    What board game loot did you get?

    I didn't get any for Christmas, but i asked for some for my birthday which was on the 5th. I ended up getting Power Grid, King of Tokyo and Smash Up as late birthday presents, which will be fun playing with friends as i have played them before and they are so much fun.

    *****EGOSOFT TNBT (X Rebirth)****

    I'm thinking i'll be purchasing a new GFX card around late October time. :) Currently running i5 3570k 8GB RAM 275GTX Looks like Guild Wars 2 might take a back seat after a full year of my gaming attention :)

    *****EGOSOFT TNBT (X Rebirth)****

    X Rebirth now has a release date, announced today 15th November for Europe (19th for US) They have also released the first trailer and some new videos showing a lot of ingame footage and the UI and control layout. No wonder it took them 7 years to develop. Looks absolutely stunning :)...

    Guild Wars 2

    ArenaNet have posted the following on their support site. Announcements: Our game servers are currently unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience and our best Asura engineers are furiously working on it! We know you've been waiting a long time for this weekend but we ask a *bit* more...

    Guild Wars 2

    I'm just happy that when i played earlier for about 4 hours, i leveled up to lvl 7, so I got my Charr Engineer out of the starting area and out into the main part of Plains of Ashford. This is because even if i don't get to play much now this weekend while they get the servers stable and running...

    I can't even connect to the update server now, that's being hammered so much. LOL

    £600 budget gaming pc

    Thanks for the other suggestions honosuseri and tamzzy. Forgot to update this thread to say that i purchased the items that Lukie listed the following day when the retail i5 (I'm not an overclocking type of person) dropped in price except the case. So i only spent £503 in total for a much better...

    £600 budget gaming pc

    I just checked and my dvd drive isn't SATA so it'll need replacing. also compared the size of the 7850 to the 275 and the 7850 is a 'tiny' little thing in comparison :) I'd feel like i'd break the wee little fella haha. Thanks for the help. I'll be ordering sometime over the weekend. :)

    £600 budget gaming pc

    Sorry for the slow reply. But thank you for the responses. Today i tested my power supply and it is still working fine after the pc failure, so i will be reusing it as well as the hard drive for the short term. So the suggestion by LukieBoy looks extremely delicious for a new build. The only...

    £600 budget gaming pc

    It is an Athlon II X2 4400 2.4Ghz 4gb ddr2 667mhz Corsair TX650w psu (I know it's overkill but was bought cheap for planned upgrades that didn't happen) 160gb hdd GTX 275 896mb It failed on me this morning but I was planning to upgrade it in a few months anyway.

    £600 budget gaming pc

    I want to replace my old pc with something with a bit more grunt without breaking my bank. I thought I'd ask on here for opinions rather than running to the store and clicking buy buy buy. I have £600 to spend on the tower and will be playing games like Guild Wars 2. I already have a Wireless N...

    Guild Wars 2

    Really hyped about the game now. Only one problem for me though. I have pre-purchased, but i'll be away until the 4th, so apart from I think the first day, I will miss the first week. But I guess that means i will miss the chaos of the initial surge and allows the markets to fill up with gear...

    Guild Wars 2

    The constant crashing i had during the last beta when i went into foggy/misty areas was non-existant this time. That was the first thing I checked, I ran to an area I consistantly had repeated screenfreezes/crashes before and it was as smooth as silk. Had the odd crash and disconnect but it was...

    Guild Wars 2

    Personally, I can see there being one more beta to add the last two races and get them running next month, then maybe a final stress test after that. Both of which probably running the game off the GPU instead of the CPU as it has been to get it running well for release. Then a final release...

    Guild Wars 2

    For anyone thats taking part in the stress test in just under 3 hours time. Remember to patch your client before the test begins. Nothing more annoying that clicking the icon to play a game then realising that you have a huge patch to download and having to wait ages for it to download while you...

    Guild Wars 2

    It's quite fun, but also quite tricky to get your head around when you start playing it as like many have said. Once you start playing an engineer, to play one effectively, you have to remember, you're more a support role throwing out conditions on enemies or buffs on allies with the elixir gun...

    Guild Wars 2

    That elementalist video has made me consider trying one during the next beta when it's announced. They look pretty sweet. I've been running a Charr engineer till now.
