    That's good news, but only if NBN Co can fix the congestion problems which happen at peak times. I get 70-80 Mbps and 30 ms ping during off peak times, but it slows right down to <10 Mbps and 200 ping during busy times. This is with an FTTN connection though.

    Not sure.

    A faint "Activate Windows 10" watermark will appear in the bottom left corner of the screen after a little while.

    I remember him saying a while ago his name came from a combination of 'barnacle' and 'Hercules', so it is pronounced like Hercules.

    Yep, Alicia Quirk from my home town is coming back with a gold medal from the women's Rugby 7's. Great team

    It should be noted that new release titles will continue to be DX11 and DX12 games for some time now. If developers ditch DX11 completely they will be abandoning all of their non-Windows 10 customers. The best course of action is to use Vulkan, but I don't foresee many devs using it.

    This is basically the perfect phone. All the best features of other popular flagships, but with a bigger battery and better sound, and a lower price.

    They will be almost exactly the same in terms of cooling. You should pick whichever one fits your budget and looks the best to you.

    So did you uninstall Origin? The folder should be present if Origin is installed onto the system. If it's not appearing properly now, it should be uninstalled completely and reinstalled. Then the OriginGames folder can be used with the Origin client.

    In that case, you can just put the OriginGames folder anywhere on the HDD, then with your freshly installed Origin client go to Application Settings > Advanced and choose the location Origin should launch games from.

    I've moved my BF4 installation between drives several times before. The way I've always done it is to have a fresh install of Origin (don't just move the Origin folder from one drive to another), and then move the Origin Games folder containing BF4 into ProgramFiles x86. Open Origin and launch BF4, it will then check all the files for the game, then you can play.

    How about a key switch like a car ignition? Just keep the key inserted or nearby. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Key-Switch-with-2-Keys/dp/B0002BA3PE Keep in mind that when using it, the key should be turned to the on position and then returned back to the off position, otherwise the motherboard will think you are holding the button (which will turn off the system after 5 seconds).

    Polaris 10 is the high performance Polaris chip, rumoured to feature 8GB of GDDR5X as HBM is limited to 4GB. Polaris 11 is the smaller chip which was featured in the SWBF demo against the GTX 950 and had roughly 2x perf/watt compared to Maxwell. Polaris 10 & 11 will both feature technologies like HDR and Async compute. The architecture change and shrink from 28nm to 14nm will bring ~2.5x perf/watt compared to Fiji. Vega 10 is the big chip coming in 2017 and featuring HBM2. It is likely a refined Polaris architecture - something akin to a Titan-class card. GDDR5 for mainstream. GDDR5X or maybe HBM for high end. HBM2 for the Vega 10 flagship class. HBM2 (2x HBM speed) > HBM & GDDR5X (>2x GDDR5 speed). One advantage of GDDR5X is that it is very similar to GDDR5 in design. The Titan-class Pascal card will have HBM2, the high end (GTX 1080/1070/1060) will have GDDR5X, the mainstream will have GDDR5. Not a tangible difference. 14nm is the process of Samsung/GlobalFoundries, 16nm by TSMC. Expect a 2x performance increase with slightly lower power requirements. Keep in mind a lot of this info is based on rumour, but the prospect of a completely new GPU lineup from AMD is exciting, as is the new memory technology and stuff like GPUopen, Vulkan, HDR, Async and VR.

    Yeah, the PM-01 looks like a Noctis with a bit of Phantom mixed in. Not a fan of the PC-J60, but the PC-O9 looks slick.

    EA CFO Blake Jorgensen revealed he's already seen the game and thinks it's a "fun, new Battlefield''. And that it ''will be a return to a Battlefield military-style game; more to come on that''. When asked about what Battlefield 5 will offer, Patrick Bach said “More features. More extras. More destruction.'' And supposedly the title of the game will be Battlefield 5: Armageddon. My mistake - they haven't actually confirmed a modern setting. However, the evidence above leads me to believe it will be in a modern setting for sure. I don't think a game set in WWI - assuming it were historically accurate - would have more large scale destruction and "extras" like weapons or gadgets. Also, the name "Armageddon" itself implies some huge, cataclysmic war - far greater than any battle seen in WWI.

    I am extremely doubtful BF5 would be set in WWI. If the developers are tied to such a historic setting there would be very little flexibility in weapons, vehicles and maps - all things which make Battlefield so compelling. I'm hoping for a 1980s-1990s (e.g. conflict in Somalia, Panama; Soviet-Afghan war; Gulf War; Iran-Iraq) setting where there are some less developed versions of the modern technology we see today. I don't think many games have been set in this time period. Expansions or DLCs focusing on WWI, WWII, Vietnam and Korea could certainly be interesting and appreciated too. However, I'm pretty sure EA/DICE have confirmed that it will be set in modern times/near-future, so anything else is wishful thinking.

    But the editing of the finished CSF videos is half the fun. Although it would be cool for them to do an update video 1-2 times a year where all the staff can go over what they've been doing that year (in both CSF and LTT)

    Damn, if what you're saying is true then I'm worried my G602 will start to give up on me. I've only had it for 3 weeks and it's been flawless. If anything happens I'll be sure to post about it. You also mentioned the weight of the G602 due to the batteries. Consider using Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries - they're quite a bit lighter than the included ones and last longer too.

    If Windows didn't automatically install the Asus touchpad driver you will have to search for it yourself online, otherwise it will remain a basic touchpad. I had the same thing happen with my Lenovo touchpad but Windows managed to find the driver and install it automatically with the Windows 10 v1151 update. EDIT: Okay, after some Googling I found the new Asus Smart Gesture driver which should help you out: dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/Apps_for_Win10/SmartGesture/SmartGesture_Win10_64_VER4012.zip

    If I were you I'd hold off a little longer, perhaps buy it when it drops to $20-30. I agree that much of the game is repetition there are of course a few really great moments of fun and destruction. This is coming from someone with 100 hours in JC2 (Plus another 130 hours in the standalone MP mod). The biggest reason I bought the game was because it had the unofficial multiplayer and now it has been revealed that the people working on JC2MP are now working on JC3MP - and once again it will be amazing!
