    Merry Christmas all you nutters

    Showing your age a bit there Jim 21 jump street. The other guys. Actually, pretty much anything with Will Ferrell in it.

    Anyone who doesn't buy Bulletstorm is seriously missing out. It's best with a joystick though.

    I would've thought it's self explanatory to keep weapons out of sight for kids. Of course an old musket on the wall or something is different, but any live firearms would be far out of sight for my kids. //Doc what does "double action" mean?

    Is this True?

    Diddums replied to J4MES OX4D's topic in Shooters

    Yep, it's true. It used to be in hardcore only in BF3, but for some reason they decided to introduce it in core too. At first it was annoying, but having since gotten used to it now, playing as support and dropping ammo everywhere nets me so much XP it's just insane.

    I haven't played the Standalone myself, but I browse the forums a fair bit and based on that my recommendation would be to get Combined Operations and play the mod for a bit whilst the SA evolves a bit more. As Dylan says, buildings are currently very restricted, there are no vehicles, you can fall randomly unconscious, etc etc. It's just not anywhere near a polished product at the moment. I spend an hour or so playing the mod recently, after a hiatus of about 6 months and it's progressed in leaps and bounds. Last time I played it it was a bit of a mess but excusable. Now it's almost feeling like a well rounded and developed game. Of course it's not perfect, but it's probably much more enjoyable than the SA at the moment. Given that Combined Operations is only 8.49 on Steam, I'd go for that.

    You? Normal? Fuck off. As the old saying goes, guns don't hurt people, people hurt people. As long as you're not an irresponsible twat I don't see a problem with it. Shotgun. Get a big fuck off 12 gauge with flechettes and a flame thrower. Maybe a desert eagle for the mobility.

    Woop woop, 6 days! I need some thoughts on this. First off, we've accumulated £70 in donations, so a massive thank to all of you! What I had in mind was XBL, Steam and PSN vouchers. I'll pick them up before Xmas day, and hand them out to the lucky winners on the day. I was thinking 2x Steam, 2x XBL and 4x PSN cards of $10/£10 each, depending on countries and what denominations I can get. I need you guys to give me some thoughts on this, is it even worth doing XBL? Who plays on Xbox nowadays? I might go for one XBL and 5 PSN if the demand is right. Please reply below what you'd like, if you think this is a good way of splitting it up, and let's have a merry xmas!

    Serves you right for being a chopper bitch.

    This isn't a game. It's a bug demo.

    It's a massive clusterfuck. It's Operation Metro all over again, and it caters to a certain audience. I suppose they needed something like this to take some of the action from CoD, but it's not one of my favourites.
  12. Diddums
    James, I just wanted to thank you for this, I love checking out your updates!
  13. Diddums
    Done

    Very nice, thanks Lee!

    You got: As British as Stephen Fry walking a corgi outside Buckingham Palace Damn.

    Yes, it sucks.

    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.

    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.

    'Appy Birfday you little shit! Just think, you're old enough to play Call of Duty now!

    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.

    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:

    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

    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.
