    New A7x album

    I'll be the first to admit that I was a bit skeptical of how this album would turn out. After I heard Nightmare, I thought to myself "oh god, here comes a bitter memoir to Rev in the key of typical mainstream watered down A7x." But with Portnoy behind the kit for this album, I still had hope...

    Overpopulation of Bambi in my area

    Several years ago, the state of Ohio had to extend hunting season due to an overpopulation of deer frolicking around. Industrialization and the constant need for more housing/developing, especially in Cleveland suburbs, is doing a number on the wildife out here. Even areas that were once...

    Need help with an old school Winchester/Sears shotgun

    I recently inherited a Sears Roebuck Model 200 and I'll admit that shotguns are the only firearms I really don't know anything about. Anyways, it was pretty old and gummed up, so I gave it a good cleaning and went over it and everything looks good. I do know that Winchester made...

    Windows 7 OEM vs Retail

    I've had my Macbook for a couple years now and I absolutely love it. Only drawback is that I need Outlook and obviously don't have it, so I'm stuck with the old bucket of bolts downstairs in the office. Instead of buying Microsoft Office for OSX, I've been kicking around the idea of...

    Let me get this straight....Brock Lesnar on the cover of UFC 2010?

    The guy who missed several months last year due to an intestinal illness (rumored to be long-term effects of steroid use ahemWWEcough) and is still a long way from coming back somehow got put on the cover? I mean they said he lost an insane amount of weight, something like 40+ lbs, and they...

    Looking for new DD. ~$15,000

    A customer of ours and a family friend told me today that he wanted to buy my car for his nephew. It has a buyback title so I planned on not being able to sell it and driving it into the ground. Well, if he's ok with the title and we can agree on money then I'm gonna be in the market for a new...

    Question about one of the guns in Shooter

    I don't recall if you can see the scope, but in the opening scene when he's shooting the R700, what scope does he use? Is it the same scope they put on scout sniper rifles? I wanna say Schmidt and Bender but I'm not positive. Also, I was watching the extras on the DVD and they employed the...

    Let's keep this civilized. Is PS3 catching up to Xbox?

    I was never really a Sony console fan. I didn't own a PS1 and only owned a PS2 briefly. I was always an xbox whore. Had the original since launch and the 360 since launch. That said, I'm strongly considering buying a PS3. Until this point I found them very inferior but I think Sony is...

    Time to eat the humble pie. iphone coming to Big Red.

    I'll be honest. I had the iphone briefly and I really did like it. However, I HATED AT&T. Therefore, I was kinda salty and hated on the phone. I guess I'm gonna cut myself a big ole slice of humble pie because I'm sure I'll end up buying a Verizon iphone. Official announcement expected...

    Hi-Fi guys/audiophiles get in here!

    I wanna get start building a budget hi-fi stereo system but I'm not sure which route I want to take. I don't have any vinyl so a turntable won't be necessary. As far as receivers, Onkyo/Macintosh/Yamaha/etc should all have something capable in a good price range. Where I get lost are the...

    Audiophiles, I need your help

    I have an older 7.1 Gigaworks computer speaker system that I got a while ago for my gaming rig. I have since gotten rid of that machine and have been using laptops since. I really only wanna use em to play music in my room. I can hook em up via a m/m 3.5mm cable but it only plays as 2.1. I...

    Couple pistol/ccw questions for you guys

    I've been wanting to go to my CCW for a while now but there's a couple things I wanna figure out first. 1. I don't wear hunting vests or jackets everywhere I go. Unless it's really cold I don't wear any sort of overgarment. When you guys carry, esp in the summer time, how do you conceal...

    Would I be a ricer for replacing worn out stock seats with racing seats on a DD?

    My car only has 30,000 miles on it but for some reason there's a good amount of cracking on the bolsters. I've always cleaned em with leather conditioner but for some reason they just dried out and are getting kinda bad. I have the porno red interior with red seats and red inserts on the...

    Wanna find a snowmobile. Not sure where to look.

    Just looking for a used 440 efi or something comparable to play around with this winter. Cycletrader's powersports section, ebay and craigslist netted me next to nothing. Even no search limits on the prices didn't help. Ideas? :shrug:

    Creed performing on Conan

    Just watched em play Overcome. I have to say, it was very strange. Scott looked completely different with the locks chopped off an he looked like he was on coke or something. Vocals were kinda weird, too. There was also a 5th member playing guitar but their website only mentions 4 members...

    I figured out what my Browns need! (and probably others too)

    So obviously we've had some troubles since coming back into the league. I think I found the formula to getting a team out of the shitter. It involves the Belichick tree. The Jets were a decent team with Mangini, but when he left they brought it Rex Ryan who's a fiery and enthusiastic...

    More cell phone threads! Verizon finally gets it

    So it's been no secret that up until the Android announcement Verizon's phone selection has been less than stellar. I mean the Blackberry 8830 wasn't replaced until just a few months ago. Anyways, they finally get it. Verizon to aim for the smartphone crown « Boy Genius Report

    Borderlands anyone?

    Found something to get hooked on while waiting for MW2 to release. I literally haven't been able to put it down. I bought it on Thursday and have already logged just over 20 hours of playing time. Anyone else get down?

    Floyd Rose experts come hither!

    Just got my first guitar with a Floyd Rose. Pretty happy with it so far. The only thing I can't figure out is the whammy bar. When a guy like Joe Satriani, for lack of a better term, pulls on it, it makes this crazy squeal. I gave it a whirl earlier and I didn't get close to that. The...

    Who knows their Schecters?

    So I'm pretty new to the brand. Just picked up a Damien 6 FR the other day. Great guitar. No complaints. I'm now confused about some of their different models, though. More specifically the difference between the Damien 6 and the C-1 series (non-Hellraiser) The two guitars are vastly...

    Not sure if I got ripped off on optics for my AR

    I went to a local shop today looking for a quad rail and ammo for my AR. I mentioned optics since mine is a flat top. I mentioned how costly eotech/trij/aimpoint optics are and he said he had a scope for $150. It's a red/green crosshair sight. Red magnifies to 4x and green to 3x. Also has...

    Finally part of the AR club. Pics inside

    I went to the shop today expecting to walk out with a GSG-5 carbine. After holding it it felt kinda cheap and I didn't like the way it fit in my hands. The guy mentioned that they have AR15s on sale this month so he got my attention. Ended up walking out with a 16" CMMG flat top. Out the...

    Looking to update my current sig. Any Call of Duty fans?

    I've changed my playing style since this last one was made and I would like to add something to it. Same layout but I would like "Headquarters" at the top, the gun changed to an MP5, and the perks to go 3x Stun Stopping Power Martyrdom Also I'd prefer the font get changed to...
