Hi all, I got my PC from pcspecilalist back in 2011 with the following specs: Processor (CPU) AMD PHENOM II X4 965 (3.40GHz/8MB CACHE/AM3) - BLACK EDITION Motherboard ASUS® M5A78L-M/USB3: M-ATX, USB 3.0, SATA 3.0Gb/s Memory (RAM) 8GB SAMSUNG DDR3 DUAL-DDR3 1333MHz (2 X 4GB) Graphics Card 1GB...

Has anyone been playing Tribes? It can be downloaded for free from here: https://account.hirezstudios.com/tribesascend/ It's free and very, very good. It's been getting high review scores and is probably one of the most unique and fun FPS games I've played in years. Reminds me of the Quake and...

So yeah my girlfriend made me go to the cinema with her. The film was awful, but there was a hilarious 10 minute scene where Bella's spine snaps before she gives birth and is given a rather gore fuelled caesarian. I documented it here for anyone who is interested: http://mattyp22.blogspot.com/...

Managed to get a picture at last! I believe he is wearing a combination of horned studded armour and elven armour. Light armour ftw!

FFFFFUUUUUUUU TESCO!! I am freaking out. I am stuck at work, Tesco was the only place I could of local that would be selling it, and now I may have to face the reality of getting home Skyrim-less. How can I be expected to work under these conditions?! 100s of copies of MW3!! They bloody...

I've been on their website but I can't find a sort of 'log in' area to pay off some of the loan for my PC? Is there an FAQ or something someone can point me toward?

What do you guys think? I was thinking that a controller would be good for Tomb Raider/Assassins Creed type games. I am thinking of getting Arkham City for my PC and I just can't image how a mouse/keyboard combo would work with a 3rd person game. Do you guys have a controller for your PC? If...

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but do you think it would help the forum look a bit more accessible if the sub-forums in 'other topics' were combined? Why not just discuss things like mobile phones, motoring, sports, jokes, photography in the 'general discussion' section to tidy the...

What games throughout history could you just not put down? The ones where you feared may make your eyes start bleeding and burst your bowels? A select few of mine have to be: Spyro the Dragon 3 Banjo and Kazooie Battle Realms Quake 3 Unreal Tournament Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, 3. Goldeneye...

This pretty much sums my experience of the Lion King up.

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/10/04/opinion/bennett-men-in-trouble/index.html?hpt=hp_c1 This article is doing the rounds today. In it he basically says women are going to overtake men because we're playing too many videogames. It is pretty right wing stuff, with little basis in reality, so...

I've been pointed towards http://www.fraps.com/ as a good program to record gameplay on PC. Anyone got anything better programs that they use? Thanks!

It's out now, for some reason the open beta for PC is taking a lot longer to get up. To be honest I don't like it. Apart from the graphics it seems like a step backwards. They've removed the unlimited sprint for some of the classes, or at least it seems to be for me. Which is terrible for BF3...

I was wondering if this is possible? Or do I need a capture card? Basically is there any way I can capture my gameplay from Xbox onto my PC easily and cost efficiently? I want to try and get up a Gears of War 3 gameplay channel as I happen to be pretty good and thought it might be fun.

I've tried plugging my speakers and headset into the computer speaker socket and it doesn't work, no sound at all is coming out. It works if I plug the speakers into my monitor instead but now I've just got some new turtle beaches and they require me to use the PC soundcard. I've tried all 4...
