What's going on in APB world these days? I remember giving it a swing about a year ago, but didn't make it much past the tutorials.

Aaaand today we discover that Tbone has an old man fetish.

But in all seriousness Rev, you know we've got your back, and will help however we can! I'll even dip into my porn archive and dig up my old 'donkyfun' folder for you if that'll help!

So a CSM for each class? I love this idea! I really hope that they're able to get some straight heads like yours on board to get some quality player feedback.

Power to the players!

Doesn't mean it's not entertaining to poke fun at.

Someone really wanted to do a reinterpretation of West Side Story but couldn't write worth a damn and decided to that video games would work.

A+ for production value.
C- for content.

Just picked up a new power supply and I'm getting all my shit set back up. If you work on computers regularly and want a fantastic updater/downloader for some core third-party programs, you should take a look at Ninite. Has saved me countless hours since they launched, and just made my afternoon that much easier.

Keep weekly tabs on Newegg+retailers for CPU+Mobo+Misc combos like these.

Budget for a GPU in a separate purchase. Until then, what you've got should hold together fine and will work with most any modern mobo.

PSU is going to be a bottleneck. After checking CPU consumption, settle on a GPU. THEN AND ONLY THEN start looking at PSU's. The GPU you decide on could have up to two or three times the power need as most of your other components.

RAM is cheap. If you can get it in a combo deal then cool, but combo packages that include a more important piece of hardware like a PSU/GPU are going to save you more than a package that may have memory bundled with it.

Otherwise you know the rest. Read reviews, ask friends, yadda yadda. GL;HF!

Battlefield has been the best FPS for awhile now. No surprise there.

Q3A? UT? What is this I don't even.

Oh god... hyperjumping in first-person VR...

Who needs shrooms with Oculus?

Why not both?

Actually, hallucinogens would be awful come to think of it. A dissociative like ketamine (haha fuck no) or salvia would work better.

But hey, apparently even a little alcohol combined with the Oculus will make you blow chunks. I'd be hesitant to even be hopped up on Red Bull with this thing.

I get forwarded a LOT of very lame stoner humor from friends (smokers and non-smokers alike), but this one was actually pretty good.

So far this week's news in the media has been so much Sony fanboi circlejerking over the current news announcements. Booooring.

What I'd like to find out more about is the information and thought process that M$ used to arrive at the decision that their current model would be the best offering for their customers.

Neither hardware giant is stupid, and dismissing the final offering as just 'dumb' gets us nowhere and learns us nothing.

If you haven't seen it yet, Tecknik found a great post on Reddit outlining some of the benefits of a paid Playstation Plus membership here.
I'd like to find a similar summarization of Xbone service features for comparison. Has any media source done that homework yet?

Our Constitution and our right to privacy as Americans require as much." - Senator Obama 2006
