    The Division 2

    I tried doing the Dark Zone opener mission last night, have no idea what they mean by scouting it. Didn't matter tho, as I got stuck in the environment (between a fence and a shipping container) with 3 gold enemies about 2 feet away. That would have been a quick death if they could have seen...

    The Division 2

    I tried to unlock the clans last night, wasn't paying attention, and ended up doing the SHD mission instead. Was too late to do the museum, so I'll have to unlock tonight. That's what I get for running around looking at stuff and getting caches instead of paying attention lol. Also got my...

    The Division 2

    Turned off the Logitech Surround bit, got audio for the most part. It still goes in and out every 20 - 30 seconds or so, but at least I get my audio cues again (which helps a lot). Gonna try and get clans opened up tonight after work (along w/ some more levels. L3 is nice and all, but I want...

    Very, very big case.

    Well, if you're looking for a VERY big case, you could always get what I got, a Thermaltake Core X9 E-ATX (I got mine from Amazon in 2016). It's 19.8" x 15" x 25.2" (and about 37.5 lbs unloaded), but you'll have room for days. You can also get more/different drive cages and other accessories...

    "Conviction": District 9's Neill Blomkamp Releases Live-Action Anthem Prequel Trailer

    If this were for a movie, I'd definitely be interested in seeing it. After watching this though, I have no idea if I'd want to play the game. I didn't know anything about it before watching, absolutely the same amount after watching.

    A Picture I Took 2018 - 2019

    Here's a couple of pics I took in Australia with my Note 8. I really don't have much of a clue about photography, but I kinda like these. El-Alamein Memorial Fountain in Kings Cross, Potts Point Sydney Sydney Opera House on a nice rainy and windy AF day (all of the trash cans there were...

    The Mystery of "What Box?" Solved With AR

    Pretty neat if it actually works. I've been shipping (and receiving) on and off for the past 30ish years, so I am fairly good at doing this, but most of the people at work could definitely use this.

    72% of Windows 10 Users use Cortana Less than Once a Month

    Personally, if it were possible to use Cortana less than never, I would do that. Since I can't figure out how to do that, I'll stick with never having used it (in fact, 99.999% of the time the microphone on my headphones is muted, so I couldn't talk to it if I wanted to) and most likely not...

    [ebook] The Way of Kings - Free

    Yes, he is. Robert Jordan was also publishing other books at the same time as the WoT series. I started WoT in 1996, and after catching up, I had to re-read every book in the ~2 years between WoT publishing, all the way up until Sanderson finished it. I'm not complaining TOO much about it...

    [ebook] The Way of Kings - Free

    I have the big honkin (tm) paper book on my shelf. Good read, but he is channeling his inner Robert Jordan by writing a series that seems will go on forever, and taking about as much time in delivering the next one. With that said, I think I'll get this so that when book three FINALLY comes...

    One Bitcoin Now Worth More than One Ounce of Gold

    So, since bitcoin is "virtually worthless", then why did Newegg take some of my bitcoins and give me (read: sold to me) both my i7-6900 and GTX 1080? Physical goods purchased at a legitimate, legal seller, bought mostly with bitcoin (only about $200 USD for the processor and another $200-250...

    EVGA iCX Technology Examined On The GeForce GTX 1080 FTW2

    Just got an email from EVGA saying my new card is shipping today, so I should have it on Monday. I've been using an RX 480 8GB card in the interim (either that or a GTX750 lol), and now I have to have windows magnifier open constantly so I actually have a mouse pointer, instead of an...

    Ad-blocking Mistake, Blocking an Important Site

    One thing you could try is to make a backup of the block list, reset it to default, go to the site and do what you originally did that brought on this problem. Then you can see, with a clean slate, what was actually blocked. Just a thought I had this morning while getting ready to go for my...

    Lucky Draw - SilverStone ST80F-TI 800W Power Supply

    Using one? Yes, my cell phone (OnePlus 3T) Getting one? I am thinking of getting a DAS box, something along the lines of the Drobo 5c. That way I can move our NAS appliance out of my room and I can get all my personal stuff off of it and onto the DAS. That'll free up room for more of the...

    EVGA iCX Technology Examined On The GeForce GTX 1080 FTW2

    Just got my email confirmation about upgrading. I think I'll do it, so that I can be eligible for the step-up program if/when the Ti comes out. Email below.

    PowerColor RED DEVIL Radeon RX 480 8GB $200 after $20MIR

    I ordered one on 2/9 with their 12 hour 5% off coupon, paid $208.99 oop. It came in today and I have it in my secondary rig chuggin along. Gonna send in the rebate form tomorrow, so I'll (hopefully) get another $20 back. That being said, it's a beast, and a bit noisy with the fans ramped up...

    Why Are Physical Software Sales Still a Thing?

    I still prefer to get some things on disc. I've bought programs online, only to need to reinstall later (at least 8-10 months), and lo and behold, I can't download/activate or whatever. Hasn't happened that often, but it's happened enough. Plus, at work, we had bought 13ish copies of Office...

    EVGA iCX Technology Examined On The GeForce GTX 1080 FTW2

    I just applied for my 1080 (EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING ACX 3.0). I was thinking the same thing about the step up program and the (hopefully soon to be released) Ti. If nothing else, it (shouldn't) hurt to get a refreshed card hopefully.

    AMD Radeon RX 480 and Mining

    I'm using a 380 for ethereum/sia coin mining atm, and wouldn't mind getting a 480x to replace it. Just built the system in my sig this past weekend, and bitcoin mining (asic) and ethereum (380) paid for the i7 6900.

    What's the oldest videogame you still play?

    I picked up the later Ultima's (7+ again) on GoG this last sale, so I got out my old copy of Ultima 3. I first played that game on an Atari 800XL, or maybe it was on the upgrade from that computer, the 65SE (I think, that was in the mid 80s). I got that again sometime in the 90s and still go...

    Freakishly Lame Microsoft Recruiting Letter of the Day

    44 here. Understood what they said, saddened that there seems to be people who talk / think like this. Oh well, just getting to be an old fart I guess. I can sort of see why they sent this, as I remember being pretty stupid at this age (in hindsight). Did some really stupid things at that...

    Car Vent Phone Magnet $4 Prime Shipping Code

    Well, drive went fine. Just have to make sure to turn the clip the correct way... one way the clips are a bit farther apart, and it fell off my vent. The other way they are closer together and it held on all the way back home. I just don't like the closeness of my vent to the radio... makes...

    Car Vent Phone Magnet $4 Prime Shipping Code

    Just got this out of the mailbox. The metal plate that goes inside the case sorta holds it, so I decided to try it on the outside of the case. That works much better. I was about to go try it out in the car, when I decided to try out the wireless charging. With either of the plate stickers...

    Windows 10 Blu-Ray playback

    Personally I'm still using Corel WinDVD Pro 11 that I bought a few years ago. I only use it to watch DVD/BR movies, and I don't use ANY of the other functionality of the software. It seems to work fine, and Corel is still pushing out the key updates to play newer movies.

    What kind of Newegg bullshit is this?

    This happened all day to me on Friday, until finally I was able to get an eVga one. I would have liked to have gotten the Asus Strix one, but I just wanted to get one and have the hassle of all of this over with. Gotta say, it sure is better than my old 980.

    ASUS GeForce GTX 950 Graphics Card, Dual-Fan Cooling - $99.99 AR ($30) - Frys.com

    Gonna get a couple of these for work. We have some software that can utilize CUDA for a couple of our printers, and not having to upgrade the PSU's on our Dells will make my boss happy. Nice deal, thanks.

    $100 for 12-month premier membership plus a $100 Newegg.com credit , but you need groupon

    I got one before the promo code ($100) with no problems, and then a second one with the promo code (and I'm getting $15 back via Fatwallet ($9 from first, $6 from second). Picked up an i3 Skylake NUC to play with :D

    $100 for 12-month premier membership plus a $100 Newegg.com credit , but you need groupon

    Can't say as I've ever heard that one before. I have had a groupon account for several years now (bought a grand total of 4 groupons in those years), and have had no problem. I'd do a bit of googling if I were you. Maybe you can get some info out there.

    $100 for 12-month premier membership plus a $100 Newegg.com credit , but you need groupon

    I got the $100 version of this. Took about 10-12 hours to get the codes, but I wasn't in any real hurry. You have 90 days to use the Premier code, and the gift voucher never expires (from the voucher below). I have already used about $50 of the $100 gift code getting a couple Noctua PWM fans...
