Re: Iron Man

3rd Tier superhero movies FTL. Daredevil, anyone? Elektra? Any of the Punisher films? They all sucked. Hmm I'd say Iron Man is more 2nd Tier. Ant-Man on the other hand is off the radar, why would Marvel invest in such a film? Setup for the Avengers movie later on. I'm almost more excited about the ...

Re: the best way to get a good workout?

Screw getting big. Get strong. Get quick. Get fast. Get powerful. Get nimble. Get agile. Function beats the crap outta form, and form follows function far more closely than function follows form. You might have to define strong/powerful. That gets a bit subjective. Because that's my main goal, stre...

Re: the best way to get a good workout?

Good advice all around in here. Your height isn’t really your disadvantage. It is your muscle type, which by your weight I’m guessing you’re an ectomorph. Which is the hardest to build muscle with. I’m 5’11 myself and 195lbs, 11% body fat. I’m a different muscle type though, I’m more a mix between m...

Re: Positive Playstation 3 Talk and Q/A

So I just picked up a PS3 yesterday, lovely machine. Bought COD4 since some workmates play online so I figured I'd buy it too and show those "noobs" what FPS gaming is all about. But I must say I'm disappointed in the graphics. I mean I've played the demo on my PC (3800 X2, 2 gigs RAM, 790...

Well well folks. My Dell 2408WFP arrived today. I won't be able to play with it until I get home later tonight from a Color Guard I gotta do for a Golden Gloves match, but I'll post pictures when I do play with it. Any particular settings folks want me to test out?

..going to bomb. I've got this gut feeling that Capcom is going to fail this one again.

The credentials of the peopel associatied with it, director, producer, wow just wow. Those folks' resumes don't make the outcome of this movie sound all too good.

Re: *Help me decide please....

Ok after checking out some detailed reviews on behardware.com I guess I'm back on board with the 2408wfp, whenever the hell that comes out. I guess I'll wait it out. Or will Dell let me exchange the 2407wfp-hc for a 2408wfp when it comes out? Anyone know?

Ok so I've decided not to wait for the 2408wfp, and after reading up on it's predecessor's issues I might be right to skip it. I've been doing A LOT of reading on LCD monitors and taking into consideration what I will be using them for. I've decided after seeing it upclose that I'd much rather get a...

Half of the people that work at the hospital here smoke. That just doesn't make any sense to me at all. That always perplexes me.

Cons of refurbished that are specific to Xbox 360 are that RRoD or other hardware failure is more likely and that the warranty will be less time. Since hardware problems come to a significant percentage of Xbox 360 units, these factors have more weight than in normal purchases. Ahh that you are rig...

Get the 2408 if you can due to the large amounts of inputs. It certainly will help, IMHO. I hadn't even heard of that monitor till you just mentioned it. Must be spanking new. Searched Dell, it's not available yet apparently. I suppose I could wait. It has a price of $748 vs $699 on the 2407. And l...
