This sub-forum seems a bit sparsely populated. The Everyday Show-off thread has been getting a lot of watch posts, here's a thread where we can share and discuss watches we already own. Couple of suggestions that might make the thread a bit more interesting. 1) Separate posts per watch. Will...

New car!

Good dual clutch systems and overall improvements to the behaviour of ATs are challenging the old arguments that an MT always provides higher mileage and better shift times. With that said, what do you guys prefer? I learnt to drive on a manual transmission and when I have tried to drive...

I was talking to someone the other day and the topic of religion came up. I usually avoid discussion of religion or politics but it was unavoidable here. This person seemed to imply that she doesn't trust anyone who is not religious (any religion). I don't tend to judge others based on their...

There are not many Wii/3DS related threads posted here but I thought this game deserved it. Let me start by saying this is one of the best 2D platformers I have ever played. (No hyperbole). I know there are at least a few Wii and 3DS owners around here. If you haven't played this game, give it a...

Out of all the gadgets you have bought, which one would you pick as your best purchase? (If you built your own computer, pick one component :P). Maybe because it was the most useful, best value for money, lasted the longest or had the best design. Any reason. Pick one. Mine would be the iPod...

So I finally bought a shelf to hold my Lego collection. I can start rebuilding all the sets I had taken apart. @Black_Hawk had suggested that I create a thread but I thought a Gallery might be a better way to go. Currently built sets are - Technic 8070 - Supercar - Has power functions and a...

So this topic came up the other day over lunch with friends. A few said they prefer living in a joint family/with parents to living alone and would go back if their job allowed it. Personally, I moved out for college and have been living separately since then and I quite like it. (Even though I...

Took one month and three fabric choice changes but it is finally here.

WTH? I am in Delhi for 10 days and an earthquake? I am catching the next flight to Hyd. At least I only need to fear sun strokes.

The image above, produced using my l33t MS Paint skills, is my current audio setup. I am looking to improve it by replacing my DAC and Phono stage. (Speakers are fairly new and I quite like them. Not looking to make any changes there. The same situation with the record player as well.) I am...

Am looking for a pair of headphones. Requirements: Closed Portable Shortish cable No amp required, will be driven directly from the headphone out of an iPhone. Audio Signature: Something clean and analytical for the Mids and Highs. Bass is not very important (low bass is OK, but it...

Save 90% on Alpha Protocolâ„¢ on Steam A bit late to the party, but I picked up the game for $2 on Steam the other day. It is still on sale at that price. It was an impulse purchase but it turned out to be a very fun game (with a few caveats). The game is basically a spy RPG where the combat...

Had a few upgrades recently. Posted a few in the everyday show-off thread, just collecting them here (with a couple of new things added.) New things first NuForce uDAC II + MeElectronics M9P (<-- The remote doesn't work. :( Opened an RMA though. They are shipping out a new one.) New...

How many people here are using a dual GPU setup? What is you experience? I got a new monitor earlier in the month so wanted to upgrade my GPU. I have a SLI/CF capable motherboard so I just bought a second 4870 1GB to try to hold me over till I did a full system update later in the year...

I would greatly appreciate any help in finding a decent 2.0 system to hook up directly to my computer. Most of the time the speakers will be used for music. (Classic Rock, Indie, Some Electronic. Not very bass centric, Mids and Highs are more important). The rest of the time will be gaming and...

Both of these were released yesterday. Anyone download them yet? I will download FIFA 11 on the PS3 and Xbox tonight, see if there are any differences. I did download PES 2011 on the PC and have been mighty impressed. Won't need to get the console version as it's the same as the PC version...
