Gamers - wifey bought me a PS3 last month. I have never owned a console since the SNES. I am almost finished GTAV. What recommends would people give me from the bargain bucket?

I like shooting games. And driving games. Is the likes of Call Of Duty reasonably idiot proof or is it very difficult? Or I remember people here talking about Skyrim. Whats that all about?

Red Dead Redemption, RDR: Undead Nightmare and LA Noire. GVA IV and their add on's are also very good (as a trio, on their own only TLAD is worth much story wise) but may be hard to get into after playing V first.

Cheers for the tips gents.

TSC - hope all works out bud.

Doing the rounds on soccer forums, an article from Le Saux about all the homophobic abuse he got despite not been gay.

Ince, Townsend Savage and Fowler don't come out of it well at all.

Very much worth a read.

gimmick · 10-01-2014 12:56PM

Excellent read in fairness.

I remember the Fowler incident clearly. Thought it was the funniest thing ever at the time and for some time after it.

Reading that shows how wrong it was of Fowler. He looks a right dick out of it.

beakerjoe · 10-01-2014 01:28PM

Fasinating read.

It must have been hard for Le Saux. Always thought he was a hard grafter. As Gimmick said, Robbie comes off like a dick, as does Ince. Have more respect for Le Saux after that read.

Another tech problem. Sorry.

Got a cheap HP printer that's wireless. It'll only print entire documents from a usb connection and wirelessly from a cheap tablet I have. When I try to print wirelessly off my Windows 8 laptop it might only print 3/4 of a page.

I've nae clue what's the problem. Uninstalled and installed again but the same ****e. Any help would be appreciated.

****ing doctors.

Went on Friday. He gave me more of the stuff I was on all last month. But he decided to poke and prod me. "Does it hurt when I squeeze and push you?" "Nah, Doc, I enjoy the pressure on the sore area!"

Now it's worse than it was for the last month.

He reckons I could have a slightly bruised rib

Hope it wasn`t peach schnapps, the first drink I ever had given to me by my sisters when I was young. :rolleyes:

Bounty Hunter · 12-01-2014 11:58PM

nah we were at a Chinese restaurant and they gave us a load of shots after the meal, 2 rounds worth as it was such a big / expensive meal we had. They were super sweet though and tasted kinda like guava juice and was in fact too sweet for one of the woman there who despite me insisting they most likely had alcohol in them because they gave the kids sweets when they gave us these allowed her 7 year old to drink hers. Later in Chinese (cant say much else in this language tbh) I ask what the shot was and the waiter says something something Vodka back in response... the Kid had already had almost 3 of them

The kid was a happy drunk though so It wasnt too bad!

Can you print correctly when you connect the laptop to the printer with a USB connection?

Does the manufacturer state that the drivers used are Windows 8 compitable (you might also note whether it's AMD or Intel processor and whether it's 64-bit [x64] or 32-bit [x86] Windows). Check HP's website (I usually just Google the model number to get the page).

Best bet is to contact HP support. Here's a link to their webchat (free). They'll likely have heard the problem a million times before.

Belated happy birthdays.

Mine is late January but just before payday after the longest gap (Dec 20th to Jan 28th with Christmas and New Year in between) so good job I don't celebrate my birthday
