Re: lurker needs some upgradez

Long version> first time round I went the lazy way (at least I thought it'd be the lazy way) and cloned the drive. this worked after a fashion but on resetting the register and BIOS to accept AHCI it wouldn't boot. I suspected the drivers so tried to download...

Re: lurker needs some upgradez

so, SSD comes in tomorrow but I haven't ordered the GFX card yet... was looking at this ( OCUK link ) one for 240GBP (2gig mem version is 200) worth the extra 40 quid to get double the memory or should I just go with the 2 gig version? for the drive, I can't recall what I did when I upgraded the HDD...

lurker needs some upgradez

well, it's been another year of lurking but I'm still justr about hanging on in there. mostly playing Indie Humble bundle games atm (Torchlight 2 is too addictive) so, I inherited a couple of 24" dell ultrasharp monitors and I have a Phillips something or other widescreen monitor already so I t...

Re: 5punky omgnoob's guide to Dota 2

I'm enjoying this game, thanks for the guide :likesitall: . slightly more commitment required than I'm used to putting in... nice touch that you can't pause even the tutorial games. Mrs Bomber doesn't really get the explanation, but then she's a puzzle hound who hasn't got over the idea that games a...

Skyfall

An expanded version of the small review I posted in mini-reviews. We've been away for a week for a massive family love-in in the saaaf of france, hence the gap. Mrs B and I were skiving off work celebrating the last day of her radiotherapy last week when we realised that Skyfall had opened but not y...

SKYFALL

saw skyfall in the "avant premiere" here in brussels whilst skiving off work certainly better than the last one and closed the circle that they had opened with the last two, implying a return to the "good old" bond movies. All in all pretty entertaining which is, frankly, what yo...

I forgot to mention about Hannah that they could have let her be a bit older so you could have a proper perv without coming over all jimmy saville

Brighton Rock, Hanna, 44 inch chest

Brighton Rock - based on a graham greene book about small time brighton crooks and a girl who falls for one. rather cerebral, intentionally dated and rather lovely. I would have liked to see more of the relationship between Helen Mirran and John Hurt (this movie hits heavily enough that these two a...

Re: TV Show Mini-Reviews

Been watching some new stuff this week. Well, new to me anyway; Alcatraz - about prisoners coming back from the past. not a terrible premise but ultimately a bit boring Touch - about a kid who seems quite damaged but writes numbers everywhere. then stuff happens around those numbers. his dad (Keifer...

Re: Movie Trailers

so long as the choreography is done right and it's not that wierd "clean" fantasy/SF McG style (which it looks like it might be), then the rest won't matter

looks both awful and awesome at the same time. Where do I sign up?

I'm not sure. everything in me says WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT. but I know borderlands one didn't really, grab me, good for a laugh but not super compelling. ^ this.

Benda Bilili

Bored of reading about movies I don't like? Here's one I do like; Benda Bilili. It's a doc about a band of street musicians (mostly crippled by Polio) discovered by some french dudes who back them to produce an album and to a short tour of europe. Like Buena Fista Social club only in Africa. Really ...
