Afternoon GBR
NotNozireV
18:28:51
So, I'm selling on ebay and this prat is trying to get me to end early for x amount of money. I immediately blocked him from bidding.
NotNozireV
18:28:56
If I wanted to sell i'd put up a buy now option.
NotNozireV
18:30:24
After that last fella I told you about, I preemptively block anyone who try to make weird deals.
NotNozireV
18:33:26
The last thing I need is them placing a bid at the last sec then trying to pull another scam once they get the item (ie swapping items then returning it to me).
GBRedneck
18:34:42
Hey fella, sorry been out to pick up the missus
GBRedneck
18:36:24

NotNozireV
19:52:01
I've heard good things about BFSW
NotNozireV
19:52:15
Its probably the first EA that's actually a good product
NotNozireV
19:52:21
Which is shocking
GBRedneck
19:52:58
i've never found a star wars game which conveys the sheer size and depth of star wars
GBRedneck
19:53:27
but that one does
GBRedneck
19:53:34
well from the bit i played ie the hoth stuff
NotNozireV
19:54:29
How many maps can you play in the demo?
GBRedneck
19:54:38
theres 2
GBRedneck
19:54:43
the hoth one with the ATAT's
GBRedneck
19:54:53
and a rescue pod thing, which is a bit like horde on GOW
NotNozireV
19:55:48
What is the ATAT like to control?
GBRedneck
19:56:18
not great i have to see it kind of does its own route and then oyu shoot from the head bit
GBRedneck
19:56:39
SCOUT WALKers are pretty weak
NotNozireV
19:57:13
So it follows a track and you just shoot from it?
GBRedneck
19:57:43
yeah
NotNozireV
19:57:50
Hmmm.
GBRedneck
19:57:51
but the bit where you are on the ground is pretty cool
NotNozireV
19:57:51
:/
GBRedneck
19:57:56
scale is amazing
NotNozireV
19:58:12
They finally put in large maps?
GBRedneck
19:58:22
its huge mate
NotNozireV
19:58:27
Awesome
GBRedneck
19:58:42
honestly i've not found a game thats got me this excited in ages
NotNozireV
19:58:48
I absolutely hate BF games because of the small maps, glad they're maturing
GBRedneck
20:00:32
i didnt think BF4 was too bad
NotNozireV
20:04:22
It just crashed way too much for me on the PC
NotNozireV
20:04:46
Also I hate hitting that virual wall while flying
GBRedneck
20:05:42
ACTION never quite got the hang of flying in BF4
GBRedneck
20:06:07
so never tried to fly much
NotNozireV
20:06:08
I would never try it with a mouse
NotNozireV
20:06:24
Its awesome with a joystick
GBRedneck
20:08:38
i only have the xbox for gaming
GBRedneck
20:08:50

GBRedneck
20:24:42

NotNozireV
20:26:07
I got a book for only $5 from the UK like a year ago. I was shocked at how cheap it is to ship books
NotNozireV
20:27:11
Is that bag padded?
GBRedneck
20:27:19

GBRedneck
20:28:39

GBRedneck
21:25:01
are you insane?
GBRedneck
21:25:02
lol
GBRedneck
21:26:06
am toying with getting me a 4k monitor
GBRedneck
21:28:46
what do you think?
NotNozireV
21:31:37
Bah
NotNozireV
21:31:47
I think 4k monitors are the new 3DTVs
NotNozireV
21:31:53
its just a new gimmick IMO
GBRedneck
21:31:55
no good?
NotNozireV
21:32:34
I have no idea because I don't use a 4k monitor but I looked at a few at best buy once lol
NotNozireV
21:33:01
I can look at the screen 1ft away without the screen looking pixelated
NotNozireV
21:33:04
...so there's that
GBRedneck
21:33:21
i need i want the extra resolution
NotNozireV
21:33:48
I don't see the use for it unless you're a graphics designer or video editors
GBRedneck
21:34:09
i have probably 20-30 rdp sessions open at any one time
GBRedneck
21:34:23
need more space than my 2560x1440 screens have
NotNozireV
21:34:32
ah
NotNozireV
21:34:46
I would just go for cheaper monitors for that
GBRedneck
21:35:02
i figure $450 is a reasonably cheap monitor
NotNozireV
21:35:21
lol ...I was thinking $45 on ebay
GBRedneck
21:35:25
HEHE
GBRedneck
21:35:33
i have 2 apple thuderbolt displays
NotNozireV
21:35:39
Very nice
GBRedneck
21:35:54
and the display area is not big enough for me
GBRedneck
21:35:58
how sad is thta
NotNozireV
21:36:55
If you're only using it to remote in to systems I would just got the cheap large monitors. I honestly don't see the neeed for a 4k monitor for just RDP but that's just me
GBRedneck
21:37:31
i know what you mean, i am a resolution tart!
NotNozireV
21:37:56
:D
NotNozireV
21:38:48
BTW, I think OTA will make a huge comeback when 4k and 8k becomes the norm. I don't see how cable/internet companies will be support those resolutions raw and uncompressed.
NotNozireV
21:38:49
raw and uncompressed is the key word here.
GBRedneck
21:39:08
am not talking about TV
GBRedneck
21:39:17
i just need a monitor
NotNozireV
21:39:48
Right I understand I'm just making a point about OTA
GBRedneck
21:39:58
is it not a big thing over there?
GBRedneck
21:40:06
its the norm over here
GBRedneck
21:40:10
every house has an aerial
NotNozireV
21:41:15
I would say that people here like blowing their money away on cable over getting it for free on OTA
GBRedneck
21:41:46
yup its the same here
GBRedneck
21:41:55
Sky TV is serious $$$ a monthy
NotNozireV
21:41:58
Plus you're asking some people to put an antenna on their roof and that aint gonna happen
GBRedneck
21:42:05
no?
NotNozireV
21:42:34
I see way too many half assed attempts where I live
NotNozireV
21:43:08
I talking antenna mast bend at an angle and the antenna pointed to the sky
GBRedneck
21:43:22
yup thats what we have
GBRedneck
21:43:29
like i say the norm here
NotNozireV
21:43:35
lol
NotNozireV
21:44:13
People would it hurt to just take 30 mins to propertly attach it to the house?
NotNozireV
21:44:19
They have brackets for that ya know!
NotNozireV
21:44:23
lol
GBRedneck
21:44:31
people dont do that?
NotNozireV
21:44:46
Like I said, they half ass it
GBRedneck
21:45:29
I have decided i will never pay for TV services again
GBRedneck
21:45:42
well excluding netflix obviously
NotNozireV
21:46:12
Good for you
NotNozireV
21:46:14
Same here
NotNozireV
21:46:22
I gave up on that garbage in 2007
NotNozireV
21:46:34
I was paying $127 for crap with commercials
GBRedneck
21:46:41
yup same sort of thing here
GBRedneck
21:46:57
though they managed to keep me a little longer, by dropping the fees down to like $40 a month
NotNozireV
21:46:57
Plus the installer guy was rude
NotNozireV
21:48:22
I remember when I just wanted cable internet, the asshole installer found out that I could get basic cable and installed a block on the line then told me it would be $49.
NotNozireV
21:48:30
Sorry for using such strong language
NotNozireV
21:48:42
but he really was an ass
NotNozireV
21:49:27
Back then I thought cable news was really worth the price, bleh
GBRedneck
21:49:35
you know something IRC is the one place i dont cuss
GBRedneck
21:49:38
its quite funny
NotNozireV
21:49:43
lol!
NotNozireV
21:49:58
You brits have an interesting way of cussing
NotNozireV
21:50:08
"blimey","twatters", etc, etc
GBRedneck
21:50:14
seriously my wife is always telling me off for the f word
NotNozireV
21:50:46
"Don't you f'ing use the f-word here mister!"
NotNozireV
21:50:47
:P
GBRedneck
21:52:05
i find it quite amausing
NotNozireV
21:52:33
GBRedneck
21:54:14
just watching some amusing program called "crazy ex girlfriend" set in west covina
GBRedneck
21:54:20
sort of amusing
NotNozireV
21:54:57
whoa! west covina? whaaaaaaat?
GBRedneck
21:55:11
only downloaded it this morning
NotNozireV
21:55:38
I've heard of a place called Addiscombe
NotNozireV
21:56:46
I'm just saying random places. Lame attempt as humour I suppose lol
GBRedneck
21:56:52
lol
GBRedneck
21:56:58
i thought you were comparing places,
GBRedneck
21:57:09
ie if west covina was in london it would be addiscombe
GBRedneck
21:57:10
lol
NotNozireV
21:57:19
lol
NotNozireV
21:57:48
Is this it? "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is an American musical comedy-drama television series, that premiered on October 12, 2015"
GBRedneck
21:57:57
thats it
NotNozireV
21:58:07
I will have to check it out then
NotNozireV
21:59:07
I went to see the maze runner 2 and what a steaming pile of shit that was IMO
NotNozireV
21:59:41
It was nothing like the first movie
GBRedneck
21:59:48
i just cant find anything at the cinema i want to see at the moment
NotNozireV
22:00:07
The ending is what made me mad
NotNozireV
22:00:27
because it didnt have an ending
NotNozireV
22:00:36
It was more like a "to be continued"
NotNozireV
22:00:50
...in the worst way possible
GBRedneck
22:00:52
lol that sort of thing is so irritating
NotNozireV
22:01:25
"I just wasted 2 hours of my life and you didnt even bother to give me an ending? SCREW YOU!"
NotNozireV
22:01:28
lol
NotNozireV
22:01:45
oh, and they had zombies *rolls eyes*
NotNozireV
22:02:10
Although I was left wondering who the bad guys really were
NotNozireV
22:02:43
I don't want to spoil it too much lol
GBRedneck
22:03:02
not a film i have any wish to see
NotNozireV
22:03:13
Well, okay then
GBRedneck
22:04:02
dont worry about spoiling it for me
NotNozireV
22:04:48
The "bad guys" just want to find a cure for a zombie disease and use non lethal weapons to take people down but the good guys want to kill the "bad guys" so they won't find the cure and use explosives and firearms to prevent that from happening.
NotNozireV
22:05:07
I was left wondering who the bad guys really were
NotNozireV
22:05:30
I thought that plot twist (if you can call it that) was very interesting
GBRedneck
22:07:07
yeah sounds it
GBRedneck
22:08:47
so when do you get hte xbox?
NotNozireV
22:09:27
Later tonight
NotNozireV
22:09:34
but I may be too busy to unbox it
NotNozireV
22:09:39
We shall see
GBRedneck
22:10:22
well good luck with it
NotNozireV
22:10:30
Hey thx
NotNozireV
22:10:53
There is nothing more refreshing than standing out in the rain when its 85+ degrees outside
GBRedneck
22:11:01
never experienced that
NotNozireV
22:11:07
Its awesome
NotNozireV
22:11:15
So refreshing
NotNozireV
22:11:32
If there was a place that I could experience that often I would go there
NotNozireV
22:11:39
I suppose Hawaii has places like that
NotNozireV
22:13:44
Geez these two are a-holes http://mashable.com/2015/10/13/tesla-gigafactory-assault/ but they're only being charged with tresspassing. WTF?
NotNozireV
22:15:11
Driving onto private property then running into people with a vehicle?
NotNozireV
22:15:19
