Managed to get my longest confirmed sniper shot just now. It won't be the best (by quite some margin!) but I'm pretty impressed as I suck at sniping! From the top floor of the first concrete structure on Port Valdez - taking a shot against another sniper on the far end American concrete...

Haha! Sounds like a deal! I would bob over for a chat but each time I've seen it there, it's just the Meg on its own - not a person in sight unfortunately. :( D.

Very true that m8. I love the absurdity of cutting edge PC games that demand and sometimes even surpass the current hardware out there. Like Crysis on its release in 2007 - it just killed pretty much any PC out there when whacked to the max on settings. Now I can run it with all the eye-candy on...

Feck. I need to get to Rank 50 on BC2 - and fast! D.

Aye - another shout out for FRAPS - absolutely love it. And it adds a nice little animated screen on the G15 keyboard too. ;) D.

Usual spot at Tescos - in the parent & child parking space. I really need to get a kid for that sole purpose. Can you hire children by the day just to give you better parking spaces?? D.

I've found it to be the opposite m8. The amount of hits I receive while swinging underneath a helo can be deadly at times! D.

Looks ok for some entry level advice. :) http://www.buildyourown.org.uk/pc-building/ D.

It might. But even in the year 2042, people will still be playing CounterStrike v1.6 instead. ;) The third installment definitely needs doing. I remember thinking "don't finish - not yet!" when I got to the end of EP2. b******s.... D.

It's difficult to say really. A bit like asking for an all-rounder car. You might find a 10-year-old Audi would do you just as well as a brand new Mondeo. Yet the cost of each will be massively different. My last upgrade cost around £900 - and that was principally a new motherboard, memory and...

Christ - just been doing some rough arithmetic in order to progress in Rank. Currently sat on 33 with about 70k to go before Rank 34. There's 180,000 points between starting 33 and reaching 34, so even a decent score of circa 5k-6k per game - it would still take you 30 games to progress up a...

Is this the game version of Dire Straits's "Money for Nothing" vid??? That would drive me insane..... it's like being a perpetual world of Lego - lol. D.

Drove past it earlier on this afternoon. No CS sticker that I could see, but is it anyone off here? D.

I had that much snow brought in on my feet a few weeks ago, that I used to rest the floor mat against the radiator when I got into work. Seemed to help a fair bit. As makkram says - you can get bags of silica gel which absorb moisture. If the moisture level is really bad, I'd hire a...

PMSL. We can't have the aesthetics of the MBP ruined now, can we? But Chwissy's right. In all my years in IT, I've yet to come across a decent anti-glare screen. Privacy screens however are a different kettle of fish. D.

I thought it was going to be crunch time at 5:18! :eek: D.

Good point. Making things too obtrusive just helps fuel the desire in people to break in. Area 51 would be more like "Area what?" if to the common public it, was nothing more than a desert-based airfield. Hyped up security just makes people naturally inquisitive. Again, if Sony provided the...

It's a great game - it really is. Some of the scenery and the 'openess' of it all is pretty staggering. But this small issue, which could easily be rectified in a patch is just ruining it for me. I wouldn't mind if their was a random timer element to it - hold off the current wave of attackers...

I'll be over in A-U-L again tomorrow.... D.

Just Cause 2 is just causing me to be pissed off at the minute! I seemingly can't complete or even half-attempt a mission without incurring the wrath of half an air force. Coupled with the fact that the helos are stupidly accurate and ALWAYS fire, there's simply no way out of there other than...

How are you dealing with Heat Level 3s and 4s at the minute? It's getting a little daft imo. Even grappling onto helos and taking them over is getting difficult with the other two helos and ground based forces sent in against you.... D.

I fully understand what you're saying, but why should they have to? I for one would love to get a few more BHP and the odd torque increase thrown in for good measure on my 182's ECU. But in no way do I think that Reno should feel compelled to enable me to do that in the first place. Fair...

And it gets better with time, m8. Like I said in a previous post, I'm still learning new things about maps that I have played again and again. I guess that's a plus point to the scale of most of BC2's maps - you're not playing in a back garden like you feel you are with COD. One tip I'd...

I'm not wanting to sound all 'holier than thou', but it really pisses me off when hacking teams/individuals say that they don't condone such actions for use in piracy of games. s**t, really? So you create a universal key fob for cars that can unlock any motor and what, that wouldn't appeal to...

The complete GTA4 package was on sale on Steam a few days ago. I think it was down to something made like £6.99 for all three games, iirc? It will have gone back up in price now, mind. :( The only thing that has ever put me off MMORPGs is that the decent ones are always a subscription based...

They are out of stock already. Arse. :( D.

Even as a hardcore advocate of games being single player, BC2 has to be played online. It's awesome. :) D.

I've tried really hard with my 182 to document EVERYTHING. It's been the only car I've had since new, so I started how I intended to go on. Personally, a service history would only interest me on the type of car it was. A simple runaround? Meh - full service history would simply be a bonus. But...

It's the timing more than anything m8. They were meant to be 'Holiday Offers' and I guess they can't stretch the reduced pricing out into the New Year much as they will get flak off the developers. I nabbed the NeverWinter Nights 2 Platinum Edition for £7.99 with about three hours left on the...
