  1. Buying a New PC

    Funny you should say that. Upon hearing that I 'might' be working from home my wife has become obsessed about getting a dog. Our own little D dog We want a alaskan klee kai (mini husky)... I just found out bloody miley Cyrus has one. But there's like no breeders of them in this country apparently :/
  2. Buying a New PC

    I shouldn't need a particularly big/fancy desk. As long as it has space to swing a mouse. ni need for any draws or what have you, as long as it's a comfortable height and flat, I'm easy.

  4. Buying a New PC

    Necro bump! I'm hopefully going to be offered a job tomorrow which will require me to work almost entirely from home. So I need to buy an entire office probably pick up a desk and chair from ikea. I'll sit on everything to make sure I get something comfortable. Money is/isn't a factor.... We don't like skimping, BUT, this job is a rolling 6 month contract so potentially I could be out of work in 6 months and then end up in an office job again with no need of a computer at home. I'm an email designer/developer, so all I need it for will be Photoshop and dreamweaver. I flirted with the idea of getting one of those 5K 27" Mac's as that's what I was using in my last job, then I woke up and realised that would be the stupidest idea ever, they're like £1600. Don't really want to blow an entire months wages on my office. PC is the way to go as I can upgrade it if needs be. These guys are only 10mins up the round from me, I guess I can go in there a discuss with them what I need http://www.novatech.co.uk/pc/workstations/ Also, monitors, mice and keyboards?
  5. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    Ironically Quiet won't stop humming over the intercom. I'm not sure if it's a bug or not but she never shuts up.
  6. The Wolf Among Us

    Telltales new 'choice and consequence' series has a trailer http://uk.ign.com/videos/2013/08/13/the-wolf-among-us-trailer Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheWolfAmongUs Just outta curiosity, is any of our boys working on this?
  7. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    There are 'side ops' as well as missions. Like "extract the highly skilled soldier". Maybe these will be available in free roam?!? Edit: yes they are
  8. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    It won't let me upload videos/screamshot with the share button probably because it's before release day.
  9. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    I can't "log in to the server" I guess because it's so early. It also won't let me upload my GZs save either. But my day one edition code worked. There's another code in the box that didn't work which I think is for the double xp I'll post a screen shot of the end of mission screen in a bit
  10. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    Still a no reflex bonus I believe, as well as no kill, no restarts/checkpoints etc After their first few hours it looks like the game becomes mission based. So you'd select a mission, outfit for it and the whole time you're in it you are being scored.i have 3 mission available to me. Also these mission areas seem to have invisible walls, you will fail the mission if you leave the mission area. Like the map is separated out in to lots of districts. I have also seen the option to just go free roam instead of taking up a mission, can you enter a mission during free roam.... I'm thinking probably not? Like you would have to go back to mother base first. I'm not sure 12 foltons in a mission. They also cost 300gmp to use. But all of that can be upgrade I assume. The folton I have at the minute can't pick up any equipment/weapons yet I have been collect lots of plants standard open world past time
  11. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    I been playing this today the super cheap website I bought it from broke the release date by like 5 days woop woop It's really good! note to self, don't jump off mother base
  12. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    Soooo do you get a limited amount of fultons in a mission? Or can you just go ape shit and collect everything/everyone? Hmmm I'm kind of an obsessive collector, I can see this taking up a huge amount of my time.

  16. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    Looks like the day one addition just comes with some irrelevant cosmetic DLC. If you preorder to pick up in store I'm sure your'll get it. http://www.twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Gd3CsT2.jpg Gotta get dat XP boost! (I doubt I'll ever touch metal gear online... Haven't they said it won't be ready for launch anyway, like GTA online)
  17. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    BOOM Pre ordered I've heard the first couple of hours are amazing, which I assume is all the hospital stuff. I want to experience that day one
  18. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    I need to do that. I was just going to buy it on PSN until I saw the price £57. When I can get it retail for £42. I'll probably just pop out at lunch time in release day and buy it in a supermarket. So much easier Although I'll miss out on all those sweet preorder incentives :0 £35 here: http://deals.simplygames.com/p/metal-gear-solid-v-the-phantom-pain-day-one-edition-incls-dlc-ps4 Never heard of the website but damn that's good value. That 40% off the price of PSN, how stupid is that. People must be paying it

  20. Doctor me up, Thumbs

    Bread. Get some nice stuff from a bakery. I can't believe you'd turn your nose up at some freshly backed warm baps Get some sourdough or like an olive loaf or something. Iced buns! Doughnuts!
  21. Half-Life 3

    Ah I've thought this for years. HL3 will never live up to expectations and so they shouldn't bother making and releasing it. It really isn't worth the backlash. Although, it is a shame that they aren't instead making a new different single player IP with that amount of money and talent it's absolutely criminal. In these past ten years we could be on the third instalment of a franchise to rival halo and uncharted by now. Fuck half Life 3!
  22. STREET FIGHTER 5 (PS4/PC exclusive)

    It's lonely in here All future dlc characters will be earnable in game A new character will be getting shown off in about 16 hours time. Unfortunately I'll be asleep then The beta starts next Friday (I think) god I hope I get in. I think the EU beta is being treated like a lottery... Surely they'll want as many people as possible to test it properly
  23. Post your face!

    thanks! Just how I roll
  24. Job Hunting

    Good interview questions: How do you feel the interview went? How many other candidates have you interviewed? It's good to break the interview 4th wall, makes you stand out from the pack. If anything, it'll give you a pretty good idea whether or not you're going to get the job before you leave the room.
