Yeah, I was a little disappointed, shortly after Season 9 ended, they said they wrapped up one arc but have set the series up to where it could run for just one more or ten more. I hope it doesn't go on much longer. I think after Season 5, if they'd quit there, they'd have had a good run and the...

Supernatural sure does bring people back a lot, and in weird ways. I just caught up with that. Marathonned it this whole year. They really seem to be playing to the ladies, first adding Cass, then Crowley. But I had an interesting reason for watching it. Long story short, I caught part of an...

Dead on and no offense taken. It's just, the video my camera and phone shoot is uncompressed and it's stupid to store it that way, so I got some sweet Handbrake settings I like, and I feed it through that. Takes about six hours per hour of video. But eventually it gets done and the file size...

That's good information on the i7 and i5. Thanks. I've never built with Intel and I just want to get the most for my money. HT=Hyperthreading? I thought that was a big deal? I remember when Intel introduced it as a refresh (I think) to the Pentium 4 line. Pentium 4 HT was such a big deal. Then...

Well, good luck. GTA 4 really let me down, so I switched to Saints Row (3) and was not disappointed. Stupid game, with the premise and story, but so much fun. 4 is even better. So much fun. (They even have a skin pack, GAT V, poking fun at GTA V.) But GTA V looks good. I'll probably get it when...

Well, I bought an upper midrange GPU (well, it cost $180 USD) in 2011 and that's what I have now. If it's really that bad, or at least easy to beat with another midrange card... I think I'll be better off waiting and then getting a good card down the road a ways. I ultimately want to go back to...

Okay, I think I have heard of that... and skipped it over because my system can just barely run it on Ultra, and I'm not willing to take it down to run graphics mods. I'm hoping by not playing it on PC until I upgrade, I'll appreciate it with all the graphics mods.

STEP? I think there's a way to back up your mods. I use Nexus Mod Manager for mine. But in any case, if you go so long without playing, all the mods will need updates anyway. The ones that are updated, that is. But really, the only really big mods are quest mods (which IMO aren't good enough...

Everyone has their own definitions. For me, dork just means socially awkward and maybe likes a couple geek pursuits. Nerds are the really smart ones, engineers and such, maybe working for NASA. Geeks are kind of in the middle... like you said. I'm all over smartphones, and in the 6-9 months...

You think DDR3 will get more expensive when DDR4 comes out? I assumed DDR4 would push DDR3 prices down, not up. A year or two you could get a decent 4x4GB set for ~$100. Someone told me and I about called him a liar, but decided to check Newegg (not even PC Part Picker) and he wasn't lying. I'm...

805 replies but no posts in almost 9 months... Post here, or the "I don't like SKYRIM" topic which was recently necro'd from a 4-month hiatus... Hopefully it's not too much of a faux pas to revive this one. For the Thieves Guild quests, I was playing on Xbox so the loading times were atrocious...

I'm doing an upgrade next year, and I've been saying I'm going to put 16GB on the motherboard... and to be honest with ya, I'll probably end up doing that anyway, since, last I checked, the cost isn't that different. But I've been advised 8GB should be all I need, and since I'm new here I...

I've been looking for a new tech forum to post on for a while. Figured I'd use Tapatalk to help me, since I have that app on my phone and could more easily follow a forum that way. I've been on a couple forums since forums were a thing. From Wikipedia: Ontology is the study of the nature of...
