True. As much as I prefer the previous incarnation, I don't think Microsoft had much of a choice in not going ahead with Windows 8 and it's touch-screen bias. Everything is heading that way. I think one aspect that is bugging Scone is the impact the likes of Win8 has on gaming. ANYTHING other...

Another issue with Windows 8 - it sends my Logitech G15 keyboard into disco-inferno mode! Accidently catch a key on the keyboard and the whole board lights up and flickers like a b**ch - even though the PC is physically switched off. That issue doesn't happen with Windows 7. Must be some...

Very true! But after 16 years in IT now - I'm getting a little tired (and bored, tbh) of solving an issue or a problem and having to read up on 6 other underlying issues to it, beforehand. IT (to those who have no knowledge) is a thankless task. Very few non-IT people will turn around and...

I'd recommend that you get a 'little' amount of focus early on - unless you've got a burning desire to head down a specific path already? The trouble is (and I've ended up falling down this path) is that you end up being aware and understanding one hundred+ things, but none of them in any real...

I really should have gone on a t-bagging, TK rampage.... ;) D.

Greeny - PC m8. Lol - I forgot I took a screenshot not long afterwards. I had two of my team-mates behind simply crouched and shuffling along too. Jesus..... :dapprove: D.

I've never liked COD online and I doubt my view will change much. But I had a quick go on BLOPS earlier, and joined the lowest-pinged, populated server on a Hardcore TDM game. In I go with little more than an M16 and quickly nail an enemy I spot as I round the corner. Then I get messaged like...

Re: Clear the snow off your roof please Makes my piss boil! Just for the sake of a minute or two to get decent visibility in your car - the heater will take care of the rest. D.

Went back to Windows 7 at Christmas after using Windows 8 since launch. Some nice features, but 7 is much more smooth and 'logical' to use. If I had a decent tablet though, I'd probably retry Windows 8. On a side note, I had an unopened Vista x64 Ultimate box that I sold very quickly on eBay...

This evening, approx 6.45pm - heading down past the cinema. D.

Awful to read. Something so wrong and random just being dropped on you like that. :( Probably the best news aside from yourself and your girlfriend coming through relatively unscathed - is the fact that the Police were directly involved. They will probably have video/radio evidence which should...

Disaster. Waiting to happen..... D.

Took me a while to 'get' BC2 - but it's my 2nd favourite FPS after BF2142. D.

FLOL - tell me about it! FR was almost a dodo back in '97 when I started in IT :) D.

That pic above just looks awesome. :cool: D.

No ideas of the power that think created, but I remember Matt and someone else stood on the turret mounts while it was on the rolling road in order to try and get the fronts to grip :cool: D.

What's the list price on the pov spec? Have they broke £42,500 + delivery and registration yet? ;) I suppose we'll end up with one or two of the oil burners at work - so I'll see how they compare with others here. Tbh, I've much prefered the newer Fords over the VW offerings for simple A to B...

Good find! D.

I despise this. Really, I do. Get off your fat, lazy arse and put it in the bin. Are you two years old, FFS?? D.

Well, it's a new year and a new start, and all that! ;) D.

Your front splitter repairs must cost a bomb. That thing is loooooowwwww! ;) Colin - no reg plate on yours. Po-Po will not be happy! D.

Just after 1pm today - CS sticker in the rear side window too :) D.

Same here. I thought Fallout 3 was the benchmark initially, but Skyrim blew it clean away. Then it all started to go a bit south for me around the 50hours mark. The initial stages where you had a steep climb in terms of gaining experience and skills were by far the most rewarding from a playing...

I'm totally the opposite - I think it's yet to be bettered in terms of racing feel. I can literally do 30mins on GTR Evolution and be sweating as I'm concentrating so much. The Porsche GT2 still bites me in the ass after all this time! ;) D.

That's the sole issue I have with the game, though. You focus on trying to be a specific class and after 50+ hours or so, you end up being very good at several skills and good at another dozen. Skyrim doesn't allow you to become a phenomenal archer, with maybe a healing skill on the side, for...

Doesn't look like it's on Steam, seb. But they have the Civ5 GOTY Edition for £7.49. A definite worthwhile purchase! http://store.steampowered.com/browse/mac/ D.

These sound better anyway, imo :) D.

Not for me either - but I know what you mean about the power increase. I went from a 80bhp Punto Sporting to a 130bhp Punto GT - and that felt like a massive increase in performance. So going from the 56bhp Clio, it must feel like a rocketship! ;) Is that the 150bhp-spec TT? D.

Might be worth it (and easier m8) - to simply buy the SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition off Steam for £4.99. It's at that price until the 5th Jan. D.

Have you read that comment from the devs that one artillery shell in Rome 2 consists of more polygons than those used on an entire soldier in Rome 1? :) D.
