  1. I'm much less stressed at the moment (with gaming anyway). There are so many easy improvements to make that could lift everyone 2-300 SR overnight. Playing as a team, is very rewarding. The guy I played with last night has played at GM level on PC with a controller, that's insane. It's game sense over mechanical every time.
  2. So I headed over to our friends at OCUK to see if I could find some friends to play overwatch with. A couple of guys added me and I grabbed a game with one. One small problem, he peaked at about Master, and I'm wallowing in Gold, fortunately he's bombed enough so I can play. I've been playing a lot of soldier so thought I'd give it a whirl. I just get my ass handed to me. Shut down at every possible turn. The rest of the team (understandably) are getting a bit pissed off with me. We lost the first round hard. I decide to mix it up and get my star player out. Moira to the rescue. I start well and even when the team die, I'm holding the point giving people a chance to come back without giving it away. Couple of nicely timed ults as we press on. The key thing with Moira is that the ult is primarily a healing tool. At this level blowing an ult for damage alone is a no-no. Round 2 won, team are happier. Round 3, more of the same, getting into it now. Falling back and moving as a unit, something sadly you just don't get to experience on quick play. It's pretty obvious that the SR doesn't directly translate to PC from PS4, I was working really hard to not die. Playing attacking Bastion here would not be smart. Anyway, there you have it!
  3. Couldn't have you pulling *too* far ahead. Bought an i5 7600K CPU. I'll get a better mobo for ze overclocks later.
  4. I still need to tidy wires up, but this is my room. I work during the day and game at night. Need some wall art sorting though.
  5. First things first. LEDs are awesome. The more you have, the better your life is. FACT. Good. Nvidia all the way, although G-sync is nice to have it's not essential. I run at 144hz, and I'm really not sure I can tell the difference. 30 to 60hz is the real eye opener, that's when you know you are PC gaming. AMD are every bit as good as Intel these days, and to be honest better at some things worse at others, but not in a massively noticeable way. I've been toying with the idea of running my PS4 through a capture card. You could effectively play windowed. Save the outlay for 2 screens, and you can make awesome vids too, and overlay webcam to twitch. You could be a famous streamer! 2K is dream build, and honestly you won't pay anywhere near that.
  6. Nice. Bread and water for dinner?
  7. I've added you on steam.
  8. I had an Atari STFM with a ram upgrade running cubase on a monchrome monitor alongside a Korg M1. I'm using a Roland FA08 now with ableton live and sometimes cubase on my laptop, but mostly just enjoy playing live stuff and messing with the internal workstation features on the synth. Bought a Korg krome, but sent it back because the the keys were terrible (my roland is weighted). I also play drums in a band doing rock covers. I'm really into retro synth stuff at the moment, as a result I'm pretty much the only person enjoying Muse's new album. there is a music thread around here somewhere, feel free to drop in and post anything you have created. Regarding Laptops, keep an eye on Hot UK Deals (google hukd) it's where you'll find some good bargains.
  9. Most of the fan noise would come from the graphics card. My guess is that when you are running your DAW, it wouldn't stress the laptop *too* much, unless you run a billion VSTs.
  10. Noticed you haven't commented on my constructive input. Via the FG App
  11. What CPU you running? Via the FG App
  12. I'm new to this so I have been a bit restrained. I've had my doubts about the posts you flagged, but I have to admit, that I thought your responses were great.
  13. Loving this at the moment.
  14. A star is born. Great movie, and even Lady Gaga comes across as "not a dick". Music is awesome, Bradley cooper is a good director.

  16. Good news! Nvidia have literally within the past month opened up the G-sync platform and aligned it to adaptive sync. So That means you can use any variable refresh monitor!
  17. Freesync ≠ G-sync
  18. I thought you were going soft until I saw what you had done.......
  19. Deffo go for a g-sync monitor. It adds a bit of cost, but locks the frame rate to your GPU so you don't get screen tearing. I'll have a dig about. Via the FG App
  20. I have this damn game. Now I can actually run it, I'm having a ball.
  21. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-47211111 When will it end????????????
  22. Have a listen to the new Weezer teal album. Some good covers. Via the FG App
  23. Making money that way (ie. doing fuck all) always carries a risk that someone will get offended and it will all come crashing down.
