Your TV, that you hook up your X Box to is already.... a TV.

hahahaa. Man did they manage to be uncool.

Internet connections aren't 'always online'. Whenever our ISP screws something up it usually involves 2-3 days with no connectivity, it only gets worse way out in the sticks.

Definitely staged tho

Yeah that should have been in another thread.

I think my list would differ seasonally. I also think making a top ten makes about as much sense as the Eurovision song contest. There is no objective criteria for excellence.

PS is still the one stop for photo editing. I could care less about their other products. Flash is destined to die out anyway as HTML takes over video functionality. It wasn't excellent when I last tried it, but that was a long time ago, maybe I should again.

Torchlight hit the right balance I think. An upgrade of your most powerful set of pistolas happened about 4-5 times total and there were rares that you could use throughout the game because the effects stacked with others of the same kind.

Ahh, level requirements for equipment was what made me lose interest in Borderlands. Every time you get something good it's obsolete 5 mins later. Completely takes away the excitement of a rare drop. You have to wait untill you have more or less finished the game before you can really start playing it and be able to keep what you find. That's just stupid.

It has virtual dollars bought with real ones ?. Not interested. It more or less automatically means that the non checkbook assisted playthough will be extremely grind heavy. I have only seen two screenshots but it feels like I played it obsessively for months and finally got disgusted with it and uninstalled. Saves me some time anyway.

Looks like you don't even need a logon anymore. They are posting serial numbers and treating it as abandonware. Not a whole lot has happened to the core functionalities of PS since then though. http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/ Anyway if you are morally disinclined to use their software then good luck with GIMP.

Photoshop CS 2 is free for download with an Adobe logon. That would be my first stop.

Bought some vintage nikes at a swapmeet, went to my sisters wedding, got so drunk I had trouble not falling off my bike on the way home. No pretty ladies in my bed unfortunately.

We should totally do that to the Swedes.

I'm thinking Lions, plural, with spears. The Masai have been doing that for so long it's said lions have developed a genetically conditioned response to the way the Masai run. You are a man when you spear one and make charm out of its incisors.

The ludicrous prestige card from Nvidia (Titan or Goliath or something) can be powered with 250w if memory serves. Not that it will ever pay for itsef in power savings, but it's the first time ever that I remember that a more powerful card had a massively reduced power draw. That IS pretty cool.

I don't know if there is a condition where one obsessively generalises about countries, if there is Oby is patient zero. I don't think I have ever seen a post of his not related in some way.

It's almost always about teenagers and sexual and emotional tension. It's a formula that works both on teenagers and on older people wanting to relive their high school days.

I heard game wardens have started injecting their horns with poison. Small enough doses to that it doesn't affect the animal. might be a good solution if you could ensure it was done to every animal the demand would go down to nothing.

The US is not an occupation force, it's a strategic alliance and the Japanese are quite determined to stick with the post war constitiution. There is absolutely zero chance of Japanese democracy disappearing with the US bases. I thought it was rather interesting to hear American generals come out openly and declare that the US would not trade in Japan for China, even if it was the more logcial choice of the two, notwithstanding the historical relationship.

So conversely Europe which had Hitler, Mussolini and Franco is demonstrating it's penchant for the rights of man in this same period. If the good guys hadn't won there would have been no democracy at all, formal or otherwise. If you are going to take stock of democratic tradition you need to do so after the deciding confrontation.

You know Japan was a democracy before those authoritarians took over, like Germany. True story.

Ram, mobo and processor go together, in the sense that it's very rarely worth upgrading within the same generation of those. The rest may be salvagable depending on your power plant. I'm thinking of getting an i7 when the new line of intel processors come out. This is a good stop to try out different combinations, it will alert you if you are making any obvious mistakes that might turn out costly. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/parts/case/

He also told US base commanders that American soliders ought to use more prostitutes. You know for morale. A real charmer.

This kind of rhetoric is bread and butter for ultranationalists, you can find those anywhere.
