Video Games

I have no idea what you're talking about... >_>

If you want to play a retro shooter without shit controls then load up some browser Quake.

That game was objectively terrible.

You're not wrong. Fucking awful mess of a game too...

Picked up KSP in the steam sale, I have no idea what I’m doing.

You'll get there...

Go watch some Scott Manley videos on YouTube. You'll get there in a few years...

Also if you have a spare 30 mins, go watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp6yj2k0Fpc

Will do this evening. Just remembered I got a chap into orbit last night and left him there! Should have enough fuel left to get him back, otherwise he’ll be there for a while, whilst I work out how to get up there with enough fuel to manoeuvre.

That is utterly bonkers. I thought I was billy big-balls managing to do a satellite rendezvous in Simple Rockets... Jesus.

Friend came over the other day and showed me their Switch. Very fancy.

Might get one some day...

Pondering selling my gaming PC. Anyone have an idea what the going rate for a not new but still damn quick machine is.

Main points are...

i7-3770k (4 core, 8 thread), happily running at ~4GHz with an aftermarket heatsink/fan
GeForce 980Ti
32GB RAM
512GB Samsung 850 SSD

All the rest is good kit too, Antec P182 case, PSU is an 80% efficient 750W (OCZ Silencer I think)

Bit of googling suggests the CPU is around 70% as fast as the latest and greatest 8700k, and the 980Ti is around 70% as fast as latest and greatest 1080Ti.

So, ballpark, 70% as quick as a £2k PC (which sadly doesn't mean I could expect £1400)

Not sure what's a sensible price and whether it's even worth upgrading given it's still handling anything I can throw at it.

Does anyone want an original XBox with about a dozen games and cables (including a couple of Xbox port to USB converters, no idea if they allow modern controller use) but no controllers. Has been soft-modded to run XBMC and also has remote control.

Need it gone so if anyone wants to take it away it let me know.

Assetto Corsa physics + UE4 graphics = Hype!

Shame it's only one specific series, which means it's pretty limited in terms of cars and tracks. Despite that I'm very excited by the prospect.

Or get a PS2 and a copy of TimeSplitters 2, I'm sure it will have aged better than Goldeneye, while providing similar levels of multiplayer FPS joy.

Has Zelda OoT aged well? Am also tempted to pick up an N64 again as my partner is really into Rayman but has never played Mario 64...

Anyone interested in either of these?

SNES Mini (boxed and unused) - £55

Xbox One S (500gb - boxed with controller and leads) - £110

Can deliver today if needed...

The Stranger Things free mobile game is quite fun. Simple touch screen controls, somewhat metroidvania like.

This is fun :)

Ridiculous driving. Is that AC?

AC, aye.

Did you design the track?? Also are you using loads of graphics mods, it looks insane

Can't take credit for the design, given that it's 50km up and down Teesdale/Weardale in County Durham. I am responsible for modelling and texturing the whole thing tho'.

No mods other than one to make the post-processing a little lighter on performance in VR.

Anyone want to shift their old N64 on to me?...

Forgot to include the Lycra Louts cycling 3-abreast tho...
