I thought I'd stop in and say hi. "Hi!"

Like your setup. Will go back and rate it in a sec. Thinking1 or 2.

Football....really don't watch any anymore. Moved to Taiwan 11 years ago and only championship games air at 4am or so. Still follow a little at NFL.com but that is it.

Sad that we, the Chargers, don't have the biggest screw up anymore, Ryan Leaf. You, the Raiders, won that one, Jamarcus Russell.

Raiders12 · 08-19-2010, 12:32 PM

Tis true. Jmarc is an utter failure and am very glad they dumped that sad excuse for a QB.

Twain eh? That must be a unique place to live!

It has been okay. When I first arrived, I thought I was on a different planet. After 11 years it is all completely normal now. When I go back to San Diego, it feels weird. Waitresses and waiters are so friendly, it is scary, like something from a Twilight Zone episode or horror film; why are they so friendly? What do they want? Oh yeah, tips. Here they don't tip, they should. Service is terrible.

Off to walk the dog. Later.

Hi Raiders12,
Didn't want to totally overrun Croseiv's thread

I've looked into mods for the dell and unfortunately they're really bad at the level (MT 435) that I have. I know they're pretty flexable in some of the higher end, Overclocked, liquid cooling....etc. but I hardly have time to watch BR lol

The one mod that I did see was a double slot 1 gig VC and PS upgrade.
I'd better run for now

Raiders12 · 08-19-2010, 01:16 PM

Yeah, dont want to thread hijack haha. Thats the one reason Ive built my last 3 PCs. Not only does it satisfy the inner nerd, but it just gives you such freedoms with upgrades/mods. If I want right now I could slap another 4 GB of Ram in my system if I wanted, but the next upgrade is a bluray drive!

Morrissey · 08-19-2010, 02:37 PM

Morning Raiders! Hope you have a great day buddy!

Raiders12 · 08-19-2010, 03:07 PM

To you as well Morrissey. Just biding my time, until I can be home and nap. Whata brutal late night.

A little late night gaming?

Raiders12 · 08-19-2010, 03:32 PM

I always wanted to play Madden but there was just too many buttons and options. I always stuck to NHL on PS3.

Raiders12 · 08-19-2010, 03:53 PM

Its definitely a series that takes practice. Ive never really played a real hockey game before, its the same for me in that its confusing as heck. I love me some Madden, as much as I hate supporting Ea Games year after year. sigh

I only play Tiger Woods now.

Nice and relaxing.

talstarone · 08-19-2010, 04:03 PM

Glad you are enjoying the Bourne Trilogy so far.As the movies become newer,the Video Quality Increases(as does the Audio Track Performance).

And,Please,call me Todd.You dont have to be formal with me(But whatever you would like to call me is OK)
Since I don't think there is anything else I haven't already been called.

Raiders12 · 08-19-2010, 04:05 PM

Yep, tonight will be the worst of the series with Supremacy, but stilla good flick.

talstarone · 08-19-2010, 04:32 PM

I Agree and Understand where you are coming from;when you say the weakest of the Trilogy.

I would say that there is No "Bad" Blu of the Series.
Its similar to LOTR.Starts off with a Good Video Offering and improves with the following titles.
Though if the other two shared the same video performance of the First One(Speaking of the Bourne Trilogy)They would all still be considered as Very-Good Transfers.

But I do understand what you are taking about.I guess the age of the movies plays a part in the finished product.

I did want to say Thanks for the Info on the HP Books.I have given thought to start reading them if time permitted.
I am even considering a Electronic Book Rider,like a Kindle.Just need to find out if colors are available(along with my Home Theater and Stereophile magazines)
Or even an iPad to have some music in a loseless format(or at least AAC256)

Have you watched the Harry Potter Movies on Blu-Ray yet.And have you read all of the books,or just a couple.

I was curious to see how someone who read the books and watched the Blus,would rate them.Both in Enjoyment and also as being true(to an extent)to the Book.
As Prisoner of Azkaban is my Favorite of the Bunch.Wanted to see if it was changed a lot from the book or stayed as true as possible.

Raiders12 · 08-19-2010, 04:42 PM

Well I hvnt read Books 1-4 since early days of grade school when they first came out, like in 1999-2001. I remember them vaguely. But for sure #6 differed greatly from the book right from the get-go. The book had ahuge section on apparition, where they disappear and teleport. But the movie showed nothing of this, and yet it plays an integral part in Deathly Hallows, as its how Harry and gang travel around escaping Death Eaters.

I have watched Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire blus, but like I said its been a long time for those novels. 6 and 7 were read last summer so they are still very fresh.

Raiders12 · 08-19-2010, 05:57 PM

Now I want to go home and watch Mj: This is It after suggesting it in another thread lol.

Raiders12 · 08-19-2010, 08:03 PM

Just further overclocked my CPU, now touching 3.7 Ghz running just as cool as it did when it was stock. Stress testing with Prime95, looks like the temps are safe and its stable
