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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

Parked up - looking clean :) D.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

Approx 12.40 this afternoon - heading towards Asda. Anyone on here? D.

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.

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.

Erm, WTF...

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.

+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.

Not even tried this yet? I don't know if I'd find it amazing or just a little weird - lol! D.

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.

Just picked this up today on the PC. I've alwasy liked the COD SP campaigns. Will give it a go over the weekend, I reckon :) D.

I did with my 182.... :o D.

Re: Why are Mazda RX8 so cheap?? Probably uses less fuel too... ;) D.

Clever idea! Would be interesting to see your results on those dedicated external graphics card units! If the head takes around 5mins on your work PC - what times are we looking at on your old home PC for comparison? D.

Andy - what hardware are you processing these images on, m8? :) D.

Hardly. More like someone who will not take 1% criticism of Bitten Fruit products. Every make and model of device has pros & cons - but some devout Apple fans are beyond comprehension. I know one who even 'collects' the opaque Apple stickers from every device, ffs.... ;) D.
