I much prefer OSX as an OS to Windows, and Macs are seriously good pieces of hardware.

Unfortunately, they just cost too damn much, and as a gamer I'd have to dedicate a hefty chunk of the HDD to a Windows bootcamp partition. OSX also has much less of an indie software scene - if I want to achieve something on Windows, there's probably a lightweight piece of software for free I can download in seconds. That sort of scene certainly exists for OSX, but not nearly as much.

I still have my iBook G4 in the wardrobe. It gets used from time to time, despite the disc drive having long since stopped working and the battery only holding 5 minutes of charge.

I would still have my Windows PC, which albeit is 5 years old, is still fairly powerful and do the shit I wouldn't be able to do on a Macbook.

Can we just go back to childhood films for a sec? I just found out one of my favourites was made into a graphic novel and I need it in my life so badly,

This is the film, anyone seen it?

Ehem. After my time Musha, sorry.

I'm in the same boat.

My PC is now 5 years old, and I just spent £300 swapping in a motherboard, CPU, RAM, and PSU. Combine with a mini tablet at some point, like the Nexus 7, and I honestly would have all my computer needs sorted for at least another four years.

When my PC finally kicks the bucket/gets too old to be of use, I'm going to be investing in a laptop instead. Desktop weighs my life down, however amazing it is in terms of power. Might need to evaluate my Windows/OSX stance then.

Or just go full Dark Side and choose linux!

My PC now is one of the first Intel i5's - 4 GB Ram and a fairly decent graphics card (being the only thing replaced)

I just feel like it's time to go for a change, I tried Linux and I couldn't get along with it.

Another things drawing me to OSX is the fact I have an iPhone and iPad... everything will link together so neatly.

Looks like my laptop is going to be at least another week. It's going to cost €130 for the full repair. It'll be worth it when I get it back I suppose.

Pity I missed the comics discussion. Most of the stuff suggested here is good. Not sure about Supreme Power. I liked it when I first read it, but I doubt it has aged well. Hawkeye is 100% legit though. It's worth reading for any fan of the artform. It's going to win a bundle of Eisners, and rightly so.

I'm on a Q6700, Amd 4870, and 4GB ram, currently. Despite being four years old the system actually holds up very well even gaming since I'm at 1680x1050 res. I mean if I was flush with cash I'd consider a GPU upgrade, but I'd have to take CPU bottlenecking into account.

Ideally I'll purchase a full new system in 18 months or so, once the next gen effect has kicked in for PC ports.

If you mean "world" as in britGAF PM's, yes.

If you just mean world, no.

I remember making slushies from these plus various other kinds of alcohol at sixth form parties. I felt like the sugar rotted the shit out of my teeth and made me feel like shit. Disgusting stuff.

I step into the Brit Gaf thread for the first time in about 5000 posts and what do I see? Greggs bashing. No wonder I stayed away.

Admittedly, much of their produce is low grade or downright awful, but I'd be shocked if you couldn't find one thing you really liked. For me it was always the Club Chicken Baguettes, always used to grab one from the greggs near my university when I lived there.

Was never a big fan of their sandwiches though; the crusts were always too hard and let down otherwise reasonable fillings.

lol

fill in the census in the OP!

We should make a kickstarter to start a podcast there's loads of money in it

I give PA a pass, they started the best gaming convention and a great kids charity all off the sweat off their backs and with about 12 staff, if their community wants to pay them for this then it's their choice.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I don't like it. It's tacky. I'd rather see them kickstart things like Strip Search, or an Automata book, or something. A podcast seems so... trivial, for them.

I don't really have a problem with paying for content (I mean I subscribe to giantbomb) but putting it on kickstarter with a joke goal is taking the piss and contributing to the increasingly negative opinion people have of the service

 

[Hot Coldman]

FWIW I contributed to the Idle Thumbs podcast, but a) that's the best video game podcast and b) they pretty much had fuck all equipment, recording space or disposable income

also they had sensible, cool rewards

 

[JonathanEx]

My problem with it is that I want them to do the podcast, but their rewards are crap and I don't want them. I can wait two weeks.


No ethical issue though, podcasts are hard to monitize, time costs money, as does production values, and if it works, great. People saying that no-one can ask for money for a form of entertainment because they once did it on Skype with a cheap headset can piss off. Stop being so self righteous about a "purpose" for a site they decided themselves.

I'd love to get that sort of money for my radio show. Or any. I like money.

I made a thread asking what members you love to hate. It was intended in good jest, I was high, it seemed like a good idea. Mods decided otherwise.

It lasted about a minute.
