I’ve just uploaded some proper photos along with a short video of the Wembley stadium area under construction. These photos where taken around 3 or more years ago.

Unfriendly Competiton

Recorded Unfriendly Competition, to a degree, being I did not record the whole quest, only the middle, but still shows most of what you have to do, probably the most important part anyway

Kind of drunk right now too

Oblivion: Umbra

I started playing Oblivion again the other day, I’m only level 3 or 4 at the moment but I thought I would go see Umbra and try and kill her, this is what happened:

A Weeks holiday!

Just finished work and now have a full week off, so I’m going to start playing a few games in high settings to see all the detail I have been missing.

My Vapor X card is brilliant, I know I said I was only getting 15 fps with AA turned on at x4 in CoD WaW, but I turned on sync frames and that fixed the lag

I downloaded Lord of the Rings Online the other day too, been playing that while I still have free game time. Its not some thing I would actually pay monthly for though, it seems to be void of any players and lacks any PvP or evil sided characters to pick from. It does deliver a steady story line which you can follow through out your time in Middle Earth, but other than that, I would rather play WoW.

Vapor X arrived!

I got my Sapphire 5770 Vapor X today, so I put every setting in CoD: WaW to the max, besides AA, as I only get 15FPS with x4AA, but without it I get 90FPS, so I’am pleased. I can’t even hear he fan when its under full load during a game and temperature at idle is 40C, not sure about the temp when under load, haven’t checked yet.

So its a great mid end card that can play most games on the highest settings without a problem, so if you’re on a budget, get this card.

Well I actually made my mind up and went for the Sapphire HD 5770 Vapor X. This is because the Vapor X series are meant to be the best cards for performance and cooling and I was lucky too, dabs only had 2 in stock and ocUK only had 1, but dabs turned out cheaper

One week to go

Well its one week till the half term, and with my job I get all the school holidays too! Also I am buying a XFX HD 5770 (possibly) this week, as I get paid on tuesday. I have been using a really old 7600GS since my 8800 died on me.
