Similar sort of visual style to Unreal Tournament I would say.

Cheers for all that, that's good to know. Does gaming performance tend to be determined more by CPU or graphics card these days? Yeah I'm still running Windows XP. I hear Vista is shite also. I don't mind spending more than £500, it's not like I'm stuck to a particular budget. I just don't...

What structural elements of social immobility? Also, "social equality" is neither a fair nor a desirable outcome anyway. It's a nice-sounding phrase used to describe the process of taking away what people have earned and giving it to others who haven't. Nothing fair about that, any more than...

Well if Crysis 2 is anything like the original, then that's a pretty sound recommendation. Good price too by the looks of it, I'll bag that one then I think. Cheers. :)

Thanks guys, that's really helpful. It's hard to say in terms of a budget actually, because as far as I can gather computers are a hell of a lot cheaper than when I used to build them so I wouldn't expect to spend as much. I had a figure of around £500 in mind, and if it's cheaper then great...

To be fair, anyone with a modicum of intelligence and initiative, and the right attitude, can do far better for themselves than working for minimum wage. Emotional intelligence and social aptitude is what really opens doors for you in life anyway, not academic ability. On the other hand, I...

Hey folks, I'm looking to put together a new gaming PC. Only trouble is, I haven't been interested in games for a few years now, I think my current PC is about 7 years old, and I haven't kept up with the technology at all - so I have no idea what's good (and more to the point, good and...

Just because something is hard work doesn't make it difficult. If pretty much anyone can do something, than by definition it's not really that difficult. It might be tiring, hard graft, but still not difficult. Highly paid people are highly paid because a) very few people are able and/or...

Good old daytime drinking. Can't beat it.

That's ambitious! It will be worth waiting for I'm sure, although summer seems to get shorter and shorter with every passing year... Especially up your way, I was up in Cheshire at the beginning of June, it was bloody freezing!

I wouldn't say that, although it's nice of you to say so! I know a guy within my field who gets up at 5AM, studies sales, recruiting or anything else relevant to his work for an hour every morning, and gets into the office by 7:30. Makes 80-100 phone calls every single day, working with laser...

It's a middleman business. Hence why it works just as well as a one-man band as it does a multinational corporation. We recruit people for our clients' vacancies, and if we place someone with them then they pay us a fee of 30% of their starting salary. It's a sales business because we first...

If you're looking at one of those silly online salary comparison things, they're total nonsense when it comes to sales jobs. Firstly, they classify sales as anything from working in retail to board-level corporate sales. Secondly, they only take into account basic salary. My basic salary is...

My company has five people in it. My boss is the owner of the company. Hard to say, as always it's ups and downs. Assuming I do the same the second half of the year as I have in the first, then it should be about £75,000. Last year I earned sod all, however. Commission is self-financing...

It's exactly how it works in a sales business. My boss pays himself a salary. The rest of us earn 20% of whatever we invoice, in addition to a very modest salary. If I was doing the same job in the US, it would likely be on a self-employed commission-only basis with somewhat more generous...

Lots of people call themselves headhunters. Most of them actually are not. Recruitment consultants advertise jobs on the internet and send a bunch of relevant CVs from the applications to their clients, and often do little else besides that. Headhunters help companies to figure out exactly...

The point people seem to frequently miss about capitalism, is that it's not about people taking stuff. Whatever money is earned, is due to even greater value that has been created as a result of that transaction - which is why someone was willing to pay you for it in the first place...

I don't have a front desk, and I only work for good companies. How am I supposed to persuade the best people in the industry to go and work for a shit company? It doesn't work like that. In fact it's the opposite, I recruit people out of mediocre companies into excellent ones and dramatically...

The principles are identical, whatever line of business you're in, and wherever you operate. People make companies. Great people make great companies. All the other challenges facing a company are automatically taken care of by hiring the right people to do the right things. Great leaders...

Labour and production is only relevant in terms of the manufacturing industry and manual labour - which, in case you hadn't noticed, we don't have much of anymore. This is "show up and put in your hours" work. Anyone can do it and it doesn't make a great deal of difference how good that person...
