nice - i got a £500 bonus once (less tax) but that was back in 1998

I bought it from overclockers.co.uk as I decided that if I was going to trust anyone to sell me an overclocked pc it'd probably be them :P hooked it up last night and have good impressions so far especially that despite it being overclocked and having a shedload of fans (including a massive one on t...

got email from wife - it's arrived

£1400 w/ vista premium home

/me remembers paying £2200 for a PC in 1998

before it crashed, when SLI was enabled i didn't notice any advantage at 1680x1050

Gutted.... After PC crashed loading medical - seems it didnt save so I had a quicksave about 1/2 thru the level, tried that, hit quicksave after killing a couple of splicers, game froze, crashed, rebooted, lost all quicksaves and now its back to the start, game keeps locking up as well... not sure ...

aye - rather creepy listening to ravings of the splicers and trying to guess where they are to prepare to take them on.

close to the end now. want to find myself a copy of System Shock II now.

i'm not far off the end. sure the graphics aren't that technically amazing but definitely sets the mood for the game and the storyline is great - better than Doom 3 and Quake 4 by a long shot. I have it running smoothly albeit with everything turned down to low except for actors, textures and lighti...

aye, though it arrive in the mail last night

One of the most gorgeous FPS games for the PC and 360 http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=81479 http://arstechnica.com/reviews/games/a-different-kind-of-rapture-a-review-of-bioshock.ars tried the first few minutes of the pc demo last night - hoping 360 one will have finished downloading ...

So anyone looking forward to getting their mitts on this?

On Gaheris following the forced respec i've gone

50 staff
42 enhance (losing red qui/dex doesn't seem to have made any noticeable effect)
24 rejuvenation
18 parry

if it doesn't pan out i'll use the free mythic respec that came with this patch

indeed: I think Byronilus my mostly PvE friar will be 50 Staff (Holy Staff->Excommunicate chain) 47 Enhancement (Top 30 second self haste) 16 Parry 15 Rejuvenation (for the occasional group activity where i may need to rezz) Byronis here and his Pve group friendly reincarnation on Gaheris will proba...

the hardest decision for me is how to spec it :) i suspect for my RvR/PvE group friendly friar I may be going for: 49 enh, 39 staff, 34 rejuv and 10 parry and for my mostly solo/PLing PvE friar either 45 enh, 50 staff, 24 rejuv and 9 parry or 45 enh, 50 staff, 15 rejuv and 21 parry or possibly 47 en...

1.87 and 1.8 x level spec points inc in a day or two on US servers

All of mine but one were randomly chosen. The exception is Maelcoluim Comyn (old scots versions of my real first name and mum's maiden name).

not sure if i can make it on time as i tend not to get infront of my pc during the week until 8pm-ish.

Wednesday is Noob Group 1 night (Tuesday is Noob Group 2 night) so although I'd be interested I'd not be able to take part (nor a few members of your guild either ). Can do Monday, Thursday or Friday night though.

Little tip for the Tailor - salvage everything from lowbie group and it will work out very cheap to level up :) Everything that can't be used by a member of the lowbie group that is. We're not allowed to transfer stuff from alts. Though joc's wizard's glowy staff looks suspicious ;) For tailoring i...

Made an MS-DOS based pc with this last night and played Carmageddon on it. Digging out my original Worms game this weekend for it

Heard a noise as I was exiting the bathroom after my morning shower and shave... As I was reading this I thought to myself "He forgot the shit!" and had thus concluded that the noise would be your pants filling. Is that normal? :oops: LOL I save doing that so i can have a few minutes brea...

No idea, but it came as a bloody shock

The chap showed up yesterday (works for Chem-Dry) to see it and told tiff that the insurance company sent him around to see if it could be repaired! LOL

I found myself disconcertingly wanting Liverpool to win their match on Saturday night. Not because I like them, I don't. But so that the match didn't go into extra time and delay Doctor Who after it

Phoned insurance company. Told that my policy has £75 excess on it and i should look for quotes for a new coffee table to give to them. Also a 3rd party will be coming around to look at the table which now consists of 4 metal legs and a bin bag of glass

Not long after I got home and had just finished reading the local paper, my wife came into the lounge and placed her drink on our coffee table and went back to cooking the evening meal (being a Wednesday this was a curry). I got up and went into the dining room (rarely used as such though!), turned ...

Our staff xmas do is tomorrow night at Alma De Cuba in Liverpool which is a converted Roman Catholic church and still retains the stained glass windows and altar with creepy light fittings made out of dead animal bones/skulls. Meal doesn't start until 9pm though! Thankfully we've been told that we d...

Reminds me, not played The Eight Legged Groove Machine in ages
