I assume cable is out of the question? I did read the thread but feel it's such an obvious suggestion that i may have missed it being mentioned. I was never able to get decent pings on ADSL in either of my two homes over the past 10 years via various providers, 120-150ms was the lowest i'd evr...

This is exactly why you find yourself a bunch of decent people to play with and remove global channels from your chat tab unless in Mass PvP/Seiges/Organised events. Oh and ignore forums other than the announcements and class/build/quest etc sections lol. MMO'ers in general are pigs, but it's...

2 new power sets being added to the game today with the issue 17 update, Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning. Well, added today if you've pre-ordered the Going Rogue expansion due out in July ish. There's a couple more new ones coming when the expansion hits, Electric Control and Kinetic Melee are...

I'm back playing City of Heroes again. I resubbed the other day as i17 hits in a few days with the new graphics update etc. Surprisingly the US servers Virtue and Freedom where i have toons still have plenty of people playing and it takes no more than 5 minutes to get into a group, something i...

Ha! I think i'll learn the ropes a little tonight. Besides, the missus is away until monday and we just got a couple of crates in for the lads tonight seeing as we're all off tomorrow so i'll likely be in no fit aiming state :D I assume that Steam would have updated to the new patch for me...

I gave in and bought it on Steam about an hour ago, now installed and ready to go. I'm not too hot at FPS games but i have a lot of fun with them anyway, so will have to play through the single player part tonight first before i attempt online :p I'd planned on holding off until next week after...

You get beta access (probably the usual open beta) for pre-ordering in the states, i imagine somewhere here will either do it or plan to have the offer.

I was planning on popping 30 quid on BF:BC2 today but after reading about the latest patch i might hold off until next week or whenever they fix it. Will have a to have a dig around the bargains section on steam instead later, I never seem to have played the DEUS games somehow so they'll be...

Too early in the morning for your sarcasm radar today? :p

SKIDROW just released (as far as i know) a fully working straight forward crack for AC2, so it's worth buying now even if you have a crappy internet connection.

City of Heroes when it first came out. I wasn't much of a gamer until then, i'd tried had a couple of consoles before then but never got hooked on the format/games, they'd be something i would play for an hour every 2 or 3 weeks. Once i played City of Heroes i was hooked on both online and...

Was going to give this a try but download speeds went from 2.3MB/s to 700KB/s in the past half hour, and it wants to install 11GB. Bugger that.

Oh? If i'm on my laptop and mobile broadband when away at work there is no way i would be able to play AC2 without my connection cutting out all the time, and i'm hardly alone. At home my cable connection is fine and never cuts out, but i've had BT for long enough in the past that i know just...

I only just started playing it tonight, but one of the loading screen tips were to press space bar to pick up the mounted guns.

AC2 is properly cracked now, it's a massive process to install and get working but it's done, by P2P none the less. Won't be long for the proper scene crack.

Didn't Age of Conan use some form of Dolby surround sound? I only have 2.1 speakers so i don't really pay too much attention but that stuck in my mind for some reason.

This ^ The no refunds policy on PC is games is just that, a policy. If it does not work on your system and that system meets or exceeds the recommended specs on the box any high street retailer will give you a refund. They may huff and puff a bit but if you stick to your guns they will. The...

5870 it is then, just ordered. For the first time i've just had a warm feeling from not upgrading this tower in the past. I'd some dread when i asked the question as i'd wrongly assumed i would be told... "No! You need more power Scotty!" as it used to be :p

Thanks for that link fella, it's enlightening to say the least. Once upon a time i could have answered my own questions, but with not needing to upgrade over the past couple of years i stopped following everything. We had another tower last year with a 295 in it that we sold on and the power...

The PC has a 520W Corsair PSU in it and currently a 4850 GPU and i feel like upgrading something before i change from 1600x1200 to 1920x1080, so i'm wondering which GPU that the PSU would be enough for and would be enough of an upgrade to warrant the purchase. If a new PSU is needed instead then...
