Yeah just download Libre Office and don't touch Word again.

You make the classic mistakes of believing that a desire for less repetition is "lazy" or "easy". As an example, long spacing between checkpoints and mobs that respawn when you save are a time sink. Asking you to repeatedly kill things you already killed is not a test of skill and therefore not...

I keep feeling tempted to buy the original when it has been on Steam sale but having watched plenty of play throughs on Youtube I am not convinced. It always comes down to grind and repetition masquerading as "difficulty". Not sure that is my cup of tea. Who knows, maybe DS2 will just focus on...

This will annoy you. I pre-ordered it from Greenmangaming for £23.99 and that included a free copy of Bioshock 1, Bioshock 2 and XCOM: Enemy Unknown! Tbh I wouldn't have bought it unless it was that cheap as I only got about a third of the way into the first one back when it came out...

OUCH!!! Just benchmarked it with SLI enabled and disabled. When running with it enabled my minimum frame rate DROPPED by 5.1fps, the maximum frame rate DROPPED by 2.0fps and the average frame rate was a slightly less depressing DROP of 0.4fps! Actually that isn't any less depressing given...

The discussion on the nvidia forums is actually in the topic for the beta driver because the beta driver doesn't solve the problem either.You and your brother should post your system info on there as you must be the only two people that are able to run with tesselation on those new drivers and...

Because he has an out of date driver or has turned tesselation off.nVidia have already ackowledged the issues and all the major gaming sites are reporting it as they have had PC's crashing when trying to do reviews of the PC version.I would urge anyone with a 6 series nVidia card to hold off...

Looks absolutely beautiful on PC but sadly totally unplayable as with nVidia (6 series apparently) cards it crashes every few seconds.

This game has been scoring 9's and 8's and I have been pretty hyped about it for a while now. I stand by what I said in a previous post - I am not looking or expecting to re-live the original Tomb Raider and everything I liked about that game. I've come to accept the market for that type of...

Actually I was making a point on the rampant fanboism in the console world and the irony of what happened. The trigger solution on the PS3 pad was inferior. Any impartial player experiencing both could clearly recognise which solution best fulfilled the intended application. That didn't stop...

Don't worry. As previous releases have proven, the old models have such a high install base that it will take years for the next gen consoles to truly "replace" them. The PS3 will likely be outselling the next gen consoles for a long time to come and for games to be profitable and recoup...

I am just laughing at all the PS fanboys that spent 8 years defending the mushy triggers on their joypad only to find out that Sony binned them and copied the 360 triggers. Pure awesomeness. I might get one but I will be buying a third party pad with the left analogue stick in the correct...

That has been my experience too. I had some games on my SSD but I have moved them onto the HDD now. I haven't really noticed much difference. My PC is very beefy anyway so there is nothing else slowing it down and load times are unnoticeable. Boot up times are nice but once booted up I am not...

As I said earlier in the thread.... http://www.classicshell.net/

So this is how I see it. First the negative: I don't trust Sony when they announce new consoles. The PS2 and PS3 announcements were full of BS, ridiculous claims about processing power (realistic water and hair, curing cancer etc), fake or highly processed screenshots and FMV passed off as game...

I am guessing the course is specifically related to Office 2010 and not just the case that she needs to submit work in Office 2010 compatible files? In other words Libre Office is out of the equation? As I haven't found any compatibility issues between that and Office 2010 or 2013 but if you are...

Still don't get the negativity in this thread. Metro is garbage for non-touch screen use but as I have already said, Classic Shell solves that problem. I haven't even seen Metro since a week after launch! Not only is it far faster than Win 7 on boot up but I am a gamer too and have noticed...

Don't listen to people on other forums who knock Windows 8. Windows 8 runs a lot faster than Windows 7 in my experience with better support of modern hardware and things like USB3. All you need to do is install this: http://www.classicshell.net/ Once you have that installed then for 99% of...

I remember when I downloaded the app I found it ran better through the site than the app. However that was only when I tested it just after I got the app. Also my ISP (Virgin) are sh*te and had been having horrendous troubles with youtube buffering. You could get 100mb on speedtest but it...

I used to but there were never many people online when I searched for servers. Shame as I did like that game and thought many of the tracks were good fun and well designed. To be honest I did think they jumped the shark somewhat when they introduced the F1 Car. I wish they had kept the more...

Wow within the first 30 minutes I had fallen through the floor and first started swimming under the ground and then free falling!

£21 on Steam now. For two days. Pretty annoyed that I was forced to create a Uplay account and run their launcher to play my Steam game. Getting beyond a joke as a few years from now we will be opening half a dozen launchers with half a dozen different accounts and passwords just to play a...

That sounds like a very good deal. It blows my 02 deal out of the water although granted I don't even come close to using my 100 mins let alone 200 and the unlimited texts I have are pointless because I use whatsapp etc these days. I however have to pay for an additional data bolt on that only...

I had an iPad 3 which was a lovely bit of kit but I never used the damn thing. I also have a laptop that I never use. I have my big desktop gaming rig turned on when I am at home and if I wanted to browse the web in bed or something I'd tend to reach for my smart phone as it was already on and...

I had a wifi-only Ipad 3 and had no problems at all using my Galaxy S2 as a wifi hotspot using my sim-only pay monthly O2 deal. The cool thing as well is that unlike some other networks, O2 didn't charge additional for tethering. So it used my existing data allowance. I think I am right in...

Galaxy was awesome. I just got Galaxy 2 to play on my Wii U. I really liked Twilight Princess too. Haven't played Skyward Sword yet. I also liked Metroid Prime Corruption with the pro control mode or whatever it was called although I wasn't keen on the small number of environments and back...

Looking back at the past year I'd have to agree that it was probably the best game I played or joint best with Alan Wake. One of only a few that not only could I be arsed to finish, but that I actually drove forward wanting to see more. I still haven't changed my mind about the flaws I listed...

Think my Sandy was 4.8 and my Ivy was 4.6. Both stable with air cooling and running well within acceptable temps. To be honest I run at stock pretty much all the time. In most games it is only worth a few fps versus stock so I didn't see the point. I did originally have a H100 on the Ivy...

The new slim line 360 still follows the design of the original with that "sucked in" look. Just as the slim PS3 follows the general appearance theme of the original full size model. They didn't go for a radical departure as they wanted to maintain the product/brand identity. Yes they have...

I think the talk of Apple TV is actually quite smart. I was looking at the Wii U and thinking that I just wouldn't want to spend that much money on a pure games machine given its poor media capabilities in the UK especially. Although I suspect the Wii U will be £199 within a matter of months as...
