  1. Ha! You're not that old, old man. I remember the days of having to manually tune each channel individually, and walk back and forth to the telly to change the channel each time! I remember when my aunt bought a VCR with a remote, we were all amazed at how they could get the information across that tiny little cord which was long enough to run around the house with As for the 720/1080 thing, it's only a small factor. Size is a huge contributor, if you've ever seen a 40"+ 720p tv you'll know what I mean. Refresh rate is just as important, as are colour depths, black levels, contrast ratios, etc etc.
  2. 720 ones are labelled as "HD Ready" whereas the 1080 ones are usually "full hd" or similar. HD Ready is the biggest con going, sadly loads of people fall for it.
  3. Ah, Black Friday, aka "we've had these pallets of shitty TVs gathering dust in our warehouse for the last year, give me a ton and you can have one" day. I bought tons of stuff yesterday, the only thing on slecial was a Chromecast. Some of the stuff they were selling was ridiculous. Not only Blaupunkt tvs, but also Polaroid ones, and some other brand I've never heard of. It's all crap. Granted if you're living on the breadline it might be a good deal but nobody woth a decent income and half a brain would even look twoce at them. The 40" ones were 30hz for fuck sakes, welcome back to the 90s guys! No wonder no shops had display models. Also great for bringing the worst out in people, the way some people behaved is nothing short of primal.
  4. I just bought a Sandisk today Tommy. I'll let you know how I get on
  5. Havent watched the video above, but as you spawn a patrol on to the moon theres a massive overhead rail thing. That area is your farming area, I'll hop on and show you my route if you like, I've got it nailed down to an art (without any vids!).
  6. Great that you bought one for your boyfriend Steve //how many channels is it? They're great fun those things.
  7. Cheers Hector. Was hoping for sniper, shotgun and LMG. I can make the rocket one work though
  8. Does he have any of those xp boost things for weapons?
  9. I'm genuinely impressed with that article, the author has a very non-biased and relaxed writing style, well done. Microsoft's biggest mistake was losing Bungie and giving the game to 343 to remaster. Bungie knows that game inside and out, every single nook and cranny. 343? Nothing. This ks what happens when finances govern decisions, not a pretty sight. I don't know if Bungie will be laughing their butts off or crying at the nightmare their legacy has become. 343 must be really feeling the heat, but sadly these are the thongs that happen when you get involved with EA and Activision.
  10. Yay, we need moar meat.
  11. Oi piss off you bullies, you all love me because I'm unique, a fucking ray of sunshine and I bring tears of joy to your faces or some shit.

  17. Oh shit, stop press. He's going to need a MicroSD card too. 8gb is more than enough.
  18. Thats bang on Steve, he's a lucky guy
  19. Anything from 4-7 minutes, depending on your flying style and whether or not you're recording. Just make sure you get the model number exactly right, the non-camera models parts don't fit.
  20. Anyone up for a raid tonight?
  21. "Aluminum" Some manufacturers have been doing this for decades, it's lovely. It's one of the biggest reasons Audis are so popular along the coast of South Africa, their aluminium bodies are very corrosion resistant. And a 700lb drop? That's worth it alone!

    'Ello

    Fuck me, a ghost has arisen! How's things dizzy boi?
  23. A few things: Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Take away their guns and they'll use knives. Take away their knives and they'll use sticks. At the end of the day, whoever has the biggest stick wins. Hence guns. Secondly, immigrants, legal or not, are very different in Europe and America. Neither has "better" immigrants. It's easy to speak of these things when there's a million miles of water between you and the country you're speaking about, but the fact is that the info you're more likely to have is whatever the media throw at you, which is as corrupt and bent as a three dollar bill. The real life and the press reports are very different matters entirely. I tend to avoid these topics nowadays as I've been proven wrong once too many, mainly due to the crap sources of info we have to go by. This topic however is full of misinformation, so stop it. If you can't keep it civil, I'll do a clean up and we're back to Colt. Actually, we're back to Colt. End of story. //I find it tragic that iconic companies like this can go down the pan so fast. Regardless of the motives or origins of these companies, the fact is that they form a massive part of US history, and shouldn't be allowed to go down. Still, much like Indian Motorcycles, which knows all too well what the bottom of the pit looks like, I reckon someone will snap it up and save it.
  24. Nevermind, joined the clan
