    Recommend me a soundcard - Around £50

    What about Windows 8.1 support? Anyone using the SB Z with 8.1? My current X-Fi has issues so I'm looking for a new soundcard too...

    Who's working this Christmas?

    That sucks :( I'm very fortunate to have a flexible working environment and a boss who is happy running our I.T services with a skeleton crew over the Christmas period. We have three people who always come in over Christmas anyway so it's all pretty much voluntary. I'm working Monday and...

    Whats the point of the NHS?

    I work for the NHS. What is the point of the NHS? Well when it works, it saves lives and helps people. Unfortunately like a lot of things in the world it just doesn't work as well as it should, depending on a lot of variables such as money, charitable funds, management, additional income through...

    Bioshock 3 - Infinite

    **Very minor spoilers** My opinion of the game: Overly picky? A bit unfair... well, perhaps... overall it's a great game. It's just my opinion :)

    Airsoft 'Echo42Video'

    It's a hobby. More than just shooting BBs at each other, there's a wide range of kit and equipment available and a big part of the hobby for me is maintaining, repairing and improving your gear. Some people buy cars and spend large amounts of money upgrading them, customising them. Some...

    Dead space series canned after poor sales...

    I remember reading somewhere that Dead Space 3 was supposed to be the final instalment anyway. Good games but whatever, there will always be games to play.

    Aliens : Colonial Marines - FPS ( They're back ! )

    SweetFX doesn't make that much difference. It just makes it darker and some of the light sources look different. The darker things are the less you see and the less you see the better the game looks lol... still better than nothing though. Ok so I was just playing Aliens vs Predator again and...

    Aliens : Colonial Marines - FPS ( They're back ! )

    Haha except in this case IQ relates to Image Quality ;)

    Aliens : Colonial Marines - FPS ( They're back ! )

    This should have been a success. The IP is already well established. We have the technology now to create a truly remarkable Aliens game with insane graphics. The original Aliens movie should have provided all they needed to flesh out an interesting story to continue the adventure. Nothing...

    Aliens : Colonial Marines - FPS ( They're back ! )

    lol! But I am now also sad :( FFS Gearbox. WTF happened? Too much time spent on PR, video previews and waching Aliens before stating "I've been a fan of the franchise for years and it has been my dream to create the perfect Aliens game"... gah. Suppose it's time to wait for more reviews and...

    System not reading full amount of memory?

    Yeah we laughed it off before but it does make sense! We'd tried everything from upgrading the BIOS, entering the memory settings manually and different modules... Thought it was worth sharing :)

    !!**Official RAGE Thread**!!

    I just removed RAGE a few weeks ago lol. Thought this DLC would never see the light of day! Glad I was wrong :) Definitely getting it, RAGE was a good old school shooter with shiny bits on top.

    System not reading full amount of memory?

    So you're running a 64bit OS and have tried everything but the bios and Windows cannot use / see the full 4 or 8GB? My friend had this problem with his 2x4GB modules and Win7 64bit. The solution? Re-seat the CPU. Job done. Just thought I'd post this here in case anyone else encounters this odd...

    ***Official GTX 670 thread***

    Postie just delivered me a MSI GeForce GTX 670 OC Twin Frozr Power Edition :D Can't wait to get home and give it a go! Doubt I'll need to overclock it as I'm not really into that anymore but I am tempted!

    Do you collect anything & Displays

    Futurama Merchandise! Got quite a bit now, most in storage. Have an absolutely gorgeous clockwork tin Nibbler and Bender :) Not that any of this stuff is particularly rare… it's just quality merchandise (most of it) based on a show I love. One day when I get a house with a spare room I’ll...

    Whats happening to me?

    I've experienced the same thing. I like playing games but few have really grabbed my attention in recent years. Fallout 3 took me two years of on/off gaming to complete. RAGE was the first game in ages I played from start to finish in a few weeks! Last year I had so many games on my pile of...

    Dishonored - Thread

    Shun the non-believers! Shuuuuun! I know we've all been stung before at some point. A game is hyped, promises much and ultimately fails to deliver. But I think we can all breathe a sigh of relief. Dishonored looks and sounds absolutely brilliant :) Finally I have something to spend my GAME...

    Dishonored - Thread

    Arkane Studios not Bethesda ;) Different kind of game too so probably not as long as Fallout 3... but so long as the experience is rich and enjoyable I don't think it'll matter. Hopefully the replay value will be high too, seeing as there are so many ways to do things.

    FTL - Faster than Light, Space Rogue - ( INDIE )

    £6 for over 40 hours of fun so far... so no complaints here. If there is a sequal I'm sure they'll do a good job :) I'd be happy if it was more of the same but a bigger universe, new tech and fancier graphics! I quite like the fact it can be completed and there is a scoring system. A throw back...

    Found my cat but not good news :(

    Please accept my apologies for my comment regarding indoor and outdoor cats, this was not the place for it. As I said before, one cat lover to another, I’m truly sorry for your loss.
