  1. I don't always think it's the content of the game but how the people playing the game tend to act and talk. I refuse to have chat on while I play most online games because I don't want to hear a bunch of 10 year old's talk in a manner that would make even the most haggard sailor blush. JUST MY OPINION
  2. I want to move all the ad's over to our smart phones to make them easier to look at while in stores
  3. My wife just discovered them last week she will be happy

    Headphones

    I have a few brands I use, I think you need to figure out which type, in ear, on ear or over ear. After that decide on what price point you want to be in. You're going to get people who will swear by some name brands and others that will tell you they are junk and that goes from the lower end to the expensive stuff. Beats are decent on build quality but tend to be better for music with heavy bass. Bose all I can say is if you like how they sound go for it I have a pair of their over ear noise cancelling and I love them for plane rides but I don't expect studio quality sound out of them if you can get a great deal go for it, one thing I can say I love about Bose is their trade in policy for headphones. I traded in my first gen noise cancelling for one of their newer models and only paid $100 and at that point I had the old ones for in excess of 7 years and they needed new foam on the ear pieces which is why I had called them to begin with. I REALLY like Bang & Olufsen but they tend to get very expensive and I'm not sure I've seen sales on them. Personally I think sound is a very personal thing and what may sound great to me may sound like cats screeching and kids banging on garbage cans to another and vice versa. Pick your price range, look at what fit's that range and take a look at whats in that range for reviews and then look for those on sale. Most younger people I know like beats as much of the music now tends to fit into that heavy bass range. Sorry for the long winded post
  5. I'm WAY older than 8 and I like playing the Lego games with my daughter and wife lol.

    We don't eat the dark meat much either but the whole bird tastes different to me lol. I know it's probably mental but hey I'm just sayin.

    Holiday Menu

    Sounds like our house growing up. Place was packed top to bottom with family and friends at the holidays. Those were the good days.
  10. A lot of them around me are 24 hours I think they are open all but 1 day a year. I haven't seen their holiday hours go up yet though.
  11. New Egg is also a good place for parts. I'm sure MicroCenter will have a good add out if you have one in your area.
  12. I was thinking about the $1 phone and the Slow Cooker (would be good for our tailgating dips) but it's Turkey day and I say no mas.

    I really like his methods and recipe's in general, I've just always found wet brining to be scary for novice cooks so I went with the tried and true lol. I normally fry our turkey after injecting it with a homemade injection sauce before it goes in. This year I'm going to try smoking it and see how that comes out. I pray for my guests, one because it's my first time doing a turkey this way, two because I will have to be up looking at ad's all night and waiting for things to go online and I will also be going out to start the turkey REALLY early so I may be cranky. That topped with I will have to watch my Lions get destroyed on TV yet again this season.

    Wow I COMPLETELY forgot Pumpkin Pie Turkey is fairly easy to make. Preheat your oven to 325. Make sure the turkey is completely thawed, open it up and make sire you get all the giblets and neck and such out of it. I usually rinse it out well then pat it all dry. I usually put a little olive oil on the skin sprinkle with some salt and pepper inside and out. Put it in a shallow roasting pan (if you use the aluminum disposable ones I suggest a cookie sheet under for stability) breast side up. Roast it until the thickest part of the breast is about 165 degrees and the thigh is about 180. Usually about 2/3 rds of the way into cooking I cover it loosely with foil so that the skin doesn't get overdone. I've also seen people put the foil on for the first hour or so then pull it, whichever works for you. The time in the over will depend on the size of the bird. Once you pull it from the oven let it sit for 10-15 minutes for the juices to pull back in then carve it up.

    Should be about 15-20 people here for dinner.
  17. Ya it was like 75 here yesterday. Not the kind of weather that makes me think fall lol. I got new Christmas Lighting computer all setup and got the relays working. Now I just have to build the receptacle's and get it all put in a weatherproof box and I should be ready to start putting up the lights and having the show ready. I grabbed a few of the Trans Siberian Orchestra songs now I just need to find some more songs to have it play. I need them in MP3 format. Any suggestions for songs people would like to hear and see in a Christmas light display?

  19. It's what I do. I bought the Xbox One as a bundle and to be honest haven't even downloaded the 3 games that came with it.
  20. In my experience I prefer physical media. I guess I'm old school. When the consoles do away with them I think I will be a console person no more. I like media I can sell, trade, lend to family/friends. I also like the fact that the HUGE game (code and art) isn't sitting there hogging up my drive space when I'm not playing it. I tend to play games in cycles I won't touch one for a long time then I will go back months later and start playing it. As for the game being there no it's usually a DL you have to make after you spend hours waiting for the console to update to the latest firmware/os versions
  21. I shop with my wife and sometimes we bring others. This year my sister and her hubby are supposed to go with us but not sure if that will happen or not.
