Edit: Hell with it, $5 is too cheap to pass up! I bought it.

If anyone else gets it, let me know.

Ok, I got it...even though my computer won't run it.

Ummmmm....... Aaaaaaaaa... well..... ummmmmm... huh? i i

Sorry lurch, unsure why you would if you can't play it. I was just teasing you know. Remember these --->> i i
Equals kidding around..

I don't know what to add really except I guess is you will have it for your next upgrade. i i

I just figure out it is cheap enough that even if it sucks it will be worth the $5.

Requires an i5, I have an i3.

Well, I bought it. Been looking at this since it came out, might be fun for a bit.

Yes I know prophet won't buy anything EA. Unsure of Larva or Lexx.

Larva will buy it the moment he sees it. He likes the BF series enough to give it a try for what is essentially change he can find In the couch cushions. Lexx will buy it if he's not otherwise occupied right now, which he well may be, unfortunately.

HALF OFF SALE.


Warhammer: Vermintide DLC on sale until the 24th. If anyone needs to know what DLC I already bought,and thus,we can all play without you guys having to buy it, let me know, I'll log into steam and figure it out. Don't buy any DLC without checking with me to see if we already have it.

[Paladin]

I am REALLY REALLY looking forward to us all playing through Warhammer: Vermintide together.

I already have that content so am good to go. Maybe by my Christmas vacation we will be gaming again.

I have two of the DLC, I believe. if one of us has it, we can all play it together.

You have all the DLC?

We've already played all the content that I have, together. I'd play it again, just reminding you that we're played it. There are DLC packs I have not played - any one the ones I don't own, I have not played.

I'm still waiting on a good sale for Vermintide 2. I'll pick that up when I can.

V-Moda Boompro - $19.99.

https://www.amazon.com/V-MODA-BoomPro-M ... f=ast_p_ep

I had troubles with the Boompro, but I eem to be in the vast minority. I will say that adding a mic to your favorite headphones is pretty damn cool. I have an Antlion mic, and recommend it more, but it's twice the cost of this. Thought someone might be interested, might want to try it.

Here's the obligatory Reddit sale thread:

Dunno if It's short-time, limited offer, but it might be. Might only give away so many half-off discounts. Not sure it's something I want, since the echo has a lot of privacy objections, but if I decide I want it for my car, I'm locked in at half off. Might be very helpful considering I have an ancient car without cool computers and TV screens. No one rides with me, so it won't overhear much of anything, ever.

Options, for the future.

Alexa creeps me out more than the Google one...Alexa being partially funded by the NSA...and always getting caught sending things it shouldn't out.

Yeah Google's product listens all the time too, but they are caught doing bad things less often. Maybe they are just better at it. It HAS been proven that Google uses what the assistants hear for the targeted ads.

[Paladin]

I will never have an Echo or Alexa device in my house.
I KNOW the mics are always on, it has to to activate, and I KNOW they can, and probably do, record your conversations.
I should say I know they record conversations but how long they keep them or who has access to that data is unknown.

Hell my TV remote has the ability to talk to it but I shut that off first thing. It better be off. i i

No I don't like things connected to the internet like cameras or mics. I value my privacy.
Hell I put electric tape over my laptops cameras. Same with my tablets.

Only device I have not done that with is my phone and I should to at least the front camera. I use the back one all the time so can't there.

If a manufacture was smart they would include a physical switch to turn the mic/cameras off.

Easy test you can do, there are several videos on youtube with people doing it. Talk about something specific in the room with your Android phone in the room with you, then do a google search and see if the ads that pop up are about the thing you talked about.

Maggie has had it happen to her a few times and see gets upset about it, be talking on comms with people she's gaming with, then start seeing ads for the things she's been talking about popping up.
