    Wolfenstein - The New order

    Lol - I just got annoyed with the section where you escape the jail and have to shut-down the electric sentries in turn. I hate crappy sections in games where you're so under-powered (I have a broken pipe and FA else) - and you HAVE to do it the game wants you to do it. Slightest noise and...

    Windows 10 Now live!

    Installed it last night - zero issues so far. It's everything that Windows 8 isn't (thankfully) and appears to have the look and feel of an evolution of Windows 7. Really liking it from the small amount I've used!

    My Evo VI

    Little tip - see the edging strip on the top of the rear arch? Keep it clean - not obsessively, but certainly every time you wash it - wipe it down. If that needs replacing, the OEM part is silly expensive for what it is. They quite often perish - go a yellowy colour, or peel away from the...

    First french car ive owned - clio 182

    You're correct! My mistake. :tonguewink: Down near Aberdare? We have a works unit on Aberaman Industrial Estate. Some good roads around there - especially when you head further into the valleys. I'm loathe to come back up north via the motorways now - they are just too boring!

    Windows 10 Now live!

    All about the DX12 for me. Anything else is superfluous - so long as it's NOT Windows 8.

    First french car ive owned - clio 182

    Nice motor! Being the Cup version, you'll miss out on a few things like xenons, but the difference between the 182 'full fat' and the 182 Cup were no way as significant as with the 172 and 172 Cup. The colour looks amazing when clean and in the sun - and it sounds like you've got a looked-after...

    To 200, or to 197, that is the question.

    Genuinely a tough call based on those pictures for me. I wouldn't really know which way to turn. The spoiler on the 197 is essential imo - it looks overlooked, bare, and far too plain without one. If I ever got a 197 without one on, it would be the first thing to get retro-fitted.

    [PC/XBone/PS4] Warframe

    Just found out how to build additional rooms and facilities for the Clan Dojo. n00b. :blush:

    The FRS has gone...

    The FRS would be preferable for me, I'm afraid - but I understand the wanting to change. A White FRS left the trade counter at work this week - pretty much burbling its way out of the car park. Then it had some beans given to it on the road and the sound was like it was ripping the very air...

    [PC/XBone/PS4] Warframe

    The other side of 200 hours in now. Still got loads to learn about it and I've yet to unlock the rest of the planet locations. Switched to the Valkyr Warframe, having forma'd the Nekros four times over - going from Rank 0 to 30 (the maximum) - I thought it was time for a change! Having been...

    Has to be the VI in terms of looks!

    GSync graphics cards and monitors

    I'm running at 59hz at the minute with a plan to go for one of these Asus ROG monitors at the end of the year. I think I'll notice a difference! :)

    Clio 172 1400cc Supercharged

    I think I do - weren't there several engine variants on the same stand at the time? What about that rotary'd Mk.2 Escort? Don't the Mazda lumps max out in size to about 1.3litre in standard form? Boosted to hell, they might make a good alternative to this project!

    Newbie to the renaultsport thing...

    Kind of. ;) Welcome aboard!

    Clio 172 1400cc Supercharged

    Interesting concept! Would make for a very unique build.

    My Evo VI

    Yep and yep. TME's are where the smart money goes - so long as it's a good one. Ironically, the worst Evo I ever drove was a blue TME - the owner was smoking the crack-pipe too as he thought the TME 'additions' justified the hyper-price in his dog of an Evo. They do however, make a much better...

    My Evo VI

    Couldn't disagree more. I like driving looking out the window(s) - not admiring the additional premium that I've paid for some fancy dash. Never picked a car based on the interior and I never will - but horses for courses is what makes car ownership for different people, so interesting! :)...

    My Evo VI

    Love the black NACA duct - wish I'd had that. I take it those are 18s that it's running on? Would love to have a bash with the Jap OEM VI RS steelies in a teeny 15". The arch gap would be horrendous, but the acceleration would be even more crazy! How's the under-side? Is it showing any signs...

    My Evo VI

    It does a job. End of. It's like complaining that a Black & Decker hammer drill's grip looks 'too functional' :wink: I had an Evo IX interior in mine, if that's who you were thinking of? OP - did you buy it through Gaz @ CPP? He's a legend with Evos - knows the things inside-out.

    STOLEN THIS MORNING OSWESTRY

    Audi's are prime targets - we've had two attempts on them (different cars) at our apartment block in 12 months. They've got that bad 'situation' where they are numerous on the road, so they don't stand out in traffic or being parked up - but they also carry significant financial value. Pretty...

    Project cars

    I do feel sorry for the developers in a way. Long gone are the days of shoving a game onto a small tape or single disk - games are immense in size now - GTAV is 65GB or so, as an example. There are months, if not years of work that goes into all the variables within the game - add to that the...

    GSync graphics cards and monitors

    I honestly have no idea what the hell R* were/are playing at with GTAV and multi-GPU setups. Sure, it's still a slightly niche area - but it's 2015 now. And it's a demanding game graphically. Hello??? Anyone think of optimising it for multiple graphics cards? I find it utterly ludicrous in this...

    Elite sequel - Elite : Dangerous

    Thankfully, I dodged that hit. It was discounted on Steam and I had a couple of quid randomly left on my account. I ended up paying about £23 for it, so it's not too bad. I'm more annoyed at paying £39.99 for GTAV and it running like dogshit, unless I turn off features on my PC that are supposed...

    Elite sequel - Elite : Dangerous

    Well the tiny amount that I've put into it - was immediately marred by the worrying 'accuracy' of the area of convergence. Anyone with the slightest g33kdom regarding military planes of old will realise that the wing-mounted guns were canted inwards to a slight degree - so that the bullets...

    Project cars

    I tried it literally for about 30secs with the keyboard - and about the same with the 360 controller. Both were utter horse for me. The Logitech G25 was made for this game - it really does transform it with a wheel & pedals combo.

    Fallout 4

    No idea why I loved FO3 but couldn't get into NV at all. I think I missed out there - even though it's still sat there in my Steam account, ready to be played.

    Clio II Alternators

    Well bearing in mind that Renault themselves got the alternator wrong on mine (twice) - I'd say it was a very good question to ask! I don't actually know myself - though I'm sure someone will be along with the answer....

    Mechanical keyboard appreciation...

    You're right on the model number - I've just flipped it over and checked :wink: If the switches are physically coloured to match their description - you're right on that also. They are indeed black. Really liking it tbh - my Logitech G15 at home feels a bit flimsy and wishy-washy in comparison.

    Mechanical keyboard appreciation...

    The old clunker at work. Disassembled, put back together, been washed, chucked in the dishwasher, scrubbed, had cleaning agents poured it - the list goes on. Bloody tank quality it is! :) Noticed an increasing number of small product stickers coming in with the kit I buy in - graphics cards...

    Battlefield 4

    Still need to get back into this. Warframe is still taking up the majority of my shooting interest at the minute. A bit of a waste too - as I bought the Premium Access key when it was in the sale and have hardly touched the bloody thing! Some great memories on this when it first came out too -...
