Haha, I guess I'll push off the cpu upgrade for now I guess 😛. 970 or 960, here I come along with a new keyboard.

I'm anxiously awaiting GTX 960 reviews before I make my next GPU purchase.

Happy new year! Anyways, I figured out the triple monitor gaming thing and this 2gb 7770 runs games surprisingly well! (tried out jc2 and bf3 at medium settings at around 40-50fps with 30ish drops. Not great but good. Btw running at 5280x1050

Happy new year, also i thought skylake was the stepping stone to DDR4?

 

[Mirakledba]

Happy new year, guys! 😀 Hopefully this year is great for all of us.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! The DDR5 thing was a joke, pretty sure it will be DDR4.

Yes I definitely hope so! I'll be playing Civ V and Civ: Beyond Earth to recover from last night's hangover. :lol:

Glad someone else had a good time. A rough morning is always a sign of a good night. I ate Ritz crackers for breakfast this morning and checked out Neverwinter. :lol:

Happy New Year!
I'm eying a couple of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178392 for $110 with a promo code. This weekend I need to install FC4 and give it a shot...

That is true, I went and saw Kevin Smith's podcast at the Improv last night. Drank a little too much Dale's Pale Ale. :lol:

I woke up so damn late and with a raging headache, and I didn't drink anything BUT water. The headache went away in 5 minutes, then I spent a lot of time playing Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. So much fun with so many weird glitches and weapons. Still waiting for a few grand to drop out of the sky and waste it on either a car or a better PC. Probably the car at this point...

 

[Onus]

Hmmm, potential good news. I'm generally very careful with money, so I can be lax about actually balancing my checkbook, but it looks like I may have missed at least one deposit somewhere. Once I find it, this could be an upgrade...

Tiny - Putting cheese on the ritz would have been perfect...while watching Top gear and drinking root beer.....I should do that. Lol

Onus - Thats a great price!

 

[tiny voices]

Actually, I am lactose intolerant. I know.....it sucks. :lol:

 

[Onus]

TV, have you tried Acidophiles milk?
Way back in 1980 when I got a load off my mind, I'd been given some antibiotics that killed the good bacteria in my gut as well as the grrnasties in my bloodstream. A bowl of mint-chocolate-chip ice cream gave me horrendous cramps and enough gas to heat the house. Since I had paid attention to my treatment, I realized the likely cause, and switched to this type of milk for a few weeks. My gut was "reseeded," and the problem went away. You may wish to try that, or some other probiotic supplement.

In other excellent news, there is a definite upgrade of some kind in my near future. I just discovered I was paid my share of a cost-savings bonus that is built into the contract I'm on. A GTX970 is a definite possibility.

 

[tiny voices]

I do take probiotics and they help, but what does the most good for me is taking a lactase enzyme tablet before I eat anything with dairy in it. This allows me to eat pizza and other baked cheeses with little to no discomfort, but things like milk, yogurt, ice cream are still off the table. Lactose free ice cream is pretty good though.

 

[Onus]

Hmmm, oh well. You must have a very unfriendly gut, if the "good guys" can't seem to exist in there.

 

[tiny voices]

Yeah, I have had the test done. I just don't produce the enzyme. My good Vs. bad bacteria ratio is perfect. The human species is evolving to be less lactose tolerant over time, so I'm just ahead of the curve :lol:.

I definitely want to get Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. I've been trying to get it off Steam while it's 1/2 off but they've been experiencing site overload lately.

MY GF and I are currently playing through Boarderlands the Pre-Sequel on the Xbox.

I've been hooked on FC4 this holiday break. Pretty fun game, I was a big fan of FC3 and its very similar with some nice additions. So naturally I like it.

Argh, back to the full $60 price. Guess I'll have to wait for the next sale. :lol:

I should go finish Bioshock: Infinite now that I've got the White Knight back to full strength.

With a certain scholarship, I can get a job straight of of college if I agree to work for them and take certain cyber security classes. Of you could be like my acquaintance who was interviewed for the government job in college.

Same, I'm on the Xbox, I got it for around 40 bucks(sale) with the Slaughter Shock Drop Pit thing. Did the campaign all the way up to RK5(no corrosives 🙁) and started again as claptrap. Just for pirate mode lmao.
