  1. I'd like to take the opportunity to wish Dave a happy birthday. I'll save the abuse for whatsapp but for now: Many happy returns dude I wouldn't be on this website without Diddums prompting and his press ganging me away from the DayZ forums....so you can all blame him for that
  2. Argos are selling light grey A40s with mixamp pro for £129. The black ones are standard price. Weird one Argos but i'm not complaining. I have to go to Haringey after work to pick them up, can't wait! Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
  3. I've been using Steel Series Siberia V2 for my PC and Turtle Beach X12 on the consoles. The Steel Series hurt my head after a couple of hours and the X12 is knackered. I'm buying A40s this week without a doubt, just looking for the right deal. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
  4. As of today they have pulled the driver
  5. Lots of folk are having problems with the new driver. Silly me, I stopped playing the Division at about 3am and noticed a new driver was avaiable. Installed it and it went it to a reboot loop. Very annoying when you're cream crackered. Here's the lowdown: Bit of a PSA for you here: the latest Nvidia driver is causing some serious problems on various machines, according to users across the web. On installing 364.47 - which those of you using the Geforce Experience tool have likely already been prompted to do - some are reporting a crash followed by several reboots all ending in black screens. System restore or safe mode is the only way to get out of this if it's already happened. If it makes you feel better, the 2016's best PC games all ran on the older driver anyway. Nvidia are aware of the issue and are looking into fixes. They say that multi-monitor setups seem to be the most commonly affected, though I've seen complaints from laptop users as well. There's also this thread on the Nvidia Reddit with various single-monitor users reporting problems. Disconnecting one of your monitors before installing may help, but Nvidia also mention that doing a clean install via the custom installation option may be better than using express. If you've already installed and are now locked out, a system restore should set you right. Alternatively, booting into safe mode and navigating to the device manager, then uninstalling or rolling back the driver from there should let you load up and grab an older version. This support thread has the latest updates from Nvidia who are, as you'd hope, trying to get this fixed. For now, I'd recommend just not downloading or installing them until Nvidia issue the all-clear. If you're worried about performance on The Division today, I managed to play some last night with zero problems on the last driver, though I'm sitting on a fairly meaty 980TI, so your mileage with older cards may vary. Most folks I saw also praised its good performance though, so it's unlikely you'll encounter issues.
  6. Crappymon made me chuckle
  7. I have my doubts about Ubisoft and I think the Destiny boys may be a little disappointed content-wise, but I'm open to being proved wrong. I just hope it's stable
  8. 11pm it kicks off on Steam tonight apparently, glad I'm not working tomorrow
  9. Yeah, well Harry scored a fucking peach of a goal. I love this season
  10. It's all in the title 30.5GB
  11. On high video settings it will make the machine work a lot. You'll be okay but may overheat on extended sessionsSent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
  12. Well, easter is almost upon us so watch out for a steam sale[emoji6] Though I think it may break your laptop... Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
  13. It's excellent Rich, it looks gorgeous too on high settings. If you ever get it, let me know, I've not played with anyone else.Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
  14. Yep, wait for Ark Survival Evolved if you wanna see this kind of thing done properly. I have it on Steam and recommend it. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
  15. Total Biscuit's WTF basically summed it up as a wasted idea. Far Cry 4 lite. If it was priced like Blood Dragon I may have taken a punt.
  16. For PS4 I will also be waiting for Amazon to deliver, I have the day off, plus the rest of the week. On Steam I expect to have instant access, not heard anything about the pre-load yet though.
  17. Your understanding of the local venacular is pucka me old china The Italians were gutted, bless them, according the press they couldn't understand how they lost)...whereas I (oh my dear, football cliche to rule them all inbound)....I was over the moon.
  18. Funnily enough, all the mouthy ones at work (who are suddenly silent this season because they're glory hunting isn't used to things not going their way) keep telling me Spurs will win the league. I just tell then I'm enjoying the season but I'm not foolish enough to think more than one game ahead. Funnily enough it's only the arsenal fans who seem to have any sense at my workplace. But yeah, goes without saying, Come On You Spurs
  19. ^same as that glad I took the time to listen
  20. Sorry Rob, I was a bit worse for wear in the end last night. My boys smashed the Italians all the way back to Florence.
  21. Hopefully Bethesda will have thought about implications around fast travel and will adjust other things accordingly. Other than that, your bad vibes are bringing me down guys
  22. GTA 5 is awesome on PC. But yeah, these things are sent to test us. Send us your problem and PC specs, maybe we* can help. *Saying 'we' I actually mean dave and bart
  23. So, three English teams through the Europa quarter finals. Very happy with the Spurs performance last night. The Italians are third in Serie A and we made them look wank. Got the Boche next, Dortmund are a VERY good team so I look forward to a good contest. Scoucers v Scallys will also be one to watch. National burglary figures will take a hit that night Our home game is on Paddy's day so that will be very very messy indeed
  24. Yes, yes, oh god yes. And various other exclamations along the lines of the "I'll have what she's having" variety/ Yes Rob this looks awesome. Only a matter of time before Fallout goes MMO. I wish.
