Extraction shooters are things like Helldivers II. You go in with a limited team size (usually three or four), and fight hordes of PvE monsters / enemies and sometimes complete additional objectives while doing so. When all objectives are complete, you head for an "extraction" zone of sorts and...

Ever the optimist aren't we?

Fans have every reason to be alarmed. Not only have video game to movie and TV adaptations been almost universally bad, but Mass Effect is in my opinion, a relatively bad property to adapt. Costs aside, it either has to go the prequel route or run parallel to the games meaning it has a very...

I have an F-150 Tremor and a 2001 Camaro SS. So no. I'm not a fan of it in vehicles. I remember how cheap that looked in most vehicles from the 70s and 80's. Real wood trim in luxury cars is certainly better than cheap plastic faux wood, but only marginally in my opinion.

Gross. I am not a fan of this "wood" PC trend. Fake wood and even real wood accents on things were gross in the 1970's. I don't think that's changed.

Nor should you be. There isn't enough of an upgrade there to justify the cost. Plus, your going to be more GPU limited unless your running your games in potato mode.

There is very little chance it will.

Yeah, that one shocks me. The other two really don't.

That's kind of my feeling as well. I am also not a fan of the Temu style Mass Effect armor that the characters wear. We'll see how this plays out eventually I guess.

I couldn't bring myself to spend nearly $1,000 on a 32" monitor today. It's not that I won't spend more on a monitor, I obviously did with my current display. But there is no way I could spend that much on a monitor that small.

I worked at Comp USA from 1997 to 1999 and Best Buy (before Geek Squad) from 1999 to late 2000. I did a second stint at Comp USA part time around 2003 to 2004. I worked in the tech shop in both places and saw hundreds of gross *** machines. We saw cigarette smoke, ear wax covered paperclips...

It's like the wood paneling absorbs and preserves cigarette smoke forever.

I don't like the faux wood grain bullshit. Hell I don't like real wood grain on electronics. The **** is right out of the 1970's. Reminds me of wood paneling and the smell of cigarette smoke. I'll pass on that.

Gross.
