    What was your last purchase

    Fair shout :) If it works then all good! Never been a fan of gel myself though so I'll stick to water :p The wax I got though I'm using on my hair now, it smells too nice to waste lol.

    @Hughesy You'll probably find the wax ain't so great :p I've tried a few things now, wax, oil, and balm, but they all just seemed to make it frizzier :s The comb will be useful though! Atm I'm just smoothing it down with water a few times per day and then using the comb to keep it untangled :)

    I'm New Here!

    Ahhh, I see, Farmville isn't something that tickles my fancy unfortunately :p This is the kind of Farming Simulator I meant, I wasn't very good at it so I spent my time creating crop circles, and causing havoc among the populace! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U1q-YZvp38

    The PC Thread

    Very true! Luckily he doesn't have a wife, but he isn't getting as many shifts at work as he wants, so he's pretty much strapped all the time, and he has to borrow money from the rest of us lol. He's lucky I get paid enough to have plenty spare each month for buying gadgets, fun things, and helping him out! I got 3 packs of Haribo when I got my fan controller from them B) I'm of the same thinking right now, until those parts drop to what I'd consider reasonable pricing I'll be sticking with what I have too. The only thing I would consider doing is going for a 4790K, but if I can get my OC stable at 4.4Ghz (gonna have another crack at it this weekend) then buying one would actually be a pointless upgrade and a waste of money. It might give me better temps, but that'd probably be about it. No rush for me either though, not while my CPU is still a beauty, and not until I think it's showing it's age :p

    Well, that's fair enough, I suppose he deserves it :p With my bro, about half of his parts are things I bought him or handed down to him, but I do it because he's poor (kids) and can't afford nice things. Pretty cool of Overclockers if it was them :) Most important question though, did you get Haribo in the package? Definite bottleneck though, his CPU only performs on par with an FX4100, which would make a decent laptop CPU ;) I'm guessing he'll have your i5 when you upgrade?

    Lol, what the hell?! Screw your brother :p Dedicated PhysX all the way ;) That's awesome though, maybe they had no 780's left and decided to upgrade you to something similar? I've heard Corsair do the same if you RMA a product that they don't make anymore.

    After getting that phone as replacement, I was actually not at all upset about being an idiot with the LG anymore lol. That Samsung was just a damn good phone! Funny right? When I said I'd had an idea for a thread from our topic, did you think it would be this? :p  Yea I knew it would be to do with old phones, as I mentioned that NEC phone, didn't know it would be so interesting though. It's a great thread, and brings back some good memories. Phones can be awesome, I almost got to become a pro skateboarder. I was skating at a skate park in Weymouth, and somebody was recording me. He showed his mate who was a pro skater, and he wanted to help me to become one, but sadly after that I started to get pain all over my body, which I now know was the start of my condition. I did have loads of videos of me skating, but back then never thought to back them up, I would love to watch them back now. Sounds like me and my band :p We had a manager, we'd been playing gigs in Bristol, Taunton, and a load of other places in Somerset, done a bunch of recording sessions after winning a battle of the bands comp, then our drummer and bassist got into different things and decided they didn't wanna carry on. The singer and I carried on for a bit, did some more recording with him doing singing, guitar, and bass, and me doing guitar and drums, but we never found anyone we gelled with to keep it going. And of course, I didn't keep any of our recordings, the only one I know of is on MySpace and it was one that just the singer and I did together. I think my dad has copies of it all (proud father, loves his metal lol) but it'd take him ages to find if I asked. (The song: https://myspace.com/standingdead/music/songs In the chanty bit I'm singing too :p) Anyway, phones, this is a phone I hated, and the day I got a new one I actually snapped this thing in half and flung it against the wall so much was my hatred for it! Only time I've ever done that to a still working bit of tech. Should rename this The Nostalgia Thread lol.

    Slide phones is what the cool kids had ;) I had one of these for a few months, before forgetting it was in my jeans pocket and sticking them in the washing machine :'( But after that I got this, and liked it even more!

    Lol, I'd forgotten you sent it off! That's a crazy long time, I'd probably have gone mad without a GPU for that long too.

    Swapped out my blue (and dying) LED's for white ones, love how all of the blue parts look now, the blue LED's just kinda washed the whole thing blue, but this way it looks cooler to me B) It's brighter in person, but this is the best shot I could get without the lights looking purple. @Hughesy I always forget my Nexus has a camera ;)

    What was your last purchase

    As a matter of fact the Z3 is selling rather well :p As is it's smaller version, the Z3 compact, which the iPhone 6 is roughly on par with. Apple may sell more phones in total, but then there are over a billion sheep on the planet. And the Xbox One may have cost £100 pounds more than the PS4 at launch, but I paid £300 for mine which, at the time, was £50 cheaper than a PS4, so if you're gonna try a comparison, try something else ;)  And I'm telling people they should buy an iPhone because they're wasting money on a product that doesn't give them any advantage over something that's far cheaper and does exactly the same thing! Why spend £300 on an iFad when you could get a Hudl 2 for £120, and it'll do the same things that the majority of people will want them for. It'd be like taking £180 out of your wallet, wiping your arse with it, dropping it into the bowl, then flushing the toilet. As for your S3 slowing down, it isn't a problem I've ever had with mine. But mine is the LTE version with an extra 1GB of RAM, which helps. And of course you'd notice a difference, software that basic even on the crappy hardware it uses is always going to run fast ;) I'm expecting performance on another level too though when I get my Z3 a month or so from now. As for contract price, I'll be paying £2 a month more than I currently am, for 4x the amount of data, unlimited calls and unlimited texts :)

    Spoken like a true Apple fanboy ;) What amazes me is that my S3 has a bigger screen, nearly the same res, nearly the same pixel density, and it came out in 2012. And my S3 also has an 8MP camera which is capable of taking some great pictures. £10 difference at launch is reasonable when you're getting superior hardware. What I find interesting though, the Z3 has dropped by £70 since release in September, and the iPhone 6 has dropped by £10 since September... The craziest thing I saw was the iPhone 6 Plus going for £1200 from Amazon's warehouse around release, which is utterly and completely messed up. So you could spend around £700 extra for a bigger screen and a bigger battery. That's it! Everything else is identical between the 2 phones. And the bloody thing still sold out. I seriously hope any of the idiots who bought it at that price had it bend in their pocket.

    But not a huge differance in performance, I already explained why.... ;) True enough, IOS needs less RAM and a less powerful CPU. Doesn't explain why a phone that's £60 more expensive has a smaller screen with a lower resolution and lower pixel density, and why it has a completely inferior camera ;)

    Android syncs everything too you know ;) I decided to factory reset my phone last night, and when I turned it back on and signed back into my accounts, all of my contacts (and more actually sinceI hadn't synced them with FB for a while) came straight back on, all of my emails loaded back in, and nearly every app I previously had started downloading immediately.  As for the apps, there's probably something on Android that does very similar, but because you only have Apple devices you wouldn't know :p Plus you probably had to pay for them, where on Android you likely wouldn't have to.

    What was your last purchase

    They don't perform better though :p Performance-wise there isn't much between the 2 devices, and if anything the Z3 will perform better than the iP6, either way you are still getting less but paying more.  As for cars, why would you want to control your phone from the cars screen? You still have to look away from the road to do so, so it's still just as dangerous lol. It infuriates me because a lot of the people who come to the classes I run are like "I want an iPhone because they are the best" or "My family told me to get an iPad because they are the best", but they aren't!!! You can buy an Android tablet for £120 less that will do the exact same thing lol. And some apps that cost on the Apple devices, are free on Android. I'm doing what I can to save people money they don't need to spend on a device that seems to be aimed at simpletons (and I'm not calling you one, just saying that the software layout is extremely basic).  As for the GPU comparison, the 980 is a fair bit better than a 290X, uses less power for better results, gets driver updates pretty much monthly, has ShadowPlay and had DSR to itself to begin with.  And yea, an i5 quad core is faster than an AMD 6 core, but say the i5 is running something that's a system hog, and the 6 core is running something extremely basic and light, gonna be hardly any difference, except in this case you're paying more for the 6 core than you are for the i5. So, cancelling out battery and higher spec internals, what about the screen size, resolution, and video recording resolutions? Plus the storage expandibility too. Xbox One is cheaper than a PS4 now ;) And we will go around in circles, but it's a fun debate right? ;) For me I hated Apple from the very beginning, then I tried an iPad and my brothers old iPhone, and it made me dislike them even more. Once I actually got to see what they gave you for the price being charged I was outraged. Because looking at the same icons and the same layout day in and day out gets boring and the device just stagnates. The only reason I've been able to put up with my S3 for nearly 2 years and still actually kinda have a soft-spot for it really is because I've been able to change the entire layout whenever I've wanted to. For a while it makes it feel like an entirely different thing altogether :)

    The F1 2015 Grand Prix Predictor Forum Game

    Ill sign up ill be your teammate if you want. Sure.. as long as you come up with a name for our team. :) You should go with LKOJ (Low Key Orange Juice), has a slight throwback to it, if you know what I mean, LKR! :smiley:  I don't know tommig, prawns idea sounds pretty good and we may even get a few $ from Richard Branson... :wink:  It was one of the names @mike96 and I were thinking of using :p We consulted with beardy man, and he offered us a competitive amount of money for advertising his brands. But in the end, the money didn't match the maturity and dignity of the name 'Willyams' ;)

    Maybe not in your VW Golf, but other cars do support Android phones ;)  And sure, IOS is well optimised, but I don't imagine it's hard to do when the software is so stupidly basic. Customisation on an iPhone is changing the wallpaper, customisation on Android is installing completely modded version which give you the freedom to change absolutely everything to the way you want. And even an unrooted Android device has different launchers for huge amounts of customisation. As far as I'm aware, none of that is possible with a crApple device :p  Plus, lets compare the iPhone 6 with a Sony Xperia Z3, seeing as both are the current flagships for each brand.                             iPhone 6                                         Z3 Screen size:         4.7"                                                5.2" Resolution:         1334x750                                       1920x1080 CPU:                   1.4Ghz Dual Core                         2.5Ghz Quad core RAM:                  1GB                                              3GB Storage:               16GB, 64GB, 128GB, No SD      16GB, 32GB, SD Card up to 128GB Battery:               1810 mAh                                     3100 mAh Camera:               8MP, 1080p vid                            20.7MP, 4K vid F.

The technology in an iPhone 6 was good in 2010/2011, but we're in 2015, and it infuriates me that people still bum Apple even thought they're being completely ripped off and paying through the arse for a name that's just a fad.

    The Game Thread!

    But they only announced it today mate. They said a while back that they support mods, but today they announced proper mod tools.  ;) Either way, they said they want to do everything to encourage modders with this game so it's not a surprise ;) But it is awesome!

    The Game Thread!

    Saw that a few days ago but I didn't post it cos I figured you'd seen it :p Some awesome news though, the support for this game has been outstanding so far, and it's great! A huge contrast to the 'support' that most companies give their games after release. Have you seen the options program? Can't remember what it's called exactly, but it lets you change loads of graphical options, a bunch of which aren't in the game options :)

    I have an IPhone and have never been on Instagram, nor do I know what it is.  I did say 'most' :p Though why you have an iPhone I have no idea, woulda thought Android would suit you way more!
