Icon10 Funny review!

I was reading this guys review of the nVidia GTX Titan X video card, and thought it was funny! Its nVidias most expensive card, 12 GB, DD5, etc for around a cool $1,000.00 Bit expensive for me,lol But here is what he wrote-

" A friend of mine recommended this card to me for mining bitcoin, dogecoin, and subway tokens. So I did what any financially responsible person would do. I donated all of my blood and took out 17 unsecured loans to have the necessary funds to buy three of these.

Installation and setup on the software side of things was a breeze. Couldn't have been easier or more effortless. But on the subject of breezes, I'm not sure it's a major selling point for most people to turn on their PC tower and have it be propelled across the floor by the sheer force of the wind coming out of the back of these. I mean, sure, I guess it's a bonus to have a computer that I could conceivably ride to work. But since 10 mile long extension cords aren't easy to find, I'm left with few options. Granted, I was able to make it stationary and I suppose I'll eventually have a use for the resulting wind tunnel I've created in my house.

Those quibbles aside, my main aggravation with this card comes from my 3rd day of use. I was playing Far Cry 4 (which looks AMAZING by the way) and noticed some flickering, that at first, I thought was on my screen. But glancing quickly around the room I noticed that all of my electrical appliances were acting strange. My VCR kept flashing "UH:OH" instead of the normal "12:00".

I heard what sounded like a mixture of dubstep and a very large tazer. There was a very large blue sphere of energy materializing on my couch. After it dissipated, there was a naked man sitting on my couch. He said a bunch of confusing things and asked me if I knew what I had just done. "Skynet" something or another. Then he asked if I knew where to find some woman named "Sarah". He asked me for my clothes and where he could get some guns.

Now, mind you, I'm not saying this is the first time a naked man has trounced through my house asking for guns and my clothes. But since my father was out of town, I knew it couldn't have been like the last 5 times it's happened.

Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic card for gaming. You can't possibly go wrong with it. But unless you're looking for time travelling gun activists who are into public nudity, look elsewhere."
