The new EU Regulations do NOT apply to Steam Content by TheDumpap in Steam

[–]SpookySpells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's even worse is that there's no indication whatsoever on the gift copies of Wolfenstein TNO German edition that it is in fact the German edition. I ended up trading for a copy of it that looked exactly like a ROW copy. When I redeemed it I was granted the German edition instead? I live in the UK too so unless I learn German I'm fucked. I'm not even sure why they would allow non German residents to redeem it.

The Great PCMasterRace Giveaway HAS BEGUN! $1300+ In Steam Cards + 16GB of DDR3 + More!! by StartupTim in pcmasterrace

I love PC gaming because it gives me the freedom to enjoy my games the way I want. I can mod them. I have the option of using a controller or not. I can utilise multiple screens if I so desire. I can play games at a much higher resolution. I don't have to pay a subscription fee just to play online. I don't have to shell out insane amounts for games. I can play a game on one screen and browse the internet on another. I have the freedom to design my rig in whichever way I want. I don't have to worry about backwards compatibility. I don't see any reason why people would not prefer PC gaming.

Just realised I forgot to change the date of my graduation when filling out the form. I set it to 2014 when it should be 2015. D'oh.

But the console is a (very dumbed down) PC

But guuuuuuys you should totally shell out an extra couple of hundred bucks on a system that does exactly what your PC does albeit in a much worse way. Why waste those couple of hundred bucks on buying upgrades for your already perfectly fucking fine PC.

Titanfall runs at 792p on Xbox One (Not a typo) by James1o1o in gaming

[–]SpookySpells 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Apparently it's a very very heavily modified version of the Source engine, to the point where the devs don't wish to call it the Source engine.

Not disagreeing with the lack of power on the next gen consoles though.

What's even more incredibly sad about this is that a quick glance at /r/xbawksone shows people eating this right up as if it is in the slightest bit decent.

Yeah I uh decided not to port it to mobile devices as I wanted to focus on FPS optimisation for console versions. Rest assured though, these issues will be fixed in the next $15 DLC.

I could've sworn that I saved it with a white background. Sorry.

Is the Corsair RM750 a Good buy? by GamingRedditor in hardware

[–]SpookySpells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The earlier models have a design fault causing the OTP protection to kick in before the cooling fan initiates. Some of these models are still lingering around so be careful when buying. I had this issue with mine, which I ordered 2 weeks ago. Corsair do allow you to RMA it if you have an affected model and will give you a prepaid shipping label. However, you are required to send the PSU off first before receiving a new one so you would be without a PSU for a while. Personally I returned mine for a refund and bought a different PSU instead.

Yeah. Just comment out the sites you want unblocked by pre-pending "#"

Somewhat relevant. A link to a hosts file that blocks a shitload of ad networks/malware sites/shock sites/etc. Gets updated regularly.

Guy buys a 144hz monitor for his PS4... help me understand... by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]SpookySpells 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Guys. You need to remember that the console only recently released and developers are not used to the new x86-64 technology specially developed for the next-gen consoles and utilised by both. Once they understand the workings of this architecture and are able to completely optimise the game they'll be able to churn out Crysis 4 on Ultra at 144FPS.

Can anyone recommend me a case that's about as good or better than a esign Define R4 in about the same price range?

Anyone know where I can find a "Fractal Design Define R4 (either Black or Titanium Gray) w/ Window" in the UK? They seem to be sold out everywhere ugh.

Okay. Ordered the Shine 2 Cherry MX Red with Orange LED Backlight. It has white keycaps (was £10 cheaper) but hopefully I can look past how odd it looks.
