    Simpsons Tapped Out

    People looking in the game source filed have found a couple upcoming events. There is a water expansion that will add 10-15 new buildings, a bunch of characters and new decorations and allow you to buy the land that is currently blocked off next to the water. There is also a Camp Krusty event...

    Can someone explain this Bitcoin foolishness to me?

    A crash in a low float, unregulated, basically experimental asset that had gone completely parabolic over the past few months? Who could have predicted that? The ideas behind bitcoin are interesting on several levels but anyone actually trading this stuff at this point in time is just asking...

    DOW Jones - Another "All time high" closing!

    First of all stock prices are not determined by profits. Profit is just one measure of many that is used to determine a fair value for a company's stock. In the end, it is simple supply and demand. If you have more buyers than sellers for a stock, regardless of the profits of the company, the...

    Anyone with experience building/using a home theater PC?

    I've got several thousand Blu-ray, DVD, CD's that get passed around the house and I'm just tired of having the discs passed around and keeping them all accessible. I would like to build a home theater PC that could basically just be stored in the basement and networked to the TV's and computers...

    Tips for buying a New Car....

    The single biggest factor in what discount, if any, you can get on a new car is the market you are shopping in. Does the dealer have a 10 day supply of autos or a 70 day supply? How many other dealers of that brand are in the area that they are competing with? If the dealer has tight supply...

    $12.99 "Simpsons World The Ultimate Episode Guide" bn.com

    Great price for an awesome simpsons book that both hardcore and casual fans will enjoy. I got mine for $15 last summer from a local B&N. Sure I would have never even considered paying $100+ for this but for $10-$20 this book is a steal.

    CAG Car Thread!

    Very nice. I actually looked at the CTSV sedan before getting the ISF a few years back. Got some track time in the sedan last summer. The engine is just a monster. I got the MDX because it left me room in the budget for a new pure weekend sports car but that won't come until next summer...

    Upgrading phone at Best Buy

    I believe so but just a heads up, my wife recently upgraded her phone at Best Buy and we checked BB's trade in price for her old phone vs Amazon and Amazon gave $15 extra for her old phone. BB trade in prices seem to be pretty low.

    Dark Knight Rises Limited Edition BR Combo Pack out December 4th

    Looking forward to picking up this movie but I have no interest in any of the worthless "limited edition" crap.

    2012 Election Thread

    It could also be due to the idea that the heavily manipulated recovery in the stock market has not been the result of Obama's policies but that of good old Uncle Ben and the Federal Reserve. The same policies that have juiced the stock market to 5 year highs and that were "supposed" to aid in...

    Official "The Dark Knight Rises" Thread - Now Out on Blu-Ray/DVD

    If I remember correctly, his back wasn't broken in the movie like it was the comic books. They gave some other injury about a vertebra being out of place or something, not the same type of back injury Bane gave him in the comics.

    Official "The Dark Knight Rises" Thread - Now Out on Blu-Ray/DVD

    Really enjoyed the movie. Some small things I would have changed but nothing major. I would have loved to see some reference to the Joker since you would think he would out roaming the streets as well. I knew it was not going to happen but it would have been cool to see a Joker smile tagged...

    Comic Book Discussion Thread (Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, Top Cow, IDW, Indy, etc)

    What's up with the Mile High Comics hate? I've been out of comics for quite a while, about 20 years or so, and am just starting to get back into them. Mile High was always my primary purchasing point, back when they had a store at Buckingham Mall. I was actually planning on taking a trip out...

    Investing after school

    Not going to go into a tremendous amount of detail at this point but basically the younger you are, the more risk you should be taking. It really doesn't take a lot of effort to put together a portfolio that beats the market, historical market average is 8% including dividends. Max out the...

    Official Prometheus Discussion Thread!!

    Maybe one of them had herpes. Man + woman + herpes + black goo = giant squid. While I did enjoy the movie overall, I wonder what could have been. It really seems like this movie was intended to be either A.) a prequel to Alien or B.) a new attempt at a sci-fri franchise, but somewhere in...

    DC turning Promiment Male Superhero Gay in June

    No way it will be Batman. Stunts like this are all about generating buzz. The Batman books are selling really well since the re-launch and the new movie is just around the corner, the franchise doesn't need any additional buzz. It will be some second tier character that no one really cared...

    Anybody interested in the new tv series Revolution?

    Looks cool but being on NBC, where many, many shows of this basic genre have tried and failed miserably, I will be very surprised to see it last a full season.

    AVENGERS 2: Age of Ultron (5/1/15) - Final Trailer

    Depends on the movie. Studios have expectations for each region so it is possible for a movie to be a failure in one region but a success in another. There are a ton of variables that must be taken into account but it basically boils down to the costs associated with development, distribution...
