  1. Very nice, thanks Lee!
  2. You got: As British as Stephen Fry walking a corgi outside Buckingham Palace Damn.
  3. Yes, it sucks.
  4. The game runs primarily fine for me. However, it does have its moments. I need to swap servers now and then as it gets progressively worse the longer I stay on a server. I usually manage three games then swap over. Also, crashes. Holy mother of God those crashes are irritating. There are still issues but I still enjoy the game when I play it. Having said that, this game is fucked at a very low level. Imagine building a house from scratch. Foundations, walls, windows, doors, roof, etc etc. Now imagine moving in to that house and finding out that the foundation's cracked and it's spreading up the walls. The best course of action is to rip the house down and redo the foundations, which is costly, time consuming and you won't have a place to live whilst it's being carried out. Of course you could pour some concrete into the cracks and hope it helps, and that's what DICE is doing. Good luck to 'em.
  5. Have you ever seen the movie Over the Hedge? Remember Hammy? Here, have a look: That's Dylan. His posts looked like someone lobbed a can of Alphaghetti Spaghetti at the screen, so I told him that he has to introduce himself with every post, which forces him to concentrate a bit more. We can actually understand him now, but he does still have the occasional relapse.
  6. 'Appy Birfday you little shit! Just think, you're old enough to play Call of Duty now!
  7. It depends on how hardcore your rig is. The best solution is a shitty single core processor, as many GPUs as you can cram into it, and a monitor that you hardly ever turn on, and just let it do its thing. Of course if you can take it to work or something and "borrow" some leccy, it'll save you that cost entirely. Obviously certain GPUs are better for this than others. For example, my old 6950 was half the gaming grunt of my new GTX 770, but it got 340m/hash per second, whereas this 770 gets just shy of 200. A 7950 gets around 600, and is the best bang per watt. I'm currently mining too, I'll keep tabs on things and report back once I've got some solid numbers. Also, Bitcoin is largely useless atm, as there are people with machine that cost tens of thousands who you are competing against. I'm mining Litecoins, could be the next Bitcoin, but of course it could not. Time will tell.
  8. Well, according to this, people are geting between 340 and 411mhash/s with a 7850. That's not bad. All you need to do is figure out your energy prices and run some numbers, to see if you'll make a profit. I just remembered I've got 0,05 BTC in my wallet, which is about £25. I'll probably use that to buy a few litecoins, as they've gone from approx. $14 to $33 over the last couple of months, and they don't seem to be stopping any time soon. This is of course a game and shouldn't be taken seriously, but if you make a buck or two, it's a bonus, right? Tommy watch this:
  9. 4mil. Obviously that was all accumulated when everyone was still laughing at this new kind of sorcery which would never take off, but still, there's money to be made. Not much, but as a hobby, it's great fun. Tommy's GPU would be awesome for mining
  10. Ok, for those of you who looked at the title and went "what the fuck is that?", a Cryptocurrency is a form of currency that only exists in computers. The most famous of these is Bitcoin, which started off being traded on sites like Sil Road for people to buy drugs and weapons. I mined a few back then, I had about 6 or 7 at one point but never saw it going anywhere so I sold them for $10 a pop at the time. As of today, they're just shy of $1000 each. My previous graphics card, the 6950 was a monster for mining. For some reason, the algorithms used for this kind of thing seem to favour AMD cards hugely. Anywho, for Bitcoins I was mining at approx 315mhash/second, but I'll be lucky to get a third of that with my GTX 770, which tears the 6950 to pieces in gaming. I'm going to start off with Litecoins, and mine as much as I can. I'll then use the coins I mine to buy new hardware, and combined with some bits and bobs I have at home, build up a dedicated system for mining. If you're interested in this at all, respond to this thread and I'll answer as best I can. This is more of a personal progress report to see how it goes, but I thought I'd stick it in here in case there are others interested in it too.
  11. Rift is F2P, but you'll get addicted.
  12. I look forward to hearing about your locked station stories again. //my xmas do is Friday. Apparently BT has a habit of blowing their budget every year.
  13. Nobody's cooler than Dylan in my opinion.
  14. Is it me or is that not a very large improvement from the PS3? It could be the recording though. Or it could be Treyarch's legendary porting skills. And Facebook? Why? That's rubbish.
  15. Apparently it's been confirmed that the chick is Shelby Welinder <---- NSFW
  16. Lindsay Lohan to sue over GTA 5 Mean Girls actress claims Rockstar Games used her image without permission; is demanding "serious money." Mean Girls and The Parent Trap actress Lindsay Lohan is planning to sue Rockstar Games, claiming the developer used her image without permission for Grand Theft Auto V. That's according to a TMZ report, which claims Lohan's lawyers are in the process of drafting a lawsuit against Rockstar Games that demands "serious money." No official lawsuit has been filed yet, so it is unclear which part or component of GTAV featured a likeness that Lohan claims is similar to her own. TMZ points out that GTAV's box art features a woman holding a cellphone who somewhat resembles Lohan. The game also features a mission that has players taking home a Lohan-esque character to escape the paparazzi. GTAV also features a mission at a hotel resembling Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood--a place where Lohan visits often and lived for a period of time. We've reached out to Rockstar Games and parent company Take-Two Interactive for comment. If Lohan does indeed sue Rockstar over GTAV, her lawsuit would not be the first the game has faced legal action since its record-setting launch in September. Rapper Daz Dillinger accused Rockstar in October of using two of his songs in the game without permission, demanding that Rockstar give him more money for the songs or destroy all remaining unsold copies of GTAV. Source. Apparently, this is Lindsey Lohan: Yep. Whatever you say Lindsey. Whatever you say.
  17. EA / Dice are one of the most amazing pairs ever. It's honestly the blind leading the blind at the moment, nobody's got an idea what's going on, it's just a complete mess. Add to that that Dice might not be working on the next BF game and it just goes to show what a shit state their affairs are in. Of course that snippet is from Michael Pachter so it's probably a load of attention seeking shite.
  18. Hahahaha! That's epic, a true testament to how far publishers will go to make a quick buck. Anyone who buys that is an idiot IMO.
  19. Might have to pass the hat around Dave. A few hundred times. Lol.
  20. "Oh you're an idiot are you, here have an Xbox one on us then". Ah well, I suppose it'll keep him away from doing other things, like operating vehicles. That dude's too stupid for his own good.
  21. Buy a PC.
