The Chatroom

oh hell yeah. I just dont get time to play. My wife got me the lego movie game for the Vita, but this forum is just killing my time, I cannot get a break to play it. and I really want to I am a lego fan boy of note. I need like 5 kits to have the entire 2014 technique catalog

That's amazing...I love lego, but I haven't dabbled in it much in a loong time. I just love lego porn (OMG that sounds wrong on so many levels)...I mean the fantastic stuff people build with it ;)

Did you see the Grand Budapest Hotel they built?
 
I did indeed. I am going to the lego show next year. I think they are going to have it there as well, it is amazing.

 
Good night guys, I have to be at work at 7 tomorrow morning. the JSE is shutting down at 12 for new years so its going to be a hectic one again.
 
last one them I'm out. This is the lego mind storm and is one of my favourite toys at the moment. the computer is Linux powered and is fully programmable. the kit comes with color / light sensor, infrared sensor, servos and remote. the Computer can be linked to an Android or Apple device for more control. the infra red sensor can detect movement and aim a shooter that shoots plastics palls pretty accurately.

Bloody awesome. I read about mind storm, but never seen it. Nice :rock:
 
Please advise me on games. Last time had games was Quake. :blush::blush::blush: :think: i want Action / shooting like that or maybe bike racing simulator kind of thing. Where to get. Must i go to Incredible Connection or...?
i suppose i can use my laptop, to start with, it's probably adequate for the basics...then i can figure out whether to get a PS4 or build a gaming machine.

Just head over here. They always have great specials on, and even if you don't buy there, you can find some great games and then just go to CNA/Incredible/Makro/Game, or a dedicated gaming shop and pickup a copy - I sometimes do this just because I'm in a hurry (when the games are 40GB to download) :D

Might be good if you give us some specs on your laptop because they usually aren't that well suited to newer more demanding games...but I'm sure there will be something to get you going ;)
 
ASUS, i7-4500U 1.8 GHz / 2.4?, Intel Graphics :-/ , 8 Gb

That's not too bad actually. The Intel Graphics is a bit hit and miss, but because they are so common alot of games do support them - just the very cutting edge stuff that usually have some issues. I'd recommend you have a look over on steam and see if anything catches your fancy...then report back here and we can have a look and see if it will be suitable :D
 
with the way games are going today and the way that demand on GPU's are growing I just forked out the money and went dual 760 GTX 2GIg GDDR and a splash of hope that it will last a while. But i am Only running a I5. The I7 handles games allot better.
 
jaaa, i had to get a new laptop quickly, got tired of looking at online shops, went to IC, stood there and thought i'm not gonna be doing games, so i stopped at 8 Gb, and whatever basic graphics. sht, the irony is that my main thing with laptops is a decent keyboard, and then i go home and find that the ASUS keyboard is actually crap - the spacebar is bad, i have to edit most of my posts to put in spaces. it's like it needs a hammer.

Asus vivobook s551?
Has the intel hd4300,not bad for on chip.will run most older games.
Ran grid autosport on medium,wont run titanfall and bf4(plays but 15-20fps)

Just be sure to set power options to max performance for cpu

Agreed,the keyboard is badly laid out,mine has a stupid asus button wasting a space,no media keys whatsoever...
Browsing is okay,but for work its almost useless.

That's a great setup! Even for the latest games :D

I run i5 too and haven't seen many games that max out all 4 cores at the same time (and even when they do they run smooth with some tweaking). My graphics has been on hold for a while...still running a 560Ti and even FarCry4 still runs beautifully with some settings lowered :D

And next year when GTA5 and Witcher 3 lands on PC my poor little machine is going to look like a bloody abacus ;)
GTA / Witcher has been my upgrade signposts for the last few cycles :)

I go completely ape-poo when my keyboard is not 100% perfect :-@

I'm a keyboard junkie, only use the mouse when I have to ;) If it's still new then it might loosen up over time (or you can sit and click it 1000 times, because clearly we have nothing to do with our time :D).

But there are many exceptional games you can get into with that setup...newer isn't always better. My all time favourite games are actually fairly old ;)
