I wear a Tissot PRC200. http://cdn.watchshop.com/images/reviews/1258371089.jpg Unlike the one in the link above, I have replaced the displacement band with a navy blue strap. I have quite large wrists and the displacement catch was on the last hole in the leather strap. It just did not...

This may not affect you, but depending on where you live in the UK, you may have additional postage charges. Northern Ireland and large areas of Scotland, have to pay a fee for items from Overclockers Aria Ebuyer I believe Eclipse also charge an excess but I have never bought...

Frission Mayhap I will have to reread his works. I have always felt that pulp fiction should only be assessed if it is a ripping yarn that holds the readers attention. With relation to Christies work it was retitled for the American edition. You can still buy the paperback here on...

This is another example of political correctness gone mad. Here is one for you: Charles R. Drew. American troops during WWII,were saved due to plasma infusions. The inventor of this technique was not allowed to give blood as he was an African American. America had and still has racism...

Is there a difference between racial groups and the sexes, hell yes. Each branch of the homo sapiens tree has developed to live in a particular environment. A black person has more melanin than say an Irishman, therefore he does not suffer from sunburn when exposed to direct sunlight. I...

Just for your information. The retail version is linked to Steam and comes on 4 DVD's. After installing from disc, you still have a 13gig download from Steam to complete the game. It takes about an hour to install the discs and another 30 minutes to download the Steam content. Is it...

Just a little note on this. I use Kaspersky and found it to be very effective. The main reason I started to use Kaspersky was a years free AV is bundled with the Republic of Gamers boards and it is cheap to renew if you search around on the net. A great board and some nice extras but...

I actually own a 11 month old Maine coon and of all the cats that have decided to live with me, he is the most affectionate. The picture that heronblade posted is quite similar to how he looks as he is a silver tabby. At present he weighs in at a meager 15pds of solid muscle and fur, but...

I was crap at Battletoads, but everyone I knew was crap at it. I can't play Assassins Creed 1 or 2 or Dead space 1 (DS2 is fixed after being EA was taken to court ) This is not about being bad,its about controls and the fact the copies I have refuse to allow reconfiguration of keys on the...

These are some strange ones. Panzer general 1&2 Fantasy general MOO 2 (Master of Orion) Sorry GoG, I love you but space combat is still not right. Beyond Good and Evil (again has issues with the new cards) Freelancer There's more but GoG helps a lot and the fan base helps even...

If you look at the vistas in LOTRO and have the ability to run the game in DX11 it makes most other games seem weak in comparison. Unlike a lot of the games previously mentioned, LOTRO was designed to run only on PC's and was one of the first games to run on DX11. Here is a link to a...

Today a man died who shaped the development of the PC. Not many will know his name or even what he did, but without him the modern PC would be a very different beast and a lot stranger to use. So Dr.Doug Engelbart rest in peace. Full story is linked below...

I tried Rift for an hour and it didn't draw me. MMO's are not about the first hour, never mind the first 20 hours. Rift is polished, it was polished at launch but had a problem with end game content. Also there was a problem with grinding but then WoW had the same problem initially...

I was about 14-16 when I started to play video games. No consoles then, actually there was no home PC's either so it was off to the arcade for a game of Space Invaders or Galaxians. A couple of years later, one of the mates got a ZX80 not an 81 and showed it off to all of us. After...

What is a franchise? A series of books that sells millions of copies, then 30 Shades of Grey,since it now has sex shops specifically selling items from the books. Or you could have the Malazan Empire books by Erikson which have also sold million of books but not to middle aged housewives...
