Nerd thread...

THat's the thing, GC app varies from platform to platform. I was pretty happy with GC on my cellphone, but GC app for tablet sucks, always buffering and sometimes just stalls altogether. Then I switched to the AppleTV GC app, and that one is much smoother BUT for whatever reason, a lot of the games are unavailable after game finishes ... if I start the game before the game's over, I can watch till the end. But if I start the game after the game's over, it says it's not available until 24 hrs later ... dumb.

I heard NHL made a team with MLB to let MLB take care of their online experience, including NHL GC. I'm hoping that will help ... cause as is, GC quality is good when it works, but the user interface sucks and varies a lot from app to app.

Yeah I'm hoping that the now that they're working with MLB it will improve the app. MLB.tv is awesome.
 
How easy is it to get around NHL GameCentre's blackouts using a VPN?

Very, very easy.

I bought game center when I was in New Zealand on exchange, and didn't realize those ****s at Rogers charge twice as much for the equivalent Canadian product, so once I got back to Canada, continued using game center + VPN and had no issues at all. With the VPN you can avoid any regional blackouts too.

Actually pretty likely to do the same thing this season, assuming American game center costs half of the Rogers one.
 
It's the same way with Football. Canadian Sunday Ticket is cheaper than American. Rip off artists.

When I was buying a new comp about 6 months back the one area I saved money was the hard-drive, already had one, but it is super small. I just have the one. I run out of space really quickly and its causing my games to freeze even though i have an i7-4790k and gtx 970. What is a good hard drive to get? Is an HDD with 1TB good?

Get an SSD to run your programs, then get a Western Digital HD for storage (they are dirt cheap - 3 TB go for like $150 or less)
