    Captain America alley comic

    Anyone have the captain america comic of him beating up kids in the alley? It’s from probably 20 years ago, he comes out of a dumpster, kids try to run away, looks like it was made in Poser. Googled several different things, but I think the MCU has muddled the results.

    Have a gaming desktop, should I get a gaming laptop?

    The HTC Vive thread I made earlier convinced me to at least wait for 2nd gen, so now I have another question. I've got about $1500 to spend and was considering getting a gaming laptop. I spend 1 night a week and every other weekend with my girlfriend, and nothing good to game on except an...

    HTC Vive - Worth it?

    Was thinking about picking it up from Newegg with the $100 discount as an early Christmas present. I've got enough room and the computer to run it. Anyone have it? Do you still use it? Buyer's remorse?

    Ping Pong paddle recommendations

    I'm not a regular player, but I enjoy it a lot and want to get something at least decent. Definitely more interested in spin and control over speed. I don't want to spend more than $100, and this seems to be a good one for the price: Amazon.com : Killerspin JET700 Table Tennis Paddle : Table...

    I'm in the market for a new monitor as my old Sony 23in with a 16ms response rate is just not cutting it. Right now I'm thinking of getting a single one of these: Amazon.com: ASUS MX279H 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor: Computers & Accessories Or getting two of these...

    Justin Cronin's The Passage was good, but forgettable

    I was talking about this with my girlfriend earlier and for about 5 minutes she was like "Okay that sounds good, I'll try it." Then when I showed her the book she said, "Oh, wow, I've actually already read it." Most of the characters I've already forgotten, I can sorta remember Wolgast, Peter...

    PS3 dead? Help?

    Playing Dark Souls yesterday, no problems, no history of lockups or freezing, no weird sound glitches. Suddenly, I heard the fan turn up a notch, then my TV went black, the PS3 beeped 3 times quickly, green light went red and started flashing. Left it unplugged over night, turned it on this...

    Dance With Dragons discussion thread?

    Wasn't there a Dance with Dragons discussion thread? I've searched, used the archives up to 5000 threads back, can't find anything. Did this thread exist? I don't read any other message boards really, don't think I'm confusing it with anything else.

    Mass Effect 2 - Direct2Drive or Steam?

    I'm looking to buy and play this tonight, but I'm not sure which is better to use. The reason I ask is Mass Effect 1 ran like ass when using Steam. I've heard the Direct2Drive stuff might run better? Anyone know? Or know which version might be better in principle or any other good reason?

    Baldur's Gate on GOG.com - Worth it?

    Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga - GOG.com I played it way back in high school, the combat and the 1.7GB size was overwhelming for my caffeine addled brain and 13GB hard drive so I uninstalled. Now over 10 years later, an assload more patience, and a 1TB hard drive, I'm feeling the itch for an...

    Closed casket viewing

    Just got back from one. Girl I graduated high school with, she was valedictorian, suicide by gunshot. Funeral is tomorrow. I've been to nearly two dozen funerals in my life and never had a funeral affect me like this, I'm still in a weird state of shock. All I could do was make bad jokes about...
