DOOM Eternal sold so well it's listed twice?

If any GameStop employees are reading this you may want to put your applications in at Radio Shack, I hear they're hiring.

Without numbers anyone can say sells well, it's a good PR move if true or not.

I don't think I could pick a single film as my all time favorite. But "Casablanca" certainly belongs near the top of the list of the best films ever made. Also the top for me is "Lawrence of Arabia" and for me personally "The Fountainhead" -- although I doubt "The Fountainhead" would be on most lists of that type.

Pssh, you guys and your "best films" lists. Everyone knows the best movie ever made is "Naughty Nurses 7."

Well, at least they weren't stupid enough to launch on Steam at full price (there's a 40% "discount" on this year-old game... how generous...). Though I notice that the full price is listed at $39.99 and I don't remember if that was the full price on release. Either way, I'm not paying anywhere near that much for Epic's sloppy seconds.

I find that exclusivity deals have just saved me money, because I really have no burning desire to play some of these games after waiting (and enough lets-plays and other material has come out to show me that I probably would have wasted my money if I had bought immediately... looking at you Phoenix Point & Julian Gollop). I'd have bought Mechwarrior 5 launch day full price if it had come out on Steam. Now, I'm honestly not sure if I'll even bother when it gets rereleased, there's just too much wrong with it based on the lets-plays I've watched. Oh well, hopefully that "exclusivity money" was enough to make up for my lost sale...

Hey Blue, isn't the playoff pool using progressive scoring? (I.e. Round 1 gives 1 point for each correct pick, round 2 gives 2 points for each correct pick.) If that's the case, then picking the winner of today's game should be worth 4 points. Wouldn't that mean you still have a chance?

Sure. So if the Ravens win, I'm all set!

As long as you're buying a new SSD, does your current system support Nvme types? I'd not really gotten into it before my recent upgrades but I was surprised to learn that Nvme SSD's are 5 to 7 times faster than SATA versions.

Interesting -- I knew they were faster, but I didn't realize they were that much faster.

For sake of argument I dumb it down (over simplify) for customers like this;
A hard drive delivers data at 50 MB/ s
An SSD 500 MB/ s
and a PCIe NvMe does 5000 MB/ s.

Yes, I know some of those numbers are higher than realistic and some lower.

The main point I try to make is that they will definitely notice a huge improvement when they replace their hdd with an ssd, but going from sata speed ssd’s to pcie nvme speeds is not gonna illicit that same WOW feeling.
Pcworld rundown on the differences and speeds.
