    PCSPECIALIST Pay-To-Win.... 144hz vs 390hz

    Nothing that most of us don't already know but always good to see some semi-responsible examples from Linus.

    PCSPECIALIST Gaming Moguls - Cross Platform Ownership, where are we?

    More and more when I'm gaming I always feel irked about changing between platforms for different games. It absolutely does my nut in. How far away are we from gaming Netflix? Is it something that's even in the works? My current game is The Witcher. It's taken me long enough but I'm a few hours...

    Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you and your families are all safe, well and spoiled over the holidays. All the very best for 2023 when it comes :) I'm getting in early as the next few days are madness for me :D

    PCSPECIALIST Can we ditch the banner or make it configurable to members?

    It's so distracting and it's taking up half my screen between the headers before hitting any content (at 1080p). I understand the promotion but I feel it's far too intrusive, it's actually putting me off every time I click onto the site now. Even if there was an option for registered members to...

    PCSPECIALIST Killer Klowns from Outer Space

    No.... really! This popped up in my feed last night. Couldn't believe it. Really took me back, I'll need to watch the movie again. It doesn't seem particularly original, no real surprise, but it's definitely a new angle/costume to the genre :D

    PCSPECIALIST Next Generation VR - What's the hold up?

    I had a play with my Oculus Quest 2 this eve. Successfully running it completely with my sim-rig. This is a little bitter sweet. On one hand, it offers a completely untethered experience in my sim racing. Visually, it's not quite as good and it doesn't have the same FOV.... but for sheer pick it...

    PCSPECIALIST F1 2022 - Finally has VR

    I've never bothered with any of the F1 racing games up till now. Without VR they just won't do it for me as once you've gone VR, you can't go back IMO. After the race today I thought I would have a look and see what the current lay of the land was with the F1 franchise.... only to find that...

    PCSPECIALIST Crucible 2022

    I've been on and off the snooker this week. Always been a big fan but I've struggled with timing in recent years. I've caught some great matches, so if the rest has been anything like what I have witnessed it's been a fantastic tournament. I've always said that Stephen Hendry is the best player...

    PCSPECIALIST Keep this in mind before you upgrade your RAM

    I was literally just about to hit the button to purchase 32GB of Corsairs RGB RT 3600Mhz CL16 (it's purdy) when I thought I would just double check the AMD 7000 series future expectations. I knew that DDR5 was obviously going to be on the cards but I didn't realise that Intel is, likely, the...

    PCSPECIALIST Homebrew Home - Getting there

    I've been working really hard in my house. I moved in in Feb and I feel like I've done nothing so I've been ripping up room by room. Unfortunately I've ended up overwhelmed but everyone loves a challenge. Some of you may remember that I'm into homebrew. I've got a storage type room above my...

    PCSPECIALIST UE5 - Matrix Demo

    Apologies if this is already up, I may have missed it. I spotted this last week and I was absolutely blown away with the visuals. I've not actually played the game, just watched the demo. Anyone tried it? Thoughts? If the real experience is like this it's next gen, no doubt. I'm watching very...

    PCSPECIALIST Anyone watching the Arras?

    Mixed bag for quality of darts but the competition is thrilling. It's been proper edge of your seat matches with the exception of Price who just absolutely steamrolled his opponent. Gary Anderson pulled it out the bag from 3-0 down to win 4-3. Seems like the way of the Scotsman this year as...

    PCSPECIALIST Elden Ring - 8 Awards, GOTY edition before it's released?

    This game has been on my radar for a while. I've seen it mentioned a few times over the past few months. What's the thoughts? I was just catching up with the latest on it and noticed that it's won 8 awards already. How that's possible I've no idea, they clearly hand them out 10 a penny.... but...

    PCSPECIALIST VR - Inception

    This is wild that this works.... but it does, and I love it! I love VR, it's my only real gaming vice. I have an Index setup in my "Games" room but that's currently going through a whole refurb so in order to get my VR fix I stumped up for an Oculus Quest 2. Facebook shenanigans aside I...

    PCSPECIALIST Just ordered Oculus Quest 2 for PC Gaming

    I have been going around this one for a little while. Some of you will know that I have a pretty decent home VR setup (index) so it may seem strange that I've opted for this as well. I'm decorating my games room and getting it all properly wired etc. During this time it's going to be out of...

    PCSPECIALIST Big Plans - Cable Solutions

    Anyone got any neat solutions for cable tidying? I'm planning my games room at the moment and it's just a spiders web of cables going all over the place. My main consideration is floor cabling (for now). What do people use to keep them out of sight? In my previous home I could access underneath...

    PCSPECIALIST Black Friday 2021 26th November- What are you after?

    I'm hoping to get a Mesh Wifi system. Looking at the XT8 as I want Tri-Band & Wifi 6. The only downfall I can see is that it's £600 for a triple setup. I'm in a 50s bungalow with some proper walls in it. Currently have a decent router (GT-AC5300) which has Tri-band but it literally doesn't put a...

    PCSPECIALIST How smart is your home?

    I've had Alexa for a number of years now, various guises. A few years back I got myself a few of the plug-in smart sockets. I connected them to lamps around my home and used them for when I was away on holiday etc. Due to the convenience factor I just let them run on a timer, where they come on...

    PCSPECIALIST Atsa Spicy Meataballa

    £2555 with the H150i Capellix that I would be getting. Around £500 more than my current system, which wasn't cheap for me. I would love the 3080Ti but I just could never justify it. Interestingly, Going to compare a hard-line open loop system. Case CORSAIR OBSIDIAN SERIES™ 500D SE CASE...

    PCSPECIALIST Psychology - Don't you just love how the brain works?

    I've always been intrigued by human psychology. My brain is extremely logic based and analytical. My background is engineering but in all honesty I think I was born an engineer as I just have a curious mind on how things work. This has never been purely limited to mechanical objects though, I've...
