  1. This one seems to have fallen off the radar. Releases on Friday, anyone picking it up?
  2. That would be funny but very unlikely right now. LFC fans will be happy if it happens though. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  3. Have to feel sorry for Leeds but the play off place will go to a midlands club. My bet is on Villa. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  4. Swift ROG. You won't look back. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  5. Thanks both. Awesome links Didds. I decided that when it comes to PC parts I’m not going for cheap quality anymore. I have a beast of a CPU, beast of a GPU, the best RAM, ridiculously powerful PSU, awesome MOBO and I’m not going to taint them beauties with shite storage. Think I'll go M.2. It'll be a May purchase most likely, I just need to ensure that that I don't fuck it up
  6. I really like this track a lot, Going at high speed into those first two corners is a real delight, plus trying to work out the best line and keeping up the speed in the last two corners. I think I was getting 1:36s in the Audi when I tried a few laps last night before bed time but I feel there is lots of scope to improve upon that. Gran Turismo is still only 14.99 on PSN.
  7. Great idea, I'll hit up the DayZ forum later after work[emoji173] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  8. I think it's only fair to mention to you all in advance, but I'll be removing the server password at some point this weekend. While it's been fun watching us get to grips with DayZ, it just isn't DayZ without the ever present threat of being murdered by a ghillied stranger from 800 metres. We'll never know if there other players on our server, unless we run across them. And that is DayZ. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  9. This. 100% [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

  11. The next and hopefully last update to my PC will be the addition of a new hard drive. I’m down to quite low storage at the moment, as the 2TB HD was blown up by the faulty PSU. I’m currently running a 250GB SSD for my C Drive and a 500GB SSD for storing games. I need more room to store games. I’m undecided what type of drive to go for, SSD, M2, NVMe Any thoughts welcome.
  12. Somoe epic updates above^ For me, ‘video gaming’ in general started in the days of the Commodore 64. The 1980s. Even in those days gamers were already dicks. There was (in the UK) a war of superiority between C64 and ZX Spectrum owners. Though this generally ended with both sets ganging up and mocking the solitary BBC microcomputer owner which had Elite and pretty much nothing else going for it. Though I did learn BASIC using a BBC machine, think they were made for the BBC by Acorn. The C64 had the better graphics by the way. And was the superior machine. International Soccer loaded via a cartridge. And I’ll never forget the days of listening to the cassette player load Manic Miner or Way of the Exploding Fist. Plus, the very first football manager I ever played was on the C64 and is one of my favourite games of all time. The PSU would generally overheat before I got tired of playing that game. The Amiga followed the C64 but I had moved onto consoles by this stage. I loved the SNES and the Sega Megadrive (Genesis) and then the N64 and PlayStation. At which point I was back on a PC. I had crap internet for years, so only played stuff like Black, early CODs and Conflict Desert Storm type games, oh and of course Football Manager. My mate Dan had a better PC and internet so my first experience of online play was around his playing Unreal Tournament and Quake. Special mention to the PS2 slim, which is one of my favourite things of all time, it was tiny and awesome. It wasn’t until the Xbox 360 that I finally experienced online play in my own home. COD4 and World at War were good games but it was MW2 that really grabbed me. I played with a bunch of work mates and used to dream of UAVs circling overhead. Great days, great console. Then the DayZ mod for Arma 2 came along in 2012 and hammered the first nail into the console coffin. I watched those early vids of folk playing the mod and it blew me away, there was nothing like it at the time. What a fucking game. The mod support was incredible, new maps, Namalsk, Lingor, Pantera and the awesome DayZ Origins on Taviana. I used to play with Aitchy and Battlefield John from the DayZ forums and I miss the mod a lot. I only had a laptop but it played DayZ without any problems, except that it would overheat playing around the 90 minute mark. So I saved up my pennies and sorted myself a very nice PC. I did buy a PS4, a year after release, under duress from a certain South African. It was actually from playing DayZ and meeting @Diddums on the DayZ forums that lead me here
  13. My poor heart. Mental game. Ajax next will also be the same, guaranteed craziness the way we go about things [emoji23][emoji1] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  14. I'm watching Spurs slowly fall apart tonight but if I'm not on at some point, and if Friday is good for all we can do it then, depending on @GazzaGarratt
  15. I was going to nudge you. The daily races this week are not my favourites and can't be arsed with them. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  16. PS4 was underwhelming, Xbone was an insult. My expectations are adjusted accordingly. I don't expect Sony to deliver 8K at all, unless they go down the Microsoft route and release multiple versions of the console. Either way, meh... Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  17. @Plumbers Crack @GazzaGarratt @Diddums Let me know a night you're free and I'll do a calendars event for us all to jump on at the same time.
  18. Trying to play this game after 6 months of Gran Turismo is quite an experience. Driveclub is a good looking game but the handling is atrocious. Gran Turismo is still only 14.99 on PSN.
  19. Funnily enough, @Plumbers Crack was asking about this the other day. Looks like when 3.5 drops you will actually be able to go back to your room
  20. Too many Bugs, is my bet.
  21. Nothing has particularly inspired me. A crusty I used to know in the 90s used to call me Malcolm Stardust, so I may resurrect that for the lols. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  22. I reinstalled BF4, and Warframe is ready to go but sorry WOW aint happening
  23. I've seen a few other change their names on PSN already [emoji39] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
