    Received my e-mail for the beta for Linux last night. I look forward to trying it out later when I get the chance, hopefully it's the stepping stone that will eventually lead us to gaming on Linux. I'll try get L4D2 installed on it later for a few games.

    Same, need to re-install Kubuntu on my laptop though as Optimus is a pain in Crunchbang.

    you've had massive bugs that were sorted by changing the graphics quality settings?

    They were talking generally.

    And yes, with Rage, off the top of my head.

    Also I'm seeing a lot of driver/GPU related headscratching RE: FC3 in this subforum so I guess he is right.

    Now, paying more than the average yields customers a copy of the Greek mythology-based, Diablo-like Titan's Quest and Red Faction: Armageddon's Path to War DLC. The THQ Bundle, featuring six AAA titles for a paltry sum of money, has arguably been one of the best gaming deals of the year.

    The bundle skyrocketed to over $2 million in sales within 24 hours and currently has, at the time of this writing, raised over $3,920,000.

    The THQ Bundle is still available for purchase for five more days.

    Bit of an odd request here, but anyway.. I need a fairly cheap USB drive that's reasonably quick for it's size (i.e., all data can be read within 5 minutes), doesn't matter about what it looks like as I'm stripping the casing anyway, anyone got any recommendations?

    ha derp.

    I'd have a look on here , http://www.mymemory.co.uk/USB-Flash-Drives you can sort by read/write speeds , If you have USB3 ports It'll be very fast indeed.

    it's going to be put into a wall with the contacts facing out. We haven't any of these in RoIreland yet so I said I'd give it a go just to be the first.

    I can see two things happening very quickly:

    Malware transferred to drive
    Drive torn out of wall by scumbag

    Very nifty idea though, keep us apprised!

    i think ive seen one of those in dublin.

    i know HWVS is probably useless to you, but this is great bang for buck. ive got an ADATA 16gb USB3 USB stick and its bloody quick. a similar model is on HWVS for €23.

    its a pitty, cause i just placed an order yesterday and would have thrown one in for you if you wanted.

    The only things I find worth reading among those are XKCD (occasionally) and The Oatmeal.

    If they have it in stock, a couple of days max if you are in the Dublin area, usually a couple of days to order gear in though.

    They used be on the main street in Celbridge, but moved out a bit to a new Business Park-so I would usually order stuff & collect it from them.
