Ah yes.
Remember monster patches games to support 3D acceleration on a per-game basis.
Buying a Cyrix 6x86, and learnt what floating point performance was (or in the case of this Intel alternative, what it wasn't).
IRQs, DMAs all set on jumpers.
Battling XMS, EMS, autoexec.bat, config.sys, discovering Qemm.
Buying a Gravis…

Been lucky the last few years.
But had similar nightmare issues. There 'something' is subtly broken, and you end up having to swap out/replace every single item until you can track it down... maybe.. and requires you to have alternates of everything (both same models and alternative).
What I've learnt, for an easy PC…

I have an issue with this game.
Actually it's the same issue I had with *Souls.
I've not played any of them - so I'm coming from a position of complete ignorance.

They're very very 'brown'

I'm in what is a uniquely as-yet undefined demographic of people who f'in hate 'brown games' on sight.
Your graphics, sound, mechanics…

Always struck me as ingenious (in an evil way).
Publishers very rarely pay to advertise DLC. It just sort of appears, and logging into your platform you might see an advert telling you it exists - very efficient, it knows if you played the game or not.
So you could push it out to all platforms and hope that it is…

You can fix the guitar (well I did), as the damn thing stopped losing connections and I mysterious missed notes, a few months after I got it.
Pretty easy.

I love that as well - got it for a pittance on a Steam sale, and quite gob-smacked as to how fun it was.

In all seriousness, if it's multi-platform, I've no idea why. The PC version will look better.
I've flitted between consoles and PCs for decades, normally console looks better at first and then PC surpasses. This console generation is pretty much the first where PC still looks better (and by PC I mean something you…

Another cause might be that they don't have a suitable list of targets to hit.
Jordanians (or at least a sizeable majority), want to see all their planes loaded with bombs flying towards ISIS, and coming back after having dropped them all.
So, that's what they're seeing.
If they're currently just heading out to flatten a…

I would like to nominate my home country "The United Kingdom" as the cheapest humidifier.

OK - Hands up who ever changed their memory card in their 3DS?

Loved the article on the clicky.
Personally think he's nuts - but world would be such a worse place without these interesting people skipping about us mere mortals.

I can't speak for everybody - clearly - but I *loathe* free to play.
Whole ethos is that if the game's any good, it's going to gouge me for cash (if the game isn't good, I'll walk away).
I can see why FTP exists, I don't like it - but my hatred sadly can't rearrange market forces. I'd love a world where basic games cost…

I'm torn on this.
I've no idea why they'd want to shit on 'somebody's gallery' - but on the flip side, if they'd announced they were going to trash the gallery in a few weeks, and then did so - you'd maybe question the gallery owners abilities to run a gallery.

I love my Vita - favourite handheld ever and all that..
...but it DOES NOT have as screen suitable for supporting VR.

I'm sure you can make it to that - but you shouldn't.

Look, I'm still waiting for my PC version.
The endless 'revisit' reviews to a game I managed to not buy for my 360, are salt in my wounds.
If we're going to insist on the term 'next-gen', can we please apply it to the PC version?

Stick of Truth.
I'm 37 years old and have never laughed at a game quite so much. I woke the wife up through my cackling after I put in what I swear was going to be no more than 15 mins, that took me through to 4am.

Oh stop being a grump.
Not played it, but these did just seem to be 'bugs' rather than 'being broken'
As a man who's sat through 2 broken Battlefield releases from EA, and got nadda, the free DLC is a nice gesture.
Currently playing Watchdogs, which I picked up for virtually nothing a few weeks back, and so far, bug…

That's an easy one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Technoline-Int… (which is available under many different names).

Once you've got beyond the 'steep-learning-curve' UI, it's brilliant. Oh - and it is ugly. Still best I've seen.

Another vote for Eneloops (4th gen Panasonics, if we need to get detailed).
You can get higher capacity NiMH (I have a pile of 5-day-shop branded ones from amazon.co.uk, which are excellent for the price) - but price isn't what I care about.
In this modern age, my need of AA's and AAA's is much less that what it used to…
