  1. Agreed. "Fee to pay" is a stupid concept. It is somewhat defendable if it's in a 20$ game, but not I paid premium price. +1
  2. You can get a decent 256GB Mushkin for $80 on Newegg... (or a 240GB with better performance for the same price) You can get a pair of 120GB Mushkin ECO2 SSDs for $50 apiece and free shipping. (my recommended) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226678 Larger capacities are cheaper per GB, so always look for the largest capacity you can afford. Just use them as standard data drives, nothing installed on them. Put the source video that you intend to edit on one drive, and set the output from the editor to the other drive. As for guides, I never did video editing myself, so have no firsthand experience with the process. Try searching for forums that deal specifically with video editing, and go from there.
  3. I would definitely recommend starting by getting at least a pair of SSDs. (1 for reading the original footage from, and the other for writing the edited video to) DO NOT get TLC based SSDs. The best for this usage scenario would be Synchronous MLC, (usually about 25-50% extra on the pricetag over Asynchronous) but Asynchronous MLC should be fine. (the most common consumer NAND type) If you want to go for the absolute best, get SLC, and pay between 10x & 20x for the same storage space. (if you can even find the stuff, it's rather rare nowadays) Also, I highly recommend the Mushkin brand. (they have a long history of extremely high reliability memory and SSD products, and have some of the best quality control in the world) After that, I would actually suggest looking into whether or not the software you're using is capable of utilizing your GPU's hardware transcoding capabilities, and if it doesn't, look into getting a program that does. (this can reduce a 2 hour conversion down to as little as 30 minutes in some situations, if you have a decent dedicated GPU) The best can use both the GPU and CPU at the same time. (there are also free audio transcoding programs out there that can use this, and usually halves [or better] the time required for conversion of audio) Next, I would recommend switching to an Intel platform, simply because you can get native DDR4 support, and overall much better performance on average. Go for 5th gen processors though, not the 4th gen that you were considering. (the 5th gen has some small updates to the commands it uses, which improve video processing significantly) If you really want to get the best video editing rig possible, you'll need to tell me your budget, and then I can make a theoretical build for you.
  4. Star Trek Online.
  5. The question is so incredibly vague as to leave me with no possible answer. It may not seem vague to you, but I need a LOT more information than just what CPU you're moving away from to determine what is an ideal CPU for your needs and means. The difference is around a 95% performance increase on multithreaded processing. (the i7's are essentially hyperthreaded versions of the i5) Would you mind telling what you intend to do with your system, and what your budget is? (that way I can give you an appropriate answer)
  6. You can throw humor into serious discussions... It's doesn't stop being a serious discussion just because there is humor. Levity breaks are a standard practice of the best serious orators.
  7. Starcraft 2 vs any AI is incredibly easy... Just build defensively until you can steamroll their base. (quick strikes are only useful against the lower difficulty AIs) The original Starcraft has a mod available for the AI that takes it out to the 'almost cheating' levels of difficulty, you might want to give that a try sometime.
  8. Fallout Shelter on the PC... Much more fun than the phone version.
  9. Also, don't be afraid to use capitalization, and proper grammar... They won't get you made fun of here.
  10. Might want to give turn-based strategy a go... I'll have to look the names up again, but there were some from the 90's that made 'instant death if you move wrong' look like godmode. Also, have you ever tried something like NetHack?
  11. Why apologize? I think of that song every time I say "I am a pirate". lol And this one as well: XaWU1CmrJNc
  12. Surreal is pretty common for most religious art, I agree... But then again, most of what's being dealt with in the art tends to be 'surreal'. (who wouldn't think that crucifying someone after beating him almost to death just because a crowd was paid off by a couple assholes wasn't surreal?)
  13. It was in a church that was converted to a shrine dedicated to St. John Paul II in Poland... Unfortunately, I never did get the name of the place memorized. No, I was not solo, this was a part of the Neocatechumenal Way, (don't bother looking it up online, the internet doesn't know shit about it; it's basically a return to doing many things the way the early Christians did, back when it was illegal to be a Christian almost everywhere) and there were 300 people from Colorado in my group. You saw the picture with the pond and the 4 gravestones in front? That pond still holds some of the ashes of the people that died there. Ashes used to cover the entire place like a thick snow. And that trench full of stagnant water... That was where they piled the bodies before incineration.
  14. https://goo.gl/photos/9Sadzc3WHhfomC2j7 Plenty of pics in there of me, and lots more of everything I saw/did on my WYD trip. Here's some videos as well: https://drive.google.com/open?id=12pnswlqrDngKyT8yxog6tQkNqpbq3u8uqg https://drive.google.com/open?id=1YDpCnQuKmzB8_ghr8nMY_A1OXBy70jJ9DA (this one is what Polish style windows are like, and explains why Ross wouldn't be able to do a window-mount AC unit easilly)
  15. SPV3. (Halo 1, with better graphics)
  16. I don't recall his name. He wasn't teaching highschool, he was doing a small 'class' for local Catholic teens while he was in the area, (I can't remember why he was there) so I joined in. He even had an interesting experience with an accidental exorcism: He and a priest friend were walking down the street in (I think) Rome, when they passed a music store that had a lot of decidedly satanic cover art plastered up in the windows. The priest, without thinking, said a prayer to get rid of the demons of the place, and they both continued on to their destination, a restaurant. When the waitress was in the process of serving the apologist, her hand shot out to the pitcher of water behind her, and upturned it over the priest's head. She didn't have any control of it. There are consequences for exorcising when you weren't invited to. When we met for the 'class', it was always outside in a park, and we always seemed to find a really nice shaded area with comfortable seating. (hard to do in central Phoenix area)
  17. Doesn't mean you can't get it...
  18. What about Simba? I want to play as him.
  19. "And you shouldn't leave before seeing both 'Airplane!' movies!"
  20. Would be better in the FFA section, as this appears to be about the Youtuber, not games themselves.
  21. Give Age of Mythology a try.
  22. Well, if it drops in price, I might get it... Otherwise, no D&D 3.5 session. :`(
  23. Then again, I was also homeschooled from the end of 3rd grade... Got old college books for learning stuff. That was quite the fun learning method. (self teaching) It was in a Catholic home, so I still got a lot of the Catholic teachings. (and even for a year in highschool got a nice course with one of the world's top Catholic apologists, that was really fun)
  24. Is there a free version? If there is, I'd be happy to join in on a D&D 3.5 event...
