    Street Cleaning Simulator

    Really. Do we really need to develop utter horse like this....? http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/sim/streetcleaningsim/review.html?tag=summary%3Bread-review D.

    L4D2 - Helmsdeep survival map

    Some clever sod managed to draft up the Helmsdeep setting from Lord of The Rings and chuck it into L4D2. Complete with the original music from the film, you simply have to hold out against hordes of the undead. Stupid, silly but really quite fun. Apparently (unlike the typical Survival Mode map)...

    Red 197 - Asda Pilsworth yesterday afternoon

    Complete with white alloys - which looked brilliant against the red of the bodywork. Looked like it had a For Sale sticker in the window too. Approx 4pm. D.

    Crikey. Just been dropping a car off in Darwen and in the space of 15mins, spotted four RS Clios.... **** LJA - silver Ph.1 172 **** GWX - arctic 182 F*** *** (missed the reg unfortunately) - silver 182 L44 *** - silver Ph.2 172 **** LJA - silver Ph.1 172 - again, going the opposite way...

    MacBook Pro (i7 spec) - PSU is red hot?

    Is this normal? I know it's 'expected' to draw a fair amount of current in order to power the CPU and the onboard gfx. But that little white PSU is seriously hot - just about comfortable enough to hold in the palm of your hand. Can anyone else confirm that their PSU is the same? Cheers, D.

    Wings of Prey

    I know a few people have mentioned this - especially as its cropped up in the Steam summer sale. What a great WW2 flying game it really is. I dusted off the 'ol Microsoft Sidewinder FF stick as I was impressed to see that the game had a preset profile for it and it's MUCH better to use than...

    Anyone got a 100mm ATi Crossfire connector cable for sale?

    Rearranging some internals on the PC, but could really do with one of these longer Crossfire cables to connect the two 4890 cards. If anyone has one for sale, please let me know. :) Cheers, D.

    Grey RS200 - Grane Road yesterday evening

    Anyone off here? Would have been just before 6pm. Got a wave back. :cool: D.

    Speed of Steam at the minute?

    Ok, it's probably getting dry-humped to within an inch of its life with the Summer Sale currently being on. But I want to check if anyone else is having probs? I've brought my freshly reformatted PC around to a decent internet connection, but the Steam downloads are still horseshit. When I try...

    LY RS200 - Guide roundabout, Blackburn this morning....

    What's the script with VST files?

    My brother-in-law has been linking up his keyboards to his PC and trying out a few apps in the process. Nearly all seem to support VST plugins, but none that we've come across actually tell you how to install/use them? Most appear to be .dll files which I presume would require registering on...

    A messy afternoon - CV boot clip failure. And the clean-up afterwards...

    Well, the offside-front CV boot has spat it's grease out again, as mentioned in the following thread.... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?583803-CV-boot-clip-failed....-again! Today was aimed at not only fixing it, but also cleaning up the mess it created. :dapprove: On initial...

    Free games thread

    Given the excellent suggestion by Kerry-W yesterday for the open source version of Transport Tycoon Deluxe.... http://www.openttd.org/en/ I thought it would be useful to create a thread that included any other worthy suggestions. Please DO NOT post links to torrent sites for illegal...

    Network tone generators?

    Chaps, Any recommendations for network tone generators over structured cabling? Want to get a pretty decent one, but not a diamond-encrusted all-singing/all-dancing one. Seen a couple on Maplins website, but th reviews have been pretty bad for them. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

    CV boot clip failed.... again!

    For the third time in its life, the off-side front CV boot has let go its grease. Is it more common for this side to fail, or not? Hmmmm. I wonder...... Poll added! D.

    Macshield infection?

    The sister-in-laws iMac seems to be infected with Macshield malware b****cks. As per usual with this kind of crap - the obvious answer is to pay for the 'fix' in order to remove the pages to gay p**n that randomly pop-up (duh - ok) - other than that, it seems quite a recent infection...

    RB182 new multistorey car-park, Bury this morning...

    ....on Level 5 to be precise. :) Only caught a glimpse of it, so at a pinch, it may even have been arctic blue instead. D.

    Network file transfer issue - can't see the wood for the trees!

    Right chaps - this is something silly and frustrating, that clearly is so obvious that I'm not seeing it! At one of our depots, we have the typical 100mbps network setup - 10/100 switch in there, a small file server and about half-a-dozen Windows XP PCs. On one PC, I've picked up on the fact...

    Black gold

    Black gold, as all owners know.... Scratches simply looking at it Shows up every bit of dirt that floats in the earth's atmosphere Is a b**ch to PC (at times) ...and generally looks good, about 2% of the time. I gave the 182 a quick wash before setting off for work yesterday, and even with...

    Lacquer on bullets?

    What lacquer do people put on painted bullets? The last two attempts I've done, it's reacted very badly to the paint on the bullets themselves - both plastic paint and enamel based paint. Any suggestions would be muchos appreciated. Cheers, D.

    Does Apple still offer an educational discount?

    As above, really. If a MacBook Pro is purchased by a student, does that get a discount applied to it? Cheers, D.

    Footy games and I never get on....

    Any idea which side was mine whilst playing PES? Now if I'd been using keyboard and mouse, I bet I would have been on a 32-0 thrashing... ;) D.

    Good 'ol eBay & Amazon - 360 bits

    Having recently acquired the 360, I wanted the minimum of fuss to switch between the PC and the console with regards to my monitor and the audio decoder. On a recommendation from a m8, he pointed me in the direction of one HDMI to DVI cable, which would connect the 360 to the Iiyama monitor (£2...

    Pre-order waiting?

    I've pre-ordered a fair few games over the years - but normally these take a few weeks, several at most to arrive. At the other end of the scale, what's the longest people have been waiting for something to actually get released? ;) I just checked my Play.com account and I preordered Diablo III...
