  1. It's too early to tell Dave. There are a few possibilities here: GPU knackered: Not under warranty, replace with the 980 I'm sending you, gain an extra 7% FPS. Motherboard knackered: I have the receipts and stuff, send it back, win the internet. I've got that 980 in my bag here, post office opens at 9. I haven't had time to clean it unfortunately so it's a bit dusty but it'll be with you tomorrow.
  2. Angry Joe's chimed in on it too, and echoes my sentiments fairly well. I'm done with Blizzard, I'm actually considering cancelling my WoW sub too because of this. Blizzard is no longer the company I once loved and supported. Fuck you Blizzard, you fucking virgins.
  3. Let me preface this by saying that Laymen Gaming is an absolute fucking ballbag, him and all his village-crier mates basically form the Daily Mail of the gaming world. He can get fucked. Now that out the way, I'm going to do a bit of research on this because I'll be seriously pissed off if he's right. The Warcraft series and later the Starcraft series are the gold standard for many. Blizzard as a company were the best, the one everyone knew they could rely on, the one that delivered. Their promises were always vague as fuck which resulted in them consistently over-delivering. They they joined up with Activision and that was the end of that.
  4. No, we didn't touch the RAM timings, we left it stock because Dave isn't exactly the kind of person to start fucking about with that when it goes tits up. I could've sworn that the motherboard had one of those dumpy little things with the two wires on it. Is there one in the case maybe? @Plumbers Crack try another monitor first and go from there. I'd be very, very surprised if it isn't the monitor.
  5. It's the Displayport input on the monitor. I had exactly the same monitor and exactly the same problem. Don't forget that this monitor was a couple of years old when you got it too. And yes, your motherboard does have a little speaker on it, it's just not beeping because there's nothing to beep about, as far as it's concerned your PC is in tip-top condition. See if you can find another monitor with displayport to use for a few days just to be sure, but that's 99% the cause. EDIT: Also, try using HDMI on the graphics card, should work fine then.
  6. Be honest, you just play it for the wang.
  7. I'd be lying if I said I'm not thoroughly enjoying the game. The consistency is still a major problem, sometimes I absolutely destroy people and sometimes I don't have a chance in a fight. This isn't down to skill but down to connection, and no amount of "it's dedicated servers lol" will change my mind. When I'm on a rampage it's very obvious that something in the netcode is working in my favour, whereas if the shoe is on the other foot, it's also painfully obvious in that I get killed in one shot before I can even raise my gun. I also find that some of the maps are extremely dependent on their knowledge to do well. The better I'm getting to know the maps the better I'm playing, and also the more I'm learning how to fuck up campers. Yes campers are a pain the arse but at the end of the day this is CoD and the community in this game is very well known to be the biggest load of wank in the gaming world, but a little element of surprise and a shotgun to the face usually takes care of them. The maps are all much of a muchness really, some are good, some are shit, some are Shipment. The worst map for me by a country mile is that fucking cave map. The campers are always in the building overlooking C, overlooking A, and occasionally the rug store. You can set your watch to this. Still, grabbing a sniper and zapping that cunt in the building at C over and over again is infinitely satisfying. Another one is the room overlooking B on Crash. I often set up shop in there with claymores and everything to counter the campers and on some occasions I've even had fan mail from campers moaning that I'm camping too much. Two claymores, a shotgun and an ammo box is immense fun. Then there's that other map, can't think of the name right now, C is on some train tracks, there's always that prick on the ledge overlooking A, and often the one sitting on the pipes at top of the building at the back of the map. I've managed to get a care package off that one fella alone, as I killed him, he came back and I was prone on the roof so I killed him again and left a pair of claymores up there for him, and he got zapped by both of them. Ha fucking ha, cunt. It's fun. I can't wait for @techno to get it.
  8. I spawned in the other day and went absolutely fucking mental, think I got a 15 streak or something, people were just spawning in front of me as I was walking around. I tried recording it but naturally my PS4 had other ideas. I think I got about half of it. I imagine that if I was on the receiving end of that I would've commended the player doing it to me, saying things like "this fella is is getting rather lucky, fair play to him" or something equally as encouraging.
  9. What Rachel says. If it's got a year warranty just use it as normal and it should be fine. If it doesn't fuck out within the first year I'd say you're good to go. Most refurbished stuff nowadays is fairly well done anyway.
  10. Does it come with a warranty? If so read properly. You're likely covered fine.
  11. It is arguably one of the most influential games ever made, you'd be mad to miss this one. Found out today that my new PC might be delayed by a day. I'm at the mercy of Yodel at the moment, so fuck knows.
  12. I always knew you were a quitter. I'll see you when BC hits!
  13. Ho-leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk The same day my new PC arrives. Can't fucking wait. How did this fly under my radar for so long? This. All of this. @GazzaGarratt you'll be downloading and playing this too btw, just letting you know in advance. As will you @phil bottle.
  14. I just completed this quiz. My Score 66/100 My Time 149 seconds
  15. Anyone using the word "invitational" as a promotional tool needs shooting. It's not invitational is it? It's also not invitational is it? I can play it tonight with no invitation. Cunts.
  16. Now you see me was actually a really good film. You'd need to be a man of cultured taste to appreciate it though.
  17. This is hands down one of the best SP games I've ever played. Absolutely superb, I'll probably get it on PC just to enjoy the sparkly goodness.
  18. Ladies and gentleman it is with a very heavy heart that I bring you this awfully sad and tragic news. Following a fairly extensive investigation, it has been decided that the unofficial FG Mascot will be put to sleep for all eternity. This was the trusty steed for a few FGers, most notable @phil bottle, @tronic44 and @fg_cal. You served us well FagWagon. may you RIP in Peace in the heaven for used up automotive treasures. PS: VW Crafter for sale. Pink wrap. Needs new turbo. Every panel is fucked, 60k miles. FSH. Make me a offer I can't refuse.
  19. And then just like all the cool kids he went all trendy and had to get a educayshin 🙄
  20. Yes it has you lying fuck.
  21. In between the grout.
  22. Early night last night, and Kyla was studying. Shame really as I could've used a night of slagging you cunts off 😞
  23. Go DOS or go home. Srs. I'm not even joking. DOS was the best system in the world and it really separated the wheat from the chaff. If you didn't know DOS, get back to your abacus you scrub. //LOLNSA. That's all I have to say to that. Let's not forget their history of being very naughty people eh? 😉
  24. I guess I can sit still for a bit of Dora the Explorer.
