    What game did you play last?

    He seems to favour getting a lot of visitors over actually making wine but that always seemed to me like the most luck based method of going about things. As a side note my order of the metal coins for Viticulture came through last night. They're lovely and feel nicer even than the ones for Scythe

    Tabletop Games in under 60 Minutes

    I'd recommend Between Two Cities. A game usually takes no more than about 30 minutes and it's good fun. It uses a mechanic that I personally haven't come across in any other game of co-operative city building with your neighbors.

    What game did you play last?

    I got in a play of Viticulture a few nights ago. We have one person in the group who regularly wins this game and it happened again. I can't decide if he's figured out a system or if he's just really lucky.

    Anyone still struggle with numbers?

    You'd be correct, it's called Dyscalculia. I was diagnosed with it when I was a child. I managed to scrape a grade C at GSCE maths and never did it again. I'm not a stupid guy though, it just feels like my brain isn't wired right when it comes to maths.

    Honeymoon Suggestions

    I'd vote Cuba. My wife and I loved it. We stayed at the Paradisus Rio de Oro near Holguin. Royal service is definitely worth the additional cost.

    What game did you play last?

    Archer, once you go blackmail. It's an Archer re-theme of loveletter and goes down very well with my group.

    Gigabyte X99 Gaming 5P Help needed

    Problem Solved. I took the plunge and ordered a 6800k to ensure it wasn't a failing CPU and it worked first time.

    Gigabyte X99 Gaming 5P Help needed

    I'm primed and ready whenever you get a moment Borealis. If you could list the BIOS settings or upload pics I can feed them into mine and have a go. Your help is much appreciated.

    Gigabyte X99 Gaming 5P Help needed

    Yeah that's really all I'm left with as I recently RMA'd the motherboard and received a replacement from Overclockers that exhibits the same behavior. I do have a spare PSU but I don't think it'll have enough grunt to power everything as it's only a 430w from an old media PC build.

    Gigabyte X99 Gaming 5P Help needed

    There's no such thing as a stupid question when it comes to troubleshooting as far as I'm concerned. I have varied the install media up, using two different USB sticks and a variety of methods of bootable stick creation (Windows media creation tool and Rufus + ISO). I even had a root around in...

    Gigabyte X99 Gaming 5P Help needed

    Thanks for the input Borealis, XMP is currently disabled. Yeah I thought that too, I'm not sure if its because when I did the format using Linux I think it used an MBR partitioning system rather than GPT. I have tried installing to a spare mechanical HDD that I have lying around and the...

    Gigabyte X99 Gaming 5P Help needed

    Hi all, I think I'm having trouble getting my motherboard configured to run correctly with a Samsung 950 pro SSD and windows 10. I'm trying to get windows 10 installed at the moment and I can get as far as the Windows loading circle as installation begins before the entire system locks up...

    Gigabyte Rep?

    Does anyone know if there is a Gigabyte rep that frequents these forums? I'm having what I think might be motherboard issues and could do with some advice.

    Windows 10 Installation woes is it a hardware issue?

    Thanks for the suggestions folks, I should have said I have already tried some of these. I started out by pulling all the RAM sticks and just running one (in the correct slot I checked the manual) I also tried swapping this one stick with others, that hasn't made a difference. I also tried...

    Images of items I have purchased (except trainers)

    Yeah, my last pair (Scarpa) were only a size smaller, La Sportiva sizing seems to be all over the place though. For bouldering tight but not crippling is key.

    MX5 Owners in here....bring your curling tongs

    Thanks Will, you've basically reinforced all the points I've already come across in my research so far. What you say seems to make a lot of sense. With that in mind after a bit more digging I discovered that Bilstein sell a B12 kit for the MX-5 which comprises of the B8 shocks and the Eibach...
