Nice, balanced thread by dk. I'm no Apple fanboi by any stretch, but I do have an iPhone and if I went 'all tablet' - an iPad would be what I'd be checking out first. The double-space for a full-stop feature you mention, is great. I use it so much in texting on the iPhone. I think if that was...

16 months on - via Steam ;) Picked it up for £4.99 the other week and with all the additional DLCs, it came to around £7.49. Much prefer it than GTA myself - which to this day, I still can't get into. Totally OTT as others have said, but rewarding all the same. Would like the opportunity to...

I'd like to see a laptop that can run ARMA III smoothly! D.

Get rid and you'll regret it. I'll guarantee it..... ;) D.

Went looking at the Samsung's at the local O2 store on Saturday. Looks ok and I've had a go on my mum's new S3 Mini. But there's something I just can't get used to on Android phones - and I can't put my finger on it. I've had an uber-reliable iPhone 3GS for well over three years now and I'm...

They killed my beloved Battlefield series with BF3 - and I doubt it was DICE's direct control that did that. More likely cash-in/unlock/DLC purchasing pressure from EA. For that, they should burn in the infernal pit of Hades. Along with Ubisoft..... ;) D.

If it is that section and your car is running a standard map, it will probably pop on the over-run when cold. Mine did it all the time until I sorted. :) D.

Must be a very late 172 Cup on that reg?? D.

DCS : Black Shark for £7.99.... http://store.steampowered.com/app/61000/ Looks a little dated now, but probably the heavyweight helicopter flight sim on the PC. The pdf manual would require several trees if printed off. D.

Nabbed it in the sale a while back. Tried it three times but I don't 'get it'. Like you say - it gets some good reviews, but it's not for me. Is there a demo on Steam of it? D.

Bad Company 2 for £3.74 for the next 6 hours. Better than BF3 imo.... D.

Really liking the Beta so far - but its a LOT more difficult than the original CoH! Just had my arse handed to me by going up against two Easy AI with a Normal AI alongside me. Looks very pretty too. D.

You mean either of these? ;) http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/36963999/Mass-Effect-Trilogy/Product.html?searchstring=mass+effect&searchsource=0&searchtype=allproducts&urlrefer=search...

Beta Stress Test is now out on Steam. Downloading it now :) D.

There's a pretty striking difference in your room pictures above, Andy. I'm assuming like Royston says, that there's a massive load dumped on the hardware to calculate the additional lighting 'bounces' from the other surfaces? The 2nd pic really does look SO much better. The first pic is like a...

Mine's certainly not cutting edge anymore - but she does the job! :) Intel i7 930 @ 3.2Ghz Asus Rampage III Extreme mobo 18GB DDR3 2x nVidia GTX460 in SLi 1x nVidia Quadro FX580 - set purely for Physx SoundBlaster Recon3D PCIe 2x 240GB OCZ Agility III SSDs (plus a few more 2TB and 1TB SATA...

Welcome! Any mods on it now, or is it pretty much standard? D.

Hero! WhyTF not? :cool: D.

Thanks for the info m8. Finally cracked it just now - though that was after dying a further three times and being very flukey in getting to the missile controls! Liked it overall - shame to see the end of the series in a lot of ways. I think in order, ME2 was my favourite, then ME3, followed by...

Right guys - I'm hitting a brick wall with this. 33 hours in and I just cannot get past the bit where you launch the two missiles at the Reaper guarding the beam up to the Citadel. I tried it initially with Blue Head and Garrus, but after dying 20+ times at the bit where the banshees appear, I...

Orcs Must Die 2 for £2.99 at the minute.... :) D.

Andy, I guess that comment above is the real hardware-kicker - but just how 'blurry' is that line between lighting accuracy to convincing the human eye that what it's seeing in front of it, is believable? Although a shimmering water reflection via the sun, projected onto a building wall might...

On a totally seperate note, yet slightly related - I saw that new animated film The Croods over the Easter weekend. Being slightly geeky about what was on screen, I was very impressed with some of the smoke and water effects in the film. Ok, no doubt they will have a whole team of animators and...

Easy fix mate - mine rattled like a b**ch. You can get the replacement clamp easily enough from Renault and it's not a great deal of wedge. Didn't even need to jack my car up - just literally got the drivers' side up on the kerb and slid underneath. There's a good chance the bolts holding the...

All this talk about different axes and planes - I bet your spatial awareness is pretty damned good. Are you good when driving on track then? :cool: D.

Titan Quest Gold is back on for the next 4 hours at £3.75. Well worth it if you want a Diablo-type dungeon hack game. D.

I know what you're saying. I've actually fired up Race 07 this week for the first time in ages with the G25. I've had great fun with the STCC spec Seat Leon going around Donington. I love the skitish/grippy nature of the track and cars. And a little tail-happiness with the BMW. :) D.

I always play the SP campaign first on any FPS game. I think it adds to the game in a lot of ways. The campaign in Bad Company 2 I really enjoyed - just through the dialogue between the main characters. D.

Ah - hello again! :cool: Yep - Janspeed/KTR with unsilenced section. No worries about the PM - just a bit busy at the minute, but will repsond tonight, if that's ok? Cheers, D.

Just now - parked a couple of bays up from me. Had a CS sticker in the side rear window. D.
