    Are consoles really this bad now?

    Split screen was fun back in the day, but really its only advantage was efficiency, and that often came at the expense of functionality. There's a good reason games like Halo started having LAN parties, where everyone went so far as to bring their own TVs. People ultimately like having a whole...

    Are consoles really this bad now?

    Longtime PC ganer here. I have dabbled in consoles in the past, I have always enjoyed the split screen aspect of consoles, as well as the local multiplayer party games and ease of use. Long story short: WTF happened? My family got a PS4 for christmas, along with 3 extra controllers. Over...

    Buying a new car?

    So I have a 4 year old kia coming off lease, I didn't like it that much, and I was looking at new cars. After doing some test drives, I really liked the chevy volt, but it is $30k after rebates. This works out to $440 a month over 84 months. Alternatively I could buy my crappy Kia for about...

    Book vs Show question for Game of Thrones (Spoilers, duh)

    I can't stand how they try to change certain characters to make them more or less sympathetic to suit the warped vision of D&D Cersei: She's a crazy evil ***** in the book, but I hate how they try to make her more sympathetic to the audience for the show. It tries to hard to portray her as a...

    Should I accept this TEFL placement?

    I definitely think I will enjoy it, and right now I am leaning towards doing it. I guess the question is whether I could do something similar without having to pay $1500. Does anyone else have experience with other programs that allow you to work in Europe (for non-EU citizens), IE other TEFL...

    Should I accept this TEFL placement?

    So I am currently not doing too much with my life, I graduated and have been working dead end jobs, and I don't have much momentum going in any particular direction. I applied to a TEFL company, and after my interview, I was selected for a placement in the Czech Republic. This seems like it...

    Star Wars Force Awakens Spoiler Filled discussion thread (no spoiler tags, you've been warned)

    Personally, I guessed it fairly quickly, and I looked it up and I believe I am right. I am tempted not to spoiler tag it given the name of this thread and be a smartass, but I will resist He is Nah, that wasn't corusscant, the target was in the Hosnian system. Overall, I was fairly...

    Is "dropping the n-bomb" racist?

    It's like what Dumbledore said to Harry about not saying "Voldemort" When you refuse to say a word, you give it power. Heck, some of my friends call me a "******" all the time. It doesn't offend me, I know they're not even referring to black people when they say it.

    Asbestos in the workplace

    Today when I go in to work, I am going to ask for the health and safety sheets to verify that the tiles in question are indeed Asbestos. Normally I don't like making waves, but I think if they are, I will confront the managers, because they could be putting peoples lives in danger. I will...

    Asbestos in the workplace

    I am from Ontario, Canada, and I am fairly certain the is the same here. It is a very small two level stockroom, with a grated floor on the second level. They were drilling into the ceiling on the second level about 20 feet from where I was on the first level, where they had me organizing...

    Asbestos in the workplace

    So to keep a long story short, I started a new job, and the tiles in a recently renovated but small stockroom where I now work are made of asbestos. I raised some concerns, but I did not want to make a fuss since I am new, and they told me it was all safe and up to code. So today was my...

    The Canonical Race of the Inquistor.

    Nope, my shepard was a racist human supremacist, and my ending is that I took control of the reapers and then proceeded to holocaust the rest of the races, leaving humans the sole power in the galaxy.
