Anyone got any tips on how not to suck so much at Gears Of War 3? If just one more potty mouthed 12 year old questions my sexuality whilst ramming a chainsaw through my face I'm going to sell the damn thing.

A lot of people seem to be complaining about Origin. Pity EA seem keen to keep their games on it and not take them to Steam though.

Agree that Steam is a great service. Works really well on my Mac and PC too and can swap between the two without losing my place in a game.

In fact, I've just done a re-install of Windows, wiped everything and just installed Steam for now on the PC.

In fact, I think I'd rather hit my head with an old rusted fire bucket whilest shouting 'Morecambe' :¬D

Rather a 'large list' pb :¬D

However, you may have the last laugh regarding BF3 Beta ....

Tried to access my invite on the 27th and as usual.. couldn't! Why? Exactly the same requirements as BF3 Alpha....

Quote: "You're using an outdated browser etc etc update for free..."

For Alpha I did upgrade from 'outdated IE8' to 'sparkling IE9' ... job done, Alpha works etc etc.

Unfortunately, IE9 does 'strange things' and since BF3 Alpha running IE9 (which I hate, by the way) a number of my banking sites have stopped recognising me or telling me that 'You are locked out' or words to that effect. On contacting the banks in question, they have all admitted, eventually, that they are having 'issues with IE9'! (I'm talking 3 independant banks here.) So the obvious happened and I returned to IE8....we are happy :¬)

So, to return to the present, I've just received another email asking for my participation in BF3 Beta and guess what....

Origin depends upon IE9, BF3 Beta depends on IE9 and me I depend on IE8 because it works ... thank god for Steam and retail games ... Origin is a total waste of space etc etc :¬(

Good Mor...whoa...wait....where did the time go?

Suppose I should catch the bus home then. Pretty busy over the last few days. Hopefully will pay off when I can unwind with some Ico and SOTC tomorrow and maybe Gears 3 online.

I had OnLive pretty much grind to a halt on me last night. It's been pretty reliable up until that moment.

None at all. The only noticeable thing about faster vs slower speeds is that the graphics quality decreases over lower speeds.

Morning.

Yes, he was a bit of a legend when it came to writing classic comedy.

I just want to take a moment to pay respect to a comedy legend who recently passed away.

David Croft, the genius behind such wonderful shows as Dad's Army, Are You Being Served?, Hi-de-Hi and 'Allo! 'Allo!

Thank you for all the laughs. I have and will always be watching.
