    Windows 8, do you get used to it?

    Same here m8. Trying to ignore most of the niggles and persevere with it! Reverting as much as possible to the classic mode has helped tremendously - as has bypassing the account sign-in at the start and stuff. D.

    Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

    10 hours in an I'm a midge's dick from uninstalling it. My god is it a bloody frustrating game to play! Not sure I'll have the patience to get anywhere near the end, I reckon.

    Windows 8, do you get used to it?

    Only just noticed this now - thanks! I've still got 8.1 installed, so I must be getting more used to it I guess?! D.

    Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

    Cheers - I didn't realise that you needed to build up the hit streak beforehand - that makes sense! I know what you mean about the respawning - L4D2 which is rife with respawning - is one of my all time favourtite games. But in SoM - it appears to me that the respawning it just too frequent...

    Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

    Is there a reason why the Y&B button combo doesn't always work for executions? Is there a cool-down period between when you can use them? Also just had a mission that simply involved me running between three sets of uruk scouts on the back of those dog-things and killing them. Fair enough. But...

    Leeshez - multi-story car-park, Bury

    Went a couple of floors up - managed to nab an end parking slot rather than join the hordes of door-dingers.....

    iTunes - getting close to Hulk-smash....

    We did think about that - but surely it shouldn't come to that? Besides, Shelley has an outstanding credit on her account with iTunes vouchers and from what I can gather, it would take Apple themselves to transfer that balance onto another account. The Apple Store suggested that we call the...

    iTunes - getting close to Hulk-smash....

    Chaps, Are any of you a genius on iTunes? I've literally spent nearly three hours this afternoon trying to solve the issue we have with my girlfriend's Apple devices and it's driving me frigging insane. In a nutshell, we want to delete every bloody tune and start again. Balls to downloads and...

    Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

    Erm. Another hour and a half into it - I'm still awaiting for the 'wow' moment to arrive. I despise the insta-spawn of the enemy. For three times on the trot, I wiped out three troops of inbound green knobheads, only to venture a little too far on the bit of map I was on - and that became the...

    Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

    I was a bit too eager in the sale. I bought it when it was down to £24.99 (I think) and then the following bloody day, it dropped to £17.99 - typical! I'll probably have another bash on it later today when I'm back home. D.

    Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

    Put three hours into on the PC this afternoon. Early impressions are very good, though as with the vast majority of 3rd-person perspective games, the camera angle can become infuriating at times. The control input I find to be a little haphazard too. It's one of them that neither works...

    Leeshez - multi-story car-park, Bury

    Spotted the LAS-mobile in a much, much cleaner state than mine in Bury, this afternoon. D.

    Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

    Lol - standard Cookie Issue, iirc. Just got this on the Steam sale - not a huge saving that some of them can be, but 25% off is better than nothing. D.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    I bet those SSDs alone set you back a tidy penny!

    Windows 8, do you get used to it?

    Cheers! So far, it's not bugged me as much as it did before. I'm all for change, but previously I saw hardly any benefit for that change over Windows 7. I'll see how I persevere with it! D.

    Insurance recommendation

    Greenlight definitely had the edge when I had both the 182 and Evo insured. I'm still insured with them just for the Clio now as the Evo is sold. Neil is very helpful and gets back to you quickly with any questions. D.

    The beast of Turin, trailer

    Watched this yesterday myself - brilliant! Imagine the size of balls needed to physically race that back in the day?! D.

    Windows 8, do you get used to it?

    Got Win 8.1 finally installed at the weekend. What tricks & tips are people using on a daily basis? I would like to get some popular keyboard short-cuts memorised - along with shifting that pointless start menu. I'm using a traditional monitor - not a touch screen, thanks. ;) D.

    [Dec 4, 2014] NW Central - Monthly Bury Pub Meet (Bury)

    Sounds good - but it depends what's on with work for me. I might be at one end of the country or the other? :) D.

    outside temperature sensor faulty

    Tbf, I've just got used to mine being out. It's not as crazy as yours, but a mildly cold day can easily see -2C/-3C appearing on the dash. It's been like that since new - and never really bothered me. D.

    Windows 8, do you get used to it?

    Windows 8 with me is like eating olives. No matter how many times I go back to them - thinking I'll like them, they just end up tasting rank! ;) In all seriousness though - I keep saying I'll use Windows 8 more. But every time I come back to a reformat at home, Windows 7 automatically wins. The...

    PS3 driving game

    As Matt says, GT6 is certainly good enough for you to gain track knowledge and what sections of track are coming up. Personally, I've spent the most amount of time on the 'Ring within Race '07 on the PC - but GT6 is pretty faithful to it also. D.

    So I messed up and I now I have loads of adverts...

    ^^^ - Malwarebytes is definitely a good place to start. It resolved all the issues we had with one users' laptop here. D.

    Black E92 335i

    Love the shape on these - BMW got the coupe (especially the top end with twin pipes) just spot on right. I think silver for some reason works especially well on them. Nice purchase :)

    How do I 'reboot' my pc but keep all my Windows updates ?

    More worringly - you're still using Vista!

    Visual Studio 2013 for free. Kinda.....

    Moving from Android to iOS

    I've never owned an Android based phone and was vehemently anti-Apple for a long time. I'd had Nokias for over twelve years before making the switch to a 3GS and never really looked back. I'm on a 5 now and will probably consider a 7 once those finally arrive. Tbh, it's the whole iOS way of...

    Melted spark plug!! Causes?

    Exactly. There's a spark plug tip knocking about somewhere - or by some bloody good luck, it cleared the exhaust valves and got spat out? Are those injectors new? D.

    The Next Few Weeks (Next Gen Games)

    Same here m8. Played all three from beginning to end. I did think ME2 was slightly better than ME3 - but the latter was still a cracking game. Definitely looking forward to ME4. D.
