    PCSPECIALIST You're not a wizard Harry!

    I'm the other way around. I read a couple of the books, but they seemed a bit too much Enid Blytons Famous 5, with magic thrown in. I've watched all the films though, and enjoyed them. I'll look more at the game, it might be my kind of game.

    PCSPECIALIST My favourite records of the year

    I've got his first album/CD. I was surprised how good it was. After all, he's an actor, not known previously as a singer :D I'll have to look Legrande Jazz up. Jazz isn't really my thing, but this album is good. Also, I'm a fluteist, as long as you take a large pinch of salt with that (I'm...

    PCSPECIALIST Merry Christmas & Happy New Year All

    A bit late for Merry Christmas. Both Xmas Day and Boxing Day were busy, with family :) Then I did a 5 day working trip to Switzerland and back. Well not quite Switzerland, actually Friedrichshafen, on the Boden/Konstanz See. Switzerland is on the other side of it. Back home yesterday...

    PCSPECIALIST Valve Hardware Survey January 2023

    I had green script on a black background, does that count as colour? The C=64 had 16 colours, I think, on a colour telly. Those were the days :LOL:

    4 Squad Officers and a Commander? No Grunts? No Sargents? Who is going to do all the work? The Commander runs the show. Officers pass his orders down the line. Sargents organise the actual job, and the Grunts do the shooting/get shot at/DO the actual job :D

    Yeah ! Days Gone is one of those long games. It can get a bit repetitive at the beginning. It has a sustained narrative all the way through. If you leave it for a while, weeks or longer, then you go back to grinding missions, and you're thinking, "WTH is this all about"?

    Got it now :D Well actually a few hours ago, but my keyboard disconnected and wouldn't hook up again. I had to download the old software, because the new, improved software didn't work. Just got it hooked up again :D

    PCSPECIALIST Is this a good build for a £1000 budget?

    Thanks, that's helpful :) I personally would suggest 2 things, leaving your actual hardware aside for now. There are others in here much better qualified on that front than me. Ditch Norton Antivirus, it's a resource hog. Windows Defender isn't and is just as good. Norton is also a pig to...

    PCSPECIALIST More Playstation games coming to PC

    For £13? I can't say no. Sorry :LOL: It is a rather Ubisoft style game, so if you'd find that annoying, don't. I haven't played any Ubisoft games yet to compare, but a fair few posts in the Steam Discussion group level that accusation at it. Side missions, collectables, all that stuff. It can...

    PCSPECIALIST INCOMING!!!

    So we're waiting for the 3rd party benchmarks to be released again :) I've had a Team Red build in mind all along. With an AMD graphics card similar to a 4070/80. But don't have as much as a grand going spare. A 7900 XTX is a bit too much for me and I only have an ultrawide 1440p ( :D) for it...

    PCSPECIALIST INCOMING!!!

    Yeah! Seems to be a decent enough card, comparable to the 4080, especially when price is included in the comparison. But although ray tracing is relatively new, I'd expect it to become much more important over the next few years. AMD have got a lot of work to do in that department.
