  1. The new fagwagon is fast. Like seriously fast. Make sure you wear your best clothing.
  2. Incorrect. Consider this a challenge.
  3. You ain't seen the FagWagon 2.0 bitch.
  4. Shame really as it's a fantastic game under all the P2P bullshit. Just like Rainbow 6, as it happens.
  5. Ahem. Hi. First off, I'm still running an i5 2500k at stock clocks. This CPU will sit at 4.4ghz all day long with a decent cooler. That said, I've had no need to overclock it. I've also got 8gb of RAM which is the same age as the CPU. I have an ageing AMD R9 290 4gb which still plays everything I want at good settings. It's only when I start exploring the depths of 1440p that I need to start cranking things down. I have a Samsung 850 EVO 250gb SSD which still loads from boot to desktop in about 15 seconds despite being about three years old. This bullshit where people seem to think that you need a million gigawatts of CPU power and 15 GPUs to run a game needs to come to an end. The fact is that Intel are dragging their heels as AMD are offering no competition, so their CPUs today are only marginally more powerful than those of 5 years ago. Intel is instead focussing on Hyperthreading and energy consumption. I'm sure they have an entire arsenal stashed away somewhere in case AMD gets serious again, so they'll rip AMD to shreds. That means that a decent 5 year old CPU will still keep up with the latest stuff today. Granted when you push tech to the limits the newer stuff will spank it but for everyday gaming it's fine. Granted GPU tech has jumped quite a bit recently over the last year, especially with the 1070 and 1080s but even then, you're going to need to crank a pretty hardcore game to max settings to stress them. At 1080p, even a 970 will still max out most games. The thing is this: spend £1k today and have a rig which will last you a few years and then upgrade the whole thing when you're done. Apart from people who play at 4k, multi monitors, 3D and other specialist shit, a single GPU system with 4 cores, 8-16gb of RAM and an SSD will be perfectly adequate for years to come.
  6. Don't worry Phil, I'll help you get second best!
  7. Bring traps. Lots, and lots, of traps. They're dungeons full of loot and stuff. Killing the end boss grants you the ability to hack more machines. That's all you're getting out of me, go in blind like I did, it's amazing
  8. Ruf Yellow Bird or GTFO.
  9. Well.... I'm on call all weekend. I'm working Saturday. This means no going anywhere or drinking. Although I might palm off my call out tonight on someone and have a beer. We'll see. Happy easter all
  10. Nicking your kills is the most fun thing in the world.
  11. Different strokes I spose. This to me is taking gaming a bit far and makes me wonder how successful these people must be in life if this is the level they take their gaming to.
  12. This guy nails it.
  13. Hell fucking yes.
  14. Much better, fanks Leigh
  15. I must admit I'm not a fan of the rotating logo, it slows the site down significantly.
  16. Thanks to Sky (or Openreach, depending on who points at the other the longest) I got a few more hours in last night. I started a new game as I forgot all the controls and stuff and I was still at the point where my progress was negligible, so I blasted through all the intro stuff and I'm up to the point of the proving, right before it. This is the first game in ages which has roped me in so far. I thoroughly enjoy the story, the setting, the cut scenes are phenomenal and it's oh so beautifully made. If it wasn't for my amazing group of friends online I'd probably just be playing this until platinum, that's how much I enjoy it. If I had to have a gripe, it'd be the hitboxes. Loads of times I've shot an arrow at something and very clearly missed, yet the shot hits. It makes pulling off that perfect shot a bit less rewarding as the game is so easy going in terms of hits. Killed my first Sawtooth last night too. Got him in the second go, what a brilliant fight. Love this game.
  17. No, you unlock the heists on your own, so have your own progress tree. You can join other peoples' heists however. Heists depend on what property you own, I own the most expensive one so I get the top level stuff, but if I buy the cheaper stuff, I get access to those heists too. Fuck knows why they're dependent on apartment, bit of an odd system but it works.
  18. Yep. To fuckery.
  19. Might as well sell my consoles now. RIP consoles. Honestly, I can't fucking wait. Not even a month ago I was asking if there are any decent RTS games out.
  20. That was honestly the most fun I've had in forever. I was crying from laughing so much. This definitely needs to be come a more frequent occurrence!
  21. That's a true story and you know it Bobby. I wear my bans with pride
  22. This is fantastic Lee. As I said, the app looks fantastic. It's really great to have someone as enthusiastic as you on board as I simply don't have the time to invest that I used to (remember that when I started this new forum I worked at BT so had 12 hour night shifts doing fuck all). Apple might be a bitch, there may be a loophole through Tapatalk but Apple are fairly strict with vetting their apps AKAIK. I'm sure @tronic44 will do the sensible thing and get an Android phone though.
  23. I need to set up a new Twitch account. My last one got banned after it was compromised and some twat spammed the fuck out of people with it.
