I love Newegg so much. If I could buy groceries from them I would. My last 5 systems were 100% Newegg purchases.

Nothing infuriates me more than a cockroach Survivor. So I +1 this.

Here's my switchroom. Not pretty, but it works It could be worse...

Since my new TV has this built in, I'm selling my old one. Figured I'd post here before I ebay it. Its a WD Media player that plays AVI, MP3 files on your TV. I used it all the time to play ripped DVDs. Simple to use and hook up. Uses a USB thumb drive or portable usb HDD to store videos. Its Standard Def (red/white/yellow RCA hook up) and will not decode H.264 or mkv files. Only AVI, divx. And the manual said it had YPbPr cables but it did not. Just R/W/Y. Here's a link to the manual: http://www.wdc.com/w...4779-705033.pdf $25. excerpt: Supports an extensive list of file formats Enjoy playback of a wide variety of DVD-quality file formats including RealVideo without the need to transcode. Supported file formats include AVI (Xvid, MPEG1/2/4), MPG/MPEG, VOB, MP4/MOV (MPEG4), RM or RMVB 8/9/10 for video, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP and PNG for photo viewing, MP3, WAV/PCM/LPCM, WMA, AAC, FLAC, MKA, OGG and APE for audio playback, plus subtitle formats of SRT, SSA, SUB and SMI.[/font]

lol, I didn't know they made a WoW Monopoly. Neet. Oh, and Mouse Trap FTW.

No, I just didn't take off the plastic wrap until I got it moved upstairs. Samsung borders fingerprint like a boss. And the gubment makes all manufacturers put an EnergySaver decal on TVs now. As if I'm going to buy a TV based on how much energy it users on a 5hr a day average. Just more useless government intrusion. oh, and it was $13 a year based on 5hr usage a day if you were wondering. Which I hope you weren't.

Mybad: Those may not show up due to folder permissions. That's just where I tested it before it went above the mantle in the living room. 40" due to the size of the hole it had to fit in.

So I've been holding out on HD until it no longer costs more than SD to get. That time finally came. So we shopped around and finally settled on a Samsung LN40D550. Now, I was thinking we just bought a TV but once I unpacked it, I found out I was wrong. It had no "smart" frills... No streaming client such as Netflix or Hulu. So I was surprised when I found a RJ45 port on the back. So I decided WTH, and plugged it into my network. After playing with the settings, I hit the "Content" button on the remote, mainly because I had no idea what it would do and its primary human nature to press buttons when we don't know what they do. It then proceeded to list all my AVI, MP3, MKV, MP4, and JPG files from all my shared folders. "Wow" I thought. Figuring it would only decode MP3 and show JPG files, I went for it and clicked a 1080p MKV movie file. IT PLAYED IT. With no flicker, no sound issues, and in perfect 1080 goodness. So now my entire library is one click away on my remote. No more having to copy to a USB stick and using my WD Media Player (which couldn't run H.264 or MKV files). And the sad part about this is that I would have bought this thing INSTANTLY had the label or the salesperson mentioned that it was also a media decoder. But nowhere was there any mention of this capability. It listed it as having Allshare and at the time I didn't know that Allshare was Samsung's way of saying DNLA. Why they don't just say, "Hey, this thing has DNLA!!!" is beyond me. I already had DNLA on my media server for my tablets and smart phones. Luckily, I designed this house so it has CAT5e run to every room with a switch room in the basement.

I've recently been playing Super Mario Galaxy and while pretty easy, its also really fun. I haven't got to any point yet where I've lost more than 2 lives on one spot. Super Mario Wii is fun and as difficult as part 3 I'd say. Unless you do multi-player. Then you can expect to lose friends and you better know a good divorce attorney.

Actually on topic: Can we do away with the 3-line "Light" explanation at the end of the round? That is to say, if it hasn't already been removed.

The stuck command is kind of snarky. I got tank pwnd and had to use it. Then I died while it was "checking" and it came back with some smart comment.

I must have missed something. What NM3 exploit are you referring about? The one where everyone agrees to run left and 3 run right and get incapped while everyone one else is already outside the Burger Tank?

I feel the same way after every Pearl Jam album released since Ten.

Wow... Bitter much? Tell me how ya really feel

I know old thread is old, but I just pulled the trigger on a Gigabyte 560 Ti. So now I can pwn u nubes in style. forgot the linkies: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125401 Yes, Gigabyte. I've never had any issues with anything they've made. I've been running their Ultra Durable 3 Mobos for years now with no lock ups, freezes, or crashes. They've earned my trust.

Nice. And what mods are you using? I love your UI.

Get you one of those cool laser eye things like the Borg have.

I agree with Cake. Sometimes map changes are the ONLY way a scramble can even pass.

As opposed to every other map? /burn
