I thought you'd normally go for the homicidal maniac class? ;) D.

That sums up why it bored me as well - it was about as much fun as playing with a spreadsheet. So my SMG of Pain goes well against lvl 10 opposition. Oh dear, I'm now against lvl 15 monkeys - it's not so good against them. So my SMG of Extra Pain goes well against lvl 15 opposition. Oh dear...

I think that's the key to this game. On your own, it gets boring quite quickly I think. Going co-op would no doubt add to the enjoyment factor - as long as you could get multiplayer working in the first place. ;) D.

Basically, on par with the poll on Bioware's main site for Mass Effect 2..... http://www.bioware.com/ ... I actually picked the least popular (engineer) before I'd even seen that poll. I tend to do that a lot, regardless of the type of game - going for the least obvious and less mainstream...

I'm guessing you'll need a keyboard and mouse to make it easy - the previous versions were a piece of piss to control. ;) D.

The 5750's are good - but they only have 128-bit memory addressing. Like for like, the older gen 4870's can out-perform them - even with only 512MB onboard, compared to a lot of the 5750's with 1GB. Still, they do offer DX11 support and for the money, they will be a significant step-up from...

What about this Dell, m8? http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=387999&C=Froogle&U=387999&T=Module I've only used a netbook for networking stuff - so I'm not sure how good they are for HDMI output, etc. D.

Cheers for the info guys. Do you worry much about getting the lacquer from inbetween the numbers themselves? What grade sandpaper do you use? Cheers, D.

I definitely didn't sand them first (n00b - I know!) - but the plastic primer seemed to stick really well. As did the black paint on top of the primer - it was just when the lacquer went on that things went tits up. It must be the black paint & lacquer combo that doesn't work. Entirely my...

Arse. :( Well, I primered up my other set of bullets and once set, I went about painting the base of the badge itself black, leaving the raised lettering the anthractite'ish colour of the primer. That bit went really well. The black paint stuck well to the primer and with the iPod on it the...

Gotta love your way of thinking. :) D.

The flaps would be a neat touch - if done properly. All cars should come with integrated ones imo - even if just for the front arches. D.

Cheers chaps. :) Just tried Rob's suggestion and its allowed me to view and copy the files at least. I'm still struggling with the window/desktop/minimise/expand options on a Mac - not to mention the fact that clicking on a red 'X' doesn't actually close the program? So, so different to using...

Not quite, Dan. You can get more money for selling kids for genetic research.. D.

.....this morning. Looked almost as clean as mine. ;) D.

I know. :( Unless I'm missing something obvious, I couldn't see any options to change for DiRT 2, either? Such a shame. It's like owning a Ferrari and being limited to 2nd gear so that the other cars can keep up. PCs are being held back - not being pushed forward as they used to be.... D.

Looks awesome. Just hoping that the PC version has options that you can tweak and improve the looks on. Seems increasingly common now that on cross-platform games, what you see is what you get. I don't think EA/DICE would ignore the PC faithful. Would they? ;) D.

How do you get to view hidden or system files on a Mac? We've 'acquired' a useful iPod containing quite a few GB of music. ;) When plugged into the MB, it simply states Calendar, Recordings and some other file folders. When I plug it into a PC laptop, I can see a whole lot more - including the...

Ordered this today. Looking forward to it. :) D.

What about this one m8? http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/Product/43667/Gigabyte-motherboard-P55A-UD3R-P55-LGA1156-core Personally, I've found the Asus Rampage II to be a superb board, but it's a bit over budget! :) http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/Product/39301 D.

FLOL! On the PC? Not many! :cool: D.

I think it takes a little longer to get into, m8. I was thinking the same - about the same amount of time in. All the dialogue is the bit that's getting to me more than anything. Rather than being interesting and adding to the storyline, it's getting tiresome, imo. D.

FFS Jonff - that's well out of order. :( I know a pretty good place bodyshop if you're still in need of a quote? Any pictures will probably help. Sorry to hear about this, m8. :( D.

You really need to sort your lights out m8! Having nothing lit on the nearside of the car is just asking for trouble! ;) D.

It does happen, unfortuantely. I've got two music CDs that simply refuse to be played on my PC. That was both in Windows XP and now Windows 7. Chuck them into a standard stereo and they play fine. I've never really done much research as to the reason why. Either the encoding is alien to the...

^^^ - the exact reasons why if I was ever bother to have a media server, I would want it cabled. No ifs or buts, it just works - no 'grey areas' of signal strength, etc. I still don't really get the fascination that most people have with wireless. It's almost like they need wireless...

It's pretty good so far. But its certainly no Mass Effect 2, imo. D.

Got this at the weekend, but haven't installed it yet. Finishing off Mass Effect 2 took priority. :) D.

Because we're on the correct side of the Pennines. That's why. ;) D.

If you can afford a MacBook - go for one of those. I'm personally no fan of the Bitten Fruit at all, but there's no denying that as a small, useful and capable laptop, the standard MacBook is a very good device indeed. Whether or not it justifies the price hike over a decent PC-based laptop is...
