  1. Same as all the other VR headsets. Requires some sort of online connection to work and when the new model comes out you’ll have 2 years to get the new one before they pull the plug. And knowing that will keep a lot of potential customers away. Same as with the other VR offerings thus far. And that keeps software manufacturers from mass adoption, which means you lack killer apps for the headset which in turn keeps consumers from buying in, rinse/repeat. Proprietary hardware that requires phoning home to an American company to work will always remain a niche product. Too expensive, too Orwellian.
  2. Reading the pornographic awards, mom came in, slammed it shut? That‘s how that happened to Cheese, he claimed.
  3. This is not the sort of mental imagery anyone needs.
  4. Maybe it's also an incentive to get the resident forum potatoes out into the fresh air if you reward them for being offline once a day for 15 minutes? ?
  5. This looks great. As long as there isn't a method of buying points with cash, it should be safe from betting/gambling laws in Europe too... just a heads-up in case you were thinking of letting donations count toward the point total; that might end up with lawyers, blocked website and/or fines. I REALLY like being able to get stuff form the member shop, even if it doesn't sell actual members. I presume the "football" events in the gambling/betting page are going to be American Combat-Cosplay-Rugby things, not football as the rest of the world knows it? Should deffo add the real football events, a lot of EU players are fanatically devoted to their local football clubs. I foresee betting, and a lot of drama in teamspeak, in our future ?
  6. I dunno if you bought something already, but if the PC powers on, makes a clicking noise form the disk and then powers down again, the problem quite likely isn't JUST the hard drive. That would simply put you on a default screen of the motherboard, where it shows things like the amount of RAM, the type of processor, the versions of things, and a warning about you needing to select a viable boot medium. Power button sounds more reasonable than the hard disk being pooped from the description, honestly... It's likely better economics to have someone with basic IT skills look over the machine and determine what's really broke. Worst case scenario, if the power supply and video card are newish, buying the bits and putting them together for a PC that just has to play COD4 and COD5 should be on the nice side of $500 even with current hardware prices. mainboard, cpu and ram Can you get into the BIOS / UEFI config screen? Usually when you turn it on it flashes a message saying press (your key here) to get into UEFI or "configuration" or BIOS or "boot-up options" or similar. If you can open the configuration that way you can see if it is able to find the disk, and you can turn off the "quick boot" so it doesn't just flash past any useful warnings. If you can't even get this far, the problem is far morelikely to be mainboard or power supply and buying a new hard drive just throws good money out the window.
  7. Manchester is doable by air from most major EU airports, making it a fairly sensible place to go for the Europeans in terms of getting there and getting out. You could spend a day in Manchester. Just, not three. At least not sober. I think it's worth reiterating that the EU XI fests have not been booze-filled day-drinking pub crawls. I'm not sure people suggesting places with no real tourist industry are aware of this.
  8. Get a job. The GBP is going to take a nose dive by the end of the month so it’s going to be way cheaper in Euros by then, not to worry. We did several other places in UK already. London has good accessibility for long distance travellers, many choices for food and accommodations, sex shops for Cheese, and the odds are in our favor that the locals will speak a version of English we can understand. London is fine by me. Now to find a place to stay. I intend to be there. Jay and Edd have proven good roommates as has JohnRambo. If I don’t bring my girlfriend I can share a room with any of them and prices will be tolerable. it’s not like Barcelona was cheap. And I spent the Saturday puking.
  9. It does mention a few rights like keep your own config, name your server, move ppl to teams, skip the long wait time to fill the server and kick people who behave like jackasses from the server, so it's got potential. It'd be nice if this rescued it. I haven't played this properly for more than maybe five hours. Properly being "with friends".
  10. Flight is 1100 euros with Lufthansa. Or 160 with Swiss air. Which books me on the Lufthansa planes. Soooo that's booked
  11. anyway let's hop on whatsapp later this week with all the confirmeds, see who's got a spare bed, and if we end up shedding a room or two we can time it so you can grab it ?
  12. No that's @EDD THE DUCK I don't do men's bottoms.
  13. I thought so, but I thought I'd check first. Oh well, we'll have to find something else for the intevening couple of months.
  14. Is this still going? We're so over the lagfest, shitty bugs and general lack of interest from the PUBG devs that we're sort of considering picking up a bit of Overpoch to tide us over until BF5 comes out...
  15. IT's been a while since I posted anything, but don't despair, I'm carrying the XI flag high and proud in this game. Not so high people can see me hiding in bushes of course. But proud.
  16. The medals are self-serve. You have to bug an admin until he gives you one. @JAYsus_NL is my favorite admin to bother, although you can also easily irritate @EDD THE DUCK or even @RAMBOS SON and @JohnRambo and @KillingmanXI by simply tagging them in these posts. @dadda2 and @Olive and @TheCheeseyCrusader and @Uk300 etcetera can also be spammed in this manner. As you can see, you dont even have to be an admin to be bothered in this fashion
  17. So, you may have seen the teaser/trailer/cinematic rubbish for BF5 and thought "oh gods, another bullshit COD-alike clone with senseless run and gun and magic crap such as cyborg hands on a female soldier in the 1940s. I did. I watched all three minutes of that trailer and decided not to bother. But then, someone sent me this actual gameplay preview from JackFrags and, well, it looks a lot less terrible than BF1 or this BF5 teaser. I'm not buying anything pre-order, especially not from the extremely disappointing DICE/EA fuckers. But I am keeping an eye on this because it at the very least seem to have the potential to be a fun game again.
  18. I like Edd choosing. He’s got my taste in hotels and restaurants. I am going to follow his lead.
  19. PingPlotter is what I use when (not if) the piece of shit modem my ISP lumbers me with shits itself again. I'm not sure how useful it is for bandwidth testing, but ping/hops/packetloss are all put into lovely cuddly graphs and if you get a paid version you can document it to a "database" (a text file, let's be honest) and gether weeks worth of data. To hit your ISP over the ehad with when after five weeks they go "hey, maybe you're imagining it?".
  20. October is a good deal cheaper than summer time If we find some indoors activities (just in case) it can work. But, the reason it's cheaper is because all the fun stuff is shut. In Berlin we had the option of several outdoor drinking evenings, live music, walks etc. If it's pissing with rain, all that sort of fun goes away. Considering how cheap the hotels in Brussels are, I don't think the budget would be too hard there to do it in summer. Summer likely will be more fun. If we can get a good group together in June or early September we will have better chances of having stuff to do. But I'd rather have a larger group and risk rain than have sun but be missing some key idiots.
  21. Oh yeah, don't go to that hotel Mozart website with your sound turned on. The person guilty of the interior design has apparently done the website as well.
