  1. i use kodi on 3 of my HTPC's,... its fantastic but if you want it to be good, prepare to spend alot of time sorting it out,. but when you have it how you want, its better then any bought software, with it being able to add add-ons for almost anything, and the community is always able to help with problems. iv spent nearly a year tweaking my setups and still do bits from time to time,. things like adding my custom images and sorting movie sets, adding emulators, with artwork and trailers etc... i have steam with advanced launcher, setup so it launches into big picture mode and lets me stream from my gaming rig. its great.. but like i said prepare to spend some time learning new things and tweaking things to your liking. I personally love it and it got my girlfriend into computers and her sisters kids and my niece find it easy to use now its setup, my mum even wanted one and bought a whole new build just to have one in her living room and set up with an MySQL library to the other ones in the house she loves it and hasn't used a dvd/bluray/tv box since and they are real technophobes .. iv set it up to be completely automated from updates to turning it on no windows screen just loads into kodi ready to use. really highly recommend it! edit: yea its fine in windows 10,. just check your addons you want though, and yes its 1000x better then power dvd... although it has no native support for playing bluray disks so i use power dvd as an external player when watching bluray disks, but to be honest i havent used it ever its just there "incase"
  2. peanut are the BEST! good show sir!
  3. you really like M&M's? peanut or chocolate? ... and to the topic i kinda agree.. some of the content does seem alittle thrown together. for SYW3 i believe its the editing thats the problem..the edit should have a narrative, and give pace and excitment to the scenes, but they just seem to linger with no energy and it makes the whole thing seem static and boring, then you'll have a burst of good editing ( the part where lukes computer didnt boot again for example) but goes back to slow paced, if it was done, as they say they want it like a top gear series, i wouldnt mind waiting a week. and the "next time on" parts are just dumb... they use them on tv shows to have the viewer WANT to come back, to make them excited for next time "OMG ITS GONNA BE BETTER NEXT WEEK!!!" see the walking dead trailers ( they make it look great, then the episode is 30 mins of walking) but the point still stands.. if edzel has to copy top gear ( because thats what he said he was researching) shot for shot., just with computer parts/driving around etc... ( star wars did it for the space combat with old WW2 movies) to give it that pace., if its not important to the narrative.. DONT include it... 2 mins of austin putting up black sheets for instance. the poblem isnt the amount of episodes but the pace of them... noone said "OMG 24 is sooooo long why have 24 episodes!!" its because it was fast paced and exciting to watch... when people have been waiting a whole week and they get barely anything new or just 5 minutes of mundane tasks, it slows the pace and people get bored... they waited a week for this!.. like i said the series could be 24 episodes,. aslong as there is excitement, a narrative and something for the viewer to actually take in...and want to tune in.... justy my thoughts on it.,. and yea if you want to be taken seriously as HW pro's please tone down the sex jokes,.. or save them for the WAN show... which you really need to fix... be on time,., make sure its set up.. get a damn producer for it... you average now 8000 viewers!,. the cooptional podcast can reach 40,000 and they (usually) have a seemless show. it seems now every week the WAN is not thought out, sound problem video problems, computer problems...all stuff for a TECH show should be good 90% of the time. the live stream used to feel like a one on one with linus and luke. like it was a community thing... now WE tell YOU the news....and then YOU tell US!... no twitter interaction anymore... theres no... *lets have a thread with questions for linus luke in the forum for the WAN show* nothing.... we are supporting YOU... and it seems like you dont care now because we'll just "put up with it", and "oh thats how LTT is"... well its not professional now..which you want to be.. your not a couple of people in a garage anymore... you cant really use that excuse.
  4. metal gear phantom pain.... after 254 hours and 100% completion with all achievements, i loved the gameplay but the story ...well thats another topic... but as much as i loved it i cant see myself wanting to play it again.
  5. I installed cryogen on my old one... now i have two works like a charm
  6. have you changed the graphics option in the bios? thank it was called IGP check its set to disabled and plug your monitor into your card. sorry if this has been suggested
  7. thats great news, getting to the second stage is awesome, well done dude
  8. Xpadder is what you want there is a free version http://sourceforge.net/projects/xpadder/ Use it all the time , if you get the paid version it can do a lot more, use this for my htpc's
  9. ok here's your BIOS http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/BIOS/mb_bios_ga-f2a68hm-ds2h_f2c.zip once you have downloaded that, read the instructions here CAREFULLY, http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte/27576-bios-flashing-how-qflash-guide.html you will need a USB flash drive,. plug that in then follow the instructions EXACTLY to flash your bios, to ( hopefully) get your computer to load from the flash drive, unplug all other drives (HDD's/SSD'd etc) so the computer should default boot to the only one there ( which will be your flash drive) from there you should be able to update the bios . If you are not sure what your doing AT ANY POINT then message back BEFORE you do anything, we will guide you through it.. if after that it does not work, you may have to RMA your board as we have almost exhausted your options ATM
  10. what country are you in my man, if you dont want to post it here PM me
  11. whats your motherboard make and model again dude? I'll find out for you how you do your particular one
  12. Ok, its looking more and more like you have a dead mobo unfortunately, are you able to flash the bios to the newest version or reflash it if you are on the latest one?, if this doesn't work start the RMA process with your mobo manufacturer
  13. Sweet just noticed I got my beta key through , so I'll give it a try, thanks for the info mate
  14. No, as long as they are working and nothings wrong nowadays it doesn't really matter what order you install them
  15. Thanks for this, was interested to see how it ran, did you enjoy the game?
  16. OMG...thats sooo funny... does kinda show the age of some though =/, and whats with this 4chan speak of "topkek" and "faggit" all of a sudden =/ unless im old and this is how the kids speak now-a-days , anyways, nicky V bro is a G yo ( think thats correct, see kids im cool too) also i love the " dennis doesnt care so its not racist...yes... it is...it just means he's not offended by it, but if LTT wants to be more professional they should tone it down, or have a different channel for V-logs, LTT is a great resource, so to have younger kids watching and thinking "thats ok" , well its not,... It doesnt bother me personally, but yano, just saying =/
  17. ok buddy, dont rush make sure your doing everything right =)
  18. id try flashing the bios dude. if its still the same then the video out is corrupting the image IMO
  19. You mean you have a stand off without a screw in?, have you tried with one stick of ram, take everything out the case and connect only the basics , use your motherboard box to pu your motherboard on, then reseat the CPU ( check for bent pins while your doing this,) then reseat your heatsink ( remember, don't overtighten the screws, connect your power supply, and put in one stick of ram, and plug in your mouse\keyboard and monitor, try going yo bios again, if it doesn't work try with the other stick, do this and report your findings as you do it, have a good look at the CPU pins as well dude, make sure they are all straight
  20. Id buy AMD dno what id do with the other $999,999 though ooooooohhhhh
