    Spec check - 11.6" casual gaming laptop

    Can I ask where this is from? from the screen size I would guess ************.co.uk? That price looks great.

    Guild Wars 2

    Thinking about jumping into GW2 (I always get the MMO itch around Xmas, memory's of playing WoW at this time of year) question I had was: how bad is the hacking / can you be hacked with a mobile authenticator? I have read some story's regarding GW2 that suggests it's possible even if you do...

    ***** PlayStation Vita Official Thread *****

    Is Monster Hunter Freedom Unite available in the UK Vita store? I don't have a PS3 but I had heard some people couldn't dl it without one in the EU, just thought I would check before I take the plunge (without a new one in site it's kind of a must).

    Guild Wars 2

    Aug / Sept would be my guess, Q3 seems to be the window they are aiming for.

    Lenovo x121e netbook

    Same here, they are pimping the X1 carbon and new ideapads right now but I haven't seen anything of the IB version of this beauty.

    Brydge - New iPad Keyboard/Case

    Like it or hate it, it won't be out until October! you might only have 5 months use out of it. You are taking a huge risk that the iPad 2013 will keep the same form factor otherwise you are having to wait for them to make a new one and paying over again. I love the look of it myself /shrug.

    Portable Laptop with decent graphics card?

    Well you can turn off the "red" (the led lights) so it's all black, it's not bulky but the styling is definitely not for everyone. It gets my vote as well, the r3 is a nifty little piece of kit.

    ***Official DC Universe Online Thread***

    Thanks, I did (although I launch the launcher via Steam). It's a great game, combat feels great.

    ***Official DC Universe Online Thread***

    So I installed this on Steam overnight, and upon launch tonight it then trys to (via the launcher) verify files and install another 12gigs! I close it, re-open and then it's trying to install 18 gigs it seems (but says it already has done 6gigs...), anyone else had this?

    *** The Official Diablo III Thread ***

    It's a fair question, considering people still play D2 today over 10 years after it's release. Take the loot mechanic from any MMO and grind it down to the simplest form and you have Diablo. That's the hook, constant improvement of gear allowing you to be more powerful and kill scarier things...

    Path of Exile(diablo clone)

    I have been loving this beta, for one the content is vast. My main gripes are largely aesthetic, for one I find the camera to a bit too far zoomed in, having played the D3 beta I am more comfortable with that level of zoom and find myself wanting to "zoom out" a little playing Exile. Might just...

    Guild Wars 2

    I find TB a bit off putting yes, I know it's his persona and that's what some people enjoy but I tend to find him arrogant. I agree with many of his opinions as well, it's just he puts them across in a way that says "this is the gospel as I think it and any counter-points are ill-informed"...

    *** The Official Diablo III Thread ***

    Anyone else in the beta finding it sluggish in the UK? No EU servers yet so ping is about 200ms but it still feels slow (pretty quick connection, no issues with other games). Oh and the downloader is really slow as well right now.

    Guild Wars 2

    Actually no, they have said in the past that they want it optimized for all hardware, so much so that they were ordering old graphics cards off Ebay just to test it out. They know the key to WoW's success was that it can run on a hamster wheel, expect to be able to play GW2 on anything current.

    *** The Official Diablo III Thread ***

    I have been in the Beta for a couple of weeks now, between Skyrim and MW3 I haven't had a load of time with it but impressions so far (after the latest patch): 1. It needs optimising. I can run Skyrim on high at stable fps but D3 lags a little too often, also the netcode is still a bit shakey...

    I want a new shooter, BF3 or MW3 ?

    Yeah TotalBiscuit keeps saying on his channel that it is (so far) better than both MW3 and BF3 by a long way. I think CS:GO and Ghost Recon On-line / Future Soldier may also find a decent following.

    I want a new shooter, BF3 or MW3 ?

    It's on D2D and Origin in the UK, might be on more but it is not (and probably never will be) on Steam. Origin is EA's online store that works via a client much like Steam, but just for EA games, caused plenty of controversy, surprised you hadn't heard...

    I want a new shooter, BF3 or MW3 ?

    MW3 does indeed look fine with the right settings, but compared to BF3 it doesn't look so hot. As you say though, it's irrelevant, CS:S is still more played than both of them. I actually had a great night last night on a dedicated server, once you fave a few decent ones in terms of ping and...

    I want a new shooter, BF3 or MW3 ?

    I had the same dilemma, my final solution was to get both, but pro's and con's in my opinion: BF3 Pro's: Visually Stunning Amazing Audio Great depth of unlocks Vehicles On PC it will have a longer lifespan Proper Dedi servers BF3 Cons: Origin Weird, browser based menus Glitchy /...
