I've just hit 35 (if you weren't aware . . . ) and bought a PS3 for my birthday. Am I too old? Should I be directing my priorities elsewhere? Is gaming now respectable? Discuss, my Nerds of England (and elsewhere)

My upgrade is due next week and I want something decent but have no idea what to get. Currently using a Nokia N8 which I got for nothing through work but apart from the boss camera, it's doing my head in. The phone I actually got with the contract was an N97 which was fucking shit. Need to get away from Symbian and wont be touching Nokias until they start rolling out the Windows OS. So, any suggestions???

Got up this morning and the site was down. Looking at the times of the last posts on the forum it looks like it went off around 12.20am They've rebooted the server so it's back up now, but I'm wondering what caused it. Were there any server overload messages around the time it went off? I logged off just before it must have gone down, as I was on around midnight I think. It was all fine at that time.

Wonder if someone with a bit of knowledge can give me some advice. Basically, I only have a desktop and a phone that doesn't support video out, ie can't be connected to the Tv. I basically want to buy something to stream football, preferably through the TV but that's not essential. Question is, what's the best way to go? Tablet or laptop? If so, which one? How important is the Internet connection? As in, could that scupper the whole plan? Any advice here? Cheers

Many up for this? I'm sure those involved in the FM09 game will be interested, but I'm sure we can squeeze in a few more bods as well, perhaps.... If people are interested, I'll stick up the rules that were used during the FM09 game, as both a refresher for seasoned pros and a heads up for the newbies out there. I may also make another suggestion or two to help keep the game flowing. Once interest has been sorted and the rules digested by all, we can then arrange days and times most suitable for sessions. This is by far the hardest aspect of a network game to arrange. The last thing that will need to be done is to choose a suitable league, or leagues, for us t…

Time to prepare for the next influx of must have titles. I suspect that the most anticipated releases of the year will be: GTA V (release date unknown) Gears of War: Judgment (19/03/13) The Last Of Us (07/05/13). Other games that I would imagine will be high on people's lists in the early part of the year will include: Dead Space 3 (05/02/13) Aliens: Colonial Marines (12/02/13) Crysis 3 (19/02/13) Tomb Raider (05/03/13) God of War: Ascencion (12/03/13) Bioshock Infinite (26/03/13) Then, on top of that little lot, there's DmC: Devil May Cry (15/01/13), Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (19/02/13), StarCraft II (12/03/13) and all the usual sporting…

Since the PSU (or may be motherboard, nerd in repair shop couldn't/wouldn't tell me which) has died on my pc, I've decide to give up getting it fixed and splash out on a new laptop instead. I've narrowed it down to Buy HP Pavilion G6 1165SA 750GB 15.6 Inch Laptop - Red at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for Laptops. or Fujitsu AH531 Laptop - Laptops | Ebuyer.com It's not gonna be used for gaming or anything, just general browsing and watching movies streamed through my tv. I can get the HP one for £340 so price difference isn't an issue just wondered if anyone more clued up than myself (i.e 90% of the forum) could give me some pointers. Cheers.

Always interested to know what other people waste I mean spend their time on. So, mine: Nintendo Switch - Probably my main system due to being able to play it in front of the telly in docked mode, or just anywhere in portable mode. Nintendo Wii - I modded this a few years ago. Runs many hundreds of Snes, Nes and Megadrive games. Also runs Gamecube games off an SD memory card. It is supposed to run Wii games off a card but i've only managed to do that a couple of times (would need to buy an externally powered USB drive. Maybe one day). My 5 year old loves playing the motion control games - I still think the Wii is a brilliantly fun machine. …

Bought my last laptop in 2010 when I had a decent job and plenty of spare cash, so went for a Macbook. It's close to emitting it's death rattle as I type this so, once I've worked out how to transfer all the various files on my external hard drive into formats Windows will accept, I'll shortly need to buy a new one, and enjoy neither of the above circumstances nowadays. If anyone has any recommendations for decent, reliable budget laptops which can comfortably handle the like of web surfing, some torrents/Kodi, playing music (Spotify mostly) and video and a bit of word processing, I would be much obliged.

Couldn't see a thread on it. Anyone been playing? I started last night and it seems pretty good, though the team selection screen isn't as user-friendly as in previous games. Changing player roles seems a bit more fiddly and less obvious. It runs much better (somehow) on my laptop than earlier versiona of the series, which is great.

How easy is this? I've somehow managed to get a midgy between the laptop screen and the clear protector. It was moving around on the screen and annoying me so I killed it. However, I now have a dead midgy in the middle of the screen on my laptop and it's even more fucking annoying. Could I take it apart and clean the screen myself, how easy would this be to do? Or do I need to get someone else to do this as I may fuck it up? How much would this cost?

I've just completed Mass Effect and I'm gutted! Not because I didn't enjoy the game but because I'll never be able to play through it again and have the story revealed as I progress. What a game, what a story. Utterly superb, it restores your faith in video games when something like this comes along. Honourable mention must also go to Bioshock. A truly 'adult' videogame, and not in any smutty sense!

A thread on this seemed like the best idea seeing as the rate the last game thread has had a lot of Cyberpunk in it lately and also because I'm kind of alone here at the moment in thinking it's an awesome game despite the bugs and lack of other stuff a lot of players expected (so if nothing else I can at least ramble a bit here instead and then leave it.) That's maybe down to my own liking of cyberpunk scifi even outside of games but also two other things : after it finally got revealed at E3 I was also hyped but eventually cooled off on it because I thought the hype had got out of hand. The other thing being that I never expected it to be a GTA-like game, and I think CDP…

Fucking love them. Been bored lately after bleading all of my HBO boxsets to death, so started playing CIV III again (my PC can't handle the fourth one, which is a shame) I've revisisted one of the games I saved ages ago but haven't touched for about a year. At the time I was involved in a stalemate with the French (I was Roman) and we'd pretty much divided the planet between us. We've got the same level of technology, but I've managed to build some ICBMs and am going to fuck them up in the next two days or so. I've also got a crafty little city established just on the tip of their main landmass that they don't know about, I'm going to slip some tactical nu…
