Very clean setup George! Love it! Needs another monitor though
Cheers Danny. Yeah I could do with another monitor, I'd like to have a little touch screen to the right for my music, Teamspeak, etc. I just haven't found one that meets all my requirements yet.

Okay, survival is looking awesome. Fair play to all those involved!

This is an everyday day occurrence in GTA online but when it's for real, things are a little more serious. Luckily only one person, the pilot of the plane which lost a wing, was injured when he suffered cuts as he ejected using an emergency chute the other managed to land the plane safely despite serious damage to the wing and propeller.

60 Gbit/s DDoS, damn that's a bigun'. The network team would have just black-holed the traffic on the edge routers within the first hour so I expect that was an outbound DDoS.

Me neither. The new one looks just looks like a Burnout game. I want it to be about customising cars and racing again.

Here's some more insane footage from Red Bull Rampage:

George is it just concidence that your post on this was the 69th and it just happened to be about GTA or did you wait purposly for this moment in time to post it???
Haha! Coincidence! Or maybe fate...
Anyhoo, here's a backflip, a pretty big one.

looks rubbish in my opinion
Don't knock it til you've tried it! I think the controller looks really ergonomic.
For the steam platform why don't they use the Raspberry board so you can use keyboard and mouse, instead of going to grabbing the attention of the Playstation and Xbox peeps all the time?They would corner the market if they offered support for all console users and PC users.. Corrent me if I am wrong...
I guess you will anyway LOL!!!
The Steam OS will be available to download, you don't need to buy a steam box and can install it on your PC if you want. I plan on dual booting it alongside Windows

GTAV doesn't just have to be about roughing up hookers and stealing cars, it can be something a bit more beautiful. Looks like there's still some life left in that 8 year old hardware.

Here's my other half's new CAD rig:
It was a really easy build to put together, 10/10 for Corsair's entry level Carbide 200R case. Thanks to Kyrie for the tip to go for AMD, it kept the rig within budget and Caitlin's happy maxing out the 8 cores rendering. Even though the graphics card is for CAD, most games run maxed out too with reasonable FPS!
Case: Corsair Carbide Series 200R Compact ATX Case Black w/ USB 3.0
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition (AM3+/Octa Core/4.00Ghz/16Mb/125W)
RAM: Corsair 8Gb (2x 4Gb) Dual Channel Vengeance Pro (DDR3 1600/9.0/1.5V)
Power Supply (PSU): Corsair 430W CXM Builder Modular 80 Plus Bronze PSU 3
Graphics Card (GPU): PNY Quadro K2000 2GB GDDR5 Dual-DVI 2xDisplayPorts PCI-E Graphics Card
CPU Cooler: AMD Stock
Hard Drive: (HDD) Seagate 2TB Barracuda Internal Hard Drive
CD Drive: Liteon Ihas124 24x

I had a go with an Oculus Rift today and I was really impressed. It's definitely the way forward for gaming and I can see myself buying the consumer version as soon as it comes out.
One of the best things about it is the sense of depth. It makes gaming on a screen seem very... flat. When gaming on a screen you wouldn't think twice about skipping the stairs and jumping over a rail, but now you can feel the height you think twice! I spent 1 minute just looking over a balcony thinking, 'woah, I'm really high up!'
It's really imerssive even with a controller for movement and controls, pressing forward on controller still felt normal to me, I didn't feel the need to move about and reach out for things which I wasn't expecting.
I just want it to replace my Track IR in sims like Assetto Corsa and DCS, it'll be alright in other games but those are the ones I think it will be best for!It would be ideal for racing games. I think it would complete the racing sim experience when accompanied with a good wheel and pedals. You could look at your mirrors too which would usually be off screen without having to press a key!
My only gripe would be the resolution, 720p is really pixely close up! But they are addressing that in the consumer version!

Looks like fun, how much out of pocket does it leave you?
My local gliding club is fairly cheap. A trial lesson is £46 which gets you around 15-20 minutes in the air. If you want to take it up as a hobby (able to fly solo) you've got to do some training and an exam. Fergie is the man to talk to here when it comes to gliding.
-
I went up in a glider last year and was put off a little by a guy saying 'I wouldn't go up in these conditions', the parachute tutorial before hopping in and the bumpy ride on the way up. I did enjoy myself but I was happy to be back on two feet after the flight. This video has made me want to give gliding another chance.

There's sections on the streets in the first one but only briefly. I expect the majority of the accessible world will be up on the rooftops. Here's some RL Mirrors Edge from which I hope the devs have been taking notes
-
I do love the original. The first game was like Marmite, some people liked it, others hate it. The people who didn't like it thought it was too linear and restricted, EA have said this one will be open world!
I just wish they'd shown more parkour in the trailer. The combat was okay in the first game but the 1st person parkour was what made it so special. I also hope their R and D team have spoken to some traceurs before this one, Faith's climb-ups were a little slow
I am exited and will definitely be buying on the release day but I'm hoping so bad they don't do a 'Sim City' to a game in my top 5.

Don't you have to sit out as a spectator every 3 tracks with TM Nations Forever?

How mania TrackMania fans have we got here at Ahoy World? I'm hooked on this game at the moment, it's been a while since I've played a game where I'm on the edge of my seat buzzing on adrenaline with a big grin on my face.
I'll be playing this on Saturday if anyone wants to join me. You can pick up a copy of TrackMania 2 Stadium for £7.99 on Steam.

If it's anything like Take On Helicopters, the first in the series they'll be time trials, challenges and multiplayer scenarios. I wonder if there will be enough content in this game, otherwise it's just going to end up in the bargain bucket on Steam.

The only thing I dislike is the large biomes. Large biomes suck.

I can't give you a reference cause I'm not into the Arma side of things here at Ahoy World. However I am a QA Engineer/Tester so I can give you some things to look into for your CV or Interview. Here's a few keywords they'll be looking out for:
Wow, I didn't mean to write quite that much. Hope this helps you with your application
