    Gaming industry - an interesting breakdown...

    I can see where you're coming from on that point as well, Andy. There's also a 'mindset' in to what is deemed an acceptable price for software on different platforms. Take GTAV for example. I was quite impressed buying it for £37.99 for the 360 when it first came out as a lot of places were...

    Gaming industry - an interesting breakdown...

    It's the variability of the PC platform that single-handedly wins it for me. The fact that last night I re-downloaded BF4 again with premium access and played around with the graphics to suit my priorities, was great. Of course, a lot of people CBA or don't want to be arsed with such...

    Gaming industry - an interesting breakdown...

    http://hexus.net/gaming/news/industry/81424-gaming-hardware-market-worth-67-billion-2014-pcs-dominate/ Handhelds are such a dinosaur these days. A shame too. I'd much rather game on the go with a handheld than use the limited functionality of a smartphone.

    Battlefield 4

    Yep - various fixes and additions on different platforms. I'm going to be downloading this again on PC - it's been a while since I was on BF4.

    172 ph1 gearbox go bang!

    Cub speaks the truth. Definitely consider doing this at the same time - it would be silly not to. Also, drop and change the gearbox oil on the replacement unit - unless of course decco says that it's recently been swapped out.

    CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

    Looks pretty good - still too chunky like its had too many pies though. And stop/start is added? Whoopee-f**king-do. Good god - I HATE those systems - hopefully it could be deactivated? I get the rage with works cars that have it. If it saved me £1.5k per year in wasted fuel, I'd overlook the...

    [PC/XBone/PS4] Warframe

    Certainly worth revisiting. I never tried it on initial release, but it seems to have had a significant revamp.

    [PC/XBone/PS4] Warframe

    This is worth a look chaps - if you haven't had the chance already. It's a 3rd-person hack & shoot fest based in space (and presumably) - the future. http://store.steampowered.com/app/230410/ The default video is a little weird to show. The majority of the action is on the ground - not in...

    Assetto Corsa.... Where the hell are you guys, you're missing out!

    Looking good Andy! Are you going to charge more for people to obtain a Liquid Yellow than an Iliad or BG one?

    Back in a Scoob

    Just how a Scoob should look imo. Great stance, flaps, correct colour - not OTT.

    Assetto Corsa.... Where the hell are you guys, you're missing out!

    Lake Louise as in Canada??? Maybe I should have bought this when it was cheaper over Christmas?

    Truly lossless audio ripping?

    Thread Revamp This is now beginning to bug me somewhat! I don't know if I'm being a completely OTT audiophile or not, but as downloadable media is far more prevalent to physical media, I really am struggling to find tracks that are of good enough quality. Take a trip to the usual iTunes and...

    SSD and Laptop Screen Questions?

    Yeah - definitely recommend the SSD's - especially as the smaller sized ones aren't a great deal now - 120GB ones are sub £45 inc.VAT. Just make sure before you reformat, check in BIOS that the SSD/SATA interface is switched to AHCI - assuming it supports it. Much better for SSD usage.

    Wireless ISP for Gaming

    Maybe for the short term - limit your online sessions to turn-based games!

    Wireless ISP for Gaming

    Yeah - it's still not good unfortunately. One of directors here is on satellite broadband as he too lives out in the sticks. It's fine for his document transfer and system access - but pretty much useless for his kids when they were online with the XBox. But given what satellite broadband...

    Mountain Lion download to a PC to burn the dmg file?

    Legend m8. I'm on early finish today, but the iMac had just about finished installing by the time I left. I got the dmg file that you uploaded burnt via an iso using Nero and put that into the Mac. Prepped the new 2TB drive (again) then proceeded with the install. Christ - how long does that...

    Excellent m8 - thanks for that. I've triggered off the download now...

    Mountain Lion download to a PC to burn the dmg file?

    It hangs with one second to go on the Yosemite installation - in particular not being able to contact a specific /var folder and some link to an apple.com URL. I'm thinking it might not actually be Yosemite compatible. No worries - I can go into the Purchases section of the App Store and...

    Mountain Lion download to a PC to burn the dmg file?

    Following these steps so far - seems to be going ok (for now) http://www.macworld.com/article/2367748/how-to-make-a-bootable-os-x-10-10-yosemite-install-drive.html

    Mountain Lion download to a PC to burn the dmg file?

    Hi Jack, Shouldn't be a problem - but I'm getting more confounded by the minute! :) I've borrowed my girlfriend's MBP to download the Yosemite image - which I've now got and can see in the Apps folder. However, it has no optical drive, so my logic was to chuck it onto a USB stick, put that onto...

    Hi Jack. If you could upload it - that would be excellent - cheers!

    Mountain Lion download to a PC to burn the dmg file?

    Right - finally got around to having a dabble at this. All I get off the iMac is a flashing folder and question mark. It's connected to the same switch that we WDS all of our PCs from - so it's definitely an active connection and can access the internet. I suspect that the Mac can't use this...

    Can someone spec me the best gaming laptop :)

    A good one from Gigabyte - slightly out of your budget though! :) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-029-GI

    Realtime Graphics / Game Engines

    Good stuff Andy! I guess like you say, to be truly believable - the resources required would be vast and very expensive - probably nothing like the single studio I mentioned earlier! If they did get to the stage of a purely generated actor in a believable 'world' - I'd guess a whole stream of...

    bad day replacing the brakes on my daughters 1.5 dci

    Frustrates the hell out of me with bad design like this. I know they aren't a key structural component - but the grub screws are made of cheese. Why oh why.....!?

    Realtime Graphics / Game Engines

    Very impressive! It actually led onto a discussion in the office here. If a simple apartment looks that good now - what about in a generation's time? Could we conceivably have it where ALL soap operas, documentaries and films could be purely green-screened and real actors simply perform on/in a...

    New country! New whip! (Jap content)

    No, no, nope! That certainly doesn't need any spacer action going on there. The proportion and 'fit' of the wheels in the arches looks spot-on to me. I'm never a fan of seeing the outer rim of tyre stick out beyond the bodywork on any car. What you have above is just fine. :cool:

    Clio 182 front wiper sizes?

    I get both the same size on mine - better glass clearance and they fold out and sit back correctly without interfering with one another.

    Can someone spec me the best gaming laptop :)

    Do you really need a gaming laptop though? They are massively compromised against the likes of a desktop. Get a decent one and they are outclassed in a very short space of time. Again, get a decent one, and its on par with the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier in terms of weight and size. Finish that...
