It's actually the exact opposite for me. In high school we used calculators for everything. In college, I'm not allowed to use one at all. I believe the idea is that a lot of modern calculators can do even fairly advanced calculus for you, so if they just let you use that, you haven't really learned how to do the…

Maybe it's a cup they give me to drink out of? But if it's my cup, I would much rather recycle it than throw it away.

But I just bought a Blu-Ray player so I could finally start watching all my good movies again after selling my PS3 months ago :(

They are also, for the record, offering steep discounts on a bunch of other gaming stuff. Picked up the G930 headset for $89.99. It was a dollar more than wired, so why not? It's awesome, by the way.

Um, duh. This is why we should stop giving trophies to the losing teams.

Bought a counterfeit copy of Pokemon Platinum on eBay. It looked alright online, but the labelvon the cartridge was kinda crappy. Saving took forever. Ebay got my money back.

Obviously it's a Tardis. Bigger on the inside.

There was a game (Unreal Tournament?) that let you play PS3 vs PC. Or you could play mouse and keyboard on the PS3. I dunno how that played out, but I will say a controller is much better in racing games. Trying to drive with a mouse and keyboard sucks.

I don't think I have ever had a hard drive (in my desktop that doesn't move) last more than two years. I switched to all SSD now, so hopefully that helps.

If by lazy you mean took a lot of time and effort to recompose an old song so that it seemed familiar without being instantly identifiable, then yes, I guess it was.

From the employee standpoint, I will tell you that nice customers absolutely get better deals. A lot of haggling goes on where I work, and if someone is being a dick about it, I will get stubborn and refuse to give them any discount. If you're nice about it, I'll help you out. If you're really nice the whole time and…

My T-Mobile service is great everywhere in Northern Virginia.

Bush was consistent about Iraq. Doesn't make it a good idea. Just sayin'.

I was going to say, you guys realize you can buy basically disposable ponchos for like $1 at Target, right? Why would you use a trash bag when a poncho will cover you and your gear?

I have never been a completionist, but I do like to finish the main story of games. Though I often don't. I restarted FFVII at least 5 times before I finally got through it, and the same goes for Zelda for NES and SNES, neither of which I have finished. I always get stuck somewhere and leave it, then forget what I was…

Wow, you really didn't mention anything the Wii U does, much of which is being copied (and improved upon) by the Xbox One. Netflix two-screen experience on the Wii U is stellar, though I wish it supported 5.1 audio (that is Netflix's fault, though). It also has the TVii channel that acts as a complete TV guide telling…

I was really looking forward to the sharing thing. While I could do without the 24-hour check-ins, I do wish they would have waited this out a little longer. I went to GameStop today to trade in my PS3 and they told me I can't reserve an Xbox One because all their reserves are spoken for. But they still had PS4…

I didn't get one because I have every other system and the Wii hasn't been used in probably a year. I'm not even sure it's still plugged in. I suppose I should finish Skyward Sword one of these days.

I find that just about everything qualifies for Prime shipping, but all this talk about saving money on shipping is BS. If I wasn't paying for Prime, I would do free Super Saver shipping, which only takes a couple more days anyway, and then I would be paying nothing for shipping. As for video selection, I am inclined…

Why have we decided to use GIFs for everything lately? They are extremely irritating when I am trying to actually read the article.
