Haha, was cursing that same screen last night trying to get my SCII account working in offline mode after various log-in attempts. While it's cool to have noddy badges for the various achievements, my precious Cell C 4G bandwidth is not worth it. Now if only they could give us that option in D3.... ...

Almost there... It seems that the long, long waiting for Blizzard's highly anticipated Diablo III will come to an end soon. According to the Dark Side of Gaming website, the official beta of Diablo III was revealed at Activision Blizzard's WebCast Analyst Day that took place on September 2nd. Blizza...

Going to watch tomorrow, just trying to source a non-3D cinema (learned my lesson with Clash of the Titans)

Agree with Rusty.

My Cell C datastick won't connect via the dashboard in Win 7 64bit, but works just fine if I connect through the networking icon.

Hi all, I'm somewhat of a bedroom DJ, making my own mixes and podcasts for some years now. I've just completed a bit of a free-time project where I've mixed and mastered my own amateur album and now want to just tart it up slightly by adding a simple CD cover, however, the ones in Nero Cover Designe...

Rise of the Planet of the Apes was decent for the first 3/4, then it just got silly I know the Apes can talk in the later releases, but hearing Ceasar talk for the first time is ridiculous, after which it just gets worse when he comes riding into battle on horseback. While the Weta animation was gre...

A query to the WOWers. I have never so much a installed WoW as I never had a decent net connect. I now have a 2Gb / month Cell C whoosh data stick and have the following queries: Is there a pack available containing all the games, expansions, updates etc? Are these all necessary to play? How much da...

Have booked for Rise of the Planet of the Apes tomorrow, have heard really good things.

Last week I caught Horrible Bosses, enjoyed that more than the Hangover, really good film.

I've stayed away from fantasy fiction for a while now, but was convinced by a peer to read Patrick Rothfuss' "Name of the Wind", so bought it for my Kindle and am thoroughly enjoying it, honestly just one of the best books I've read in ages.

NNOOOOO!!!! Blizzard, you have in the space of one press-release, ruined the game I've been looking forward to for the past 9 years.

There were also "six" Star Wars movies, but actually only 3

Finally got around to watching HP & the Deathly Hallows on Saturday Night. I'm a huge fan of the series but can honestly say I fell asleep through the first movie of the last book. This concluding movie, however, was possibly my favourite of the film adaptations. I enjoyed it immensely and as th...

Troll-bait

Tl;dr - if you don't enjoy the mag anymore, don't buy it and spare us the extensive reasons therefore. I have bought every magazine since October 2000 and can say in all honesty that the mag is currently in it's strongest guise yet. Your complaints about the mag being geared to gaming are somewhat u...

Swearing at the blue one...

Thanks to all for the advice. These guys have totally borked things, thought we eradicated most of the problem last week, came in on Monday and server was stuck in a loop because they nuked active directory. Booted in Directory Services repair mode and reinstated the last system state backup and wha...

Booked to take the missus to see Bridesmaids tonight, looks interesting coming from the Judd Apatow crew. Went and saw X-Men Origins last week and really enjoyed, my second favourite movie to Wolverine. As for Green Lantern, keen for it, I really enjoy Ryan Reynolds, particularly in Blade: Trinity. ...

Take out LAN cable,Shut down, reboot in safe mode, delete software. If you can't fix it reinstall. Backup data to online storage first tho. Thanks for the help guys, I shut the router down, ran a full anti-rootkit, NOD antivirus / anti-spyware, bot search, all turned up empty? Did find bulk mailer ...

Help me asseblief, Got a call this morning from MWeb to say that our server has been hacked and is being used for phishing etc. They've gotten through the firewall and NOD, when I logged on after seeing this, I noticed a bunch of suspect services running that weren't there before and a 216Mb "w...

Hey man,

Just a word from the wise, you'll get a much better response with a descriptive title, like, Direct X / Geforce Driver Issue. Maybe the problem is with Black Ops, you patched lately?

Midway through Duke Nukem Forever and am enjoying it, but got given Portal 2 on the weekend and that's overtaken my time, loving it especially since it's the first Portal game I've played!

So after anticipating a weekend of Duke, Speed Services weren't so speedy and I only got my copy yesterday. Great. Check the back "one time activation via STEAM required", great. Install Duke, "one time activation" = 400Mb download on my 3G card - Fail? Total cost of game: R345 +...

My copy has been dispatched, going to be a fun weekend!

My personal favourite - Batman AA. While not strictly a PC game (cross-platforms) it's style and story absolutely captivated me.

Remember guys, its DUKE-DAY. Grab your first access passes (if you got them), redeem them and then start downloading. The demo is 1.8gb big. I didn't see the value in this. Get to play the demo a week before the game's release? A month would have been better. Let's see what the first look reviews s...
