Re: I suppose

Sounds like me with my KZ3 MP addiction along with blasting through other games SP later in the evening.

I have seen a lot of TF2 so understand the experience vs reactions

Re: Move controllers

Have you actually tried them?

I have, I know what I can do with them, and I am only average, I know how good some other players are, in fact if there was cross platform play and the game was well enough set up, I would actually bet on on of a small number of players who are phenomemal with Move, against KBM players.

Re: Publishers...

I have plenty of platform exclusives, a few are system sellers, got a well known racing game, possibly the best third person shooter/action adventure series, a couple of good FPS series, some platformers.

Re:PC Issues

Not had any issues with Steam

Re: No suprises in any of that.

If you want to try something different with FPS try Playstation Move. More accurate that twin stock controllers, easier to move than WASD.

Mind you - you can get picked on for being a Move user as you sit at the top of the score screen with most kills, best KDR ect.

In a particular game I was vs 2 other players, I was not playing any of my best classes and I owned the other 2, one of them reckoned he was the best player in the game, a friend joined me and we won for a few more games.

My friend was winding him up something rotten

Re: I am scared

That people may actually vote for him!

Re: A few comments

Controllers

In 2011 I decided that the best controller for a first person shooter was Playstation Move, very natural to play with and easy to aim. You feel more that you are the character rather than controlling the character, only issue is are you Sev, Joe, or Chell? As to Portal 2, well it even lights up in the Portal gun colours, Portal is a puzzle game with FPS mechanics.

And you aim where you point, that is so logical.

Mouse is good but WASD is not, having a sprint button is not that logical so Gordon tends to walk a lot, at a fixed speed. (So most of my PC games are the same series!)

Left stick movement is good, right stick camera is not.

So I am happy with Move for shooting type games, analogue movement and pointer aiming.

Re: Offensive Manor

Well I supposed there are a couple which could be considered offensive to a certain preserved railway after a huge bustup.

But no issues with Lydham, Erlestoke or Hinton

Re: Renault and electronics...

Small French cars

Are usually very good, better than their big ones.

Re: Renault Flatulence

Well this little one seems OK, the older one well THAT name is too similar to breaking wind

Re: Coming to a wallet near you...

I already have a paypal debit card. Very usefull

Re: Miranda Hart

You seem just a little obsessed with her?

Re: Having a TV and TV Licence is not compulsory....

Actually one of the things I hate about Sky are the rules.

Their kit, phone lines, multiple subscriptions.

On/ITV Digital at least broke one of those with their CAM system, I had it for a year or so on my old Sony Wega IDTV, so I had Sonys idea of a user interface, I had a high quality (possibly best of that era) digital tuner of the old much missed Sony UK Digital TV group, I had a remote which was not lopsided - I HATE lopsided remotes. Pity there were only two channels in the £3 a month subscription we actually watched and dropped it when they dropped those channels.

As to cards, well 2 working PVRs, a TV, I would need 3 cards, and 2 CAMS - stuff that!

Re: I spent a couple of weeks in the UK

I don't see those adverts, I skip them!

Sky dishes

Well our row of houses more or less lines up with a row of social housing.

From the back garden, every social house has a Sky minidish. Private a few have Sky, a few no dish, I have a dish for Freesat and deliberately bought a bigger dish with a brand on it.

Re: XCraptor viewers subsidising us

Very good point.

Just had a quick count up

On BBC I like a lot of the documentries, Not Going Out, Sky at Night, those Michael Portillo railway journeys, any travel documentries with Michael Palin, Top Gear, Doctor Who, Sherlock, I leave our Humax HDR on BBC HD most of the time. Dramas Call The Midwife is quite good (next paragraph reminded me of a line about greased penguins)

I was channel hopping a week or so ago and ended up watching a programme on Penguins - it was great!

Even when it comes to mass market, Strictly is a much nicer programme than XCraptor (hmm catsuits). Soaps, I watch none so do I subsidise DeadEnders or am I paying for Portillo to travel around the UK by train?

Now ITV, Doc Martin is quite good as long as they resolve it rather than drag on, Downton Abbey was good but I feel it is now on a downslope sadly. I liked the Caroline Quentin Corshish prgramme even though she was annoying, (I love Cornwall - ancestors from there), oh shITV no need to block out the drinks brand, we all know you were blocking out Cornish Rattler.

I stopped watching GT Academy due to overly obtrusive car and overals logo blocking, yet the shITV logo which should have been blocked was left on, the blocked logos were the name of the game, the car manufacturer, the console the game plays on, and the company who makes the console and owns Polyphony Digital. Seeing cars driving around with rectangles on the sides, bonnet, sun strip, caused me to get ratty, so I deleted the schedules recordings.

My current shITV programme list is currently 0.

I could manage with the following channels only

BBC1 (local news), BBC1 HD, BBC HD, BBC News 24, Dave, best stuff off BBC2 and BBC4 goes on BBC HD and I much prefer HD for the good documentries. I would like 2 and 4 for the odd one missed.

Re: NZ Has No TV Tax @Annihilator

If they had not done "The Voice" they could have afforded to carry on showing F1.

******* idiots in charge

F1 should also have been a TV rights protected sport

Re: It's about choice

Err I don't think you can blame her for that. It is the EPG fee they pay and they have to to be on the Sky EPG

Re: NZ Has No TV Tax @Annihilator

Example

here

Re: It's about choice

Actually BBC have to pay Sky to go on the EPG

Re: F1

Read up on RTL, Astra 1, and multiple LNBs

F1 is still free

The local ciders are worth drinking as well.

Re: Freeview unwatchable

Still some decent stuff on BBC.

Quality drop

DTTV has dropped in quality a lot since it was introduced.

Originally the DTTV pictures were very similar to a decent DVD, now they are to be honest a bit poor.

Back around 2000 DTTV was the best picture you could get for the BBC in your house.

Re: Why the downvote?

Just curious

Re: Bespoke & Legacy

So XP is the latest OS for a lot of software

Vista lost full screen command prompts.

Netbios removal

Netbios

No need to remove them - they just like to force things

Re: IE6

Actually they tend to have the latest Firefox/Chrome ect

Re: Supprised companies on XP

My car is a 2001 model, and I do not like the stying of many current cars, and the only ones I like are too expensive.

BTW it is more reliable than a newer BMW at work

Re: Supprised companies on XP

It works for them, why replace?

Small businesses have more important things to spend money on.

Re: Good idea but

I know but I already have most bases covered with this combination.

Basically I cannot play any Italian Plumber games or a couple of shooters.

Apart from moving Steam into the living room, is there anything else?

I do like the idea, will be tempted but PS4 would take priority for me.
