    Bastion

    Anyone else tried this? I nabbed the demo off Steam and it's really quite good. Very quirky, a bit weird but bizarrely involving. The narrative and music alone are worth downloading the demo for, imo... http://supergiantgames.com/?page_id=242 D.

    Non-Cupped BG 182 - Centre 500 business park, Stoke

    Kept nice and original with non-amphasite alloys, standard bullets and Dale Wintons in the headlamp units. Across the way from our new depot. Nice and shiny too..... then it rained. :( D.

    Unmolested '53 172 Cup - A500 this lunchtime....

    .....unmolested other than the furry dice hanging from the interior mirror. ;) Nice looking motor. D.

    Mac wallpaper - seriously, WTF?

    Right. Without resizing and ratio issues, I'm used to finding a jpg, right-clicking and selecting 'Set as desktop wallpaper.' What process is involved on Macs? I've just spent over 20mins getting lost in System Preferences and attempting to drag and drop the relevant jpg. The first few Google...

    White Mk2 non-Sport, Edenfield Road, Norden

    Really. Do we really need to develop utter horse like this....? http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/sim/streetcleaningsim/review.html?tag=summary%3Bread-review D.

    L4D2 - Helmsdeep survival map

    Some clever sod managed to draft up the Helmsdeep setting from Lord of The Rings and chuck it into L4D2. Complete with the original music from the film, you simply have to hold out against hordes of the undead. Stupid, silly but really quite fun. Apparently (unlike the typical Survival Mode map)...

    Blue RS200 - Darwen, this dinnertime

    A few cars ahead of me looking ultra shiny. :) D.

    Red 197 - Asda Pilsworth yesterday afternoon

    Complete with white alloys - which looked brilliant against the red of the bodywork. Looked like it had a For Sale sticker in the window too. Approx 4pm. D.

    Darwen - the RS capital of the North?

    Crikey. Just been dropping a car off in Darwen and in the space of 15mins, spotted four RS Clios.... **** LJA - silver Ph.1 172 **** GWX - arctic 182 F*** *** (missed the reg unfortunately) - silver 182 L44 *** - silver Ph.2 172 **** LJA - silver Ph.1 172 - again, going the opposite way...

    MacBook Pro (i7 spec) - PSU is red hot?

    Is this normal? I know it's 'expected' to draw a fair amount of current in order to power the CPU and the onboard gfx. But that little white PSU is seriously hot - just about comfortable enough to hold in the palm of your hand. Can anyone else confirm that their PSU is the same? Cheers, D.

    Wings of Prey

    I know a few people have mentioned this - especially as its cropped up in the Steam summer sale. What a great WW2 flying game it really is. I dusted off the 'ol Microsoft Sidewinder FF stick as I was impressed to see that the game had a preset profile for it and it's MUCH better to use than...

    Anyone got a 100mm ATi Crossfire connector cable for sale?

    Rearranging some internals on the PC, but could really do with one of these longer Crossfire cables to connect the two 4890 cards. If anyone has one for sale, please let me know. :) Cheers, D.

    Grey RS200 - Grane Road yesterday evening

    Anyone off here? Would have been just before 6pm. Got a wave back. :cool: D.

    Speed of Steam at the minute?

    Ok, it's probably getting dry-humped to within an inch of its life with the Summer Sale currently being on. But I want to check if anyone else is having probs? I've brought my freshly reformatted PC around to a decent internet connection, but the Steam downloads are still horseshit. When I try...

    LY RS200 - Guide roundabout, Blackburn this morning....

    What's the script with VST files?

    My brother-in-law has been linking up his keyboards to his PC and trying out a few apps in the process. Nearly all seem to support VST plugins, but none that we've come across actually tell you how to install/use them? Most appear to be .dll files which I presume would require registering on...

    A messy afternoon - CV boot clip failure. And the clean-up afterwards...

    Well, the offside-front CV boot has spat it's grease out again, as mentioned in the following thread.... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?583803-CV-boot-clip-failed....-again! Today was aimed at not only fixing it, but also cleaning up the mess it created. :dapprove: On initial...

    Free games thread

    Given the excellent suggestion by Kerry-W yesterday for the open source version of Transport Tycoon Deluxe.... http://www.openttd.org/en/ I thought it would be useful to create a thread that included any other worthy suggestions. Please DO NOT post links to torrent sites for illegal...

    Network tone generators?

    Chaps, Any recommendations for network tone generators over structured cabling? Want to get a pretty decent one, but not a diamond-encrusted all-singing/all-dancing one. Seen a couple on Maplins website, but th reviews have been pretty bad for them. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

    CV boot clip failed.... again!

    For the third time in its life, the off-side front CV boot has let go its grease. Is it more common for this side to fail, or not? Hmmmm. I wonder...... Poll added! D.

    Macshield infection?

    The sister-in-laws iMac seems to be infected with Macshield malware b****cks. As per usual with this kind of crap - the obvious answer is to pay for the 'fix' in order to remove the pages to gay p**n that randomly pop-up (duh - ok) - other than that, it seems quite a recent infection...

    RB182 new multistorey car-park, Bury this morning...

    ....on Level 5 to be precise. :) Only caught a glimpse of it, so at a pinch, it may even have been arctic blue instead. D.

    Network file transfer issue - can't see the wood for the trees!

    Right chaps - this is something silly and frustrating, that clearly is so obvious that I'm not seeing it! At one of our depots, we have the typical 100mbps network setup - 10/100 switch in there, a small file server and about half-a-dozen Windows XP PCs. On one PC, I've picked up on the fact...

    Black gold

    Black gold, as all owners know.... Scratches simply looking at it Shows up every bit of dirt that floats in the earth's atmosphere Is a b**ch to PC (at times) ...and generally looks good, about 2% of the time. I gave the 182 a quick wash before setting off for work yesterday, and even with...

    Lacquer on bullets?

    What lacquer do people put on painted bullets? The last two attempts I've done, it's reacted very badly to the paint on the bullets themselves - both plastic paint and enamel based paint. Any suggestions would be muchos appreciated. Cheers, D.
