Left it on over night to see if the CPU ran hot or anything, and it didn't burst into flames or explode. Not bad for my first attempt at building from scratch. EDIT: And before anyone asks: Yes, I fashioned my computer work station out of re-purposed counter-tops/kitchen cabinets. Ghetto as it may be, my office room used to have a kitchen in it before I took it over and the hole where the oven used to be was the perfect size for my minidesk/monitor. May not be the prettiest, but the extra storage is great.

Turns out the cheeky pricks are paying off companies like adblock plus, so surprise surprise. Source? I'm yet to come across any ad.

Turns out the cheeky pricks are paying off companies like adblock plus, so surprise surprise. Source? I'm yet to come across any ad. www.businessinsider.com/google-saved-an-estimated-887-million-by-paying-adblock-plus-to-show-its-ads-2013-8And if you have an Android? Forget it, the damn system is such a bloody mess, even rooted, so you have this asinine "Please wait 5 seconds to skip this ad" dialogue that's also very difficult to press. Because 5 seconds of a shitty commercial is totally going to convince me to sit through your stupid ad. Here's the official lowdown on the new menu "organization" they implemented, too: techcrunch.com/2014/01/23/googles-search-filters-now-update-dynamically-based-on-your-queries/Dynamic my fucking ass - maybe not hide the useful shit under "more" in the first place if that's their bugaboo, but honestly everyone who's used Google for over a goddamn decade are TRAINED to know "Web" then "Images" so on and so forth. Fucking with that just adds more accidental clicks because the fuckers think you wanted to shop at their horribly unreliable system for something when all you wanted was a picture. Also, no lie, my phone - my fucking *Android phone* - doesn't even sync Gmail anymore. I didn't update my phone, I didn't update Gmail... huh, seems like their new system is fucking with me even more. I honestly just wish Google would re-load their old backup files and leave it the hell alone because right now they're behaving like Microsoft. They think they need to change for change's sake and try to add their little "helpful" additions but end up fucking things up for people who can actually tie their own shoes. With every change in design, I read their reasoning and wind up thinking "Yeah, that totally makes sense - if you've never ever used Google or its services before for a baseline and you're brain power couldn't run a single Christmas light!" People don't know how to use the taskbar? Instead of making it more customizable and user friendly, just get rid of it. Just fucking remove it! People don't know how to move their stupid hand a millimeter over to select "maps?" Just move maps for them for no good goddamn reason! Talk about "Give a man a fish," Google; they're giving out pre-cooked, marinated fillets except it's salmon, and I personally fucking hate salmon, so stop giving me a salmon dinner Google! (and if you were a good little search engine you'd know that from your data mining, bastards ha ha!). Speaking of fuck ups, everyone who is reading/didn't hear/no excuses CHANGE YOUR KICKSTARTER PASSWORDS THEY GOT HACKED. - PSA o' the day When I read that I kinda thought to myself "Korey, you better make me not regret ever keeping this damn kickstarter account..." ha ha! Anyone have thoughts as to what angle he's going for? By the sound of all the investments and possible animation inclusions, I'm beginning to wonder if he's aiming high like Rooster Teeth, that is to say, having a certain level of reknown if you will. For instance, RT has an established presence and identity with Red vs Blue, from which they've grown quite to encompass a far more diverse site. They have great sponsors, are always up for awards and they even beat Catching Fire with RWBY's soundtrack: (I can see hear why) I know obviously he's aiming high, but for all the "first year" talks, I would imagine he's smart enough to know you don't invest 100k like this for only a one year shot. After all, it's not like Hollywood.com was affording any extra studio or anything and Spill still managed (while it lasted), so here's hoping he has a real surprise in store. Or I'll settle for not having any problems thanks to Kickstarter getting themselves all hacked up heh hehe!

Fucking pricks. The thing that Google doesn't realize is that people are WILLING to disable adblocking for websites/youtube channels they actually want to use. As of now, Google has done nothing to make me want to support them, at all.

Everything about it is awful. Writing, character design, animation... everything.
It's basically Deviantart:The Show.

What's with all these people bad-mouthing the CG effects in the new Godzilla trailer? It may turn out to be a crappy movie, but that shit looks awesome...

Here's another good question: Why are people comparing this to Pacific Rim? Aside from being made by Legendary they look nothing alike, plus Godzilla has better actors. I'm still surprised some didn't notice how bad the lead's accent in Pacific Rim was.
