  1. I dug around and I believe this would be a good processor. Intel Core i5-3350P Ivy Bridge 3.1GHz LGA 1155 69W Considering I'm getting a graphics card, I don't need integrated graphics and so that cuts down on the cost. I'll search around for a motherboard, but another question: If the motherboard says "77W," does that mean my processor has to be 77W, or that it can handle up to 77W?
  2. Well, sure, if you wanna see... Right at the 3:26 mark it's mentioned. Again, this Ti version runs a bit better than the two cards I've been looking at, but I'm not sure if I can really afford an extra $100. Speaking of... I've been thinking of going with an Intel processor, but I'm noticing AMD processors seem to run a bit cheaper. If I was to go with Intel, how much is enough for a gaming PC? How many Ghz, and should it be i3, i5, or i7?
  3. Yep, Mega64 has done it again. It reminds me of the Elite Beat Agents one where we hear the effects, but in actuality all they're doing is jumping around. Not too surprised the cops were called, because lets face it, when you got masked guys jump around you saying nothing, it's gonna give people da creeps.
  4. Meh, I went for it. I was thinking to myself if it ever went to 50% off, I'd go for it. The question is whether I'll actually get to it before June 14, because once The Last of Us drops on my doorstep, any other games get put on hold.
  5. It looks like Injustice will be $35. For Tomb Raider, while the deal isn't "supposedly" available, its current price is $33.30 for PS3/360, and $19.99 as PC download.
  6. Amazon Gold Box, all Video Games NOW! EDIT: Going through the list, Injustice and Tomb Raider are the big hitters. Well, if you're interested in "Dead Island: Ah Here It Goes Edition," that's $31.99 for the next 5.75 hours. If you own a 3DS (XL too), the AmazonBasics Carrying Case is pretty good. Not much room, but for the probable cost, it's worth the money.
  7. Yo, I think I found my graphics card. EDIT #2: [Got rid of the old graphics cards because...] I took it upon myself to do more research, and thus I think I should (unless otherwise) go with the... Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 I went through Newegg's lists at least three times, and this one will run a little better and cooler than the MSI equivalent. As for any Ti version, I probably will forgo it. I honest don't think I would need it, though the MSI Twin Frozr IV has a neat feature of running the fans in reverse for 30 seconds to clear dust off. But that's not worth an extra $100!
  8. The feeling of turning off auto-correct or text "prediction:" absolutely marvelous.

      Classic Wally!

       

      Nah, just today when I was price checking stuff at a store, sometimes I had to enter in an acronym when the barcode didn't work.

      What keyboard do you use?

  9. The watermark gag through me for a bit, but I understood it's the producers acting like they had to rip footage from Fox. Unfortunately, quite a bit of people became confused and began to worry, or get a little pissed because of it being "amateur." I'm currently going through the first couple episodes, but I want to hold off until some of the family watches together.
  10. I like it, but maybe because I like the character designs. OR MAYBE I LIKE ROBOT-LIKE COOL DUDES WITH CLOAKS?!
  11. Truth be told I can't really blow it all at once, but as far as the setup goes, it does look good. How would "dual" graphics cards work? I imagine the motherboard has to be formatted to utilize two. Speaking of... Intel or AMD motherboard? I feel like in the past I've always had trouble with AMD, but wouldn't an AMD graphics card (if I got one) be more "at home" with an AMD motherboard? Everything else I can handle, like the HDDs/SSDs, PSU, and etc. It's the motherboard and graphics card that stump me.
  12. I don't know if you guys can find the link through the website, but recently I downloaded the Newegg app to start browsing for components when I'm away from the laptop. There's a category in the app called "Build Your Own..." which I believe shows all the DIY PC combo deals. I don't mean to take much of your precious time, but are any of those combo deals worth it? I'm trying to stay under $1000 for the entire build, and I do have the monitor and mouse already covered. I mean, there's something like this: Here Rosewill cases are on sale with a 20% promo code. I haven't looked at many cases yet, and I've read a few opinions that say Rosewill cases are ugly. The Patriot case recently came out, but with the promo code it still comes out around $64, which seems a bit high for a case. It's also steel rather than "SECC steel" which I've read is better for heat. Any advice would be appreciated! EDIT: I just found the CM Storm Enforcer case. On both Amazon and Newegg it's the same price, and Newegg says it won Tom's Hardware Recommend Buy Award. I would probably get it from Amazon as it has Prime shipping, but given that nothing is going to ship until Tuesday, there's time.
  13. Awesome Daft Punk Helmet gifs!
  14. Honestly thinking of just buying a pre-built desktop PC. I wanted to piece it together, but lately some of my projects have been staying incomplete.

      Yes really. Just have someone online guide you through what you need to buy.

  15. Only definitive way I would play CoD: Ghosts: http://i.imgur.com/yKZwUdM.jpg

      I want a full feature game where I play as a dog. It would actually be interesting... Now this: http://i.imgur.com/UUfQtJj.png

      If we get corgi DLC I want basset hound DLC. Where's Wally? He'll agree with me..

      Cowboy don't make me choose between Bassets and Corgis. I love them both for different reason.

  16. I like to think of Iwata tuning in to the Xbox One reveal while simultaneously keeping a live feed of all the feedback. Then, as the press gather all the post-show information, the staff directly under Iwata gather it. He spends time analyzing it all, seeing the frothing rage shooting forth from gamers' mouths. He pushes an intercom button and calmly says, "It is time to strike." The recipient was Reggie Fils-Aime, and he has gathered an elite team. The star agent: a dog.
  17. IGN did have a drinking game, and I believe it was Rev3Games that had Bingo cards.
  18. I was surprised at how easy it was for me to make my decision to stay with Sony and Nintendo. I'm just not that interested in a (probably) $400 voice controlled television remote.
  19. Which makes a whole lot of freakin' sense given I don't see how anyone else could applause at... a lot. EDIT: Fix'd da link, Juan.
  20. Enjoying Daft Punk & Various Artists when I see Japan got a Bonus track "Horizon." In short, it's beautiful: http://goo.gl/nurI2

      In other words: Japan gets a b-side every time.

      Man, listening to the album in order, we could have used Horizon at the end. IMO, Contact ends pretty rough, like the article was saying.

    4. Waldorf and Statler

      Waldorf and Statler

      yeah. Look at the bright side. Downloads will be available soon and you can add Horizon to the end.

  21. Out of the entire Xbox reveal, the only thing I cared about was the dog character in CoD: Ghosts. Dogs are cool!

  22. I really couldn't give any amount of crap about television. But hey! There are females! CONFIRMED: MICROSOFT NOT SEXIST!
  23. Guys, it's our new Kinect. Serious, we're going to make this work guys! It's "the world's best controller!"
