    The Dark Tower (Warning: Book Spoilers)

    The other books have a verrrry different feel. Would suggest at least trying the second book and seeing how you go. Imo it is one of the most unique non-traditional fantasy series out there and an extremely enjoyable read.

    US: The Flash (2014)

    So I stopped watching some time during the Gorilla City episodes - can someone tell me if it got any better after that and if any episodes are skippable?

    The Dark Tower (Warning: Book Spoilers)

    Hope you didn't just stop at 'The Gunslinger' - it is pretty much the prequel novella to the whole series!

    Origin

    Ditto, no issues with the platform yet (apart from some weird regional behaviour on Access) but by and large does what it says on the tin, which is play EA exclusives.

    i5 2500K - When Will It Die?

    Tech Report also posted a very interesting article on the topic - 2600k vs 7700k: http://techreport.com/review/31410/a-bridge-too-far-migrating-from-sandy-to-kaby-lake/2 TLDR: It is subjective and game-dependent but huge gains can be made depending on your specific use-case.

    i5 2500K - When Will It Die?

    HardOCP posted a 7700k vs 2600k comparison just one month back: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2017/01/13/kaby_lake_7700k_vs_sandy_bridge_2600k_ipc_review/5 Pretty much confirms the consensus on Sandy imo.

    O/C staff, how much ryzen hardware will you have at launch?

    Lol. Tbf this is true of pretty much any tech or enthusiast forum.

    Need your advice single parents...

    I would say I coped fairly well. In spite of all the dysfunctions, even years later I still miss the relationship sometimes, but once I remember the reasons, I feel better. Being away from the kids was and is the hardest part. I get why so many men who walk away will start a new family...

    *** Battlefield 1 ***

    You still can...maybe it depends on type of mine? Certainly still can deploy 2 for the incendiary.

    Firefox 51.0 = bye chrome

    Still using FF as my main browser and can't really complain. Chrome is fast and snappy, but offering my entire browsing patterns up for free to Google is a step way too far.

    Big drop in BF1 performance on Nvidia add since December update

    Yes indeed it is. Give it a shot, hopefully it helps.

    Big drop in BF1 performance on Nvidia add since December update

    Just to update the above - the latest Nvidia drivers appears to have restored performance somewhat back to previous levels. Everything running much better than before :cool:

    *** Battlefield 1 ***

    How much time have you played for? I was at your level of despair till at least the 10 hour mark (you can check my previous posts about it). Suffice to say it has come together beautifully since then, but my only gripe is that for pure CQ play, feels like a lack of content, especially due to...

    Big drop in BF1 performance on Nvidia add since December update

    Yes can confirm worse performance since patch but still using the previous GeForce drivers at present. Running a 1070/2600K/8 GB RAM and performance degraded after the first patch, and now even worse since the second....:/

    Was that just SLI though? Performance took a hit in general AFAIK...

    PC Gaming is Dead

    The rumour was started at the onset of the sixth-generation of consoles i.e. PS2, XBox. It continued, garnering various degrees of support from gaming industry figureheads, particularly those who had a vested interest in AAA-exclusives and/or console FPS/action games suited to the more casual...

    *** Battlefield 1 ***

    I hear you - let me point you to my last thoughts on the game, which were remarkably similar to yours at the 30-35 hour mark: Now nearing the 80 hour mark, I have to say the game is keeping me coming back in spite of my initial impressions. The skill-base has gone way up since the early...

    ****MASS EFFECT : ANDROMEDA****

    One of those trailers that completely de-hypes me for the game. It just looks so flat somehow...you would think they would have been able to showcase it better, but probably it is the fact that AAA reveals like this feel so pedestrian. Compare it to the Del Toro/Kojima game reveal and tell me...

    Most reliable hard drive?

    To those recommending WD, link to the specific model? Are the NAS drives suitable for a home desktop PC?
