Teaspoon83

Although I get moving to other keys like ESDF to open up more keys, I grew up using WASD since Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament and it just clicks. All the years of muscle memory and knowing that I can reach which keys with which fingers makes it difficult to learn a new layout.

Look forward to seeing you on the GB server!

The HTC One if an amazingly good phone and my only worries owning it is the current situation HTC in is at the moment. The HTC One was their Hail Mary of a phone to get business moving again and although it has been successful, HTC is still losing money quarter after quarter. I have no idea if this could possibly slow down the phone from getting updates or what happens if the phone needs to be sent in for repair but I guess that is a possibility.

The Galaxy S4 in my opinion is a nice phone but the features didn't really do much to make it better than the S3 and apparently if you like to root and tinker with your phone, Samsung hasn't been too helpful there.

I can't recommend going Apple if you have been in the Android ecosystem for 3 years. All the apps you purchased are gone, you have to find something similar and realistically, Apple has slowly been trying to catch up to Android's features with each OS update.

... and I have 187, the account is valued over $2k, and I know I don't even compare to others on my friends list. And this is only Steam. I still have my GoG account and my consoles. First step of an addiction is admitting you have an addiction right?

Steam knows exactly what it is doing and reaching the age bracket where you end up having a larger increase of cash coming in yet your time and energy are dedicated to work, life's responsibilities and perhaps a social life, it is a perfect storm. At this point, I have told myself to wait for Steam Summer and Winter Sales and even then, only buy games that reach the 75% discount. I have waaaaaay to much invested and haven't finished many games. Played about 50 percent of them, but need to finish them.

Although you chose to play your Steam game list alphabetically, might I recommend Steam Completionist to help you on your way. Awesome website to track what you are playing, finished and for those who don't know where to start, it can select random games to help you decide.

My first computer was a Gateway and I tore apart and rebuilt it over and over, messed with the OS, formatted and reinstalled, over and over and in the end, it looks scary and intimidating but you can't really screw up as long as you make sure everything is compatible with each other. That and make sure everything goes in the proper direction.

I too would recommend going online for your parts as you'll get a bigger bang for your buck. A visit to Reddit's Build a PC for Me is another great area to stop by where the redditors will have you get the parts together.

Little story about why it is worth it. I got a brand new HTC Sensation and I loved that phone. Rooted, custom rom, awesome. I about a month later had fostered a dog because I wanted to see how the family would do with a dog in the house. Things are great, phone and dog. Now, one night, I was looking at phone cases. I thought maybe I should invest in one. I saw it, saw the price and figured.... Nah, I'll be fine.

Next day, I kid you not, going to walk the dog. Excited to go for her walk, she jumps into me and bumps my phone out of my hand. Lands right on the corner, SMASH. It hit the lower right corner and the glass on the screen was destroyed. The screen still worked luckily but maybe the case could have protected it. I don't know but in the end, I had to go back to the default RUU, take off root and pay $150 for a new phone. Isn't that awesome?

It might not look purty or sleek, but if it can save you money, just get the case.

You know what else isn't fair, the ending to Half Life 2 : Episode 2. You know how long I've waited to do some revenge? But it also makes Half Life 3 so much more important for me when it comes out. George R. R. Martin really likes killing characters off because it makes a the story great. This isn't your typical fantasy kingdom where the heroes win. There are the moments where it will break your heart. Keep watching though. I've read the books and it is worth still watching. Good unexpected things will happen.

I can't wait for PA to do subs so you can see the third panel of every comic. Come on people.

It's been said, let people pay if they want to pay, don't worry about it if you don't. Why get mad about it?

Lot of you already subscribe to Giant Bomb and why do you do it? Because you support the guys for all the great work they do. I don't care about removing ads. Giant Bomb supplies me with great content and it is my way of saying thank you so why not help pay the bills and somehow buy the guys a beer.

Remember when the podcast was going to be subscriber only, free a week later and everybody bitched about it, calling them greedy and a goal was needed to keep the podcast free for everybody? No? Well that happened.

Different website but a website with a strong fan base willing to pay for what is their entertainment so let PA do it. Instead of a goal why not consider the base $10 a subscription to 20 podcast. How is this any different to what you pay for GB at $5 a month for their premium content? Lots of people are paying the $55 level which sounds a lot like the annual sub here to get neat content. How is this different? Come on people, don't get upset and try to demand others to join you on your crusade.

Let me repeat again, pay if you want to, don't if you don't but get upset over things that really matter in your life.

Why stay away from improvement? If it was strictly a "Metro" UI, completely understandable because it doesn't work without a touch interface but it isn't. Don't touch the Metro side of it and go to the desktop because it's W7 but quicker. For the initial price, Win8 is a nice step up. Some kinks when it comes to gaming and giving it to a person who doesn't know what they changed is painful but learn the small changes and it is overall, a good OS.
