I thoroughly enjoyed it. Way more than I thought I would. I like the games, but I'm not obsessed or a story nerd. I've finished Fallout 3, New Vegas and played mostly Fallout 4, but given a choice of watching more of that and playing any of the games, I think I'd take the TV series.

1997's finest: AMD K6 233 64MB ram, I think ATX mobo (new at the time) 24x CD-ROM 3.2GB Maxtor HDD Matrox Mystique AWE64 sound card. Windows 98SE I can't remember what monitor I had at first. I remember buying a Hansol 19" flat CRT, but that was later.

I am OP because I can do pirouetting flips and pirouetting tic-tocs with a radio controlled helicopter, and I doubt any of the other 170,000 members on this whole forum can. Evidence available.

Greed, but I don't think that was an invention.

So sad. Raymond Holt is the funniest character I've seen in an American sit-com. Just thinking about him doing the birthday dance when they're in Florida is making me laugh as I type.

The forum was grey with gun avatars back in my day, when it was all just fields 'round 'ere.

Change the horrible wheels, and it's a looker. Like the old Astons from "when I were a lad".

Nope. They're dead. I used to be on a lot of Radio Control forums, but all the content that used to be go onto forums is now posted to facebook groups, and the forums are just a snapshot of what used to be with a fraction of the traffic.

Now I've watched them all, I liked Demon 79, then Joan is Awful best. Loch Henry was too predictable - like a Tales of the Unexpected episode, and the space one was pretty weak too. I won't even mention the other one, as it's not worthy of it.

So we picked today to get a new contract, and therefore all new gear. Great choice there. First they cut off the old equipment at 5 past midnight, so no internet, TV or phone until the new equipment arrives. I get the new gear delivered about 4:30PM. Plug it in, none of it works. I've no...

6 or 7 is about what I can take without getting a stinking hangover. I'll be dehydrated, and won't sleep very well, but I can stand it. I usually have about 1 per hour that I'm out, and if I go out, it's usually from 7-8PM until 1-2AM. If I'm out longer than that, I'll try to switch to soft...

I just looked up that Gillette advert, because I had no idea what you were all going on about. Did people seriously stop buying Gillette because they want men to behave better?

That's not allowed. You can't just run buried cables in walls with no sign that they're there unless they're within 150mm of a corner. Good summary here: https://flameport.com/wiring_regulations/BS7671_selected_subjects/zones_concealed_cables.cs4 It's been a long time since I ran cables, but...

20-05-2004 I was around back then. I joined the forums in 1999. More a reader than a poster, and always have been.

Thanks for the responses so far. I guess I was just shocked, as usually, the bare minimum, they're in those plastic clam-shell thingies that give them a bit of bounce. Anyway, it's going in and I'll put it through Unraid's pre-clear cycle before it's added to the array. If it turns out it is...

I heard a clatter this morning, and my new brand HDD for my server had been posted through my letter box, and obviously fell 3 or so feet to the floor. So, two questions before I break the seal in the anti-static bag. 1) Since when was it common practice to send 3.5" HDDs through the post in a...

They're bolts. The part that turns is on the back of the watch. One for each bolt. So that bolt has been out and put back incorrectly. Can't help you with RRP. Watch prices have gone insane since I stopped paying attention. The last time I paid attention, a ceramic SS Daytona on the used...

They sell those on the shopping channels for sub £100. Just Chinese cheap stuff sold for many times it's production cost.

Galaxy S5, from 2015. I've no intention of changing it unless it breaks. It has a removable, user replaceable battery. Remember those?

In order of hours: RAID:Shadow Legends (mobile/PC game - free to play, pay to win) By far the most time I've spent on any game, and because I've never spent a penny on it, the trade off for that is time. Coming up on 18 months of playing 2 accounts without missing a single day, and it's...
