I'm actually really glad that EA is unifying all their sports games with 1 engine. That's cool to me...as long as it's a good engine.

@the_moorasaurus: Maaan that sucks. I've had my S2 for 2 years now and it's better than ever, to the point where I'm strongly considering not upgrading when the time comes to save myself a bit of extra money.

My video player and podcast apps always remember where I left off and my file manager and gallery apps are fantastic and robust. Did you just stick with all the stock stuff because yeah, they aren't the best?

If you're going for an Android phone it's true depth lies in its ability to change every aspect to your exact liking. Whilst this may not be the most ideal it ensures the phone is exactly what you want it to be. With Apple I find that if you don't like a particular aspect then you're screwed.

I love my Galaxy S2 with a passion and whilst I agree with you that the S4 looks all kinds of ugly in comparison, the things they're doing under the hood are far more impressive than the others, which (in my opinion) makes up for its lack in the looks department.

Bazza has done a better job creating a heel faction than professional wrestling has managed in the past decade or so. Dracula's gang interrupted the most anticipated match VCGW has ever had and declared it's their rule now. This created a ton of heat for them and legitimises their power.

Bazza also did a magical job of turning the community against Dan and (especially Badman) who up until last night was still a crowd favourite.

As a huge wrestling fan, it's a delight to see stories play out in such a logical and well thought out way, even when the matche's outcomes are (mostly) unpredictable.

I will also say that even though Bazza had no control over this, Kefka not stepping into the ring before Dan turned couldn't have been any better. It's the perfect tease of a character and makes his proper in ring debut that more exciting.

-Red vs Wario match was the greatest match of the night

Best comeback ever. Long live Red.

I'm at work so I can't explain in great detail but basically...yeah.

I think this whole MGS5 things has been handled so badly that even as a huge Metal Gear fan (I really, really love all the games), it's just been a massive bummer.

Everything seems to have been handled so badly that I'm left with the impression that no-one (including Kojima) actually knows what the hell is happening at this point.

About time I pick up Dark Souls but seems this is US-only :(

It's easy enough to trick Amazon, I'm from the UK and I've been doing it months. They send you Steam keys that are region free.

Actually it appears you can't anymore. Curse you Amazon.

Well yeah current gen with an abundance of filters on top of them of course. Everything is too clear and too smooth to be an actual real time rendition on PS3 or 360.

This.

This reminds me of a goalkeeper my football team (Sunderland) had once. His name was Mart Poom. He genuinely thought people were booing him, but they were just chanting "POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM".

In any case, I highly doubt anyone would boo at Patrick at the panel. The kind of people who vocalize their dislike for him on the internet would never have the courage to do that in that sort of setting. They'll only do it behind the anonymity of a computer screen.

When Poom used to play for my team (Derby County) the exact same thing happened. We all chanted "POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM" and people would always confuse it for booing.

@rniemeijer: Congrats dude, at the start of this thread I was worried you were going to post your PC specs and it would look like you got ripped off, but that PC will blitz anything fairly easily in this day and age.

Get yourself on Steam and check out Green Man Games, they always have awesome sales on great games.

People in here have already recommended all the greats so I won't add to the list just yet.

I will say however, that if you ever want to play multiplayer, or just have a chat, come on over to the Gaming Hub. We always welcome new dudes and we're constantly just having a good time and a mess around.

@liquidprince: It will happen again and when it does, you'll need to install the official Realtek drivers. Downloading the drivers from here SHOULD work (download the drivers and the HDMI audio drivers) but I personally would recommend going to your motherboard's official driver page and downloading any audio drivers from there.

That should do the trick nicely.

Use your keyboard!
