Just grabbed Deus Ex (<$1) and Tomb Raider 2013 (<$3) on steam.

Figured someone else might want to grab them that cheap.

Am I irrational in wishing mini-ITX boards got the same support and cool tidbits (rgb/design/aesthetics) as their larger ATX brethren?

Considering nearly all SFF cases wouldn't allow you to see the board anyway....

Am I irrational in wishing for better performing main boards that don't include such frivolous options as flashing lights and over decorated heatsinks?

I do wish my mobo was prettier

Am I irrational thinking that people who buy graphic cards just to scalp them deserve a special place in hell.

Or any high demand item for that matter.

They deserve the Thousand Years of Death Jutsu.

Only if you include the people that pay the scalped prices in an adjacent hell. One doesn't happen without the other.

Played Grand Theft Auto V for about 3 hours over the weekend. I have to say, I don't get the hype that surrounds these games. The driving mechanics suck, and they are most of the game.

I never have quite understood the whole "all or nothing" constant acceleration in these open world games. The designers do actually drive cars right?

It's just not that complicated. Something like forward speed increasing as long as I hold the stick or the 'forward key'. If I let off, the acceleration should stop, but it should maintain speed. If I brake, etc, it should slow down. That would be way more playable.

Your character driving skill will increase the more you drive, at the beginning it does suck, and overall driving in GTA V is so wacky, but it does slightly better the more time you spend on a vehicle.

I do agree with that statement. Part of the problem of prices increasing is both scalpers and people paying absurd amounts of money to have the latest and greatest GPUs or any item in particular. I really want to upgrade mine, but I would never overpay for anything, no matter how much I need it or want it. The moment people pull their head out of the place where the sun don't shine, scalpers will have no other choice but to sell their items at the price is supposed to be.
