    How do I make friends IRL?

    This pretty much sums up how most people start friendships: Shared interests, find something you have in common. Video games, music, movies, whatever, once you can get a conversation going, things usually flow from there.

    Noob Thermal Paste question

    Once again, thanks to everyone who gave advice. If only all my hardware misadventures had happy endings :)

    Noob Thermal Paste question

    I was very careful. I went for the better too little than too much approach and with a blob a little smaller than a pea I firmly applied the cooler evenly, gave it a slight twist to the left, a slight twist to the right then screwed it into place while keeping the pressure on so the cooler...

    Noob Thermal Paste question

    Yeah, there seems to be a lot of contention on what is the best method but I think I will go with the pea method simply because it looks the easiest for a first timer. The pressure of the watercooler will effectively do all the work of the dispersion. I've also read that its better to use too...

    Noob Thermal Paste question

    Ok, thanks for the advice. A friend recommended Arctic Silver 5 as his paste of choice so ordered that and some stuff to clean the old stuff off so Ill give it a shot and let you know how I go.

    Noob Thermal Paste question

    Ok, so I have a water cooler for my CPU (No, not the kind you stand around gossiping at the office) and coming up to summer here in Australia I noticed that when I was putting in through a Prime 95 test that it wasn't as cool as it was a couple of years ago. So I decided to take the cooler off...

    Tales of Xillia question

    I'm on break so I put a lot of hours into it :) Thanks for the heads up by the way, at least I dont have to stress too much about what I say then.

    Tales of Xillia question

    Ok, onto Xillia 2 now. Look, Ive read that there are multiple endings to this, is it every single choice I make that is going to add up to the ending I get or is it only certain key decisions? Edit: Aww, I miss the Lillium Orb

    Tales of Xillia question

    Excellent, that worked fine. My fault for not looking carefully, the last couple I played had a Status tab on the menu, thanks mate :)

    Tales of Xillia question

    Another quick on for those who've played, in the other Tales games their has been a status menu so you can check out all your characters stats. I can't seem to find it, isn't there one or am I just not looking in the right place?

    Tales of Xillia question

    Ok, thanks Eupho. I'd actually gone ahead and started with him anyway but its nice to know I made the better choice. Cheers

    Tales of Xillia question

    I'm about to start a game and I have two character choices. I was wondering how much difference there is between the two characters stories (No spoilers) and who I should start with first.

    Am I going to cry at the end of Mass Effect 3? No spoilers!

    A think a lot of the worst stuff than can happen is if you have made kind of douchey decisions. For the most part a lot of the scenes are touching and warm. The last 10 minutes are kind of out of nowhere, the Leviathan DLC explains some stuff but that seems more like desperate retcon. That said...

    Your favorite games?

    I wont do a top 10 simply because for a lot of these it is hard to rate one better than another. Mass Effect: Ending aside this was some great world building with some hugely memorable characters, just all around outstanding writing. Except for the ending. Did I mention we aren't going to...

    Games You Won't Watch LPs of.

    I really don't bother with them at all to be honest. I have tried a few times but always find myself thinking "Why an I watching someone else play a game when I could be playing a game myself?". Then I remember my pile of shame is a huge and decide that yes indeed, I should actually be playing a...
