    Yeah the primary reason I got it is for uni. I don't currently have a laptop, and while I have an iPad, it just won't cut it, I need a proper laptop.

    As I'm going graphic design too, I've gone for the 15 inch one so I can have the bigger screen and better specs to run the Adobe CC software. Also there's something about a MacBook which just looks the part aha :p 
    You still do ;)

    Knew you'd pipe up. Just posting articles that contradicts what Ubisoft said, I didn't write the articles so I'm not sure how I'm "attacking" it. I'm not missing out on anything, played the beta so you can't say I didn't give it a chance, I'll never buy it, then on top they cut a large section of the map to sell as DLC later. Anyone that says anything bad about this game you get all defensive  :p
    Thing is though, I consider add on packs with in-game skins and clothing as DLC, not microtransactions. A microtransaction to me is something you can pay for so you don't have to wait for something in game and can progress quicker, The Division doesn't have that. 

    Also, the server issues, GTA Online had much much bigger server problems when it was launched, yet you love GTA Online just as much as I do :p 

    Another thing about the map and DLC, Destiny did the exact same thing but you enjoyed that game ;) 

    And you barely scratched the surface when you played the beta, you never even tried out the Dark Zone which is easily one of the most fun things about The Division! If you'd stayed on it, played some with Martin and I and still didn't like it then fair enough. But I just don't think you gave it enough of a chance, and you were already calling it boring before trying it so you were pretty much predisposed to not like it unfortunately bud.

    But just because you don't like it, doesn't mean others will feel the same way, I loved the beta, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna feel the same way about the full game.
    Pot kettle black..... I didn't force my opinion on anyone, just stated what I thought about it, the only one that's been trying to force your opinion on others (me via dm mostly) is you. Look I gave it a chance and didn't like it, it's not my type of game, if someone can't make their mind up from articles what's the point of articles? But I gave it a chance, played for a few hours so if after than lengh of time I couldn't get into it then I never will. Dark Zone is something I'd like even less so I didn't need to try it. There's plenty of games you wouldn't play due to articles or simply not your type of game, so I'm not sure why you can't accept its not a game I like.
    You posted articles which were simply wrong, or blowing up small issues into big ones. And I don't see why you'd post them if you didn't want to influence other people opinions? And you played for 1 hour dude. I saw when you launched the game, I then checked an hour later and you'd stopped playing. Never saw you launch it again. 

    And yes plenty of games I wouldn't play, but I tell you that and then that's it. Why do you have to bash The Division by posting stupid articles if you aren't interested in it? And I can accept that you don't like it, but what I can't accept is that you prejudged it, let that influence your opinion of it, barely gave it a chance (BTW, The Dark Zone is not PVP as you probably think, you'd know that if you had tried it and not just read articles), and are now still bashing it by calling it boring, yet to other people it's a bloody good game.

    Funny you say about DM's and trying to force opinions though, I haven't DM'd you about The Division since the beta ended over 2 weeks ago. How often do you DM me about Ark despite me telling you I think it's boring now and not worth playing?

  4. Got a new wheelchair yesterday got it home and the wheels came off. Typical luck really so I'm using my old one for the time being even though that's falling apart as well atm which is why I went for a new chair.
    Well with the stunts you can do on a wheelchair I'm not surprised you broke it already ;)

    Good old Ubosoft, so glad I thought the game was boring.

    And I still think you're missing out :p The beta was excellent, I'm massively looking forward to getting home and loading it up :p 

    No need to keep attacking the game just because you thought it was boring dude, to me it's awesome.

    And I was right! 
    Presenter: Steve Jones
    Pundits: DC, Webber, Wolff, Senna, Nic Hamilton, Prost, EJ and Alessandro Zanardi
    Commentators: Ben Edwards and DC
    Technical Reporter: Karun Chandok
    Interviews: Lee McKenzie
    Features: Murray Walker

    Pretty good!
    That's awesome! Seems C4 have a great team of people for their coverage. And Murray Walker! :) 

  7. No idea who Steve Jones is either, but I'm very happy with that line up otherwise! Trust me Matt, Chandok is more than up to the task of pit lane reporter, did you ever hear him commentate on Friday practice sessions? (Can't remember if it was BBC or Sky) He's very good, knows absolutely tons about the history of the sport too :) 

    It's funny on the pundits, it's like C4 has gone for drivers who have retired from the sport within the last decade, where Sky have the old blokes from 'back in the day' ;)

    For those of us in the UK, Mexico is going to be live on BT Sport Europe as ITV have other programmes on.
    So they're showing snooker instead of Formula E... God I hope they get less viewers on the snooker than they do for a typical Formula E race.

    Agreed on all points bud. Apparently Red Bull have also come up with their own design too which they claim is better than the Halo, but they haven't shown it publicly yet.

    I think maybe it's time F1 took a look at WEC's fully enclosed tbh. Like they bloody well should have looked at the Le Mans 60KPH yellow zones instead of the stupid VLC which allows Rosberg drivers to cheat and close the gap despite it being introduced to stop that. As much as people will bitch and moan that F1 is supposed to be open cockpit, I'd rather see a closed cockpit than the half effort of the Halo.
    Problem with the fully enclosed approach is that in the event of the car being upside down, poor bastard's going to be trapped, not to mention the overheating issues that will come with it, although there's probably some solution to it.
    They just gotta look at WEC again bud. It'll take a fair bit of redesign, but it's probably best to do that, start with a blank sheet, rather than trying to shoehorn cockpit protection to the current design of the cars.

    Rather than a driver having to leave the car from above them, the door on either side approach of WEC could work with a sidepod change. Plus in WEC the doors have explosive bolts to aid a driver escaping, and cockpit air con is mandatory. It'll increase the weight of the cars and obviously drop lap times, but with the kind of time frame it would take to implement stuff like this, there'd likely be time to develop a much more powerful electronic component to the engine to increase acceleration in an effort to not drop much lap time. And of course there's always improvements to be made from the tires!

    I'm just gonna pop two pics below that when I saw them got my cogs working lol. I don't want F1 to copy WEC completely, but WEC just seems to have nailed the driver protection side of things.

    *just look two posts above you lazy fffffffffffffffffffffffffff*
    Ah right, I stand corrected on that, but the rest still stands. Visibility is an issue, it still won't prevent small debris like what happened to Massa, and a wheel properly positioned could still reach the helmet. Not totally opposed to cockpit protection, but it has to be done properly or not at all. This halo, in my opinion, is not satisfactory.

    Like I said before, not only is it disgusting looking, it obstructs visibility and does sweet FA in protecting the driver. I seriously doubt that thing is strong enough to properly deflect something like a wheel or another car.

    If we're seriously going for cockpit protection, then it would have to be an entirely enclosed canopy. Which, for obvious reasons, is out of the question.

    Nico Rosberg says "Massive safety improvement". Mexicola says "you're a goddamn moron".
    Sorry to do this Mexi, but in terms of protection...



    This is another design they were looking at too, which honestly I prefer the look of, but below it i
    s how it performed in testing. I don't think it's a bad result at all, but the FIA weren't happy it seems. Also linking the article these images came from at the bottom of this post if anyone wants to read it.

    It's been confirmed that James Allen is leaving BBCR5L, meaning he could be commentator for C4...
    I wouldn't really have a problem with that, but I'm actually hoping he'll be one of C4's pit lane reporters, filling in a Ted-like role. Has anybody checked out his website? (www.jamesallenonf1.com - if you direct a comment to him below a story he sometimes replies) He's clearly massively passionate about F1 and has a ton of knowledge, so that kind of role would suit him.

    As for commentary, C4 have Coulthard so I've got my fingers crossed Ben Edwards will partner up with him again for commentary duties, I actually slightly prefered them for commentary over Crofty and Brundle.

    But if James Allen is to be one of C4's commentators, at least he was always better than Legtard.



  13. Imho, the Ferrari looks fugly while the RB looks stunning on track.
    I've been thinking the same actually :/ The Ferrari looked amazing in it's studio shots, and the Red Bull in it's ones still looked pretty good. Actually out on track, the Ferrari looks a bit weird, but the Red Bull really stands out and looks crazy good.
