    What are you using for headsets in console gaming?

    Consider the Hyper-X Clouds, one of the most popular sets on the market and for good reason. Good quality/reviews and since these are rebranded Takstar Pro 80s (www.head-fi.org/products/takstar-pro-80) are actually quite good for sound quality. Picked my own set set up a week ago and are...

    DJ Sona Drops the Beat!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6TeOcvIUYg Is this when they supposedly "specifically made the arcade sona skin worse"? Cause of it is, I don't think I can really agree with what you're saying in your post. Assuming malice of that extent would be more that a bit of a stretch for me...

    Rumor: Warner Bros. Plans Legion of Superheroes Movie?

    This might be an unpopular opinion but I'm kinda tired of 'what feels' like a glut of superhero movies of late. Maybe I just got older or something but I don't get anywhere near the kind of joy I used to get watching them when I was younger.

    The Sims 2 And All 18 of Its Expansions Are Free on Origin

    What does Securom actually do? I've run the game a few times without Origin and don't notice anything different.

    Blade of Darkness - Grim and Great

    I remember having trouble in a few portions of the game where I just couldn't get past certain enemies. That's when I'd save right before seeing them and use all the cheap tricks I could think of. My favorite trick was to try setting enemies on fire by throwing torches at them. I also carried...

    Study Claims Smelling Farts Could Prevent Cancer and Other Diseases

    In the future, maybe there'll exist a system for payment/donation/collection for farts such as currently exists for blood/sperm. Quality tests, questionnaires, "fart drives" at your local health center etc.

    Study Claims Smelling Farts Could Prevent Cancer and Other Diseases

    What point is there in living longer if the thing keeping you alive makes you wish for death? Oh science, the things you do sometimes.

    Just started playing Dota 2. Everyone's nice?

    I've played LoL since OB and have about 4k-5k games under my belt. Maybe my experience is just wildly different from everyone else's on the internet or I just don't notice it so much but I really don't experience that much negativity in LoL. The number of people I've considered bad enough to add...

    $500k iFind Kickstarter Campaign Suspended, Possibly a Scam

    I like "Terminated" for this usage :P I know scammers and people looking to game the system always have (and always will) exist but for some reason, I'm particularly disgusted by some of the scammers on crowd-funded projects. No idea why.

    african american athletes..does their ability have anything to do with slavery?

    http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonentine/2012/08/12/the-dna-olympics-jamaicans-win-sprinting-genetic-lottery-and-why-we-should-all-care/ I think it has a lot to do with the potential you're born with that you inherit through your genes. The discipline and hard work; the dedication and training...

    The X-Men: Days of Future Past post credits scene... *SPOILERS OF COURSE*

    He's actually going to be in the 2016 Apocalypse movie. Played by Channing Tatum...

    "Appropriate" Phone Backgrounds

    I think what Pluvia means OP, is that it's generally considered a bad picture to use as a background due to its risque nature. That it's in 'anime/manga aesthetic' doesn't help as it may more easily make people who see it (and are unfamiliar/uncomfortable with that kind of style) think you're...

    TES IV: Oblivion Appreciation Thread

    I loved the quests of Oblivion but ABSOLUTELY HATED how it handled leveling and enemy-scaling. I remember starting a new game and right after escaping the prison, feeling compelled to immediately acquire the horse, turn difficulty up to the highest and hack at it with a dagger (while crouching)...

    Poll: A Song of Ice and Fire Vs The Malazan Book of the Fallen

    I bought the first four ASOIAF books on a whim (as they were on sale) but deserted the first one only a couple of pages in; only reached the part where someone's being executed and the character's father is watching to make sure it's carried out or something to that effect. I'm not sure what...

    Du Pont heir dodged prison for raping 3-year-old daughter after judge ruled he 'would not fare well'

    Read the whole thread and I'm honestly scared only a little bit more by the child-rapist than I am by the posters advocating many different kinds of brutal punishment. I hope I don't meet either of you in a dark alleyway.
