    Tiby got a reaction from lol1290 in Do you think Violent Games= Violent People?   
    There were violent games in the past (Doom, Quake, Duke, Blood .. to name a few), some with foul language everywhere but I didn't hear any violent attitude from them.
    Truth is the age we started playing them (at release date) was much higher than today and this probably is the main problem here. 
    Kids are more influenced from what they see and the level of shitty designed games nowadays with no real story behind just stuff like: run from the ghost or he will get you or shoot everyone in sight because you get power-ups do have an impact on their attitude.
    Heard so many cases of The Slender man group or Call of Duty "militia" that is not even funny.

    The magic mouse.. Still surprises me how many people want it.. First one got as a gift, sold it a week after and the next ones were bought / received on occasions. At some point I can make a living just by selling these things.  :huh:
    Just no ... Even a cheap 5$ mouse from ebay has better tracking than the magical thingy mouse from Apple...

    Tiby got a reaction from mr moose in Are the people at HP high....?   
    Well you do get what you paid for, and in this case is for the company name. 
    HP is still doing very well in the corporate environment where not everybody is technical literate and the IT department is so much overloaded with other stuff that building workstations (mind you not one but hundreds) is simply not possible.
    Even some of my friends run far away from the ideea of "let me help you build your computer" because they simply want something that just runs without them touching anything. 
    If something goes bad they simply return it and order something new.
    To each with its own.

    This is truly quote of the week....
     
    Honestly I can't imagine ordering a $1000+ or so headphones blindly, without knowing how they sound, how are the built, etc, myself. Well, perhaps if my income is $10.000 a week, I'd do just that....

    Tiby got a reaction from Cheko7811 in New Platform Launch Feedback & FAQ   
    Vessel is just starting up and is backed by Amazon and Hulu (with big budgets behind to support this). Still the quality can't be on par with youtube becasue of Google's sheer server backend power that is massive. 
    Like Linus said, it's not that he is leaving youtube, it's just that those that are willing to pay a subscription to see content earlier will do so.
    Now there are some problems Linus that I hope you can discuss with Vessel developers:
    1. Vessel is not mobile friendly for the moment and they don't have support for TV display (as far as I am aware).
    2. There are countries where ISPs block their add service or treat it as malware. This will just scare off potential viewers
    3  I'm not sure of the prices here because there are many services that handle this (Twitch, Patrion, etc .. ). Youtubers did this for a couple of years and I don't think most of youtube subscribers almost noticed this.
     
    Bottom line is try to thin outside the box and don't forget that there are users worlwide that enjoy your show which currently do have a problem with using Vessel. 
    For those complaining about this, it's pure business guys. You need money for running it (more and more as you grow) and you just need to offer a platform for those users that are willing to pay for your services.

    Can I choose all? 
    You should probably add in this list the Grado's PS1000 and the BeyerDynamic T1's (that are custom made also). All of them sound good and if you've reached this level you should know by now what to expect from them ..

    Yep. The hardest to drive headphone (that's not electrostats) in the market now is the HE-6. 50 ohms, but will make 70% of headphone amps cry a river....

    Genius speakers in this system? Really? You'd be better off with some decent in ear headphones for the same quality. 
    Audio alone this setup is way unbalanced. Graphic wise two Titan X are overkill for 1440p and you'll really push the limits of that PSU.

    Tiby got a reaction from MrGamma195 in Will it work?   
    If you're looking to upgrade in future, then FX is not the best option. I really doubt AMD will release anything more decent than the 8350 (PS the 9x series is just an OC'ed version).
    With Haswell CPU's the story is different. You can now buy an i3/i5 and in future if you want to upgrade you have plenty of options.
    That said, both FX and haswell chips are not bad CPU's by any means.. It's just how you want to make the investment..

    H100i. Bought it for 80 bucks 4 months ago, now you can hardly find it for 130 bucks.
    It's to be expected. Fewer and fewer models will be produced, and the price for them will go up every time.
