  1. Thing is Windows 10 has so much potential.. like I like the 8.1 OS by itself more than Android, but the support is literally killing me sometimes lol. Thing I don't like about Android is that all of the flagship devices are literally the same tbh. Also after a while all of the Android phones I had started to get real sluggish in its last year
  2. I'll probably be able to afford one of these babies maaaaybeeee... 10 years down the line.. Maybe.
  3. I will probably either have another phone with 10 already on it, or Be back on android lol. We'll see
  4. there are a lot of features missing in those youtube apps though. the main issue that I have is that they don't let you connect to your smart tv app so that you can search from your phone.. Twitter app desperately needs an upgrade, and definitely are behind when it comes to having better utility apps
  5. please tell me this means I can transfer my music through wifi and watch videos from my pc..
  6. As a Lumia Icon user that just got the WP8.1 update today, I can say the only thing that Windows Phone needs now is MORE APPS. There were a ton of good apps like 6snap (that got taken down because its not an official snapchat app... but it was waaaaaaay ahead of snapchat anyway), but we desperately need a native Youtube and tumblr app. Most of the other apps like Twitter and Facebook take AGES to get updates. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that Windows 10 release fixes these problems somehow with dev support
  7. The level of immaturity on the forums has always been a turn-off for me.
  8. I've had both XFX and Sapphire graphics cards, and I have to say I liked XFX better. They look nicer, and I've never had a problem with them.
  9. I drank tonight so.. 348 was my average
  10. :lol: I'm going to mark this as the answer just because
  11. lol at least he bought paper when he got out, for his "broken and needing replacement" printer... I hate my job
  12. But he didn't buy anything. I felt like if he really needed to replace his printer that badly, then he'd damn well get it done, and the best way possible. The way he was acting made me feel like he wasn't going to buy one regardless, and he didn't.
  13. I work at Staples and cater to the questions of old people (most are really nice, just a bit ignorant of this stuff), and general business douchebags 24/7. You'd be surprised at the questions you get from working at the Tech department. lol an older woman who brought in her computer for repair was still using Limewire and Windows Vista.. Go figure lol
  14. So I was working at Staples today and a customer was ramming me with questions about our printers. He wanted to know which was best, and was comparing printers that were like from $100 to $300. He wanted a laser printer, and I recommended one that was ~$100 that seemed to do all that he needed. Instead (mind you, he was kind of acting like a dick, and his family were looking at me with the most rude looks you could imagine) he asked about a ~$300 printer that seemed to do the exact same thing, but it's rated at 30,000 max monthly volume instead of 15,000 with the Canon printer... I laid out the main differences, and told him the higher price could possibly be because of the Touch LCD screen & GUI and the max monthly volume that comes with the HP printer, but the features elsewhere are exactly the same. Long story short, he cut me off and asked if there was somebody more knowledgeable about printers... As if I was supposed to be an expert of probably the 40 different printers we carry... So I asked my supervisor if he could help him and he told me, "don't worry about it." So if any of you guys out there are "printer experts" (honestly, if it works, and the page-per-minute and page-per-toner cartridge ratios are good, does it really fucking matter) I would like some pointers. What else should I explain to the customer? I feel like he wasn't going to buy one anyways.
  15. Some of the smartest people in the world attend MIT, and if they say the Patriots did not cheat, then I don't think they cheated.

  16. lol what a stupid rant and a stupid attempt to rationalize Lizard Squad as a good thing
  17. YES! Vice City and Vice City stories had the best soundtrack of all Grand Theft Auto games for sure. No GTA game is as atmospheric, not even close, as the Vice City series.
  18. Indeed! Jeff Van Dyck often creates incredible soundtracks for video games. One of my all-time favorites. Could add Jesper Kyd to that list too
  19. If you are also interested in what made Shogun: Total War so special in my eyes, here are some more features that made this game incredible. They had excellent cutscenes for most actions on the campaign:
  20. While game play by itself can be fun, there is nothing like an excellent soundtrack to keep you immersed through the whole game. Going back through my collection of my favorite games, I immediately realize that they all have one thing in common: A beautiful, rich soundtrack. While choosing your favorite game OST may be difficult, I felt there was no way that a particular game could not be my all-time favorite... And that would be.. SHOGUN: Total War Released on the day of June 13, 2000, this game, designed by The Creative Assembly, had featured not only a new revolutionary way to experience turn-based and real-time strategy games, but have included in my mind, the most colorful, cultured, and powerful soundtracks composed by the legendary Jeff van Dyck. Set in the era of Sengoku Jidai ("the Warring States period" or "Age of the Country at War" 1467-1603) and with its expansion, the Mongolian Invasion (1274-1281), Shogun: Total War allowed PC players to take-on both the beautiful and destructive aspects of the Samurai-dominant eras of Japan. You can find the OST for Shogun: Total War on youtube: What is your favorite video game OST(s)? And why?
  21. It amazes me how we can be ridiculed for stuff like this when it's happening in their own backyard
  22. When you had to find drivers yourself on Windows 98se off of a Windows 98se disk or installation... When Centipede was AAA When floppies were 5.25" and only held 360kb lol
