Theres no love affairs or stupid marriages or **** like fable, its all pew pew

Was anybody else here as disappointed with Fable 2 as i was? It was like they were so preoccupied with designing the game engine that they realised they were only 2 weeks away from the release date and hadn't actually written a story, then just threw one together.

anyone got any recommendations on a decent soldering iron?

Maplins have a few good ones at decent prices. dex picked up a soldering station type one for me in there a few months ago and it brilliant. heats up very quick and is temperature controlled.

NakedDex · 05-05-2009 08:23PM

Aye, I got two for myself. They were 75 bucks reduced to 15 for a sale. If you're on a budget and you're not in a hurry, have a look in Maplin for irons that are on sale. They're not always on but the sale items change every month so if you're willing to wait a few weeks you can sometimes get a deal on a temperature controllable one (which would always be the best option).

What is it you're soldering? Sometimes certain applications can only be done with a more or less powerful iron (hence temp controllable being best).

Hey Masada, Race you on Nurburgring for your Bar10:P

LOL, and what do I get when i win?

FunkBlaster87 · 05-05-2009 10:35PM

"When You Win" Think your back in your WOW fantasy land. Being a poor student, the best i could do would be a G18c. Come on im dying for a good race, just bet around a bunch lads in their evos and scoobies

Masada · 05-05-2009 10:45PM

I have a few glocks.

i wont be back on live for a couple of days, i don't have me hard drive here at the moment.

And for the record, Im a WoW master, but its the "World At War" type.

None of that blood elf sh1te with little south park characters.

Its just going to be used mainly on aegs, ive no real other need and anything else that comes up.
i'd rather jsut get a decent one and have it for a long time than a cheapo one that ill get a little bit of use out of.

as for the on in lidl, mine just failed, the heating element or something along that lines, just died.

the other thing is solder,
is there any one solder that will do or do i need the flux core solder, etc etc.
Thanks again

Fair enough. I could do with a bit more practice anyway. Still don't really know what my B and A cars are for the ring.

Currently trying to fine tune a RX7. Could take a while

It's light enough work so, which leaves you a fairly open choice on the type you want. I would suggest getting a proper controllable one, it'll let you do PCB's without burning the board with low temp and still have the capacity to ramp up for doing heavier work like larger gauge wire.
Maplin, RS in Crumlin or Farnell out in Santry all have decent ranges. Maplin have good deals on controllable ones now and then. RS and Farnell don't really do offers but they have a better range and a heck of a lot more accessories like fine point and chisel tips.

Solder wise, flux is good to have. Personally I use 1mm Multicore 60/40 solder. I find it a great general purpose solder for electronics and even fine PCB work.

This is what happens when WoW players drink too much cheap Red Bull and go out into the real world thinking they're still in the game. They start running around in bedsheets with bin lids thinking they're on a quest and end up knocking down entire buildings in Temple Bar.

Look at the image of pure satisfaction on Doc's face there...

Personally I'm looking into a way of turning this into an advantage, by setting them on a quest to slay the apathetic emo-hordes of The Great Central Bank Fortress.

Gizmodeon · 08-05-2009 10:46AM

OMG
will we finally be ridden or the sour faced children of tack?
I mean really if you wanna go for a fashion statement, wearing your little sisters jeans shouldn't be the first thing that springs to mind.

maybe you could send them on a quest torid the world of a few bank managers while your at it? :P

or just send them to get the morning newspaper

NakedDex · 08-05-2009 05:21PM

Did you just have a seizure?

moggser · 08-05-2009 06:41PM

at a guess now id o said it was some sort of bizzare mating call from that game he is playin either that or he is trying to cast a spell or conjour some sort of something lol

CrazyRabbit · 08-05-2009 10:45PM

Me like 15.8v !

Just under €300 + shipping and battery should work out at about €360. Do you think it's worth it?

The look on his face is priceless. "I done tha'".

Did you just follow doc around one day one one of his sugar/taurine binges?

NakedDex · 09-05-2009 12:02AM

It wasn't difficult to follow him, given the trail of destruction and Red Bull cans he left in his wake...

The AEG listed HAS seriously heavy duty internals!

6mm Oilless Bushing (6pcs/set)
Cylinder Head V.II (for original cylinder)
Cylinder (for 200mm - 400mm)
Aluminium Piston Head + Bearing Support+Bearing
Titanium Piston (Full Metal Teeth)
Metal Spring Guide V.II
Switch Set for v.2 Gearbox for M16A2&&G3&MP5
Anti-reversal Latch for Gearbox Ver.2/3(Titanium coating)
Titanium Standard Torque Gear Set for Gearbox Ver.2/3

Odds-on they're not titanium, but titanium plated. They'll wear well at contact points but that won't prevent stress fractures propagating into severe cracks in a very short space of time. Also, the most worrying weak point on a set up like that would be the case itself. I've seen medium rof set-ups (20-25rps) crack and beat out the entire front end of the case around the air seal from sheer repeated impact. In a box like that one I'd expect structural reinforcement to be there too.

The voltages they show it being tested at are just to show off though. Noone's ever going to run it at 15.8v. I doubt anyone would even run it above 11.1v, and that's only because lipos are becoming common and easier to use.
