"Hooman. You disappoint me so much....." ?

The only real concern I have over modern Macs is with their upgrade paths. I was genuinely shocked to learn that the MBP that my wife bought had its 8GB soldered-on to the motherboard. Whilst I appreciate the 'incentive' to spend more and go for the 16GB version initially, I just think that...

Through and through PC owner here. My wife bought a 2015 MacBook Pro new and to be honest, it never got much use. Not a fault of the MBP itself or the Mac O/S, but the iPad(s) got a lot more daily usage instead. It was a great device - small, light yet really quite powerful and quick with the...

Yep - you also had that strange era where it was 'fashionable' for mid execs to be seen with this kind of game on their over-priced and usually over-spec'd laptop or PC. They had evolved from the casual putting in the meeting rooms to embracing new tech and merging it with their interest in...

Feels weird not having mine on now - and the default strap that comes with it is one of the comfiest I've worn with a watch. Once you try it, the idea of going back to a watch that simply tells the time feels a bit 'backward'. As with other smart watches, tying it to the likes of Apple Pay was...

Found it - I even remember the front cover! https://www.retrogames.co.uk/017698/Commodore/Hole-In-One-by-Mastertronic

I got mine from Renault directly due to the whole bizarre confusion that seems to crop up with driveshafts on these cars. At the time, there was one O/S shaft available, but the N/S one was on back-order from France. I paid WAAAAY over the odds for the pair - pretty sure it was up around the...

Not sure what you're saying there? That I didn't get £80 back from handing them in?

Yep - I even got £80+ refund back on my old shafts if I handed them back to Renault within 10 working days, iirc? The splines on one of mine removed were corroded to hell and the entire driveshaft looked well past its best. They must do a fair amount of work on them to refurb them. I wouldn't...

So.... I downloaded BF1, now with the premium pass applied and upon starting it, noticed that I had 23 battlepacks unopened. Woohoo. Of those, 21 were 'superior' battlepacks and not the usual mundane ones. Opening each one, I got some melee gadget for beating the opposition, another thing that...

One week only I believe. After that, it will be chargeable again.

BF1 Premium Pass for free is now live. Don't forget - this is for one week only - not indefinite!

Switched the control method to the classic '3-click' - much easier to control than pulling the mouse back and trying to push it forward in a straight line!

I remember that one - but it wasn’t that. I’ll see if I can find it later.

I'm pretty sure that this is a niche subject - but does anyone play golf games these days - either on PC or console? I did have Atari Golf on the 2600 going back a silly number of years - which was followed by a title on the C64 which I've forgotten the name of. Besides, I didn't really...

That's what I assume it will be like - and yep, you've hit the nail on the head there.

I don't really understand how the battle royale concept is supposed to work in BFV? So it's the largest map so far used within Battlefield? That's a good point. Though now we have 16 squads in far flung corners of the map and by the very nature of BR - it will be a race to see who can get to...

Great purchase there Ant - good work on it too! Sunflower was such a cracking colour on an RS.

Yeah - whichever way you look at it, it's a good move - unless you've recently paid for the premium pass that is! I might have another look at this with the expansions. I really liked the campaign to this tbh - just the online part did nothing for me.

Not the first time EA has done this either. They did it with the first season pass of Star Wars Battlefront. From experience, you get the majority of people sticking to the same maps. I got the season pass for BF4 and there were several larger maps that I'd really like to have had a dabble on...

Not sure if people have noticed this or not? https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-09-04-battlefield-1-is-having-a-premium-pass-giveaway-next-week

If @Russo is still coming on here - PM him for a set!

Yeah - definitely get it replaced. My original one had a nasty chip and bubbling paint in the opposing corner - identical to what @Brigsy posted above. I booked mine in for a full front-end respray and the bodyshop said it would be much easier and cheaper to simply put a freshly painted new...

Saw you online with this - I am actually tempted to buy it!

I see two issues here. One getting the insurance involved (which unfortunately is going to be very likely) and potentially two - the insurers get wind of where you were heading to. A decent hot hatch conveniently following another (hot?) hatch will get the insurers in a flap. "We're you racing...

Lol - I get the feeling that I’m committing gaming blasphemy by not playing it. I know I’ll like it once I ‘get it’ - but it’s not pulled me in yet...

Space Marine 40K on HB.... https://www.humblebundle.com/store/warhammer-40000-space-marine?hmb_source=humble_home&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_1_layout_index_1_layout_type_twos_tile_index_2

Spotted in the gym car-park earlier - looked very tidy....

I still have 98% of Witcher 3 to do yet!

Andy - going off your X-Wing examples above (which explain what you’re saying very well, btw!) - I’m guessing that there’s no difference in rendering times, if the images were purely monochrome? Is the addition of colour for ray-tracing work, not of much consequence?
