You should pick up Lego City Undercover. It's the GTA clone you never knew you always wanted. As for my recent purchases, I picked up Octodad in the Steam sale. Been waiting for a sale to buy it.

'13 Gibson SG Standard I've tried hard to bond with Les Pauls, but SG's are more to my taste. I like the lighter body, and the tone cuts through the mix better. Got it on blowout for almost half the price of what 2014 models cost.

Okay to continue the guitar talk, I swapped the Gibson Meastro that I got from Best Buy, that wouldn't stay in tune and didn't sit in my lap right when sitting with it to a... Squire Strat SE Which was on clearance as a kit from Best Buy, only cost me 20 exta bux. Last one in the district. So, yeah. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/squier-...22914&cp=1&lp=1 ne:Oh and purchased some songs from steam for Rocksmith 2014 while they are on sale, so there's that as well.

Doom Rooster posted:Use Gameface, and make a fighter that looks EXACTLY like you. It's gotten way better over the years, and when I uploaded mine, it was pretty uncanny. Had tons of issues with this but finally got it working. Thanks. Now I'm horrified by my ridiculously accurate EA doppelganger. Like changing the facial hair looks EXACTLY like my various 1990s experiments. Although I already have two black eyes before I start fighting?! edit: but then "I" look like this when I import it into UFC? I don't get it, the browser one is bang-on besides the eye thing.

Recent purchases - I'm upgrading/automating the brewing process for when I'm at work. SO basically I can throw grains into water, and let it automate and mash until I get home. Also not added here is the gear I bought to build a heat exchange unit, an auto-siphon, and a fuckton of hops from Yakima Valley. BCS-460 Brewery Control System - a microcomputer used to control a brewing setup. Thingy to make a wired only thing wireless - for the BCS460 Temperature sensors Also gears of war 3 because im dumb and sold mine a while ago

A rubber-bristled broom: Both nylon and corn husk brooms are terrible. Hair just collects in them until it randomly decides to drop it in a corner or the floor. And God-forbid trying to use one on an even slightly damp floor, which is pretty loving common in bathrooms and kitchens.

influx. posted:Meh, the 6300 is fine for gaming which is all I'll be doing anyway. True, but now you're committed to an AMD motherboard. And since AMD is getting out of the desktop CPU game, your next upgrade will be to an Intel chip, which will need a brand new mobo. You may want to consider dropping a little extra cash on an Intel setup, since that's what your upgrades will require in a couple years. It'll be cheaper to buy CPU+mobo now and a new CPU in the future, rather than CPU+mobo now and CPU+mobo in the future. Just a word of wisdom from a guy who built an AMD machine a little late in the game. psyopmonkey posted:What was the grand total for all the hardware? Im thinking about building a new desktop but I wanna stay under $650. Totally doable if you don't need to play on ULTRA MAXX settings. Check the PC Building and Parts Picking Megathread, the OP should give you a good idea of where to start, and the folks over there will probably be happy to help out if you post your budget and your needs.

Meatwave posted:This is awesome. What did you use to cut log sections so thinly and evenly? Thanks, I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I saw some similar, but smaller pieces on Etsy and some of the artists said they'd do pieces about the size of the one I made, but they wanted around $600+ shipping for them, so I decided to make it myself. It ended up taking way longer than I thought, mostly because the quality of the wood I was getting here in Orlando wasn't very good so I ended up cutting probably 2-3x the amount of slices I actually needed just to get enough that looked good enough to use. Lots were full of insect holes. The slices were all done with a 10" miter saw. They vary in thickness on purpose, probably between half an inch to an inch and a half. I could take some more photos to give you a better idea on depth and detail. Shoot me a PM with your email address.

big mean giraffe posted:UFC on PS4 looks so much better than anything on last gen though. Blows it out of the water. I remember playing a demo for an EA Sports MMA game that I sorta liked. It did horribly in sales but I enjoyed it a lot more than the older UFC games. The EA one used the thumbsticks as opposed to buttons, which was a good change. I'm just curious if the new UFC game has an actual "feel" for MMA style fighting as opposed to being a "fighting game" with some wrestling (like the older UFC games)

Synology DS214play I have 6TB of storage in there, a torrent client, Plex server, a hosted blog, automatic synching with mine and my wife's phones, tablets and computers, photo gallery to share with family and a bunch of other stuff. The interface is extremely nice for a NAS. Also the one-touch copy from SD or USB is nice for unloading SD cards of pictures. Epiphone ES339 Pro Replacing an old Epiphone I got about 15 years ago that finally broke beyond repair after many moves. Samsung Galaxy Gear Live I think it's finally time to get a smart watch. Motorola's 360 looks slick as gently caress but I bet it will cost a lot more than $200. Also I suck with money and am a sucker for technology. Black Keys Nice lower box seats at Consol Energy Center in September. I've seen the Black Keys and Dan Auerbach before at ACL fest in Austin, but it will be nice to see them without it being 105 degrees and muddy.

So my Superman from the movie won't be lonely. Plus, I really dug the character from the movie. He wasn't as much fun as the psycho Zod from Superman 2, but he did have this scary intensity in the role where he wasn't evil, just single minded on making Krypton happen again. He didn't want to rule poo poo, he just wanted his planet back and if he had to do that on the skulls and backs of 7 billion people, well gently caress em they weren't kryptonian anyway. The headsculpt and armor detail are god damned amazing for the scale too. Can't wait to get it in Plus it helped I found a 10% off coupon and there was a sale anyway. popculturezone.com if you want to look at other comic book or movie dollies.

Don't pull that trigger just yet smith, it all ended well because I ended up with a Corvette! Camry's are just fine for 16 year olds to carpool to school in. Especially since my sister learned on it afterwards and totaled it on the D.C. beltway. Speaking of Corvettes, even though mine's a '98 these C4's are what I grew up wanting as a kid and I still think they are the coolest 80's body style outside of a Testarossa.
