Frankenstein’s misunderstood monster creation knew it!

I always had hand-me-down beds since I was a little kid, they worked but it wasn’t until I bought a nice foam queen mattress (I think it was around $2100) in my mid 30's that I realized I’d been sleeping on horrible beds my whole life and getting horrible sleep because of it. I’ve had my mattress now for about 7 years…

It’s an interesting design (I’m a fan of the NUC’s as quite media centers for the living room) as it seems to fall between having many of the specs of a laptop while having some of the features of a full blown PC while managing to be nearly double the price of either. I think most people will end up skipping on this…

So jealous of the people who have easy access to an Alamo Draft House theater.  When I was in college in Phoenix, AZ there was a theater that showed movies that had been out for 4-6 months and were just about to get released to the rental chains (this was the early aughts).  They had great food you could order and…

I used to only go to 4 or 5 movies a year, there’s just some movies where you want the spectacle of a massive screen for all the special effects and massive sound system that almost knocks you out of the seat when the bass hits and a crowd that gasps or awwws during the dramatic parts. Still, those movies are few and…

I once had a friend that was super into math explain it to me as this.  Each year of your life is 1 year out of the total years you’ve existed.  Each year a smaller sliver of your total experience at ten years old one year is a 10th of your life experience so far.  At 40 that year is 1/40th of your entire life…

Built a SFF HTPC a few years ago, best decision ever. It became my always on machine that houses a couple Virtual Servers 20TB of storage and still plays games pretty darned well with a controller while kicked back on the couch. Super nerded last weekend a friend/co-worker brought over his gaming laptop hooked it up…

Maybe I haven’t had the right egg nog. I’ve tried the store bought stuff a few times and a few friends concoctions they’ve made. In the end it always seems like a weird watered down pancake mix I’m drinking. As to the a few of the other comments on here my friend who loves the ‘nog says the only way to drink it is…

Old consoles go to the closet, and then after a few years I go through all the stuff in that box buried in the corner of the closet. My last consoles were almost all hacked to be media consoles, my original Xbox was hacked with XBMC and was a really great media player for nearly a decade before media players became…

Visited my cousins in California as a young kid back in the early 80's, they had a Vectrix and I was amazed by what it could do.

I don’t know if I can still drink enough beer to make that game fun again. I know at one point someone was selling a Golden Tee Trackball and the base of the trackball hasd power and HDMI out to plug it into your TV. While I dearly love arcade cabinets I’ll probably never live in a space large enough to have the room…

I believe it’s time to kick out the jams.

Which timeline are you from friend? This timeline hasn’t gotten WoW on consoles yet (at least not in any official form). Although we did get Phantasy Star MMO and Final Fantasy 11 & 14 MMO’s on consoles, oh yeah and DCUO. I’m still trying to find the timeline where Lineage 2 ended up being the king of MMO’s and is in…

Oh god, I followed that link and looked into the void for a moment. I had some weird flashbacks of being four and in a radio shack with my dad trying to buy a crappy PC.

that’s why we have 3D printers... 

LOL or a pair of C’s... that’s a battery I haven’t seen in a long while.

Hands down Xbox 360, I went through 5 Xboxes with the Red Ring of Death eventually after the 5th one (the replacements only lasted 1-3 months before RRoD’ing) they said my warranty had run out. I argued they never fixed the issue and were only sending me broken boxes because they hadn’t gotten a decent fix yet and…

Atari 2600 Spider-Man was not good, even by early 1980 standards. When Neversoft got their hands on the Spider-Man franchise in the late 90's(?) they showed us how amazing it could be.

For low power devices it’s great. If you don’t mind chiclet style keyboards Logitech makes a fantastic solar powered keyboard that can pull power from lights in the room to power it. It looks a lot like the old solar powered calculators. It has large solar panel strip that runs along the entire top of the keyboard…

at this point whatever it takes to bring the people together.
