I've tried to take this seriously. I really have, but I just can't. Having seen some of the egos, loudmouths and just general disrespect some of those idiots have, I just think it's a waste of time and those punks need to be taken down a peg. Not all of them obviously, some seem to be genuinely nice chaps but the fact that the idiots get away with the shit that they do just discourages me from being interested. I also suck at cod and they don't, so fuck 'em.

Are you familiar with Vegas? If so you can get it "free" if you know where to look. Hint if you need to. And before anyone jumps on the piracy bandwagon, I have no issues paying for software at all, in fact I actively discourage piracy, but laying down £600 for what is nothing more than a hobby is ridiculous. If you're not familiar with Vegas, I suggest trying out the Adobe products, starting with premiered and later on after effects. They are a bit trickier for a noob but can achieve much more glamorous results and is generally more fun once you get used to it. If all you want is cuts and some weak-ish effects then Vegas is perfect, but all these montages with fancy lighting and stuff are generally done with After Effects. If you need a hand holler, I went down this road too.

Just did my first two MoP dungeons. They're good. Really good. You have to actually know tactics a bit or you won't make it. You also need to perform, something which seems to be an issue for many players. I've been doing my usual tanking routine with my loladin, but it seems that I'm capable of doing more DPS than many of the DPS that join. Had a fair few wipes due to this, and to be fair many players struggle to find a groove for a bit, but c'mon, 40% of the people I've played with have struggled to get over half my DPS. How did these guys make it to these levels? I could understand if they were level 90 and used a boost thingy, but they're not, they're all 85-89, and utterly, completely shit. She's no makey no sensey doctor. That said, I am genuinely impressed by these dungeons, well made and well thought out. Not quite BC stuff but dancing on that grave will raise spirits I don't care for.

I did. I shall view it at the right opportunity

What the Ginger said. Greeeend is a great map, as is the snowy one.

Gah, I'm addicted again. We have a guild called... erm... "Ethereal Brotherhood" or something, which I started with Sven (the latest member here, hasn't got the balls to post) and he picked the name. It's on Grim Batol so if any punks wanna join up, head on over. Oh, and guess who else is in the guild? Leonvegas. Yep, true story. He's doing well, he says hello and misses you all. Ok, I made that up.

Ok, I just had a closer look at the CPU stuff. How important is battery life? If it's important, the i7 is better. The AMD will chew power faster, but the GPU is a bit faster. In fact, given that you're a gamer (I'm just jumping to this conclusion now), take a look here: Pavilion Envy The TL;DR is that they're both shit, it's just a case of choosing which is less shit. AMD's offering is slightly better, but Mantle will also make it better in the long run. For reference, I can cruise around SW on a busy server with medium settings at 30FPS ish on my wife's laptop, which is an HD4000. That's significantly slower than the 4600 so if you're playing WoW, you're good to go!

WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few things girl. First off, unless you do any video editing the 12gb of the Envy will be completely wasted. For example, my wife's PC RAM recently died so I ordered a new set, but in the mean time I took 4gb from my 8gb and put it in her system. I'm still using 4gb now and I can run BF4 on the highest possible settings as well as any other game I play (you're a WoW player, no? I just bought MoP the other day). The reason RAM is sold by the bucketload nowadays is because DDR4 is around the corner (June, to be exact) and these companies know it, so they're basically using all their stock to shift laptops, and because some people are still of the mindset that more RAM = faster PC (seriously folks, the 90s were ages ago). Secondly, Windows 8.1 takes a bit of getting used to if you're not familiar with it. The touch screen might be a gimmick here but it'll help you familiarise yourself with the new operating system and it'll get a damn site more use than the other 6gb of RAM which you'd be "missing out on" (not really). And last but not least, that Radeon 8550G trades blows with the Intel 4600. The selling point here is that the Radeon is made by AMD, the same company working on Mantle, which will improve the performance over time, whereas the Intel is a case of what-you-get-is-what-you-get. For me, the Pavilion is a clear winner. If it's for gaming, then it's a no brainer really.

Tbh I wouldn't bother. Never played it myself but I'm just tired of cod in general. I'd say fire up some of the old ones and see how you feel. If you enjoy it, might be worth it. If not, then I doubt Ghosts will bring anything new to the table.

I don't know who you are any more man.
-
Pretty sure it works dude
-
Teach you for being a jet bitch.

If you want a pony thread, make one. I'll admin it myself. We all have our own shit that others don't like, and if they don't like it, they don't have to read it. Simple as that. As for your issues with Sennex, I'd appreciate it if you could settle that in PMs or elsewhere. Cheers.
-
That's just as well you mentioned that, as that's exactly what I was going to do. I even started the first few lessons. Damn, might have to buy one of those "book" things now.
-
I know right, that's exactly what I said!
-
It's fixxored thanks to Sennex. ALL HAIL SENNEX!!!!!!!!
-
So naturally I've been smashing heads with this bloody software for ages, when Sennex come sswooping in, waves a magic wand and fixes it in a matter of minutes. Sennex, the legend. Cheers dude.
-
Please welcome our new evil overlord Sennex. He is now an admin as well, as he's a legend when it comes to the more technical stuff and deserves a wizard hat.
-
Codecadamy. Seriously, Google it. Excellent site and free.
-
Cheers guys, really looking forward to this. James do you play bf4 on ps4?
-
Yep, having some issues at the moment. Working on it. Bear with me please.
-
You're not bad looking at all. You can do much better than that dude though.
