C&C Zero Hour was the pinnacle of the series for me. Tried it again earlier in the year as its tied to my Origin account. It hasn't unfortunately, aged that well. I spent about 15 minutes on it then gave up. The whole genre has moved on somewhat.

Lol - I think I finish a stage with my face about six inches from the monitor too. I don't realise that I'm leaning further and further forward!

Me too - can't imagine what this would be like with Vive or Oculus Rift support! :)

Ohhh....... :cool: Due for a 2018 release at the minute.

Same here on my 5. Did the 15 min walk to the barbers on Saturday and had about a 10 min phone conversation in that. Got to the barbers and the battery was on 54%. Went to check my email and the phone just switched off. Complained that it needed charging and I left it about ten minutes while...

Your steering inputs are very smooth on a pad - I just can't match those with a XBOne pad....

Well, I'm a VR convert. :cool: Admittedly, VR is not suitable for a good selection of games - the likes of RTS's would be a little bit pointless, unless they were genuine table-top replacement games. We set one up here - running on a new PC with an i7 6700K and GTX1080. The Labs...

Yep - it's very easy to become accustomed to tree trunks. It's the boulders and rocks on the side of the road that are the nasty little sods!

A bit long in the tooth now, but worth it for free. Through GOG.com.... https://www.gog.com/game/neverwinter_nights_diamond_edition

Very tough. At times you can't see the answer when it's staring you right in the face! The hero selection is a tricky one - but I love the fact that you can create four completely distinct characters that all have their own pros and cons. Have you got to the 'frog' section yet where they can...

Have you got a video of the noise at all?

You set some great stage times, m8! Just had a dabble on the career mode earlier on the One pad and you're way ahead in the 'check friends' standings. Once you get into a flow, even on a pad it feels good.

Did you have the belts replaced by someone reputable? These RS Clios are very particular about having the belts setup correctly. I was going to suggest the belt that hangs off the alternator - mine did the same noise after a jet-wash, but would quickly go away after 5 seconds or so. The noise...

Jesus - look at that time - I WILL NOT be as bad in December! :) Can we have the same car but at Donny or Oulton next?

Easy. The AI was using the Turini Mod, complete in amphasight colour.... ;)

Well worth it for that price - great find!

It's a shame the Atari Jaguar never caught on. I've still got my Atari Lynx in the attic at my parents house somewhere! I was in awe of that handheld in the very early 90s. I recall a few mates had the original GameBoy and the Lynx just utterly trounced it in terms of game appearance and...

Bloody hell. How do you 'recover' those cills? Aren't they too far gone for fabrication? Looks awesome otherwise. :up:

Should this be moved to PC and Console?

It's really tricky at times - frustratingly so. I'm totally stuck at a point that I'm currently saved at but I'm reluctant to Google the answers. The second game is a massive improvement over the first. There are sections of proper genius in this game, very reminiscent of the feelings I had...

Cracks me up when you see the world record on time trials in games at like 12 seconds or something. I recall the DiRT games being particularly affected by glitching - in DiRT3 I saw one stage down to 6 seconds for the world record. I loaded the ghost car and the fecker just disappeared after...

56.209 with a pad and auto box' so far. Pathetic. Just cannot steer for s**t with a pad!

Some of the PC games I dug out over the weekend. Definitely an era never to be repeated - certainly in a mainstream way, anyway. The packaging, the manuals, the accessories - really only matched by the high-end specialist collections these days. One of the downsides with the market trends of...

Wish I'd done the same with the Evo at Anglesey tbh. Rather than having four of those paddle-steamer sized 18s rotating with a shitload of weight, I bet 15s would have transformed it on track. Interestingly, the JDM Evo VI RS came with 15" steelies straight out of the factory. Arch gap galore -...

I think the lesson learnt here is to say b****cks to any form of bullet-drop, etc - and simply pull the trigger when the target is in the crosshairs. He hardly ever leads the target at distance either. I'm going to try the same - can't be any worse than my attempts and adding real-world effects...

I'm thinking Amazon Instant Video or Netflix could make a series about the levels of fun you have with car ownership. I'm pretty sure you've pissed off somebody in a previous life. Or have returned from the future, thinking all electric cars are good, and now the Man-Spec cars are failing on...

Interesting view. I'd never feel that to be honest. Those who wouldn't know, probably wouldn't even care what it was. If you're driving the genuine article, all concerns of other people's opinions and thoughts go out the window for me. They are obviously entitled to have their own views on the...

Respect to anyone who can get decent results with the headlamps on the car, with the 3M kit. Tried it twice now and at best, the results have been 'meh'. Such a difficult light to polish consistently with a rotating drill bit on highly curved headlight. I really should remove them and do it...

Wouldn't the standard non-RS V6 simply be too lethargic to be driven in anger? Although no VTEC, the F4R is pretty rev-happy. I would have thought the V6 would be more designed with torque in mind and for cruising on motorways. Then with the added weight over the front axle, the nimble response...

So true - absolutely bang on. Usually they ride their brakes on anything resembling a downhill slant of tarmac - and my god, if a truck or a bus comes the other way, then it's an immediate drop from 21mph to 7mph. If I time it wrong on the morning commute, I can end up following a woman in her...
