- It depends on whether you have a 4k TV, or plan to get one in the near future. -- nm - Ender Apr 26, 21:05
- I would get that GoW edition. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Apr 26, 15:43 1
  - meh. -- (edited) - IrishStephen Apr 26, 15:54
- If you have a nice TV ie 4K blah, and actually play some of the games that have been taking advantage of the extra power. -- nm - Matrix_Mafia Apr 26, 15:39

"Barring unexpected new info or a trade surfacing, the Browns have settled on Baker Mayfield as their choice with the No. 1 pick." -- ESPN -- nm - David Apr 26, 14:48 12

- Someone call suicide watch.. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 26, 14:58
- Now I know who one of the not-best QBs in the draft is. -- nm - crash davis Apr 26, 14:53 1

    - it's possible, but this rarely springs from nowhere ime. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 15:34 2
      - kids can have mental illnesses. there are good parents out there with violent and/or angry kids. - b. Apr 26, 15:43 1
        
        Yep. This is certainly also possible. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 15:46
  - I've heard it said that the kids who act out at school like this do so because that's actually where they feel safest. - Beryllium Apr 26, 15:30

    - All keyed up, even. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Apr 26, 15:31
    - Understandable. You should really do what people say, take a lawyer and yell a lot. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 26, 14:53
    - I don't blame ya...I'd be furious. Seriously, bring a lawyer with you to the meeting--shut this shit down, hard. -- nm - Flavorize Apr 26, 14:47
- "Here's a quarter. Why don't you go down to the docks and have some rat patch you up after I burn that mole off your face with this blowtorch." -- nm - Uncle Groiny Apr 26, 14:29 1
  - *golf clap* -- nm - zork Apr 26, 14:31

        sounds like that other kid earned an unplanned vacation -- nm - crash davis Apr 26, 14:34 2
        
        money talks (and gets results)--Groiny should sue the school and the other kid's parents for the therapy costs to his kid, past & future. -- nm - Flavorize Apr 26, 14:41
