Also TrueCrypt here. We use it on all of our USB drives. Works a treat.

I'm booked in for session number 3 next month. The first time I tried to give blood they could not get a vein, the second time they got a pint but I almost passed out. The last time was smooth sailing, the nurse got the needle in with almost no pain and the needed did not feel uncomfertable either. Lets hope they are all like that. On topic, what blood groups are people? Any rare ones here? I'm B+ which I believe is 8% of the population.

I'm a big fan of digital delivery be it subscriptions for music, Steam for Games, iPad/Kindle for e-books etc etc. One plus side I've found is that given time, certain physical copies will become useless and the item you have physically paid for won't work (BetaMax, Tape, Minidisc, VHS, 3.5" floppy, etc). Either the hardware has changed or the media has so it won't work either way. You may have a favourite item that will no longer work rendering it obsolete. Looking at steam for example, there are some classic retro games that have been re-worked for modern day rigs and they just work. If you had the same game on 4-5 floppy disks, chances are it would not work correctly unless 1) you still have a floppy disk, and 2) you'd likely have to create a separate environment (like a DOS VM) to load it into. Also there is the green aspect. Digital delivery (I assume) is significantly more environmentaly friendly. Not to mention space saving!

One of the reasons I've wiped my hands of all EA products, especially Battlefield 4. And to semi-quote @X-13, [censored] Origin.

For info, Capita have posted two documents on SupportNet around the SQL 2012 migration. It makes interesting reading. Resource ID's in the quote below: Annoyingly, seems SOLUS3 is going to be a separate migration from the SIMS, FMS and Discover tools:

What's up with the Edu TS server? I connected up and got onto "2nd Queens Royal Regiment of Foot" random clan server!

As per Twitter: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-910-001759-Gaming-Mouse-G700/dp/B003U53Y9Q

Am I on the right server? Joined TS with those details and it's the "2nd Queens Royal Regiment of Foot" server! I'm CONFUSED!

Don't suppose peeps with beta access have beta keys to hand out to others? And if the answer is yes, is now a good time to say I love you?

Specific TF2 time? Or just "whenever"?

I'm sure we can come to some kind of "arrangement"... /rubs hands together

Steam names? All part of the EduGeek Steam Group?

Windows 7 or bust, especially when gaming is involved.

I'm glad you approve. Also forgot to add: I have a craving for party rings.

Errrr..... It looks good? I think cross platform would be cool? An MMO on a console?! WTF? Console before PC?! Hopefully on of the above meet your required response.

hahaha! read your post and noticed the add next to it!

Thanks for the info.

TF2 sounds good. Likewise, not played in ages but I'm up for it. L4D2 is always great fun co-op with 4, or you can play Vrs with 8 people. Another reason with digital delivery is awesome.

Well, Dan Brown's new book started to go down hill, and fast. I've given up on it and have resumed A Game Of Thrones instead.

Got the first two in Steam, got a classic "hard copy" of Oblivion. Awesome game.

Told you it will grow.

New to Steam? Wait for the summer sale, your library collection will soon grow. Sounds like you don't have DOTA2 either. Want a copy?

Only just noticed this thread. Looks very interesting, did a quick scan on their site and they seem to have loads of info about it, but no way to download. I assume it's still in development/closed beta?

Choice of game(s) then? What's everyone's poison of choice at the moment? @nephilim - Lies! I have an empty gift list! I therefore presume it IS doda2 passes your offloading! Saying that, who wants a doda2 pass?!

Would be nice if CS:GO was released for the Xbox One & PS4, and Valve updated it to enable the cross-platform play they were raving about when GO was first announced. Mind you, the price would likely be kicked up to £40 on either console.
