    The Gaming Thread (General Gaming Jibba Jabba)

    I'm pretty sure that will be on the cards, m8. Given that the game formula is clearly popular - it uses a recognised universe and it would principally be a reskin of existing units. I was a bit pissed at missing out on the free Chaos Warriors DLC with the recent game. I had until 6pm GMT to...

    Clio 182 no brakes

    Flol - sphincter-tensing moment! This is the kind of thing that people would say "....that's what you get by buying a Renault". Really? Heading for 12 years of age and 140k+ miles? I'm sure many other makes of car would be similar.

    I'm actually looking forward to playing a recent collection of games - GTAV, Witcher 3, Elite Dangerous, Total War : Warhammer, DOOM, etc in all their highest settings! :)

    Clio 182 no brakes

    Must be an age related thing. My hard pipe had rusted through a few months back. I'm pretty impressed they've lasted that long in amongst the road spray and other crap underneath, tbh.

    Haha! They heeded your call, m8!

    The Gaming Thread (General Gaming Jibba Jabba)

    That's one of the reasons why I prefer PCs. I spotted that GOG were offering Master of Magic for pence the other day - a game I played loads of at uni over 20 years ago. Pay the pence - download it - and it just works. Obviously there's dubious shelf-life in a game of this age - but at least I...

    Jesus. I'll be lucky to get mine before Christmas then! :smile:

    Yeah - same one I ordered. Scan's saying the 17th as an ETA - though I'll believe it when I see it. Probably 2 cards will be delivered to fulfill 50 back orders!

    The replacement G-Skill memory arrived on Friday. Put it in and it worked fine. Must have just been Sod's Law that my initial purchase had a dodgy stick.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PC, XBOX ONE, PS4)

    I've normally got away with it on the better titles. Nothing worse than playing through a very good to excellent game - complete it, then an expansion comes out. I'd much rather have the full suite to begin with.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PC, XBOX ONE, PS4)

    Same here. I've had the core game pretty much since the day it was released, but not played it. Just this morning, I ordered the Expansion Pass so I've nabbed both of those DLCs. Hopefully should look particularly good on the 1080 I ordered this morning too! :cool:

    Jay Leno's garage

    Exactly. You get the impression that turning up to his pad in a 1979 s**t-brown Austin Maxi, would still spark his interest. It has a motor. And wheels = he's onboard.

    Jay Leno's garage

    Thread bump. Recently subscribed to his YT channel - and what a bloke he is. No pretentious crap - no fancy setups and surrounding armies of sycophants. Just him with his clear-to-see, infectious enthusiasm for cars. Definitely a bucket-list person I'd like to meet! Anyways, anyone heard of one...

    Witcher fans in the office can't understand how you've got to that Level m8. Any screenies to prove them otherwise! :)

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PC, XBOX ONE, PS4)

    Kind of glad that I never got further in Witcher 3 than look out of the balcony. With the DLCs appearing to add much to the core game - I thinking setting off with an unbiased/unplayed expectation is going to be a good thing!

    The bloody Asus Strix 1080 I was looking at has gone up by £30 on pre-order. Feckers. Might look at the EVGA one instead.

    I wish mine did m8 - the only issue I've had so far! :) I really can't get over just how much BIOS's have improved in recent years. Complete chalk & cheese difference.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    It did it right out of the box, m8. Everything set to standard and without XMP activated. It wouldn't even get to BIOS with that stick inserted. Without, it was fine. It came with BIOS 0403 and I even updated that to the latest one - it behaved exactly the same. Code 55 regardless of where that...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    First round of the PC build done. No cable management or tidying done yet, but the biggest single issue I've had is with one of the G-Skill sticks appearing to be DOA. I've tried different combinations within the slots and the PC hangs with Q-Code 55 whenever this one stick is inserted. If I...

    She's gone!

    Both responses above represent each half of my brain with my VI. Unless you keep a decent amount of money to one side, there will always be something that eats into your wallet with these. That said, they are an immensely capable car - even today - and its definitely a notch on my Car Owning...

    Doom!

    As Sharky says - as long as you enjoy them, that's the main thing. I personally like to get the balance between a challenge and it being fun. Slogging away at a section/enemy/puzzle that has to have the perfect combination of moves in a set time, just annoys me. That's memory muscle over fun, to me.

    Haha! She knows m8! Tbh - I said it would be circa £900, so I came in a few quid under. Bugger. I forgot to add the G.Skill memory from Amazon in that.....

    Drove home last night, via Scan. Came away £865 lighter. And I've still got the 1080 to fund when that comes out.... ;)

    Yep - one side snapped. Got both replaced yesterday. Night & day difference on pulling the handbrake now!

    Doom!

    Yep - no way is mine that smooth! Tbf - I've not made those adjustments you suggested earlier, so I'll give that a go first.

    Handbrake lever goes snap...

    Hmmm. Not sure what's going on here. It still works, but is definitely more slack on the lever. Could one side at the rear have disconnected or snapped, even? Might take it in to the garage. I'm concerned that it might stay on!

    I noticed the difference in performance between the two sizes as well. Any idea why? Not just a marketing up-sell, is it?

    Handbrake lever goes snap...

    Just pulled up now and applied the handbrake and.... snap. Up came the lever with a bit of tension applied to the rear wheels. From the picture, it's not that easy to see where the the linkage has snapped. Is it easy enough to replace the whole ratchet and lever assembly? Or a proper...
