I work for a major league baseball team. I get paid to go to baseball games and give my opinions on baseball players. Beyond that, my employer is incredible with great benefits. Wake me up when this dream is over.

Quick question: If you are one of the people who has a comment that in whole is something on the level of "I don't like/agree with what Anita says, but this kind of thing is wrong.", what is the point of the first part of the sentence at this time? Is it so important to identify yourself as somebody who doesn't like feminism before you say threatening to shoot up a place is wrong? Even if that's the case I find it very strange that one feels the need to say that before saying this is completely fucked up on every level.

I really don't know what the GG side is other than bumper sticker level statements about "social justice warriors" and something about not being an Nvidia Shield Tablet or something. Also something about sex. If you could find a spokesperson who doesn't make this about an individual woman, doesn't couch themselves in fascist rhetoric, or doesn't talk about journalistic integrity while also displaying an eighth grade understanding of what journalism and ethics are, maybe somebody will actually listen.

@likeassur: She never says it's exclusive to women, she simply says it's a frequent tactic. She doesn't say she's the only one at all. Maybe the world would be a better place if as a whole people who don't like her prioritized shutting down some of the incredible bullshit both she and others are experiencing due to a hateful mob mentality before nitpicking word usage and time stamping videos like they found some ah-ha moment.

If you are on this page, I've added you.

I'm starting this over the weekend.

Can I add friends now or do I do it through the game?

Thanks guys, I had no idea on the sound stuff. If it WORKS, I'm all for it, but I had no idea if it was just a rip off. I have this priced down to around $1150 right now, but I'm going to wait for another month or so as I'll be out of town for spring training stuff all of March. That's what portables (and Bravely Default) is for. Thanks again for the input. It's made me feel much better about my research.

That build is from CyberPower. They were mentioned in one of the stickies here, and I've customized at quite a few places and they seem to win on price (though I'm certainly open to other suggestions). $1200 is a solid price point for me, but I'm flexible if there is an upgrade that is really worth it. Thanks!

My biggest question is on the GPU. I'm trying to build a living room PC (converting from a console gamer), so I'll never be playing at a resolution higher than 1920x1080. Does that change how I should think about graphics cards?

All this thing is for really, is playing games on the television. Sure, there might be some web browsing and youtube-ing, but that shouldn't change the spec out.

Also, is the noise reduction technology worth it? Anyone have experience with that?

Also, PLEASE don't tell me to build it myself. I have massive respect for those that do, but I don't trust myself to do it, nor do I really have the time. I understand I'll have to pay a little more, but I'm happy to, and the warranty/support provides me some piece of mind as well.

Thanks GB community, you are the best.

Thanks for all the advice folks. I've been looking at some of the CyberPower stuff as that seemed to be a big recommend in the main thread. Sound proofing is something I've definitely been looking into. As far as hooking up a 360 controller (I've always been a PSx guy, so excuse the ignorance), do I need some sort of bluetooth interface somewhere?
