First off - MASSIVE kudos to those poor victims of modern society who sit in Excel on a daily basis. I think I would prefer to chew on house-bricks than to spend any length of time trying to work out and at least begin to comprehend the logic used in formulas. I'm pretty sure that there's a...

This same thought has cropped up a few times over the years with regards to my 182. It's well into its twilight years now - and with regular posts of 1*2s being broken, scrapped or simply sold for peanuts - I've repeatedly thought about the revamp route. Why? Well I have a lot of personal...

Went to Euro Car Parts for a battery and there was a BG182 parked on the corner near there. CS.net sticker on the rear window too.

Must be something that I've done, but for the life of me, I can't think what. Yesterday I replaced the drivers side xenon bulb after it had stopped working. Naturally I did both headlights to ensure that the beam colour matched. I did notice that on the driver's side in particular, the...

Might be one to look out for earlier next year. Really liked the original game on the PC. http://dirtrally2.com/

Coming up to around 10 hours into this so far - approximately with a 50/50 split between online and single player mode. https://strangebrigade.com/en I think the easiest way to describe this a merger between the likes of Left 4 Dead 2, with an Indiana Jones background and setting. Essentially...

Chaps, Just wondered if the issue I've noticed this morning is more likely to be the ballast unit than the bulb itself? My man-mechanics brain thinks that if the bulb was faulty, it wouldn't come on at all? When I switched the headlights on, the driver's side xenon illuminates for about a...

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...

My wife and I managed to get some hospitality tickets for the latest round of the BTCC through her work. Booked a local(ish) hotel for the Saturday and Sunday nights, with the plan to experience the full race day on the Sunday. Apart from the nightmare journey down with part of the M6 being...

Just thought it might be worth adding your favourite applications and utilities that you use regularly, but maybe aren't that familiar to a lot of other people. It goes without saying, please do add anything illegal, silly or inappropriate. It would be useful to get a little list going that we...

Managed to get up close and sit in this beauty over the weekend. ? In the confines of the garage, firing it up sounded like it was ripping Planet Earth a new arsehole. Raw, loud, raspy and very overpowering. It's got a multitude of options on the extras list, which is scary when the base price...

Having made a total (of, iirc?) 1,611 days in alpha - Wreckfest finally got its release day. There was a large update yesterday, which I've yet to try it - though the beta version before was great in itself. The driving mechanics are very simple - far more Destruction Derby than anything...

I hadn't heard about this DLC being released? @SharkyUK - probably one for you mate!

Looking quite good so far - even with the slightly ropey infantry animation. Naturally it won't have the player base of the upcoming Battlefield V, but from what I've seen - I'd much rather invest some time in this. http://postscriptumgame.com/

It's been knocking about in the background for a couple of months, but the spiritual successor to Theme Hospital is looking quite good. I wonder if they will cover more recent medical treatments such as breast augmentation and lip fillers??

Chaps, Just after some feedback regarding cabling for a 5.1 setup for the TV. I've bought a 2nd system over the weekend and tested it, which works fine. Although I had some longer cables with it, I might need just a little longer on the other three. The sub connects all the satellite speakers...

This has been a bit of a turnaround game for me. Despite my dislike of stealth-type games, I've been a fan of all of the previous titles in the series and played them all through to completion. When I realised that SE4 was set in WW2 Italy, it was a bit of disappointment to be honest. That...

I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person here who has several recent games that are almost, yet not quite finished. Is it because you’ve switched to something else? Maybe picked up the newer sequel of the game in question and you’ve giving up on the original? Maybe the part you’re on was just...

Shelley and I were lucky enough to get an invite from our nephew Gus Greensmith to have a passenger ride in a Fiesta R5. We got up to the Greystoke area early yesterday and was presented with a very focused M-Sport setup, consisting of Gus's car and another - along with engineers, mechanics and...

Ph.1 172 in silver - X433 CUJ at Cheesefest at Bowlers yesterday afternoon.

Surprised there's no thread about this already - having been in alpha and beta release for quite some time. https://unknownworlds.com/subnautica/ Essentially its a survival game - which traditionally, I'm a little wary of. The frustrations of trying to do XYZ while the issues of ABC are still...

Chaps, At one of our production sites, we're looking into buying a new PC that's sole focus is on using SolidWorks 3D CAD. It will be used for the designs of various tooling and machinery bits - allowing the engineers to make amendments and suggestions on, etc. This naturally points me to the...

Chaps, Have you any suggestions for converting standard WAV files to low-spec ULAW format, for use with phone systems? I used to have an app that did it really well, but it's been a while since I used it and can't recall what its called. I don't mind paying for it either - it doesn't have to...

https://free.ubisoft.com/promotions/world_in_conflict/12/ Looks like Ubi will be giving away Assassin's Creed 4 : Black Flag between the dates of the 12th and 18th December too.

Just over another day left on this, I think.... https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly?hmb_campaign=2017_xcom_free_banner_monthly_discount&hmb_source=2017_free_game_xcom_the_burea&hmb_medium=banner

Just got back to the ferry terminal now and saw it near the entrance.

Anyone tried this slightly bonkers, yet strangely fun game? Less than a fiver on Steam at the minute and is still in alpha... http://diatomicgames.com/sword-with-sauce/

Until the 13th November.... https://freetrial.ubisoft.com/promotions/watch-dogs-1/8/

Managed to get a couple of passes into the M-Sport section at Deeside over the weekend - mainly to support my nephew in WRC2 (Gus Greensmith) and to get some idea of what goes on behind the scenes. Inside the hospitality place... Ogier's service bay... Much effort needed to transplant...
