Had another dabble with this and got further than I did before. But it's still not 'right' as far as I'm concerned. Put another way, I bought Serious Sam 4 in the recent sale and am MUCH preferring that as a chaotic shooter. You know that the Doom series has failed when you start with a max...

Nice save coming out of Druids there. :cool:

Welcome aboard!

25 watchers. All on crack from the looks of it....

Yep - 4 was the last one. I've got the Deluxe/Collectors Edition of Hitman 2 which I need to play through, but often prefer the chaos of games like Serious Sam 4. Shoot, move, shoot. None of this tip-toey crap... :LOL:

Wait.... Have I been driving this car for over sixteen years with my head at 45 degrees, pressed against the roof, when I could have lowered the seat slightly? Shite-on-a-bike. Do I feel dumb...

Been VERY close myself to the CPU squishing - but thankfully (touch wood) - I've not killed one yet!

Have you tried any of the Sniper Elite games previously, Chris? I'm not usually a fan of stealth-type games, but I've loved the SE series - SE4 in particular.

To be honest - that's a bloody good alternative to poor b******s like us with storage heaters. Our peak bill for one month in a two bed apartment for two adults and with just two storage heaters on, was nearly £260. I bet for the same money, you could have an entire mining farm running for...

One half of nothing really, then! The peak I saw myself was when I ran two GTX690 cards in quad SLi. That was drawing some decent wattage during 3DMark.

Have you plugged in a wattage meter between your PC and the wall socket whilst mining? I'd be interested to know what's being drawn power-wise whilst your PC is mining for hours at a time. I know a typical kettle or toaster will hit 2,000w when in use - but that's only for a minute or two. If...

Well done young disciple..... your journey may have been convoluted, but you have found the one true path to enlightenment..... ;)

Will do - probably going to use it a bit more frequently with the upcoming sunnier months. Probably only spent 2-3 minutes on each headlamp, so it takes no time at all really. :)

This thread reminded me to get my arse in gear and whip over my headlights again. The rest of the car is skanky, but at least the lights are clean! Another go with The Chemical Guys Headlight Restorer and two cloths. Such a shame that the plastic is cracked in the nearside unit at the top and...

Wires don't bother me much to be fair. Decades after being in IT and I still shun Bluetooth and wireless for the most part if a cable isn't a pain in the arse to use. That said, being passionate about something and merely appreciating it are two quite different aims. I'm definitely of the...

As above really. When we move, we're looking into getting a new TV and was wondering about audio setup for it. I don't want to be a cnut of a neighbour and have an IMAX-spec setup that does nothing than piss the neighbour off. But I'd like something pretty-decent - a smart TV around 55"-60"...

Looks like the manual is calling the 'pump tach' cable the USB headed one, which makes sense. My main PC mobo in BIOS has an actual reading for CPU_PUMP - which given that's over five years old now probably means that its a lot more common now?

Just check that you get the USB header cable within the Corsair Hydro package. You should do, but without it the iCUE software won't be able to control the pump flow - it will just be 'on'. Permanently. If you're running a diddy mobo like a micro-ITX, you might find that you're short on the...

That letterbox view is just crying out for racing games. I'm thinking of the likes of the in-helmet view from Project Cars 2. Nice purchase Chris. Like you say with the 3070, you can't be too picky these days and grab what you can, when you can. It's still a top-level card anyway.

Finger-crossed! I guess the occasional static twist, the risk is pretty minimal. Just those that do it on a daily basis. :)

See that so often with people moving their cars. Huge 18/19" tyres being ground into the surface when completely static. It must put a significant strain on the rack and/or PAS system as a whole.

Welcome aboard :)

Nice shopping list, that!

Money well spent. 👍🏻 £7k could have dropped you right into dull, generic ownership of a car that you pass twenty of per day, instead.

An interesting thread this - it's almost like the absolute inverse of what we got Microsoft MapPoint to do all those years ago at work. Literally planning the most efficient route around several destinations - which makes sense for the commercial environment, but not so much when you want to...

Looks great - proper solid performance from that graph too. Big plus point for the flaps as well - they really suit it and probably very functional on some of the roads up in Scotland!

I do like black golds with the front grilles painted. Are they pretty resistant to chipping over time? Or does the paint start to come off quite easily?

I’ve not played 2077 - but for all the hype, preorders and buzz that this game generated - it does appear to have quietened down a lot in the media. Given that Witcher 3 still continues to be referred to and actively promoted - I read a gaming reviewer back in February literally pleading with...

Don't forget the DSG fartbox with the stomp & go driving mentality saving the driver any third pedal and manual change issues. Driven the neighbours Polo GTi and although it felt like you'd never see double-figures in MPG when the gearbox is set to Sport - in most scenarios I bet it would beat...

Still wish I'd ordered mine in PB.... ☺️ It's a gorgeous colour - nice purchase, sir!
