    oh apex runs fine. I think a 6th gen i7 32gb ram and a geforce 1070 should be beefy enough lol. When it does run it really pretty (though i do knock it down from 4ktp1080p that way i can have a better framerate and all the bells and whistles turned on) its just i couldnt rely on it to get to a race nevermind complete one

    it might just be my laptop but fh3 was really unstable on my laptop i dont think ive ever got it to play for more than 10 mins before it bomber out but i think thats down to having to use alienwares custom nvidia drivers and them being way out of date as it always complained on startup but even when i got a driver it was happy with it still diddnt seem happy but by that point id given up on the game anyway really. not a good introduction to play it anywhere

    i watched the ea and ms ones so far. ea yey we have added a 1 to our "sports" titles(read microtransaction interfaces), nfs looks good but so did the last one and it was utter utter utter pap, and i cant remember anything else from it. ms lots of games and xbox-x is powerful. a year ago id of had it on preorder by now but i dont see a reason to all the games they showed (and most i cant remember) i think forza 7 like always looked good but will be dull after a few hours so i might get it on sale near xmas when they usually discount it but im not going to get any dlc this time fh3 cured me of that i bought it all and ive not used most of it. some cartoon squirrel 3d platformer meh im sure somebody will like it but its not for me. cuphead looks more fun to watch a letsplay of than actually play. sea of thieves if you can get 4 people in the same room playing it i bet its fun with randos i bet its frustrating as heck. lots of pretty looking shooters. some anime game. assassins creed oh and some great looking but again looks mp focused thing from ea that i cant remember the name of beyond it begins with a and from the people who brought you mass effect Andromeda.I really wonder about the future of xbox ive barely used mine this year ive used my 3ds way more (and ps4/switch) and i see no reason from this to turn it on again soon diddnt see bethesda but as i dont think ive got a single one of their games im not sure i care lol
  4. at the end of the day though a console lives and dies on its exclusives and even with the 20 odd they showed last night im still not sure theres any reason coming soon to turn my xbox one on let alone splas4 out £450 on a faster one and a new amp/tv to make full use of it. Sure forza 7 looks nice but so did 5/6 and they are jsut dull after a while (i suspect ill sill get it but this time i will wait for it to be cheap and nanas to the dlc) sea of thieves looks fun if you have 3 other people you can persuade to play it at the same time id imagine if you dont have a crew its a frustrating experience and i can barely remember any of the other games shown some 3d platforming squirrel and some pretty looking shooters yey!
  5. there always cowboy beebop lol. try erased Crunchyroll - ERASED Full episodes streaming online for free thats the best show ive seen in years its only 12 episodes long if you skip the recap episode 6.5 just dont look anything up about it before watching you need to go in blind 1st time (i have at least one 48hr pass to crunchyroll if you cant put up with adverts) its also worth looking up gunsmith cats on youtube thats good if dated and only 3 episodes long

    got horizon zero dawn on friday and started it this morning. Initial impressions are its stuck in uncanny valley territory every time you see a character speak its creepy, as always for me stealth is a bit annoying took me about 3/4 attempts at a tutorial due to. To be honest it just feels like the last tomb raider game but reskinned not that thats a bad thing as i really liked the last 2 tomb raider games the fact ou start with a bow probably explains that i barely used owt else in tomb raider. biggest negative is how noisy my ps4 gets when playing it sounds like a jet engine lol
  7. does the metal end fit in an rj45 port i wonder if its some sort of flag to put in while you work to remember where a cable came from (yes im grasping at straws)
  8. if you dont mind dos dir /a:h /s >file.txt should list all files with the attribute hidden to a text file not exactly user friendly but should work
  9. could be worse lol
  10. isnt that what happend with black/white 2 as well? (not played ive played black or white (both came free with my 1st 3ds) but never completed or played 2)
  11. id imagine so not that ive tried it. what variation of the script are you using as ive got so many at this point including an abandoned powershell version lol ive just had a quick look and the code below will get you the ipv4 address you just need to dump strMsg to your output line (and tidy up the code so it works within the existing one strMsg = "" strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set IPConfigSet = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select IPAddress from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration WHERE IPEnabled = 'True'") For Each IPConfig in IPConfigSet If Not IsNull(IPConfig.IPAddress) Then For i = LBound(IPConfig.IPAddress) to UBound(IPConfig.IPAddress) If Not Instr(IPConfig.IPAddress(i), ":") > 0 Then strMsg = strMsg & IPConfig.IPAddress(i) & vbcrlf End If Next End If Next wscript.Echo strMsg

    its easy to get addicted to i put 170+ hours into it 2 playthroughs (diddnt quite finish the last one i rage quit as i got to the end where you are no longer able to do certain actions of which i had 2 left i believe to 100% parts of the game for the trophy (and they are ones i wanted to do) but i couldnt face doing a 3rd playthrough back to back to back one day i will finish playthrough 2 and start again lol) it does get quicker on new game plus as i skipped quite a lot of cutscenes and random crud keep debating horizon zero dawn and its apparently on sale from the 9th but ive still yet to complete fire emblem echoes im in act 5 but im lost in a dungeon 4 teleporters to try to get where im going tried 2 got nowhere and i had enough of back tracking lol
  13. iirc its usually 10% or something like £5 depends on the card as to 0% in theory its fine in practice its only fine if you remember and dont expect any warnings and the way they do it can be a pita. I used one credit card to part pay for a car (because i knew i was getting another to transfer the balance to and thought it would be handy to not pay it off for a while (had the cash but meant i had less reserves than id like) i then started using that card as normal and paying off that new stuff but it diddnt work like that and i got charged interest on the new stuff and in the end had to pay off the whole lot to stop getting charged interest on what id thought was interest free
  14. if you only ever pay off the minimum youre going to get yourself into a whole heap of debt (luckily cc debt dies with you one of my grandmas basically did this for years so im told). i have a direct debit to pay the full amount of every month but i really only even have a credit card for internet purchases (as it gives you more comeback) and credit history (as ive only ever had 1 loan bar my mortgage) i dont even know the pin number for my credit card lol
  15. on your credit card statement there is a minimum amount you have to pay and a what you owe box if you dont meet the minimum payment they charge you and i assume thats really bad for your credit record so say you spend £500 on your card in a month the minimum payment will probably be £50
  16. though hopefully browsers dropping it (finally) will get sites to redo things in html5 and flash can be taken out back and shot never to be thought about again
  17. does windows have a system rating displayed in system in control panel? if not run winsat formal wait and try that
  18. lol packs 32mb ram

  20. used with the software lightwave on an amiga was supposed to be the hardware they used to do the 3d cgi for babylon 5 i seem to remember though i think it was used for test shots rather than broadcast ones
  21. if the file names a clue a video toaster?
  22. well the chips register as some sort of analogue switching device so cctv card?

    im almost at the point of giving up on the xbox ecosystem. so far i think ive used it this year for maybe 10 hours (depends if shantae was this/last year) but all i can remember playing on it is a bit of forza horizons 3 blizzard mountain/hot wheels and 90 mins of ff15 before i gave that game up as terrible. ive played more hours on my ps4 since april than i have probably total ever and the rest of my gaming has been zelda/mk8d on my switch until this weekend when i dusted off teh 3ds for fire emblem echos (see below for a complaint lol). I cant see anything upcoming for the xbox i really want see of thieves looks cool for a few hours but like overwatch i doubt i will get it as its online only and i must cba theres too many "poor sports" out there for online to be fun and theres bound to be a forza 7 near Christmas and tbh i dont care about that much anymore ill wait till its on sale in probably march at the latest. I think looking at the release calendar i might be moving my main machine over to switch with splatoon2 in july and i have to assume stuff being announced at e3 and the zelda dlc playing fire emblem echoes last night well thats an annoying way of funnelling you in the "story direction" recruits 3 new units (2 pegasus knights which are my favourite units to use) and i decide i will just make a diversion to visit a shrine to promote some units and after the battle they up and leave my party cue me thinking oh f do i have to go back to my last non current save file (8 hours behind) surely it could pop up a dialogue box before the battle saying are you sure you want to do this. luckily ive managed to get them back but thats not a fun mechanic but on the plus side im now slightly over levelled lol
