What was the very first PC you ever bought/built? I'm interested in hearing what y'all's first rigs were. Mine personally was a dinky Costco thing with a fan that sounded like demons screaming. I don't recall the exact specs, just that it did the job (well, sort of) and that I had it for like 4 years before deciding I'd had enough.

Superbowl 2026 Halftime Performance Did many of you watch the superbowl this year? I know alot of people only watch the halftime performance so I'll talk about that as everyone has seen it.

Super Bowl is supposed to be the most American thing, yet he did not speak a word of English. Its not the singers fault, but why would the NFL book a singer that doesnt speak a word of... Read more

G2A and Grey Markets for game keys As for getting games at discount, I think we've talked about this before, but the big gray market sites for buying games are frowned upon here, right? Even if they are, it's always a good idea to check out Humble Bundle. It's a legit site for getting discounted games in bundles.
