    I finally finished my new system. Intel i7 3770k CPU Intel Extreme DZ77GAL-70k board Dual Intel 520 series 120GB SSDs in RAID 0 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws X RAM Nvidia GTX 560ti graphics (card from old system, upgrading eventually) 1TB Seagate Barricuda for internal storage In-Win Dragon Rider full case I also tossed in a bluray drive for giggles since I needed a new SATA disc drive and it was cheap. I plan on running a 3 dispaly setup once I get a new video card. I'll be upgrading the PSU when I get the new card. Looking into the Evga FTW Edition GTX 670 with 4GB on board as it's only a $35 difference in most cases VS the 2GB version. I have to say that using a new board with visual BIOS is fantastic. It made setup incredibly easy. First power on to Windows being installed was roughly 15 minutes. There are a few better boards out there but for what I paid for the board and CPU combo, I can't complain or really have beaten it. With Christmas right around the corner, I am hoping to pick up Farcry 3, Black Ops 2 and Guild Wars 2 and finally be able to play them. Been limping along in BF3 for awhile now. Just thought I'd share. =)

    With those specs a new video card would fix all your problems with those games. Like mike was saying, the 660ti is on sale in a lot of different places and worth the extra coin. Adding another 295 would be like a bandaid on a GSW and 50-70% of your new card money.

    Still a better love story than Twilight.

    Such a good movie.

    Didn't someone post a side by side of that Mechabatman next to the Iron Man armor it looks to be ripped from? I thought I saw it here but can't find it now.

    As long as the cleaner is ammonia free, it should be fine. Compressed air is perfect for the keyboard.

    The new Asus G55s are available now. 15.6" form factor. The new models were slimmed down quite a bit over last years. Running a 3rd gen i7 with a 660M. Just under $1400. I'd be very wary of IBuypower. My buddy, at my behest =(, ordered one of them through Best Buy. The first one came riddled with problems stemming from the video card and a bad OS install. Ultimately stopped booting up about 3 hours out of the box. Returned it, reordered. The second one is now having the same video card issues the first had. I'm going to take it into work tomorrow and see if we can't swap out the video card and solve the problem but so far I'm not impressed with what that company (ibuy) has to offer. I read a bunch of reviews on Newegg about them and cyberpower pc awhile back and a lot of times people were getting DOA systems due to the shoddy and hasty way they were built.

    You can get a Toshiba Portege Ultrabook from Best Buy for around that price in the 13 inch size. The Excite tablet is trash. I haven't seen a single thing compared to ANY other tablet to make it stand out and the skin Toshiba puts on top of Android is a headache.

    That's actually quite brilliant.

    Oh, damn. I didn't even...ugh. SORRY.

    Why is the MK2 there? O.o

    SPOILERS: Interesting read and theory. http://maskofreason....n-the-avengers/

    I enjoyed it. Kept pretty true to the MiB formula.

    The animation is different but I absolutely loved that. I am SUPER excited for more.

    Word.

    95350 Mercurial, you live in Mo Town? =)

    I wasn't meaning to imply the movies were comic mirrors, but if you read the comics all or in part, the movies not only make a lot more sense but also don't get attacked for following the formula.

    I'm curious how much of the comics and back story has actually been read around here.

    Omega, it's a comic book movie. Most of the time, the good guys win. The times they don't are usually in direct relation to real world events, like 9/11. Otherwise it's SOOOO ridiculously off the wall movie wise. House Of M, Age of Apocalypse, Civil War, etc. Those could be done in multiple movies but they also encompass the entire Marvel universe. These movies are also the beginnings of things for these franchises. You didn't see Tony Stark as an alcoholic in the first Iron Man. Hulk hasn't been shot into space by the Illuminati. Also, good job on the spoilers in the middle of your post.

    Some of you guys, I swear. The movie was absolutely fantastic. That's it. Stay after the credits as usual.
  22. Chewie
    That looks really, really nice. Wish the prices weren't skyrocketing with every release. =\

    The only thing that would have made that last scene better was Vader in the pose the trooper had.
  24. Chewie
    Anyone pick up the new comic?
  25. Chewie
    Most digital download copies of games come with the same digital content their SE/CE counter parts do. I wouldn't worry too much on that front.
