    Half-Life 2: Revisited

    I'm looking forward to HL3 as well - but they will really have to pull out all of the stops on this one. Think about it - the previous games in the series have been voted almost god-like in their presentation and story-telling. Just how do Valve carry on from that? Awesome graphics simply don't...

    Black 197 - Lord Sheldon Way, Ashton-under-Lyne

    Would have been just before 5pm this evening. Came out of the Car People/Screwfix section and went off at the next roundabout at the retail park. I'm assuming it was a 197 - I was several cars back, so could only catch a glimpse of it. :) ​D.

    Steam - including latest offers

    BL2 is so worth it for £10.99, even if I have got a little tired of it. Much, much better than the original game, imo.... ​D.

    Rear ended write-off :(

    I'll have first dibs on the front bumper, if it's intact?! :) ​D.

    Help - 182 problems!

    I had the exact same problem with the engine light coming on - the tailpipes getting all sooty and a noticeably bad mpg given that I was doing the same work commute. Took it to Reno who diagnosed the upstream sensor as being to blame. Got the usual £high-price to replace it and asked the...

    Gutted Newbie!

    Gutted for you m8 - I really am. Just when you were getting her fettled up to running right as well.... :( D.

    Going from 182 to 197/200

    ^^^ - very good quote! You know you're doing triple figures in the Clio - no excuses. The Evo can be a bit too sublime at times where you think "s**t - I'd better slow down"! D.

    How would it IRL if the thread is in the PC & Console folder? ;) ​D.

    Payday: The Heist

    Hmmmm. Should I bite? Nah - Friday afternoon time and wrapping up to head for home.... D.

    Payday: The Heist

    It's ok-ish. My m8 sent me a Steam key months back as he bought the 4-player co-op pack. It's like a poor-man's Left 4 Dead - except the zombies are now law enforcement. They respawn bloody quickly too. At times, it's quite difficult to work out what the current objective is - but I'm sure that...

    Clean RB and Evo 8 FQ340

    Flaps are compulsory on all Evos..... with the metal being made of cheese, the paint requires all the protection it can get! D.

    Multiple SkyHD boxes - connection to phone lines?

    Excellent m8 - thanks for the quick response. I think given the relatively small price difference between the two - I think I'll suggest the genuine Sky units. Cheers, ​D.

    Multiple SkyHD boxes - connection to phone lines?

    I was thinking that might be the most straight-forward method. Any idea how long in-between connections the Sky boxes can go for? If its several months, it's probably worth it. If its several days, maybe not. :) Any links to those adapters m8? Cheers, ​D.

    Multiple SkyHD boxes - connection to phone lines?

    Chaps, Not too sure which way to head with this. I've had a request to sort out connections for eight SkyHD boxes to the BT phone line, that they all seem to require? One box is easy enough to sort - but exactly how could eight separate boxes be connected in the same property but in different...

    Race engined, big turbo TTRS build.

    Haha - epic! You sir, are clearly winning at life! :cool: ​D.

    Best way to waste 40k

    ^^^ - doesn't that just sum up the purchasing decision for this Golf buyer too? Stick a Dacia badge on the boot. After they say "WhoTF is that?" while pointing at the logo, next they will simply laugh at you when saying that it costs £20k. Double it and add a VW sticker and the world is alright...

    Race engined, big turbo TTRS build.

    Instant reaction? I despise the switch - I've a proper soft-spot for those Leon's and your's looked a beauty. To swap that for a white TT of all things?? Ewwwwwww.... ;) That said, I simply cannot fault your commitment (and pockets) to your ultimate goal. It beats simply tweaking a Scooby or...

    Wargame: Airland battle

    That's intriguing. I didn't like the original at all - more a grind-game with a sprinkling of units, than a 'true' RTS in my mind. It was the complete opposite end of the Supreme Commander spectrum, where the player churning out the highest quantity of units in the game - wins. It had a lot of...

    [PC] - Company of Heroes 2

    Noticed you popped online though Steam the other night, m8. I'll have a co-op with you when this comes out. :) D.

    COD: Ghosts

    Bring on the next-gen consoles, is all I can say. It will do nothing other than increase the complexity and presentation of the cross-platform titles (which appear to be 99.8% of the market these days). Better console hardware means we can finally get around to shifting our PC's out of 2nd...

    clio sport starting problem

    Could well be this. But the lights on the dash didn't exactly go mental as you described, more it appeared that the car is 'dying' from lack of power. A good test for the alternator is to put your wipers on. Do they arc across the screen really slowly - even on full speed? If it is the...

    Saints Row IV

    No.3 was a nice surprise for me. I never got into the later GTA games, and I thought SR3 would have just been another alternative. I prefer it tbh. Totally OTT and quite funny to boot. Will be keeping an eye on the reviews of SR4. D.

    Turning the tables on game pirates!

    Ohhh - dodgy ground! ;) You might not like a game or app that you download - but there's a good chance that one of your mates will. Then you'll pass it on to him/her, FOC. The knock-on issue now is with bandwidth vs. download size. I know people who purely go for blu-ray editions of films to...

    Turning the tables on game pirates!

    I see what you did there. And I whole-heartedly agree.... ;) Origin is the army of Mali in comparison to Steam's US carrier-based Navy of Whoopass.... D.

    Turning the tables on game pirates!

    Lol - good find Andy! Without sounding all holier-than-thou - I haven't downloaded anything illegal in years. Steam makes my purchases so easy these days and I'm still an 'ol stickler for audio CDs, rather than a digital download. And as for films? Perleeeese. Having a film that has clipping...

    lazy games developers

    Solely worth it for the wing-sticks in the game. Many an FPS has attempted a throwing weapon that usually fails miserably. In Rage though, it is epic - slicing through several enemies in some Blade-esque type of encounter. I actually preferred using those than most of the firearms in the game...

    RB 182 - Blackburn KFC near the hospital, this evening....

    Parked up - looking clean :) D.

    [PC] - Company of Heroes 2

    Yep - pre-ordered mine on the first day that you could! :) Must admit, I prefer the 'flow' of the first game so far. Hopefully that might change with the full game though. D.

    Dead Island Riptide - Worthy Of Our Time?

    I'll be staying well clear of this, short of it appearing at 99p on Steam. The first game was an utter mess. A ludicrous, pathetic leveling-system of enemy zombies in single player, where they magically rose in toughness as your own stats progressed. A foot-stomp generated 6-times the damage of...
