    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...

    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...

    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.

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

    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.
