    also this is not an all out nice build, it's not like dual graphics cards and shit

    there aren't really many applications that make good use of those sorts of configurations right now anyways. your rig will run pretty much everything you want it to at the resolutions and detail that you want it to

    like, you'd think that a big-ass SLI water-cooled rig would be futureproof, but it's almost certain that in 3 years your computer will seem kind of shitty to you for some other reason.

    like, do you remember that dude at PAX who had put together that monster PC with 4 gfx cards and all those fans and the starcraft lady airbrushed onto the case?

    and i was like "hey show off your pc" and he started talking about this gigahurtz and that megaflops

    so i was like "okay let's see what it could do"

    and he loaded up starcraft 2. because he hadn't even thought to put on any software that would show off his rig's capabilities.

    because it really wasn't the point for him

    starcraft 2 looked as good as it did on my mac tho!

    The only game that used all my new computer's power (that I actually wanted to play) was Skyrim plus ridiculous mods. It was kind of a let down. I mean, everything else boots faster and runs smoother but it wasn't magical like it was 10 years ago, where buying a new PC meant unlocking a whole new class of games.

    well for me it probably will be

    I liked prometheus.

    So did I - people were so hyped up for the next coming of scifi horror jesus that they missed the perfectly good movie right in front of them.

    it had the thing that can make me enjoy anything - it was gorgeous

    and I really liked the way the proto-aliens worked

    and you probably know which scene had me literally shaking going oh my god this is an awesome scene noomi rapace is awesome this is badass.

    prometheus was all style no substance

    I think it hit a lot of interesting points but only superficially.

    Like, "What if we're just the cosmic playthings of a much more advanced alien race," and then "...and what if they're dicks?" But then it just never did anything with that. And in fairness, the movie wasn't just pretty -- it was really, really, ridiculously pretty.

    Eh. It was amazing, fantastic style with a light dusting of substance at best.

    But it was an aural and visual feast with very clever design.

    That can be enough for me if I know that coming in.

    A 29-year-old man is in jail for allegedly threatening a group of teens with a knife after the teens were using his car’s reflective windows as mirrors to admire their muscles.

    was he in the car???

    He threatened to kill teenagers if they touched his car, does it matter?

    Yeah, I'm imagining him in the car, like, checking his email or something... and suddenly he looks up and there's a bunch of kids flexing at him and making faces...

    People say Prometheus left too much unanswered but honestly I feel it would have been a movie if even less was shown/detailed explicitly
