    What game did you play last?

    Played Ticket to Ride: Europe yesterday for the first time. Took longer than the suggested time for a game but I think it was becuase no one in our group had played it before. Really enjoyed it once we got into the swing of things and definitely looking forward to playing it again. We also...

    Non traditional board games

    Managed to play both games with the Mrs over the weekend and really enjoyed both. We did realise we accidentally cheated a bit when we played Forbidden island though, oops! Still its all a good learning curve. Now just want to play with a slightly bigger group.

    Non traditional board games

    After reading this thread and watching some of the Tabletop series on youtube I decided to take the plunge and took a trip to my local game shop yesterday. Ended up coming out with Carcassonne and Fobidden Island, so I plan to give them a go this weekend. Hopefully these aren't too complicated...

    Panasonic p42gt60 or Sony kdl40w905

    I got the Panasonic in the end. BUT I've noticed there is a small black border inside the bezel and screen of a few mm. Is this normal or have I got a dodgy set? I've tried it on TV, streaming from server and XBOX One and they all show the same black border? Thanks.

    Panasonic p42gt60 or Sony kdl40w905

    Thanks Covenant and MagicBoy for your input. I'm going to see them both again soon so hopefully will make a decision. Just a bit worried if I go for the Panny with a 5 year warranty and something goes wrong two years in when they aren't making plasma's any more I might be screwed. I see...

    Hello, I'm looking for a new TV and have narrowed it down to these two models. Just wondered if anyone had any opionions on which is the better set? It will be used for a mixture of XBOX 360 and XBOX ONE gaming, watching HD movies / tv shows and some sports viewing as well. It seems to...

    Essential Android Apps

    Thanks Siliconslave but I think you only get 15 mins for a refund from the Google Play Store these days. Like I said it's no real issue, but if you can't have a moan on the internet then where can you!! :p

    Thanks NDJ88 for your reply. I have already got 200mbs homeplugs and have ordered more of the same so that should be cool. I have left out a graphics card and am not planning on using the top bay yet. What would you put in the top bay? DVD drive or something? Hopefully it should all be...

    Astraweb problems?

    I've just quit Astraweb too as I was getting too many failures / incompletes. Not sure who has the best deals at the moment as I blagged a Black Friday special last week.

    thanks for the replies. Will think of getting a more powerful PSU for future graphics card addition. This one maybe Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-650TXUK) (£51.05) £59.98 ?? I only went for the hex-core as it was only a bit more than quad and thought that over the...
