  1. I wonder if WMD will get this one free (on Steam) again
  2. Getting the impression that there's no MP at all in this game, besides a big database of player names and discoveries. Which is a bit sad. I "get" that you wouldn't discover many players out there (scale), but it would good if you could crew up with friends. Hopefully I'm wrong though!
  3. I know, I know, I'll have a look at some soundbars later.
  4. [headline]Expansion Pack #1: Audi's + New Track: Ruapuna[/headline] SMS have delivered the first big DLC for Project Cars for a surprisingly low price of $5.49/£4.39 available now on PC(shortly), PS4 and Xbox One. Sauce
  5. As of today I'm all set up with loads of IPTV streams in XBMC/Kodi :)
  6. It's no longer the weekend, and it's no longer reduced. Unless the 'normal' price has changed since last week.
  7. There are other apps (Xfire, Overwolf) that provide similar tracking if installed. I'm sure GTA would have its own counter in profile stats. My list would contain Gran Turismo 5+6 if only for league racing.
  8. Parents? :) I don't have any Netflix-style subscriptions. Down here there is no a-la-carte or one decent bundle. There are about 5 premium TV providers each with their own exclusives, the largest with a bunch of its own variety of bundled packages which, much like Forza DLC, contain 1 or 2 interests with a whole load of extra fluff. So screw them all, I say. For that reason PlayStation Vue seemed interesting, although currently limited to two USA locations.
  9. Using your main platform(s) of choice, sort your games by time wasted and share a list up here. You may surprise yourself. Here are mine, I haven't launched a lot of these games in years!
  10. A Digital Versatile Disc that can playback movies up to an astonishing 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL). And yet 1080p feels like it's been around forever, but that's all BluRay does. Digital TV is often 720p or 1080i. By the time a bigger disc standard becomes semi-popular for 1440p or 4k the next res will be starting to become popular, which is kind-of why it's already nearing it's death. Unless of course we reach 8k which is rumoured to be the max any human can perceive.
  11. I once visited someone who had either a LG or Samsung TV (they're too similar) who recently added a soundbar by the same brand (which means it can share the same remote control as the TV) and while not being anything like a cinema, it was still much much better than any built-in TV speakers I've heard, which typically face the wrong way to start off with. So I guess just check if the wattage is decent enough and user reviews and go for any one beyond that if you're a casual viewer and don't want a cumbersome 5.1 setup with wires going everywhere and the inconvenience of setting AV inputs correctly.
  12. Yeah, I'm just testing on an old work PC for now, will install SQL Server and VS 2013 and see if everything works before moving my SSD across and deciding what to install for realsies. Getting the TV tuner to work without Media Center will be the hardest task. There are other solutions out there but none are anywhere near as close as nice to operate with a remote control when I'm half asleep.
  13. I wonder if Djey has ever tried to get 100 cars into one of his TDU1 server bubbles
  14. The only catch with a pirated version of Win10 is that they have to stay in the Windows Insider (beta testing) group to try all the new builds/features before others. If that means registering with Microsoft, I'm not sure how many pirates will want to do that. For the rest of us, even IT Pros, Microsoft is trying to convince us that upgrading is better than a clean install, and that their upgrade tech in Win10 is nothing like previous editions. While I'd still personally prefer a clean install to upgrading a 5yo installation, you may need to complete the upgrade once in order to get your key, and then start over with a clean install. Subject to change when the final build comes out and people experiment, but so far it sounds like this is the procedure: Install all Windows Updates for Windows 7, 8.1 Reserve free copy of Windows 10 Download Windows 10 but don't start installation straight away. Decrypt and extract an ISO file from the download: clicky Burn ISO or use Rufus (freeware) to create bootable USB. Keep somewhere safe for future years. Backup important files just in case. Launch Windows 10 setup from within your existing Windows OS. Choose to keep everything and complete the upgrade. Verify that Windows 10 is activated. Microsoft now knows about your PC (motherboard) and has a record of it being licensed for Windows 10 Standard (Home)/Pro You should now be able to wipe the PC and clean install if you desire, as MS knows about your PC being licensed. Remember, the license was dependant on UPGRADING from Windows 7 or 8 (or even an earlier 10 build as I've just done). You should be able to Skip entering a product key during clean installation or possibly use a shared public key that tells MS to check your hardware. If you haven't previously activated Windows 10 then you get a message that the key is blocked. This information applies to build 10240 which was released to insiders 5 days ago and seems near-final. Microsoft are not distributing an ISO for this build any more although you can find one elsewhere. If you have a spare PC and you want to test ahead of July 29, install an older Win10 build and then upgrade to 10240 after activating the first build.
  15. So, uh, did you learn anything worth sharing here?
  16. Did you end up risking on the early access Dirt Rally with FF changes?
  17. And the first car to come with a GoPro mount as standard is... Ok den
  18. Patch 2.0 made it out to Xbox 1 recently and Patch 2.5 has just been released to PC only. Details in the OP.
  19. Welcome Tom. The first thing you can give us is your teeth. :cheeese:
  20. Much like International SysAdmin Day and International Talk Like a Pirate day, I often forget until a few days later.
  21. The whole season is on YouTube Litter clip was pretty funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opUzYvVPKMc
  22. Happy International Forum Moderators Appreciation Day 2015!!!
