  1. oh no, not rich, we blew the hot food thing out that water. I grabbed my hottest sauce and literally covered some snacks in it, and Rich just gobled it up. I'm not sure if it's because his taste buds were numb from the booze or if his missus gave his balsl back for the night, but he managed to eat all the spicy goodness we gave him. And trust me, I didn't hold back.
  2. Hahaha! yeah t'was a great night, definitely need to do that again!
  3. It's fucking ridiculous how much more we pay for PC components than our Merkin' brethren. Here's a fucking awesome build I stuck together in literally 5 minutes. It's got a haswell i5, 8gb RAM, a 7870 GPU and an SSD. For this price, it's simply pissing me off that we'd pay almost the same numbers, but in pounds. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2eY9b You can leave out the SSD and go for a better GPU, but to be honest this one should be fine. I've also included 1tb of storage which should be enough for your video editing needs, and it;s a damn fast HDD too. An SSD will change the way you look at computing, You could go for an AMD build and save about 50-100 bucks, but given you're not a hobbyist and this is to last you a while, just stick the best you can afford in there and be done with it. This is also assuming that you have an OS, if you don't, let me know and we'll have to tweak it a bit. ALTERNATIVELY: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2eYuh This is an AMD build. The CPU has two more cores which will speed up your rendering a bit, and it's also got double the RAM at 16gb. It's also got a considerably more powerful graphics card which is excellent for gaming, and as far as the 760s go, this is the best, hands down. The trade-off? Slower per-core performance. You probably won't notice it, but it'll be there. The Intel will also last longer, although how much longer, I can't really say. This build also has a whopping motherboard with features that piss all over the Intel's, so if you want, you can always crank back on the motherboard and shove that cash elsewhere. At the end of the day it's up to you. We've reached a point in CPU terms where things are stagnating for desktop gamers. The CPU manufacturers are aiming for lower power consumption and more mobility, which for the rest of us means that the performance is at a level which isn't going to be raised any time soon. Provided you're not looking at a $40 CPU, you're pretty much set, although the two listed here are pretty much the best at what they do, hands down. As for graphics cards, there is so much competition going on between Nvidia and AMD at the moment that they've both had to slash their prices to remain competitive. A $500 card last year is now going for $300, a fact that PC gamers are more than happy to point out. Let me know what you think.
  4. This made me giggle a bit, even though it's just a load of utter tripe:
  5. That is freaking awesome!
  6. Bees can you try a different browser or even pc? I'm trying to determine where the fault is.
  7. Anyone else having this issue?
  8. Razer =/= Razor you illiterate ginger monkey.
  9. You'll get a decent system for a grand. My personal experience of Razer is that it's rubbish. Every single Razer product I've had bar the Nostromo has failed in one way or another. My RAT 5 went on forever, I gave it to a mate and he's still using it about four years on. Great mouse. I'm now using a Vengeance M60 and it's by far the best mouse I've ever owned. I absolutely love it. I'll put together a list later, but you're going to need to assemble it yourself. Have you got a copy of Windows? It's best to get a legit one, Windows is getting fussy with pirated versions.
  10. Try clearing your cache. I've had this happen too, it was on the user end though, not the site. I'm looking at the buttons right now. If you don't come right let me know, or if anyone else has this issue, let me know too. Ta.
  11. It's about time you showed up again dude! Welcome back, always glad to see your face around here.
  12. I'll return to this later, bit busy atm.
  13. Can you do a desktop? Laptops are way too expensive and impractical.
  14. YES! PC MASTER RACE!
  15. Sniping in BF4 is one of the most rewarding kills I can get, and I'm pretty good at it too. I'll record some gameplay next time I'm on. Thing is, snipers in BF4 usually have a bad stigma attached to them because the majority sit on rooftops and hills as far away as they can from any action and play like little bitches. It is awesome fun shooting them when they're not on your team, or even switching teams half way through a match and blowing their faces off. The bullet drop is awesome, and although I suck at long range, put me in close-ish quarters or medium range with a sniper, and I'll do fairly well.
  16. STEAM STAHP!!!!!!!11111
  17. Left is Rebecca, our housemate. Next up is Glenn, a mate from another forum, and the last one is Philbottle, from here.
  18. I think I'm dying. Getting too old for this shit.
  19. Apparently he hit a tree at 40mph in 27th gear. //in all seriousness, that's pretty tragic, especially as he wasn't driving.
  20. I've hijacked his account again (stretch) and yes it did happen and yes we both feel like shit this morning. Can't speak on Rich's behalf as he didn't stay the night. Got a few photo's which i'll upload later but on the scale of things it was nowhere near as messy as last time. With that said we still enjoyed ourselves way more than we should have done!
  21. Fuck. Hope it looks worse than it is.
  22. C'mon, dirty laundry time. Have it stopped your incessant fapping?
