  1. Mass Effect 2

    OK, I fucking love this game, despite the bugs, the new crew seems fleshed out more than the one in ME. Visiting the was actually really jarring. The only thing i wish you could do was visit the whole of the citadel, I want to see what has changed, if anything; unless I am doing it wrong.
  2. Battlefield: Bad Company 2

    That's a fair assumption, though there are squad mechanics, though there is no specific commander of said squads. The model of a squad is a group of 4 people, any member of a squad can spawn on another, targets can be given by any member so co-ordinating is easy. A fairly good tactic is to have a sniper, who is holding back act as a secondary spawn point/ support fire, then the other 3 playing assault classes (Medic, Assault and Engineer to an extent) storm a building with a CP, blowing out a wall so the sniper can give covering fire. however this sort of tactic doesn't work so well with many randomers, as they seem to play for themselves opposed to for the team. EDIT: to those guys in the beta, what is your account name, I am Patters.

    Sweet, I expect you'll make the right choice. Semester 2 of year 2 has finally started for me, done 2 of my 3 lectures today, Classical Mechanics and Propositional Logic. Logic seems really interesting for now, it wasn't at all something which I was expecting however, it covers stuff including deriving the meaning of a few statements and coming to a conclusion based upon them. I have Random Models in a bit, which is a probability course, though apparently less mind numbing than those I have previously undertaken. This is the first time I have had complete choice over what modules I do, ever, it's a lot nicer choosing something which appeals to me than something else.
  4. Mass Effect 2

    So this game is pretty buggy so far, I have been caught on a few surfaces when less than 2 hours in.
  5. Battlefield: Bad Company 2

    Yeah BC2 is frostbite v2, the main strengths of which are: Real-Time Procedural Shading Texturing Techniques Large Destruction Landscapes Destructable Objects (Buildings, Vehicles, Trees, etc.) Dynamic Skies Dynamic Lighting The lighting is utterly fantastic, Also it was further optimised to support quad cores fully.
  6. It might be worth reading the recent GiantBomb multiplayer hands on. You also get a free copy of Universe at War if you preorder from steam, which is a fun if a little stupid game.
  7. Bad Games

    The Postal series.
  8. I haven't had many crashes recently, only network problems, I have my network running properly now I think though.
  9. Well PC wise l4d isn't particularly demanding, BFBC 2 is, with one of the highest requirements I have seen.

    I have done the Idle Thumbs logo, it ain't perfect by any means, but I like it. If you want one sent to you drop me a pm or something with your gamertag, if I don't already have you as a friend. EDIT: I finished my idle thumbs Abarth. http://twitpic.com/10j0qd
  12. I'd like to suggest TF2 also, I would suggest BFBC2 when it's out, but the requirements are a lot higher than the other games you suggested. I have the new AvP on preorder so that would be good.
  13. Formula Thumb

    No, definitely not, Miffy has the same thing with his Yaris, it also appears that we all love our Fiat 500 abarths.

    The results of the dlc vote http://jalopnik.com/5459331/forzalopnik-your-winners-are-here/gallery/ some nice choices, particularly the cosworths.
  15. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    Did that just tell me to date a jazz musician?
  16. My Computer Broke!

    Everything I have runs perfectly with 64 bit, it was only a problem in the windows XP-vista era.
  17. General Video Game Deals Thread

    He may have played abe lincoln, as it's free.
  18. Battlefield: Bad Company 2

    Pretty much and no it's still due out.
  19. Battlefield: Bad Company 2

    Played a little of the beta just now, it feels pretty cool, the standard sniper is decent, though it doesn't pack the punch I would like, though it's a good assist weapon.
  20. Bargains

    1ED2EiCAMTs Damn it looks good.
  23. Formula Thumb

    Kind of an awesome game, as usual. Miffy I'll try and finish the Thumbs logo for next week, can't promise anything though, I'll gift it to the thumbs I have who play. Going to make the thumb logos as well probably.
  24. Left 4 Thumbs 2
