really like about the game that I dind't see mentioned are teh damn treasure goblins! There's nothing better than playing with a couple of buds and hearing someone scream out...

    Verizon Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4 Update Countdown Thread: Rolling 1&2 June 2012

    I've only had the phone for about 2mos now, which was long enough for me to get fedup with VZ and make me flash AOKP yesterday. I can't imagine what it's like to be someone that's owned the phone since Dec and is still sitting on 4.02

    why does this make me happy?

    I played it and liked it. It had some really bad ass moments that i thought were cool as hell...way fucking cool. but i cancelled after the first month. I plan on going back eventually, but I've currently got too much work, and too many 2.50$ steam games to play ... not to mention the games...

    BCS Playoff

    I can't wait to watch SEC teams head up north and win. These writers act like winter doesn't exist in the south. What will be their excuse when SEC teams win in the cold? "well, they only won because the SEC team's fans bought all of the tickets..."
