Yeah, it really depends on the housing market where you live. For our location, it’s a no brainer, even with taxes and insurance. I pay about $850 for the mortgage (includes escrow), and I’d be paying at least $1200 if renting a similar home in the same neighborhood. Upkeep is a factor, but even if it was on the order…

Hey Kirk, I have the FreeSync version of this monitor, the XF270HU (http://www.amazon.com/Acer-XF270HU-2…) and while it’s the monitor I’ve always wanted, I can’t get past the awful IPS glow in dark games/scenes. Have you noticed this on the XB270HU?

I disagree with this assessment, and find it to be way too harsh on an excellent expansion to Beyond Earth. I agree that BE is not up to the standard of Civ V + 2 expansions, and neither is Rising Tide, but it just moved MUCH closer. Base BE was quickly bland and boring; Rising Tide has given the game a lot of variety…

Isn't Batman haunted by the murder of his parents? Isn't that the entire reason he becomes Batman?

How is Civilization: Beyond Earth not on this list?? Hands down, the best video game soundtrack of the year.

Anyone else getting a "unable to add the voucher" message when trying to pre-purchase NBA 2k15 from greenmangaming? Voucher seems to work with the other pre-purchase titles, but not NBA 2k15....

Because religion would have nothing to do with laws. Stealing would be wrong because of property laws, not because a religion says it is. Same with murder and rape. The standard would be not negatively affecting or harming someone else. Beyond that, you are free to do what you want. Abortion would fall under the…

I believe the line is drawn at physically harming someone else or the threat of imminent physical harm. (Property laws would also be enforced- you can't just walk up and steal someone's couch from their home.) So, for example, there would be no problem with forcing people to not murder or rape, since that would be…

Very true. Setting aside some money to give to a charity of your choice is also an essential part of Dave Ramsey's debt plan. At first it seems counter-intuitive, but his reasoning is sound.

I think they want people to do that of their own volition. Conservatives aren't out there rushing to shut down charities and stop people from helping others. (Unless you view the U.S. Government as a charity, then, well, you're right.) I think they want a world where people help others voluntarily, according to their…

On the contrary, I found tithing to be an enormously helpful tool in learning to budget finances. From a very early age I was taught about setting aside 10% for tithing. Doing something like that instills in you an almost innate sense of the value of money and the importance of allocating and budgeting for certain…

I think that's where I got it from. They've always worked well for me, and their prices are often the best around. And yeah, Brave New World is freaking insane! SOOOO good!

That sucks....I bought it for half price last week....

.....it's exactly the kind of question it appears to be? Rougeau is not a very common name, especially in the US, so I wondered if he may possibly have been from somewhere in Louisiana, where I'm from.

Haha, I'm from Louisiana, born and raised. Some Rougeau's from France immigrated here a few hundred years ago, and we're still here today! :)

Mike, where are you from? We have the same name.

Ah yes, if you don't have interest in the multiplayer, then I can understand your hesitation. For me, that was the main selling point: the resurrection of the multiplayer community for Age 2.

You feel buyer's remorse for buying an all time classic game that is picked up and updated/brought into modern times with constant patches and support and integrated into the best digital distribution platform currently in existence, thereby ushering in tons of new players, almost 14 years after its initial release? I…

Wait, the dragons aren't real??
