Hey. I have 2 kids also, I tend to just grab 20 minutes of gaming here and there. Glad to hear you are comfortable, I passed off bitcoin when my mate suggested it, he's dissapeared to Cornwall, so I guess he did well too! But I can't complain, I started my own business in my 20s and it's doing...

Great, Getting on with life, practically gave up gaming for about 10 years but VR has reinvigorated my interest. Half Life: Alyx is ****ing sick and I'm going to play HL2, Episode 1 and Episode 2 with the VR mods. Interesting fact: despite my obsession with Half Life 2 and activity on these...

In pretty sure this forum has enough of our recorded posts to reconstruct us using AI and just start posting again. If that's the case, my bot should start going on about punching Land Rovers and all the other crap I used to talk. And that was a very bizarre, but pleasant feeling posting on...

Hey man, you were the guy who liked Arma weren't you? I used to love a bit of DayZ!

Never forgotten

Hello. Veteran members may also remember me as Short Recoil. How are you guys? I hadn't played a Half-Life game in over a decade but recently I have been playing Half-Life: Alyx. Amazing game! Out of curiosity I wondered what had happened to the old halflife2.net forums and to my amazement...

Dreams can have a loosely interpretable meaning (i.e they are related to current desires, fears etc) It is theorised (and extended theorem by myself) that dreaming is the brains equivalent to muscular repair response to exercise. When a muscle action is repeatedly used the body will improve...

Interesting question as me and 2 mates are doing a road trip of europe and have a spare slot.... (the original car stereo takes 2, new mp3 cd player only one) I was thinking it probably makes the most sense to have some sort of CD storage in there, spring loaded pop out storage of CD's You...

I was expecting something like this

How are you gentlemen?

Fair play but i don't think he is in a suitable state for combat and could potentially bring danger to his squadron. The safety and efficiency of the armed forces comes before any sort of honour or heroics.

Just got a new rig: i7 920 @ 3.4gig, 6gig ram, GTX 285. Main game thats going to be played is arma 2. (along with some racing games, assorted fps and whatever else takes my fancy) Now i havn't got a monitor yet for this new setup (currently have a 19" LCD nicked from my dads computer) I'm...

I've ordered it with the GTX 285 now. Hopefully i won't regret that choice over the radeon 4870 X2.

The gtx 260 runs arma 2 at 38fps, the gtx 285 at 48fps on a benchmark with comparable hardware to the spec above. The difference in price is £79 from the vendor i'm buying from. The GTX 260 would also be an expensive piece of sh*t next year but a year or two gaming at 48fps compared to...

From what i've read you're prob best getting a new processor and graphics card if you want to run arma 2 at higher settings. It's been badly optimized. The system i'm looking at i'm not expecting anymore than 50fps at high settings.

Ok guys i really didn't want the stress of building so i spotted this system: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-030-OE&tool=5 With the antec 900 case, vista premium 64bit and a GTX 285 card it comes to £1055 ($1697) not bad! To me that appears a pretty 'sensible' and...

Unfermented soy isn't a very good quality food for humans i'm afraid. There are a lot of articles with extreme viewpoints making it out as a poison, it's nothing like that but as a person who has studied nutrition for the last 5 years i can recommend consuming very limited quantities. At the...

I reckon she would have lived longer if she hadn't seen it, or at least lived a day longer if they delayed showing it. The human body actually has a certain degree of control on death, if you are brutally determined to live various stress hormones keep you alive that bit longer. It's like...

Thanks for the good advice guys. I think i'm going to cap what i spend on the PC for now to £1000 (1635 USD), The CPU market isn't as simple as it used to be when people largely went by the megahurtz! It seems like i'm going to have to do some heavy research, ARMA 2 is out in a week but i may...

It's been a long while since i've done any gaming but i feel the time is right to get back into it, ARMA 2 has caught my interest, i was into OFP in a big way. I built a top of the range computer for half life 2 (3800+, X800XTPE, 2gig ram or something) but i gave that to my brother and...
