Quote from spankmeyer :

UK servers lately as mr. Mustangman759 gets decent ping there from US.

You can add non-Steam games to Steam library so you can see friend activity and use Steam overlay too.

Ah that's good

I'll add you all now,

What server do you guys normally play on? As I try to stick with EU or UK.

I don't have DayZ on steam but I can add you guys?

Quote from Bose321 :

Nice, looks fresh and clean.

Cheers Bose, here's another. Spent a bit more time on this one. May edit the top version more.





Edit - Tweaked it in Lightroom.

Was bored, first edit in ages..

Quote from danthebangerboy :

Jak has this weird thing about blanking his plates out, i swear he forgets that he drives along the road with them on display to the general public EVERY SINGLE DAY though

Yeah but it seems he forgot to blank it on his previous video lol

Don't mean to jump on the hate wagon but why did you block the numberplate? You can clearly see it in your other video lol..

But it does sound like a fart at 0:07

Quote from Omar1 :

Motherboard is now on its way, should be here tomorrow or saturday and i'll get some pictures/videos when its up

I defiantly recommend that you over clock the CPU, not sure how far the E7400 can go though, I reckon you could easily get 3.2GHz. Not on the stock cooling fan though.. if you want a cheap cooler then I'd recommend a Cooler Master 212 Evo

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ ... ;catid=57&subcat=1395

I have the older 212 Plus on my E8400 and I can get to 3.85GHz no problem - could get 4.25GHz but due to my motherboard I can't give it any more voltage to keep it stable (I'm way within the safe boundary that Intel rates it to)

Quote from Omar1 :

Well on this pc im currently using, i can run lfs at max with no lag, and used to play gta iv somehow:

Intel core 2 duo E4500 @ 2.2 GHZ
Nvidia 8600gt 256mb
2GB RAM.

Anyway, im not looking to play it on super high settings, just at a point that has nice FPS to Graphics ratio.

You would massively benefit from having a quad core CPU for games like GTA IV

My PC can play it at a decent speed but I would want to play it at a smooth 60FPS - if not atleast 40FPS everywhere lol..

Quote from Omar1 :

Hi guys, im building a kinda budget pc was wondering what you guys think of the specs:

Just won the motherboard, Processor and 2GB ram on Ebay for £51! Bargin!

-Intel DG31PR Motherboard
-Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 Processor @ 2.80GHZ (might overclock)
-3 or 4GB RAM
-ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2

Will be playing games like GTA IV, LFS, MW2, MW3, and other good stuff.

Thanks

You should be able to play MW2, MW3 at close to maximum settings depending on your monitor resolution. Although I don't think you would get away with GTA IV on a dual core CPU - I have a E8400 @3.85GHZ and two Nvidia GTX 260 216 in SLI and I struggle to play it comfortably at 1920x1200.. It's defiantly playable but not smooth constant FPS that you'd get in MW2 etc.

LFS will run perfect though

Quote from NSX_FReeDoM :

Yeah most places that look like it has some stuff I need, it is full of freaking of zombies. The only upside is now I got a hatchet but I ran out of bandage

Yeah it's really tough, especially now with no starting gun lol..

I guess you gotta find some friends to play with really.?

Quote from NSX_FReeDoM :

damn I just started playing Day Z. I have never played ArmA2 before :S

Any general tips on surviving?

Stay away from the large towns, don't trust anyone unless you know them ofc lol, if chased by zeds then go into a building as they can only walk inside. Head off the the country side and look in barns etc for stuff. Deer stands are also good to find items.

You forgot these

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Been looking at this since I saw it a few weeks ago, but I've gotta get ArmaII: CO first.

As it's not on sale, and frankly I don't have a lot of time to play, is it really worth it? i.e. Am I going to shell out 24GBP and get a decent amount of play time out of it? Or is it more of a play once and then never again?

I got my copy of Arma 2 + Arma 2:CO off Amazon US, was about £9 as it was onsale on the US store, for digital download.

Tbh I haven't played it since but that's mainly down to my PC struggling to play it, and having no one to play it with.

Quote from Speed Senna :

Ok, I tested GT5, I almost shitted to my pants when driving... Loved the grapfic side of simulator. Amazing tracks and landscapes. Especially High Speed Ring textures got me to clouds.

But i'm not sure is GT5 realistic enough??? With wheel it was friggin' easy!
Some tips for realistic driving?

Drive on comfort or sport tyres only. sport hards are great fun! All aids off, G25 + clutch + H-Shifter.. Damage max, offtrack/wet = real..

Quote from troy :

If there's some people interested I would be up for it, what about some Le Mans racing since we had the 24 hours just some days ago?

That would be cool, can we make it later today? like 7 or 8PM BST?

24 min race on Le Sarthe

Quote from Kid222 :

How many of you guys have the Spa DLC? It would be good to have part of one evening there. I'd recommend it anyway, because it's worth the money.

I don't have it, don't really fancy buying it either

Will the server be up today?

Quote from Sueycide_FD :

In comparison of forza 4 and Gt5. GT5 has what seems to be a pretty amazing cruising highway track but 75% of the cars look like shit vs Forza 4 having a up to date list of cars and great community aspect that lets drivers like me still have fun online without having to join a public race.

I'd be willing to get a PS3 and Gt5 just for the highway track but the car models throw it all away.

If you only want GT5 for the highway track then don't bother lol.. the standard car models are fine, the cockpit view in GT5 is awful anyway and that's the same with Forza.

If you drive with chase cam then that's even worse.. So the majority of the time driving with the 'bumper cam' you don't see the car models, the physics don't change so what's the matter?

Correct. Maybe contact the seller and see if they could arrange shipping to yourself?

I find the physics in this really strange, the cars don't feel natural at all and I can even pop a small wheelie in the Ariel Atom?

I'll try and remember this time, I won't be on till 7:30 BST though.. I guess people will still be on at that time?

Sorry about not turning up, completely forgot tbh

I'll try and be there for the next time looked fun from looking at the pictures.

More gameplay footage,

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

The physics look kind of the same, the only concern I have is the level of customisation. Hopefully we will still be able to paint our cars and tune them the same way we would in the other games.

It has been said on the official Forza Motorsport site that there will be tuning etc.
