Munson's right - you need to go through a process of elimination. With the side off the PC, try unplugging the power lead to the hard drive and switch it on - see if the noise returns. If it does, try going through the fans within the PC - unplugging each in turn. EXCEPT the processor (CPU)...

Got to agree. The approach shots to the green are by far the most difficult part of the game. I've managed to crack putting though - if only I could do the same in real life - lol! D.

Looks nasty. :( Luckily it sounds like the tyre was the only damage caused. Would a blow-out have caused more 'ripping' of the tyre, rather than the clean looking split on the tyre in the pic? D.

Feck! Ouch?! D.

Wow. Really. Wow. I've been on a Wii today and have been thoroughly impressed with both the game and the Motion Plus controller. It's one of those combinations that doesn't just work well, but superbly well imo - and as a consequence makes the game massively more enjoyable overall. The...

Good point, actually. It works really well I find when you're lobbing those explosive charges in arc - say over a wall or something. Think I still prefer 1st person though. GTFO then! :rasp: D.

PMSL Gaz! Been there - done that, a zillion times over. :cool: D.

I've never really liked the view in FPS games from the 'over the shoulder' perspective. Games like Gears of War frustrated me and to a lesser extent, so did Mass Effect. I downloaded Red Faction : Guerilla via Steam the other day and while I really enjoy the game, I keep getting these 3rd...

No worries m8 - glad it was of some use. :) Prices are changing on a daily basis. I bought L4D2 for our nephew last week for the full £29 price. Yet Sargara picked it up for a tenner less already! D.

I must admit, coming from the anti-Apple stance that I normally take - Jain's Macbook is a pretty decent piece of kit. What impresses me the most are the bootup and shutdown times - very swift. I'd like to have a dabble with one for work purposes more. But being as we have one G5 compared to...

As someone who went from a 19" TFT to a 26" one, just two days ago - I'd say they are definitely worth it! :) D.

Bioshock is £3.49 for today. :) D.

Lol - nice one! Shows that those boot spoilers must be pretty well attached! D.

Have you actually tried that? Kick-starting the SP game on his PC, then firing up MP on yours? I don't think it will work, but what's the worst that can happen? It kicks him out of SP. The other option (I guess) would be to start Steam on his in Offline Mode. The downside to that is that I...

Nein! They've been off for a good 3+ years now. I actually prefer the look of them without. :D D.

Ah - were you in a silver 172, m8? I glanced at one in the rear mirror as I turned left to go up towards the hospital. Apologies if that was you! :) D.

Cheers! Looking at the pic again with the snow tracks - it could appear that I hand-braked it into there - lol! What's this? A usurper to my Blackburn Asda Stalker crown?! Get OUT! :rasp: :cool: When was that m8? D.

I've been up and down the lane around half-a-dozen times in the last few days and each time the 182 manages it with hardly any fuss or drama. The only slight issue I've had has been with the run-up to the entrance of our lane. It's on an incline and if you get traffic coming the other way then...

Didn't KZ2 have some massive install like 40GB+ or something? Or am I thinking of something else? D.

I missed that one - awesome at that price! Even TOCA Race Driver 3 is only £2.99.... D.

Just got Defense Grid (I, ahem.... had an acquired copy before ;)), STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl and Tank Universal - all for a mere £4.32! Well worth looking into if you're after some cheap games. Mirrors Edge was just over £3, iirc? D.

Having just tried out a system running on a 26" @ 1900x1200 compared to my 19" @ 1280x1024, I can fully agree! A larger monitor is definitely at the top of my upgrade list.... D.

PM Griff on here, Ant. He'll probably send you a Cliosport request for that Steam group. There seems to be a few players on there - mostly playing MW2 by the looks of it! D.

Lol! ;) Not tried the follow-up, but got bored of the original quite quickly. As others, a bit too simplistic I think - but I can see the appeal in it. D.

PC only, I'm afraid! Just sorted out my nephews i7 system as well, so I'll be sure to get some co-op L4D2 in over Xmas. :approve: If you're on Steam - send me a friend invite under 'Unzen' D.

Did you like the first game, m8? If so, you'll love this. I do miss Francis and his comments from the original game though.... D.

I was being a bit of a hero taking out the 182 the other night. Why on earth would you take out a V6 in snow - unless it was an absolute emergency? :S Good spot though. ;) D.

Ah, the TU5 patch from mid-November seems to have helped a lot. Good shout Andy. :) D.

We're still running v10.d - does alright for us in a lot of ways, but I think the whole thing needs readdressing at some point. D.

Good run m8! L4D2 is so epic online. :) D.
