    Tech It Had To Happen: The Frozen C-Section Game

    This is just sad. I am still stunned to find out how lame and disturbing people can be. How much time did this take? How did they think of it? Who taught them how to code apps? The expression "if they had only used their power for good" comes to mind. I feel sorry for them, and any kids who may...

    What are you guys watching right now?

    We just finished the last episode of Psych. I really love that show and can watch it over and over. We also love Grimm, White Collar, and Leverage. I might give The Librarians a try, seeing as Christian Kane is in it and was so good in Leverage. I really like shows with a bit of sci-fi and...

    New 3DS, But Only If You Are The Chosen One

    That new DS looks so sweet! I would just love to be one of the lucky ones. That's not going to happen, but it surely would be so awesome. I am going to check out more info on it- backwards compatibility, announced new features, new games, even the battery life. The self-correcting 3-D sounds...

    It Looks Like The Last Of Us 2 Is Happening

    The popularity of the game combined with that ending make a sequel almost a forgone conclusion. I am fairly certain that Naughty Dog promised that there wouldn't be a sequel- to get us to be open to all endings, maybe? But the sequel is a go, apparently. As the other poster said, the bar has...

    Books Books that you have failed to finish

    This thread reminds me that I never finished "My Antonia" by Willa Cather. I met someone with that name, and she said she was named after that book. When I got the e-book for free, I thought I would find out why it's considered a classic. It reminds me of "Little House on the Prairie," but not...

    Tech what do you do with that old pc

    It only seems right to give old tech away to someone who can use it. An old PC that doesn't cut it any more due to speed limitations or new software demands would still be perfect for someone who only uses the web or does light word processing. I have found that some people can afford new tech...

    Tech Custom built PC vs pre-built

    The OP asked which we prefer in the way of a PC- custom or off-the-shelf. The answer largely depends on the intended use. If the PC is bought primarily for office work, I would say I would want off-the-shelf, and I would make sure the PC came with Office bundled in with the price. If the...

    Video game being addictive

    Video games can absolutely become addictive, and a great deal of whether they will or won't pull someone in depends more on the person, I think. It's worth a look at who was addicted to what recreation before there were video games, and see if there is a personality type that is more...

    General Discussion Now that Christmas is over....

    It does seem to be depressing, now that you mention it. It's as if we were in denial about how bleak and stark winter is by getting ready for Christmas, but now, we have to face it. The decorations are going to come down, and the mess of entertaining is left. I would sure like to forget all of...

    General Discussion Beards- is it time to shave?

    To answer the question- please shave! I have never liked facial hair, and although I admire the down-home values of the latest famous beard-wearers, it does look ratty. Not to mention aging a person- my cousin is now sporting a beard, according to the picture he just posted on FB. He is several...

    Tech Mac vs. PC?

    Macs win it for the GUI and the solid hardware/software interaction. It's just less frustrating, overall, to use a Mac (do not say the letters "DLL" to me!) But....(and this is kinda important), Apple products are really pricey and it's hard to justify the extra money if one doesn't do...
