The Only TV Show I Watch - What Happened?

I'm not a huge tv-show watcher, but if I've grown up with a show, it's natural I'm going to continue to watch it as an adult.

The Simpsons is one of the longest running television shows on air - of course the longest running cartoon.

I watch The Walking Dead when I get the chance and I used to watch Game of Thrones but haven't caught up yet; and the one show I've been watching my whole life is The Simpsons and even that show's changed in the past five or so years.

Especially since the Actors for Troy McClure and Edna Krabappel sadly passed away (RIP Marcia Wallace and Phil Hartman), the show's naturally had to change things up.

The problem is I don't find the jokes to be as funny as they were in the 90s and early 2000s. I'm talking like seasons 5-12.

My favorite episode of all time is the one with Mindy in season 5, but I haven't watched the earlier seasons of The Simpsons in years, so I have to go back to find my all-time favorite episodes.

But for a 90s kid like me, it seems that a lot of shows are changing their recipe to appeal to 2015's crude humor. I for one like the classics.

The explosions every other episode and Bart getting into trouble at school is a rare sight. Homer hardly has good-enough reasons to really say "D'oh!" anymore.

What happened?

Some TV shows need to return to their roots - not to use a cliche but if it ain't broke seriously don't try to fix it.

It's nice that it's in HD to fit the shiny new flatscreens that go on sale for Black Friday, but I don't want a pretty cartoon - I want a funny one. I want The Simpsons 240p and all.

vRAM - 4 GB vs 2 GB

Get much for an extra $50? Take the NVidia GTX 960, for example. This mid-range card offers 2 GB and 4 GB versions, respectively -- at about a $50 discrepancy between the two cards. That being what the cost of a whole new game, for some, this makes the world of difference. GTA V A memory-hungry game to the fullest; where the more vRAM, the better. That is, the 970's 3.5 GB is just about the bare minimum, to run this game at max, 60 FPS. The 960's 4 GB are not fully taken advantage of on the lower GM206 Maxwell architecture. Therefore any additional vRAM here would be best for a more constant frame rate, with less dips and stutters between lowest and highest framerate. While this can be easily rectified with vSync enabled - you do get about 3-5 FPS higher on the four GB model of the GTX 960. You can enable far more advanced graphics options in GTA V with 4 or more GB of vRAM - namely ancillary settings like higher population density, depth of view,...

Review of the Alienware Graphics Amplifier

Laptop VS Desktop? Have both. What is a "graphics amplifier"? In essence an external GPU you can plug right into your system. Many companies have tried to release these onto the market, but sadly many haven't gotten past announcement phase. Users either resort to painstakingly building custom external graphics cards with components purchased all over the web or simply tossing aside their laptop and building a $10000 gaming PC for their graphics power needs. Both are acceptable, but Alienware and Razor (or any other company to announce one aain) give you another option: a mini-tower outfitted with a build-in PSU and cooling fan for your graphics power needs. Easier and More Flexible Wouldn't it be great to bring your laptop to work, coming back to your home office 2 hours later and gaming away as if it were that $10000 desktop? What a versatile workstation! No stray red, black and yellow cables sticking out of a shoebox or melted G...
