  1. Open Beta next Friday. I enjoyed the private Beta and i enjoyed the first game. I don't know if many FGers will be giving it a go but I'll be all over it.
  2. I got a call from Dutch South African tech services, great advice and shit jokes, all part of the service. Amazingly, i wasn't asked for my PIN[emoji1787] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

  4. Sadly yes, it's true, PC won't start, not even enough to access bios. Well, it starts, thinks for a second, stops, starts again, rinse and repeat. Hopefully it's just a dying PSU, and I've got an EVGA Supernova G3 80 Gold arriving tomorrow. 750 watts. Really hope it's the PSU and nothing else but the CPU is just as old and so is the RAM...
  5. He released an impressions video on YouTube today. He loves the game. I'll wait and see if it ends up on Steam next year. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

  7. It's probably enabled. I only did a few laps so 1:50 and lower should be achievable, with BOP off on my first lap I think I did a 1:48 Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  8. Back to Anthem. The loading screens on their own are enough to put me off Anthem. That they appear without notice while traversing a map is pretty ludicrous. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  9. I had a quick revisit to Driveclub last night. After months of Gran Turismo it feels so arcadey all I will end up doing is GTA style race moves and shenanigans. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  10. 1:52 in a Toyota so far. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  11. I take it all back. It's actually Lee after all. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  12. Design by spreadsheet. Short term profit is king. Where CEOs are appointed for multi millions of dollars. Where record profits are NEVER enough. Where the actual workers are treated like shit and lose their jobs at the drop of a hat (yet haven't the nous to self-organise as a collective entity because unions are bad mkay) Where most consumers buy what's presented to them without thought. Because of plastic shiny advertising and because the guy next door has it. No matter who or what was exploited. The problem isn't Lee's, and it isn't limited to the gaming industry. It's ALL our problem and it don't see it get any better any time soon Happy thoughts[emoji28] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  13. Currently started to re-read 'Life and Fate' by Vasily Grossman. It was banned in Russia and would possibly be one of the most important books of the 20th century but for the fact that it took a long, long time to publish. When Grossman submitted his manuscript in Russian in 1960 he was told it could not be published for 200 years. Two years later he was dead of stomach cancer, his novel confiscated, “arrested” as he said, for he had assaulted Soviet totalitarianism. Also I just started a collection of Asimov's robot short stories.
  14. I play punk rock guitar like Johnny Ramone, bar chords, gabba gabba hey! Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  15. Aye, thanks Dave, think it's Motorsport 6 you sent around. I have the latest, Forza Horizon 4 on PC, which is amazeballs. I wouldn't mind trying out Forza Motorsport 7 but I'm pretty covered with Gran Turismo Sport on PS4 too. New track on N200 category is actually ok when you find the right car. Avoid the Alpha Romeo, it oversteers like crazy. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  16. No probs, check your messages
  17. 2:19.832 is my best. In the Audi TT Cup.
  18. You can get excellent monitors at 1080p and 144 refresh rate around the £150-£200 range at 24 inches.

  19. It's changed its meaning a few times over the centuries to be fair and I suppose it annoys me because it gets in the way of us dealing with some very serious issues, and stops ppl looking at things honestly. The use of 'fascist' and 'nazi' is also easily thrown around, often by people who should know better...pointless and solves nothing. And yes, I agree, part tribalism, part deliberate political marketing. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  20. And a comment from someone on the video above that made me laugh: "The combat is warframe is crazy. Its like they took a cover based combat system from a game like gears of war and replaced the cover system with cocaine and flying."
  21. Going to revisit Warframe on PC. It's free
  22. I agree mostly, I just find it interesting how capitalistic corporations can be described as 'left', whatever their mooted socially conscious ambitions might be. The word has been diluted as to be meaningless and used as an easy box to put all manner of conflicting ideologies. I find it lazy. But (a) I think this conversation doesn't belong on this thread and ( I will be more considerate in future in how I present my arguments, and don't take it personally, I don't discriminate when it comes to being an annoying cunt[emoji8] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  23. I ften don't even realise when I'm writing on these topics regarding how it looks, I probably should but I'm like a dog with a bone sometimes. I had an extra pint at lunchtime today and my annoyance was obviously influenced by that, though I can't use alcohol as a defence in a court of law so shouldn't use it here[emoji16] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
