Erm. Another hour and a half into it - I'm still awaiting for the 'wow' moment to arrive. I despise the insta-spawn of the enemy. For three times on the trot, I wiped out three troops of inbound green knobheads, only to venture a little too far on the bit of map I was on - and that became the...

I was a bit too eager in the sale. I bought it when it was down to £24.99 (I think) and then the following bloody day, it dropped to £17.99 - typical! I'll probably have another bash on it later today when I'm back home. D.

Put three hours into on the PC this afternoon. Early impressions are very good, though as with the vast majority of 3rd-person perspective games, the camera angle can become infuriating at times. The control input I find to be a little haphazard too. It's one of them that neither works...

Spotted the LAS-mobile in a much, much cleaner state than mine in Bury, this afternoon. D.

Lol - standard Cookie Issue, iirc. Just got this on the Steam sale - not a huge saving that some of them can be, but 25% off is better than nothing. D.

I bet those SSDs alone set you back a tidy penny!

Cheers! So far, it's not bugged me as much as it did before. I'm all for change, but previously I saw hardly any benefit for that change over Windows 7. I'll see how I persevere with it! D.

Made this a sticky - will be useful to have up near the top... D.

Greenlight definitely had the edge when I had both the 182 and Evo insured. I'm still insured with them just for the Clio now as the Evo is sold. Neil is very helpful and gets back to you quickly with any questions. D.

Watched this yesterday myself - brilliant! Imagine the size of balls needed to physically race that back in the day?! D.

Got Win 8.1 finally installed at the weekend. What tricks & tips are people using on a daily basis? I would like to get some popular keyboard short-cuts memorised - along with shifting that pointless start menu. I'm using a traditional monitor - not a touch screen, thanks. ;) D.

Sounds good - but it depends what's on with work for me. I might be at one end of the country or the other? :) D.

Tbf, I've just got used to mine being out. It's not as crazy as yours, but a mildly cold day can easily see -2C/-3C appearing on the dash. It's been like that since new - and never really bothered me. D.

Windows 8 with me is like eating olives. No matter how many times I go back to them - thinking I'll like them, they just end up tasting rank! ;) In all seriousness though - I keep saying I'll use Windows 8 more. But every time I come back to a reformat at home, Windows 7 automatically wins. The...

As Matt says, GT6 is certainly good enough for you to gain track knowledge and what sections of track are coming up. Personally, I've spent the most amount of time on the 'Ring within Race '07 on the PC - but GT6 is pretty faithful to it also. D.

^^^ - Malwarebytes is definitely a good place to start. It resolved all the issues we had with one users' laptop here. D.

Love the shape on these - BMW got the coupe (especially the top end with twin pipes) just spot on right. I think silver for some reason works especially well on them. Nice purchase :)

More worringly - you're still using Vista!

http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-community-vs I don't use it myself, but I know a few people out there who do. Might be of use to some? D.

I've never owned an Android based phone and was vehemently anti-Apple for a long time. I'd had Nokias for over twelve years before making the switch to a 3GS and never really looked back. I'm on a 5 now and will probably consider a 7 once those finally arrive. Tbh, it's the whole iOS way of...

Exactly. There's a spark plug tip knocking about somewhere - or by some bloody good luck, it cleared the exhaust valves and got spat out? Are those injectors new? D.

Same here m8. Played all three from beginning to end. I did think ME2 was slightly better than ME3 - but the latter was still a cracking game. Definitely looking forward to ME4. D.

I agree - if they want them, those alloys will be gone. One of the reasons why I would never spend silly amounts of money on alloys. At best, locking wheel-nuts are a mere deterrent. D.

Lol - I guess I shouldn't be. Just seems even more of an insult when I upgraded an iMac's memory from 4 to 8GB, only yesterday. Yet on other areas of their product range - you can't upgrade? Petty. Really petty.

Is the external drive caddy itself USB3.0 compliant too? I'm guessing it will be with a drive of that size in it? D.

That's a clever feature. But are the loading times actually that long? I will probably get this at some point - I've always been a sucker for the COD campaigns..... D.

That should be fine then. I thought you specifically needed 3.0 by the sounds out it (which is brilliant if you get compatible devices, BTW). Try using 32GB and 64GB USB3.0 pen drives on a regular basis. You'll be horrified at how slow USB2.0 is after that! D.

Protecting the paint leads on the £million question. Would you respray the paint first (making it immaculate) - then wrap the car afterwards?? I guess if money was no object, we'd all do that. :) D.

That won't work. Well, it will - but you'll only have USB2.0 support coming out the end of that cable, if your mobo doesn't natively support USB3.0. The cheapest option is to buy a USB3.0 PCIe card - and if you need it to run around the front, nab a USB3.0 extension lead. Something like...

Excellent, balls-out purchase. Interesting that such old school technology mixed with stunning looks is a recipe for increased value. Even more so with a car that is deemed to 'potentially' have huge bills. On paper - people would be mad to go for something like this. Yet it's what the vast...
