    lazy games developers

    I haven't got an issue with most of the bugs and issues - especially if they get addressed with patches and updates. What I do have major gripes with - are when the game fundamentally fails from the get go. An immediate example I can think of was with Rage, when running on ATi cards. At the...

    Call of Duty - Black Ops 2?

    Have you started with the SP campaign yet? Pretty brutal in parts - I'd arguably say it's the most violent of the COD campaigns so far. Still thoroughly enjoyable - and it has several 'endings' too - dependant on your actions during the SP game. Certainly worth a play-through if you have the...

    Why are my brand new tyres going flat :(

    Same here on my previous car. Got the tyres fitted at dinner, and on the way home from work - BANG! A nail (luckily) straight in the middle of the tyre. Phoned the garage up and the guys there repaired it FOC - which was decent of them! Funny the OP mentioned P-Zero Neros. My offside front had...

    Crushed jacking point prevention.

    I don't know if they are common or not, but one tyre place I went to, had heavy-duty rubber bags that were inflated by a compressor. Slid underneath the jacking point like a small pillow and it raised the car high enough to change the wheel in about 10secs. Great idea I thought - but not...

    o2 / sky = out of here

    Either that, or pot luck! :) I've been with Netcom, Freeserve, NTL, Zen and BT and have never had an issue apart from a small outage for maybe an hour. Same with mobiles too. I'm either one of life's lucky b******s with stuff like this - or like you say, it's purely geographic placement. D.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    I do a reformat and reinstall when changing a mere sound card or gfx card. Without question, I'd be doing that with a new motherboard - even if it was the same board, with a new revision! :) D.

    Minecraft Xbox 360

    Nothing major at all - just two GTX460's and a Quadro FX580 chucked in for the Physx role. They do the job ok for now. D.

    Minecraft Xbox 360

    Too right. I'd want it rendered in SLI POWAH rather than some horse web portal.... ;) D.

    Turned Big 40 today

    Jesus. 9 years this year for me and the Clio. Next service is the other biggie - 120k with cambelt (again!) D.

    Minecraft Xbox 360

    Is it a timed free trial? Then unlocked at a later date with a key code? D.

    silver 182 in Hawes today

    +1 - been a while since I've done the Sedbergh/Hawes/Grassington run. Not tried in the Evo yet either - so i think that will be on the cards this summer :) D.

    Minecraft Xbox 360

    Not even tried this yet? I don't know if I'd find it amazing or just a little weird - lol! D.

    Call of Duty - Black Ops 2?

    Lol - I've noticed that. I've not got the space currently to setup my 5.1 speakers, so I'm just using a pair of desktop ones. Mumble, mumble, mumble-something-or-other, then BOOM!!! Not as bad with the headset on, though. D.

    Call of Duty - Black Ops 2?

    Just picked this up today on the PC. I've alwasy liked the COD SP campaigns. Will give it a go over the weekend, I reckon :) D.

    Why are Mazda RX8's so cheap??

    Anybody here into non-realtime graphics rendering?

    Clever idea! Would be interesting to see your results on those dedicated external graphics card units! If the head takes around 5mins on your work PC - what times are we looking at on your old home PC for comparison? D.

    Andy - what hardware are you processing these images on, m8? :) D.

    HP Elitepad, iPad retired. Oh no wait..iPad back.

    Hardly. More like someone who will not take 1% criticism of Bitten Fruit products. Every make and model of device has pros & cons - but some devout Apple fans are beyond comprehension. I know one who even 'collects' the opaque Apple stickers from every device, ffs.... ;) D.

    HP Elitepad, iPad retired. Oh no wait..iPad back.

    Nice, balanced thread by dk. I'm no Apple fanboi by any stretch, but I do have an iPhone and if I went 'all tablet' - an iPad would be what I'd be checking out first. The double-space for a full-stop feature you mention, is great. I use it so much in texting on the iPhone. I think if that was...

    Saints Row : The Third

    16 months on - via Steam ;) Picked it up for £4.99 the other week and with all the additional DLCs, it came to around £7.49. Much prefer it than GTA myself - which to this day, I still can't get into. Totally OTT as others have said, but rewarding all the same. Would like the opportunity to...

    Samsung Galaxy S4

    Went looking at the Samsung's at the local O2 store on Saturday. Looks ok and I've had a go on my mum's new S3 Mini. But there's something I just can't get used to on Android phones - and I can't put my finger on it. I've had an uber-reliable iPhone 3GS for well over three years now and I'm...

    EA Wins the Worst Company of America award by The Consumersit

    They killed my beloved Battlefield series with BF3 - and I doubt it was DICE's direct control that did that. More likely cash-in/unlock/DLC purchasing pressure from EA. For that, they should burn in the infernal pit of Hades. Along with Ubisoft..... ;) D.

    182: irritating raspy sound on harsh acceleration : short video included

    If it is that section and your car is running a standard map, it will probably pop on the over-run when cold. Mine did it all the time until I sorted. :) D.

    Steam - including latest offers

    DCS : Black Shark for £7.99.... http://store.steampowered.com/app/61000/ Looks a little dated now, but probably the heavyweight helicopter flight sim on the PC. The pdf manual would require several trees if printed off. D.
