    Both are good. In fact Tablet is probably a bit better. Really fun game, but the issue for me is it's not enough to be a proper time sink but too much to be a on-the-shitter game. Also, you will get to a point where you need to soend money. Really good game though.

    Hey welcome Rob!

    This video restored my faith in humanity for a bit. What an epic, epic video. Watch it Such truly inspirational people on this planet.

    May hop on for a NF tonight. I like winters run, apart from the final boss which is quite possibly the worst fight in the game (hi omnigul).
  5. Diddums
    In. Damn this game is fun.

    Can't wait. Just a pity that his new ride looks like a carbon copy of the Jag F Type.

    Nice write up dude! Sucks to hear you're in a rut at the moment and take it from me, I know exactly how you feel. There's not much I can add to what the others have said, some great suggestions and I think a hobby would do you well. Do you have a car? Maybe go to an R/C car track on race day or something and see how that goes. There are also tons of r/c plane clubs if you're in to that kind of thing. It's great that you don't enjoy drinking, don't compromise that. I've actually been considering a booze free FG meet somewhere, maybe a day at Alton Towers or something. Would be great I reckon. Let me know if you're interested!

    I would just like to say that I look forward to bashing your bootlid in with a joystick.

    Which one was that? EVGA or WD? Phone them. If you want a cookie cutter response every time you get in touch which leaves you stuck, email them. If you want to actually progress and speak to someone who will actually help, phone them. Don't be shy, don't be rude, aggressive, impatient or difficult. Listen to them and play your cards right. Remember: you always catch more bees with honey. Explain to them what the score is, play the pity card a bit (fuck your pride, you're never gonna meet these people), and ask for help. Odds are they'll help out.

    They're bang on the money tbh. It also helps create that awesome feeling of being OP against lower level stuff, it was great soloing the old raids in WoW. I've gotta admit, for a dev which has such a strong history in gaming what with Halo and all, they do make some questionable decisions.

    Awesome fun. I started off with a pulse rifle / sniper / lmg setup cos that's all I could find and it was awful. Lee found his mojo with the pulse rifle right off the bat but I just couldn't get on with it. Assist after assist after assist. Later on I bought a load of green engrams and one turned in to the Copperhead shotgun. This is basically Felwinter's Lie. Very slow fire rate but damn it hits hard. Then the merchant man sold a hand cannon so I traded the pulse rifle in for that, again, Hawkmoon in a green dress. Honestly I'm amazed how well I did with it. Ended up trolling some dude on psn who went full tryhard. Blade dancer, Thorn, Final Round sniper. A nitch of the highest order. We shredded him the next game but the game after that he wiped the floor with us. Good times. As it got late and people got tired / drunk our performance started declining but overall I think we ripped this challenge a new one. I had a couple of games with Frank after everyone logged off which was fun too. I just wish they'd do a playlist which includes all the maps, having to choose between the HoW and vanilla maps is crap.

    Mike I'm uploading a copy of Win7 right now, will probably take a few hours. I'll also do the drivers and whatnot so you have it all in one package ready to go. You'll need to make your USB bootable, it's all covered in THIS GUIDE. Stick to that word for word and you'll be fine. After that, you'll need to create a folder on the USB, call it whatever you want. Copy the drivers in to it. Then once that's done, insert it into your PC and power it up. As soon as it turns on, keep hitting F2 until you enter the BIOS, which will look something like this: You'll be looking for the word "boot", it'll either be "boot device priority" or "boot order" or something. You need to change it so that USB is the first option, this is just telling your PC that when you power it on, it has to load the USB first which will start the Windows install process. AND REMEMBER! Don't be afraid. This is the worst that could happen, and you're forcing it to happen. Anything that happens now can be undone so don#t be afraid to have a nose around the BIOS. I know it looks scary and daunting, but you can literally reset everything to defaults with one single button. Gone are the days when you could fry PC components with a BIOS, it's all idiot proof now

    Eh, I'm not bothered about these changes. The one thing I could kiss Bungie for is getting rid of that goddamn fucking final round perk. HOly mother of god I wish I could stab people with their own sniper rifle in their eyeballs sometimes, especially on that new map. It is kinda funny when the match just starts and you can hear the sniper shots immediately going off. You know it's coming then, so I usually sprint round the corner then shoulder charge so they miss me. They always run around a corner to reload but in most cases I've got a thorn or two in their faces. Hopefully Abyss Defiant gets good again.

    We need to do this as a full lobby. I want to record voice too.
  16. Diddums
    Nope. Nope nope nope nope nope. NOPE. Fuck me, the amount of things that could go wrong there is mental. I'm amazed that's even allowed, that'd be done with a cherry picker or similar here. Does the pilot carry his balls in a separate chopper?
  17. Diddums
    Shuddup. You're not a cop.

    Don't ignore him. If you're not already in the Preview Program (read: Beta) you're not getting in, simple as that. Microsoft are no longer accepting new machines in to the program and it isn't officially released until the end of the month so trying to install it via whatever means people tell you to will result in a clusterfuck. Also, given that we're going to be working with drivers fkr a while, it's best to stay with an OS which has a bit of a record. W10 doesn't yet. It's a great os, don't get me wrong, it's just that right now, for your needs, it's not only unavailable but could also cause issues. Pat - Nvidia Geforce Experience or whatever it's called handles the drivers perfectly. So much so that when I stick a Geforce 750 ti next to my R9 290, it gladly disables PhysX for me (the bastard). It downloads the relevant stuff from Nvidia's library.
  19. Diddums
    Pat Nvidia's drivers are all backwards compatible, so as long as he has the latest ones, it'll work with any Nvidia GPU. I wouldn't bother with W10 yet, it's still a bit of a mess. Give it a few more momths.

    Hold on, you haven't tried a clean install of Windows? I thought you had. That's what you need to do then, it's basically the most important thing you need to do. Lay down a clean foundation upon which to build. Don't worry about pirated versions, the ones I use are great. Also, skip W8 and go straight to W10. W8 is a bit crap and W10 is awesome. I'll upload a copy of Win7 in the mean time and send you a link. I'll also upload all the drivers you'll need so you can do it all in one shot. This way you're at least eliminating any potential software issues right off the bat. It is imperative that you do this. All you'll need is a USB stick of 8gb or bigger and a couple of hours. I'll be on Gmail chat / Whatsapp so we can run through the whole process together. It might fix some issues, it might not, but given that it's free and software could potentially cause all the shit you're fighting with, it's first port of call. I'll get on it on Saturday and send you a link.

    AW>BO3

    Diddums replied to J4MES OX4D's topic in Call of Duty

    I've got AW and played it for a few nights before lutting it back in the box permanently. That junpy shit and exo bollocks was the biggest load of shit I've ever experienced in a game. I'll probably get BO3. Hafta wait for a few reviews though.
  22. Diddums
    It's a "front page" sort of thing. Most forum software have it but nobody uses it as all it does is reshuffle info that you see on the forum home page anyway. It's crap, not gonna bother.
  23. Diddums
    Well, good luck with it.
  24. Diddums
    Oh one more thing, EVGA have the best warranties in the PC game so hopefully it's the GPU and we can RMA it. Given that the 660 is so old, you may even get a 760 or if you're very lucky a 960 in return, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Tommy made the final purchase so he will have to get involved but we need to move quickly. Pull the card out and see if that sorts the problem. Play LoL for a few days, granted the settings will need to be cranked down but we need to stress the system the same way you do with the card in it. Watch loads of youtune stuff. If you're busy, google some random documentary and play it in the background with the sound off. Full screen. Check on it occasionally to see if it's tearing. Hopefully not, then we know the gpu is borked. If it is, we'll have to look further but this is screaming faulty gpu to me. A new motherboard will cost less than a night at the pub so don't sweat it. Ram is cheap as chips too. The only other thing that I'd be remotely concerned about is the cpu but again I'd be extremely surprised if it isn't the gpu.
  25. Diddums
    I'm 99% sure that this is what you've got Mike. Managed to dig out the old email. Is this your motherboard?
