a watercooled mini-itx build then? This card would benefit heaps from being on water too, probably

Check out the new Lenovo y60. It seems like a pretty good 'bang for your buck" beasty. It retails for a bit under $2,000 here in Australia, so possibly around $1,500 elsewhere. It's 15.6" full hd screen, quad core i7, 16gigs ram, 960m GPU and an SSD. I'm on the verge of buying one myself. Good luck

I don't get why folks hate on 4k displays in semigaming ultrabooks. People rave about higher than 1080p displays in ultrabooks with integrated graphics, (e.g. the dell xps 13, the carbon x1, pretty much any Asus zenbook) but as soon as you stick a 960m in there (a massive performance boost) everyone goes; "What are you thinking? a 960m can't drive a 4k display!" I get what people are saying, YES a 960m cant run lots of games at 4k. but IMO that's just dumb. MOST DESKTOPS CANT RUN GAMES AT 4K The 4k in these laptops was never intended so that you can run crysis 3 at ultra in 4k. The 4k is there because it looks amazing for everything else, because believe it or not, people use computers for things other than just games 4k also has the bonus over 3k or QHD displays that you can run games at the reasonable mobile gaming resolution of 1080p whilst maintaining a crisp look that's often unachievable when running at non native resolutions due to the fact that it scales by the nice even integer multiple of 2. Sorry to go full rant on you. It's not you in particular that I'm ranting at, it's just a general theme which I've seen in a lot of comments here and in Linus's video which has continued to irk me. tl;dr IDK why >1080p resolutions are praised in ultrabooks with integrated graphics, and ridiculed in laptops which actually have some graphical horsepower. it seems incongruous. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Featured Build Logs Competition #003 - Submission Thread
Higgl3 replied to Whaler_99's topic in Build Logs
Forum ID: Higgl3 Build Title: Roadside Junk in a Box Thread URL: JunkinaBox Description: I found a decent PC in a pile of trash by the side of the road ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so I took it home and it worked ¯\(°_°)/¯. chucked in some new component and made a cheap case out of wood It's not some baller watercooled build, but it was fun to make! -
That says it all in my opinion. the game looked better 2 years ago, before consoles existed. That's not how it's supposed to work. things are meant to get better, not worse.

The thing is, it's called Christianity. A Christian is someone who follows the example of Christ, who is only in the new (2nd) testament. What Jesus Christ said to do was to "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to those who hate you" (Matthew 5:44), "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:39) which is certainly not what the maker of this game is doing. How then can people call him a Christian when he is directly contradicting the definition of Christianity? People often generalise "the Bible" as a single book of Christian values, when in fact, it is a collection of 66 works written over a span of thousands of years by various authors. some are collections of poems, some are letters, some are stories, some historical accounts. What you call "picking and choosing religious parts" I call reading the different books of the bible in the context in which they make sense. it doesn't make sense to read a here-say historical account of what someone did a thousand years before the birth of Jesus as strict guide on how to live your life. It does however make sense to read them to give some historical context to what Jesus says in the new testament and how his teachings contrast with what was previously seen as right. I get what you're saying, it seem people just pick and choose the bits of the bible that suit their own ends. For Christians what matters is what Christ says and the rest is useful context. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I dunno. what do you think?

Hey, just had a thought. Wouldn't it be cool if they mad4 a phone that was vertically symmetrical. So contextual on screen front buttons and a uni that rotates fully with the phone. You could have a usb type c port on the top and the bottom and then you really could never get it wrong. Where would be the best place for volume /lock buttons on a phone like that? Anyways, random thought

Seriously, what has everyone got against battle log? I don't get it. You double click on bf4 on your desktop then battlog appears you click on servers and you're good to go. You don't even need to touch the origin thing which just boots itself up in the background. It's super simple if you're browsing the Web and decide you want to have a round of bf4, you just hit a bookmarked link to the server browser and you're INSTANTLY there. I don't get why people would prefer to have to go back to the desktop and open a standalone app to get to that point a lot slower? And yes you can play the single player offline (although if you're playing bf4 for the single player you're missing the point) I can't wait for battlefront and I sincerely hope it uses battlelog as it's a very convenient way of doing things.
