Exactly Greg! Greg is a special case for sure. I dread to think what damage he will do with his new computer.

#142

Well there is a easy way to rectify this; watch………

#143

Yes there is: stop being a numpty.

I think Greg is throwing a tantrum and not talking to us anymore because of some weird protest over him being a numpty

Either that or he has his new computer and is in a mid-breakage-with-corrosive-nad-juice maneuver.

#145

Nar I was going to put up an insulting picture but I just went home instead. Still awaiting the PC; it's going to be a long day……

#146

Well, I guess that is because you don't want to impose. You want to go home, burrrrrrr!

So you are getting it today? Shiny! I will hopefully be on tonight so when you get sorted, get on Mumble and tell me your Steam username so we can talk.

I have to admit, seeing the machine you are getting I am rather jelly - it's one hell of a computer

#147

Being that kind of person I am hopeful. It's not going to set the world on fire but it should do me for a few years.

I didn't get round to sorting out the steam thing yesterday as Jen was over; I will try and do it today.

#148

I take it you went for Windows 7? What's gonna be your first game on it then Greg?

#149

Yea I went Win 7, upgraded the graphics card to the 4gig one and slapped in some liquid cooling. Defiantly Supreme Commander – Forged Alliance; graphs on full, dual monitored (one for map and one for game play) and 12 A.I.
Actually Greg unless you know any different I think supreme commander is the only game with proper support for proper dual screening.

#150

Shiny. I have never played Supreme Commander and have never been too interested in multi-monitor games. It's handy for working but more of a gimmick in games in my humble opinion.

#151

I would agree generally but the nature of Sup Com (eg zooming from unit view to planet wide view) lends itself very nicely to this approach.

I only played with this setup briefly as the old heap could just about run the game let alone dual head it.

#152

Fair enough. Probably simply the fact that I have never played a game yet that I would think would benefit from it.

Actually, come to think of it - KSP would work well. One screen for the main view and another for the orbital/map view. I wonder if that is something on the cards for the game.

Well I think that clears up the sort of person you are and the sort of person I am.

Actually, it only raises further questions regarding this mystifying subject.

#154

So how is the new machine then Greg? Did you get it all sorted?

#155

Yes Greg how is the new toy?

Have you broken it yet?

#156

Hello various Gregs! New toy is good thanks and surprisingly, still working.

Got the old Dual monitor running and it seems to be coping well with all the games I have chucked at it so far.

I got steam up and running but it seem I have two accounts, and typically my copy of half lift 2 was tied to the other one. Any way I got pissed off and just purchased another copy though steam.

Should be ready to G-mod it with you guys once I have reacquainted myself with the old keyboard and mouse control.

Yes you must break out of the old habits of those nasty things called "controllers". I am glad it has not blown up yet but I suppose there is still plenty of time...

Be good to see you on and yes - G-Mod is calling!

Have you sorted out Mumble yet? We will need that for G-moddage.

Yes having more than 4 buttons to mash may present you with a bit of a challenge Greg but i am sure you will cope.

It is lovely getting a new PC seeing all those games that killed your old one run sweet you lucky bugger.

Get on-line Greg and what is your Steam name?

#159

He is lumpyslum Greg. Just add both as friends as he is the sort of person that requires 2.0 accounts, bur?

#160

I think I replied to Gregs friend invite thing the other day. I will have a stab at mumble tonight. When do you want to give G-mod a go? Also can I get it from Steam?
