Just nipped to the bank and it was parked on there. Looked smart - complete with stripes too. :) D.

Just how do you take down 12 antennas with the entire EDF army after you - when your only hope is in an armoured jeep that has the directional stability of using a pogo-stick on a waterbed and being smashed out of your tree while doing so? ;) I mean, I managed to smash 9 of the b*****ds before...

Wow. Really. Wow. I've been on a Wii today and have been thoroughly impressed with both the game and the Motion Plus controller. It's one of those combinations that doesn't just work well, but superbly well imo - and as a consequence makes the game massively more enjoyable overall. The...

I've never really liked the view in FPS games from the 'over the shoulder' perspective. Games like Gears of War frustrated me and to a lesser extent, so did Mass Effect. I downloaded Red Faction : Guerilla via Steam the other day and while I really enjoy the game, I keep getting these 3rd...

I've been up and down the lane around half-a-dozen times in the last few days and each time the 182 manages it with hardly any fuss or drama. The only slight issue I've had has been with the run-up to the entrance of our lane. It's on an incline and if you get traffic coming the other way then...

Just got Defense Grid (I, ahem.... had an acquired copy before ;)), STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl and Tank Universal - all for a mere £4.32! Well worth looking into if you're after some cheap games. Mirrors Edge was just over £3, iirc? D.

Parked up as I went past. The snow has been making for some interesting driving - lol! D.

What in God's name is it doing, ffs?! Its the first time I've installed it on Windows 7 since having it on Windows XP before that. The framerate within the cars - even the very start sequence where you pickup your cousin is absolutely shocking - easily sub-10fps and it pauses for about a...

Mainly along the lines of Wii Sports, etc. I've bought one for my parents for Xmas (lol!) - but I thought as they had a large plasma TV and the fact that my mum loves her DS - it would make for a good present for them both. :) Any recommendations that are fun and pretty straight-forward? I...

Heading eastbound. Would have been just after 11am, iirc? D.

The black Wii console packages themselves seem quite easy to find, but what about the additional controllers? They seem nigh-on impossible to find - or am I just not looking in the right places? ;) D.

As title thread, really. Worth it if you want something cheap and classic! D.

Just passed it now on the M66 and it came off at junction 2, Bury. I would have let on except I was in a Passat. Random acknowledgements by VAG drivers - FTL! ;) Both reg and car seem really familiar? D.

Right chaps. I've been requested to help in putting together a PC for my nephew - the good news being the budget at £1.5k It's 99% used for gaming - so the GPU, CPU and memory are all important - along with the mobo of course. The budget is to include a new monitor (he's currently got a 4:3...

Do they have HDMI output on them, or is it purely composite? Cheers, D.

Great thing it was too! One of the guys at work bought it a few months back and I got a lift to Asda at dinner. As the boot says, it's an automatic and not too clunky, suprisingly. Felt a little weird sat on the right side as a passenger on our roads (I think its the first time I've...

...surely the answer to many a thief's dreams? 16-for-1....... and it has wheels! ;) http://store.apple.com/uk/product/T3477B/A?aosid=p204&cid=AOS-EMEA-SHOP-GoogleBase-UK D.

Downloaded this today..... Very Final Fantasy'ish in presentation. It's a typical puzzle-battle type of game, based on the mechanics of Bejeweled Twist... As expected, there is some really weird dialogue going on. Must be lost-in-trasnslation where the...

...turned up this morning. :D (crappy iPhone pic) It doesn't 'feel' as solid at the v1 keyboard - and that had a great rubberized coating on it. The display panel doesn't move either, whereas the original one you could adjust - a bit of a pain as the light from the Velux window just...

Right. Not full blown meet or anything this - just a gathering of us lot from Bury and the surrounding area. It seems we are rivalling Warrington for the RS-per-head ratio now! ;) As such - I was thinking of a night after work next week - maybe just for a quick drink and chat - put names to...

I slowed down this morning for a large pool of standing water - in order for the engine not to suck any in. But it seems some has got into the exhaust now and there's a definite sloshing noise on braking. I've left it on a slope in the car park, with the car tilting backwards. But will this...

Might be the first MMOG that I'll try! http://www.joystiq.com/photos/project-v13-fallout-mmo-from-interplay-rumored-screenshots/2452635/ D.

Just pulled up into a petrol station (can't remember which) W-reg Ph.1 D.

...about 30mins ago. Looked decidedly clean. :) D.

How do you view the next 200 records within SQL Server Management Studio? It seems MSoft has limited it to that in order to stop the firehose mode of earlier editions - which is fair enough. But I'm a SQL novice and a little bit stuck - lol! :o D.

...heading northbound after the Oldham junction. Xenons on too. ;) D.

Just how good is it? :) Probably the best £2.99 I've spent in a LONG time. Even though I know jack about football, it's still really enjoyable. Being a cnut in the press conferences - FTW! :) D.

I haven't looked into this much, if at all really. But when Virtualization is enabled within BIOS, does that place a performance overhead on the CPU itself? Just enabled it on a PC here running Windows 7 Pro for the XP Compat mode. I 'think' my PC at home has Virtualization turned on, though I...

I installed Windows 7 this weekend and put Fallout 3 back on. I then logged onto the XBox Live portal to download the DLCs. Both The Pitt and Broken Steel were there for me to download, but Operation Anchorage was being charged at 800 points. I've already bought and completed that one though...

Feck. I thought I'd got them all backed up. But installing Windows 7 afresh has clearly shown that I haven't. :( Most are just a couple of hours I've lost (thank FCUK the Fallout 3 one is still there!) - but it looks like it will be back to the grindstone for some of them. Bollox. :( Anyone...
