As there’s a few of us on here that appreciate the good old way of listening to your music, thought it might be a good idea to have a running thread where we can share/show off our new purchases. My dad and I have been discussing The Moody Blues recently, I’ve always been keen on their early...

I’m a bit of a whisky aficionado and a huge Blade Runner fan. I’ve recently discovered that these two worlds have collided. Cibi have released the (in my mind) iconic glass Deckard drinks from in the first film. It’s gorgeous… but is it worth spending big money on to sip my single malts in style?

Are you Northern? From working class origins? Did you have family members ousted from their jobs as their industries were privatised or shut down altogether in the 1980s? If you’ve answered yes to these questions then, like me, you’re going to love this game…...

I’ve only just seen that Sir Clive has passed away at the age of 81. I’m sure a fair few of our more seasoned forum members cut their computing teeth on the ZX Spectrum and its rubbery keys so let’s raise a glass to his memory this evening.

Hi everyone. Some of you already know but Mrs C and I… are very newly pregnant (her more than me). Went for a private viability scan today just to check early development was okay and it wasn’t stuck in a Fallopian tube. Glad to report that everything is looking good so far. So here’s our...

Data miners have found a big list of games on GeForce Now. Don’t know how much will stand up to scrutiny but a lot of it looks plausible. https://metro.co.uk/2021/09/14/nvidia-pc-games-leak-bioshock-4-half-life-remaster-tekken-8-and-more-15258234/

Two companies nobody really likes go toe to toe… https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-58522588

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-58316842.amp How most of the Rolling Stones survived this long is a medical marvel, but it’s sad to see a great drummer go.

Great news for people of a certain age such as me, early next year Retro Games will be releasing a fully licensed (and somewhat downsized) version of the Amiga 500! There’ll be an initial 25 games, only 12 of which have been named so far, and potentially more to come at a later date...

I’m just watching an episode of World’s Toughest Prisons and it reminded me of a game on the PS2 that I played a few hours of at a mate’s house and quite enjoyed… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner_of_War_(video_game) I know there’s a few indie prison escape games these days but they’re...

Today I was taking apart another PC and found a couple of little interesting bits… Here we have an i7 chip that appears to have been responsible for slowly roasting the motherboard to death: A Samsung 840 120GB in reasonable condition: A beast of a PSU that looks like it might find a new...

I’ve prised a couple of drives out of an old tower and rather than them ending up with a load of miscellaneous screws, fuses and keys in my man-drawer, I’m considering converting them to act as external drives for backups. I’ve got one SATA SSD and one HDD, does anyone have any recommendations...

Greetings to all! Bit of a random post as you’d have to be in a very specific place to want to take advantage of these offers but there’s some cracking case deals on Amazon right now, including some white ones (I know they’re de rigueur right now)… Corsair iCue 220T (white) - £43.06 Corsair...

Check the deck… the Steam Deck. A new Nintendo Switch lookalike from Valve! https://metro.co.uk/2021/07/16/steam-deck-is-350-switch-clone-that-runs-pc-games-pre-order-today-14938708/ Let’s hope it generates more interest than the ill fated Steam Machines of a few years ago. What do you reckon?

As a man who lives for football and also doesn’t get all that much sleep, it’s been a joy having the Copa America on the Beeb over the past few weeks. Has anyone else been enjoying it? I’ve watched about ten matches in total (watching the final right now!) and having mainly seen South American...

Hello everyone! Today… is my first forum anniversary, it’s a year to the day that I joined! I never did one of these when I first signed up so I’m a bit a fraud for posting now. Just wanted to say that it’s been a thoroughly fun year here. When I sent my very first message asking for some...

I’ve finally completed my unpacking of all my bits and pieces after a year living at the same address, books are now all shelved. Whilst my mother and sister are the true Pratchett fans in the family (their knowledge is in the annoyingly encyclopaedic category), I’m just looking at the books in...

Saw him watching the England match today and a thought occurred to me. Why does he always look like he’s done a really horrific silent fart and he’s just waiting for others to notice?

At exactly one minute past midnight, Prime Day begins! Thought it might be a good idea to have a dedicated thread for it so we can all help each other out. So if you find a bargain that you think others might be interested in, spread the word by posting a link here 🙂 To make it easy to find...
