    Cutting the Cord

    Thinking of dropping cable and just going to a streaming type box. Amazon FireTV? Roku? Copy of an email sent to my wife laying out pros, cons, and concerns. I hate to say it, but it seems like the Amazon FireTV box is the better system...

    Amazon Video Credit

    What is a good way to get promotional credit for the Amazon Video Store? I see that they have the earlier seasons of the simpsons available.. I need to replace my worn out DVDs, however I don't want to pay $29 for the whole season if I can get away with it.

    Wii and Just Dance

    Lately the kids have been watching numerous Just Dance videos on YouTube. And  I'm foolish enough to believe that if got them the game they'd actually follow the motions and play along. (They have the attention span of gnats.) I -used- to have a Wii but got rid of it over a year ago when I...

    Android Game Suggestions

    I'd really like to find an RPG or  Strategy game that isn't match three or MMO style. (hands off combat) A card battling game would be nice, but the ones I've found like Dark Summoner or that EA Superhero game don't actually require you to battle w/ cards. Everything's just press okay and then...

    3DS Price Drop?

    Does anyone have any inside information or know if there is going to be a price drop on the 3DS (either XL or standard) around E3 time? When the hell is E3 anyway? Anyway, Target has the 3DS XL on sale for $174 this week and I was hesitant about picking it up if it was just going to drop...

    Simpsons Tapped Out

    I know I'm probably late to the party. But is anyone else playing Simpsons Tapped Out on their phone? Would you be willing to share your email/Origin ID with me? Apparently I need to add a few 'friends' in order to progress further. (Or at least a chance to get more donuts)

    Pandora vs Spotify

    Lately I've been doing more listening to music through internet radio on my phone at work. It's easier than chugging 6-8 different CDs with me each day. My tastes are pretty specific, and also pretty obscure. I mostly listen to hard-bop/soul jazz from the 60s and modern creative...

    2013 Failed Games

    There's a completed games thread. We also need one for games you have given up on. January: [Quantum Conundrum] Like the game, and the humor, but some of the puzzles required too much split second timing. On some puzzles if you tossed a box incorrectly you messed up the whole solution and had...

    Books Read 2012

    Well, with three days left I'm going to count this year as done. According to good reads I read 28 books this year. (I didnt even count the three or four that I gave up at half way through.) They weren't all -good- books, and it's still too much "genre" fiction to really appeal to anyone with...

    RPG Thread XVII - Talk of RPGs past.

    We really need one of these, and I didn't see one anywhere else. So, to summarize: Dropped our home phone a few months ago and went just to celluar. Wife already had a phone and since I don't use my phone for much I kept my cheap-o basic AT&T Go Phone. A few months in, and it's not really...
