    Dick Winters, of 'Band of Brothers' fame, dies

    If his BoB portrayal was anything like his true self, I would have loved to have met the guy and at the very least, shake his hand or something :( RIP :rose:

    Got hot case? Check this fan out.

    Actually, that's just a pic of my Enermax Phoenix (which came with the 250mm side fan). Personally I think it looks pretty good - it lets the blue LED light through (which also synchronizes with my blue desktop theme between my monitor power button, mouse, and keyboard LEDs). It also breaks up...

    TF2 Gaming Night: Redux **This Friday September 12th, 8:00PM EST**

    The server went from 14 people to 1 person in 30 seconds flat :( Someone mentioned I needed to turn up the volume on my mic - it's maxed in both Windows (with 20db boost) and TF2 (with voice boost or whatever). If anyone knows of a way I could boost the volume even more, that would be great...

    Have you done an LOTR Extended Edition marathon?

    I ALMOST went through an extended edition marathon, after reading the entire book series over the summer. I watched the whole extended versions of Fellowship and Two Towers, but then it got too late for me to finish Return of the King. This was like last Saturday. I have yet to watch Return of...

    Paging Guitar Players

    The Spider III that gorcorps recommended is nice, but for the same price, you can get the new Peavey Vypyr 15 modeling amp. You get a ton more features and customizability for $100... I spent maybe 3 days reading impressions and reviews of this amp, and it's pretty much unanimously better than...

    Wouldn't you need it to be a little bigger if you're like, y'know, living in it?

    So is there an Anandtech TF2 server?

    I have a feeling I'm about to get banned on my regular CS:Source server, so I'll probably be playing a lot more TF2 (haha). I've been playing a lot of TF2 lately anyway. This is Aflac, by the way :shiftyeyes; Oh, and I want those two (at least) friends achievements: With friends like these...

    TF2 question

    When I first started TF2, my starting classes were Scout, Medic, Engy, and Soldier. Scout because it was run and gun, and the fast running helps you learn a level quickly. Soldier because it's probably the most all-around offensive class. Engy because.... I don't really know. I learned a choke...

    Good Speakers for Creative X-Fi card?

    I would suggest NOT doing the opamp mod unless you're really handy with a soldering iron and have experience with soldering (and especially DESOLDERING) SOIC chips. I thought I was decent with a soldering iron myself (having built a CMOY amp and some minor SOIC adapter soldering), but I got...

    FN Five-Seven - It's a gun.

    There's no such thing as a desert eagle? or no such thing as a deagle for $100 less? or the P228? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIG_P226#P228

    Favorite PC game soundtrack?

    As a whole, I listened to the music of FFX the most. FFX-2 had like 3 great songs, but the rest was junk.

    Is it just me, or is dim sum really expensive?

    Bo Loong is decent, but lately my family's been going to Tom Seafood Restaurant. The food is great and I believe it's pretty cheap, too. But are you in Phoenix permanently now?

    Can you have a dead pixel temporarily?

    Sounds like a stuck pixel to me, not a dead pixel. They can change.

    Dream Theater: Train of Thought

    I like it, but it doesn't really have much character. My favorite album by far is SDoIT CD2, followed closely by Metropolis Pt. 2: SfaM, then Octavarium. Then after that it's a wash.

    Name some movies you didn't get the plot on the very first viewing?

    I watched both of these in the same night, on an all-nighter Red Bull-fueled rush. My head was spinning by the end of it all.

    What could you go for right now?

    It took way too long for someone to say "sex". Which is, incidentally, what I could definitely go for right now.

    What Game do you keep coming back too?

    CS Source and Baldur's Gate (though I'm beginning to run short on time now, so BG is beginning to be out of the question due to its nature as a massive massive time sink). on console/portable: Ocarina of Time Golden Sun Phantasy Star IV Final Fantasy 7/X

    FLYING WITHOUT ID/LICENSE

    I lost my wallet the day before I flew back home for Thanksgiving, so I had some trouble getting through security. I had my student ID and photocopies of my passport and license, though, so I showed these to the check-in people and explained my situation; after a disgruntled sigh, I think she...

    My Baby

    I was under the impression that FSP Group (or FPS Group?) was a part of Fortron, and has relatively good-quality PSUs. Then again, I think the Corsair VX series may be still better.

    Replacement for WMP 11?

    Winamp seems to fit the bill, but I prefer foobar2000 for simple music playing.
