    Looks like there won't be any FPS Russia vids for a while

    I seriously doubt he is actually stood there for the explosion. It's far more likely there is just a video of him firing a weapon overlaid on top of a video a car/whatever exploding. So yeah, like his accent, it's fake.

    Personally I think it's probable that the issue you're having with steam is more likely due to hardware failure than any rare hardware incompatibilities (especially, as it has already been pointed out, you have a pretty common hardware combination). In the past when I've had components fail...

    Honestly the Origin thing almost seems like a ploy to me to try and get more people to use it, instead of just loading it whenever they want to play BF3.

    iPhone 5 Detail Today

    Not convinced the A6 actually contains dual A15s. Anandtech are the only ones to have reported this and they seem to have based this solely on Apples claims of 2x the performance of the 4S, and considering that the ip4s only had dual ~800mhz A9s i think it's probably more likely that the ip5...

    ***** BitFenix Prodigy Cases - Ideal for LAN events! *******

    Just measured mine and without the handles the height would be roughly 30.5cm.

    OCZ Vertex 2E 120gb owners!

    It's because that particular benchmark uses non-compressible data. Using a benchmark like ATTO you will see figures very close to the ones provided in the specs. In reality neither benchmark is indicative of actual performance as you will be using a combination of compressible and...

    For those wondering about sniper ghost warrior I'd recommend avoiding it. For a stealth based game the stealth mechanics in it are truly terrible. For example if you fail to kill an enemy in one shot every enemy on the map instantly knows where you are, and becoming hidden again is virtually...

    Apple vs Samsung, court orders Samsung to show Apple 5 new phones

    Wow... even my electric toothbrush has an inductive charging dock. Apple vs Braun next?

    Yodel - Delivery company you should avoid at all costs!

    I'm pretty sure they do this in my area. Had about 5 parcels delivered through them now, and each time the package didn't get delivered because it was "put on the wrong van". When they finally do get around to delivering the parcel it's always in a hire van a few days after the designated...

    Far Cry 3

    I wonder if they have fixed the stealth mechanics this time (one of my main gripes with far cry 2 considering the emphasis on stealth in the original).

    Samsung S2 no longer charging. Vodafone

    With my old phone the micro usb port got so clogged up with pocket fluff that it couldn't be plugged in properly to charge.

    Farcry 2, Why all the hate,

    One of the main issues for me was the A.I. Fail to kill an enemy in 1 silenced shot and every opponent within a 50 mile radius knew your precise location, with no way of becoming hidden again. This became far more irritating when the enemies got mortars later in the game, because if you stood...

    Red Orchestra (2) : Heroes of Stalingrad

    Some servers run higher realism settings which means no mini-map and more deadly friendly fire.

    20SUM-MERSA-VINGS still works.

    Red Orchestra (2) : Heroes of Stalingrad

    That's a bug. If you're unlucky sometimes you can get a couple of them on your screen. They can also be blue. Also with regards to bolt actions, yes they are harder to use effectively than smgs, but once you have learned the maps and got accustomed to using them they are very effective and...

    Red Orchestra (2) : Heroes of Stalingrad

    Enjoying it so far, although the lack of maps in the beta is starting to get annoying already (I guess it gives me something to look forward to when the full game is released).

    Red Orchestra (2) : Heroes of Stalingrad

    According to the tripwire devs the date for the beta hasn't changed since the release date was pushed back. So in theory the beta should arrive sometime before the 30th of August. Also I doubt there will be beta keys for people who bought the deluxe edition until the beta starts (if there are...

    Red Orchestra (2) : Heroes of Stalingrad

    Just a heads up, using the code SUNNY-SAVER-20PEC you can get this for £17/20 (standard/deluxe) on greenmangaming (activates on steam).

    Thoughts on Far Cry 2, any useful mods? (plus other games)

    The issue with the stealth mechanics in FC2 was the fact that if you get spotted, every enemy within a 50 mile radius instantly knows exactly where you are and worse still there is no way of becoming 'hidden' again other than killing every single enemy. Then later in the game there is the added...

    I like the bin mod for far cry 2.
