Yes, life!

For a moment I thought I was alone here.

Hi guys and the few girls, just checking in to see if there's any life left here on the forum?

Haven't seen any recent posts in months, except for that annoying spamming bot. Someone should ban him... CameronMR I think he's called.

This forum seems pretty dead to me, no post in days. With the magazine gone I also can't see any new people joining. Such a pity. At least we still have Sagamer forums which is very active.

Haven't posted in ages. See this thread also seems a little dead to me. Anyways, got me an Alienware X51.

Specs:
Intel Core i7 3770
Geforce GTX660
8GB DDR3

Double post

Was time to upgrade the old 8800GTX, so I got myself a Gigabyte GTX770:

I scheme it's time I make some effort to do and finish this. Been long enough (1 whole year and no updates. Shame on me.) I'll be looking for some components as time goes by. Going to do as much as I can second hand as new parts just cost too much. Have a look on www.carbonite.co.za I bought all of...

So I got my hands on a Nokia Lumia 920 (Windows Phone 8), and although I have only used it for a day and a half, I think this might prove to be a competitor to iOS for me. Android just didn't work for me, but this is a rather pleasant experience so far. I've heard it's a little light on the apps si...

I'm also loving FC3 at the moment. Riunning great on my old E8400 with a GTX480. Think settings are on Very High with 4xAA, 1920 x 1080.

Got one on 8ta but will be using my Vodacom sim, so still have to do the simswop.

Have to say, other than the looks and slightly longer screen it feels like my 4S. Haven't tried the maps app, think I'll rather download TomTom.

The Killers one is nice but very toned down. But some really good tracks on it. New PC stats - but not my PC mind. Intel Ci7 3.5 3770K 8MB HT+VT 22nm Intel DHZ77SL50K Spur Lake Media MB ATX Chassis - GB GZ-SETT2-142 750 W Corsair 20/24P 2x6/8P PSU LG 14X Blue-ray & DVD writer 4GB D3-1600 Transc...

So, who got them the new Iphone 5?

Bought myself a Canon Eos 1100D camera on the Incredible Black Friday special for R2999. Comes with a 18-55mm lens. I know absolutely nothing about photography, but looking forward to learn!

Just got me a Ps3 and Gran turismo 5, so I'm playing that. Got a bit bored with Forza 4.

/Suppose I should have posted the news here as well... :P On Sunday I finally got the Pebble Blue S3 and on my this phone is lovely... Congrats! Are you guys using any other launchers? Wanted to make my S3 look like it had Jelly Bean, so I installed Apex launcher with the Jelly Bean theme and Holo ...

Boought me and the gf each a Sandisk Sansa Clip+ mp3 player. Black one for me and a white one for her. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7m2mOX_56KE/T57KwuekC8I/AAAAAAAAB9o/71cb-YtEo0Q/s1600/sansa_clip+_5colors.jpg Alos bought me a Sandisk 64gb microsdxc class 10 card for the galaxy s3. http://www.jayceooi....

Get the GT86. Think it will be more fun to drive than the gti.

I bought a Bodyglove Anti Glare screen protector for the S3 as it was the only one I could find. I really don't like it. Makes the screen look like its "wet" or "snowy" if that makes sense. Spoils the lovely screen of the S3. It does its job well of reducing glare and doesn't sho...

Cool, don't think I'll install any
antivirus app at the moment. Don't really see the need for it. Won't be installing any dodgy stuff.

Any idea what you'll be getting?

If had had to choose between those it would probably be the Blackberry 9360 or the Samsung Gio.

Doesn't AVG chow the battery? Thinking about installing it on the S3, but I'm afraid it will greatly reduce battery life. Busy reading a couple of reviews about AVG.

Went to watch Prometheus in 3D. Have to say I loved it, although there is a lot of unanswered questions and definitely a sequel to follow.

The Sweet - Hellraiser

Driver was fun, but the story was quite short. Get it if you like driving around in a big city and "shifting" into different vehicles.

Still playing Diablo 3. Oh and I'm downloading Trails Evolution on the Xbox
