    FG has form for building our own machines so I will encourage that😁 My advice is to first decide what display you want, 1080p, 1440p or 4K. That will determine which GPU to go for. Personally I'd go for 1440p. It's the sweet spot between lovely graphics and high frames. There's some good GPUs that will give 1440 and all the fps, that won't destroy your wallet. Then we need to decide AMD or Intel. @Diddumswill be better suited for that advice as I'm Intel only.

    Battlefield 3 is free for a limited time on PC if you have Twitch Prime. BF3 has gotten a new lease of life, as DICE recently opened it up to modding, so worth a shout 🙂

    Happy new year all, I'm starting the year in good anarchist spirit and resolve to keep it that way. By anarchist spirit I mean that deeply human sentiment, which aims at the good of all, freedom and justice for all, solidarity and love among the people; which is not an exclusive characteristic only of self-declared anarchists, but inspires all people who have a generous heart and an open mind. ❤

    I'm subscribed to 2000AD and occasionally I pick up digital comics. Other than that, not really, too many adverts annoy me. Well, any adverts at all annoys me. Many of these publications are funded this way and end up just being marketing tools. They lose what makes them special. I'm the same with gaming websites. I used to visit IGN daily 10 years ago, for example, but cannot remember the last time I went there. Thrse days it just feels like one giant advertisement. But my disappointment with magazines is nothing new. Go back to the late 80s. I used to buy White Dwarf when I was around 11 years old as it featured lots of great roleplaying articles from all games, but then it went in-house, they shut down sister magazine Warlock and focused exclusively on Games Workshop games in White Dwarf. Great if you only like Warhamner but pretty shit for everyone else. I'm rambling, sorry😁

    Have to get back on this it's a very well done game. I've seen @JsinOwl on PSN playing it but not many others. Haven't tried the update yet but I'd be up for giving it a go. Shame the Owl isn't here to give us his thoughts.

    Left 4 Dead's main attraction for me that it was free, they put it on there for free once many years ago for a couple of days but didn't advertise it. I think we may have discussed itr on here somewhere back in the day. But yeah this company have bad form and it may go free to play at some point, so probably not for me. I'll just hope the Warhammer game isn't shite like the usual crap that gets a games workshop skin.

    Agreed, if everyone's up to speed, from 8pm we can give everyone 5 or 6 laps to warm up then straight to qualifying. Much more likely to be able to fit another race in, plus this week's main races aren't particularly long. I'll aim to set up the lobby from 7.30pm though for those who need the extra practice.

    So, Red Bull Ring and possibly Tokyo for this Tuesday I'd say, I'll have a tinker with fuel and tyres before posting the event...so still time for a request.

    Rust's on sale right now for £20, I have it and a few others do too I think.

    So, it appears the daily races in Gran Turismo for next for next week have been announced. Gr.3 Red Bull Ring track, 5 laps, hard tyres no wear or fuel use. Gr.4 Nurburring 24H track, 2 laps hard tyres, fuel 2x, tyres 5x. Might stick with the Gr.3 with some modification but I'm open to suggestions still for the Gr.4.

    I'm going to set up the calendar for Tuesdsy this evening, so let me know if theres any requests. Last week was great, 10 people on at once, though I think it was 9 in the races. I picked up the fastest lap timr in the Gr.3 race thanks to us turning off BOP and my car being fast...but braked too late on one too many occasions to have any chance of winning the race. But yes, new calendar event for Tuesday will go up around 6pm this evening, let me know. Will stick to Gr.3 and Gr.4.

    I'm loving this game still. So many fun ways to kill people. That's all I'm still doing. Little side missions and I love doing them depending on the location and possibilities. As soon as I had enough money I boosted up my cybernetic abilities. Love hacking enemies and doing shit to them. I also love finding sneaky ways of climbing or entering missions so I can take a few out unawares. The parkour is decent. But mostly I love my weapons. I have a machine gun which has high probability to set people on fire, a pistol with high head damage and then either blade or shotgun for up close. Might get the Mantis blades but will see. I quite like the shooting in general and have set up my perks for higher damage early on. Playing on Hard difficulty seems ok so far.

    I started to watch Super GT videos to help me, here's one he did on tonight's first race.

    Football is pretty interesting right now. Every few weeks its suddenly a different team are going to win the league. I hated the days when it was dominated by a few big spenders, there's still half a dozen teams who could win the league this year at this stage and that makes it much more enjoyable. Liverpool will win of course unless some of the other contenders can manage to get a result against them. Spurs came close, but for some poor finishing.... and I'm a bit frustrated that we're not trying to dominate teams like we can when we decide to. But Wet Spam lost last night, so there's always that to keep me happy😁

    @slamminbones my car recommendations: Gr.4 Audi TT Cup It tends to excel at most circuits. Also, the Dodge Viper is a nimble car for today's race. Gr.3 BMW M3 Nissan GTR Porsche 911 Mercedes Toyota Supra Most of the Gr.3 cars are well balanced so it's more a preference on whether you want big and powerful or something more nimble around corners.
