Really? I came out the cinema cursing the fool for ruining the whole thing. The sets were cast-offs from Flash Gordon and the cast were off in their roles - Sting fgs!! The modern re-make is superior but still reduces the evvironmental message in the books to a sideshow - and turned...

I took advantage of a deal on ARAhistory Untold to upgrade to the premium package: 40%off til Jan. 2nd - max civs, full scale maps and Wilma Mankiller in a power suit...what's not to like?

For decades the question was, "why can't British men win Wimbledon?" Now it has be asked "what happened to the British Ladies? No finalist since Virginia Wade in '77 and i can only recall one getting to the semi-final's recently. Are they too busy getting endorsements for hair products?

I watch Wimbledon every year (since 1977) and keep an eye on the other grad slam events. I'm not that excited about the new generation, although Alcaraz has Game. I've been a big fan of Djokovic since he won Wimbledon and still haven't seen any player compare with his strength of charecter and...

I'm playing it on PC and found it complicated at first...not only founding cities but fiddling about with amenities and raw materials, finding the best location for food and resources, establishing trade and defending from enemies, researching technology and gaining enough prestige to ensure you...

I take your point...and, after all, when i've spent over 1k on a new 'puter the least i can do is put in a few extra quid to keep it shiny. :cool:

Thanks for the tip - although i was hoping to limit the price to £30 or less...but you gets what you pays for, i guess.

While i'm waiting for the release of Civ-VII next year, i'm playing ARA-History Untold to fill the time: it's tricky finding a balance between your economy, military and prestige in order to advance through the Acts, but after a rocky start i'm getting into it. The graphics look garish from a...

Delighted as i am with my sparkling Asus, i'd like to keep it that way and wonder if anyone can recommend a cleaning kit?

Thanks Tony. (y) I was anxious about delving into the cpu where untold terrors await.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but i've got a bunch of cables left in the box and wonder what they should be connected to? I've had bits left over after assembling Ikea and maybe the guys at PCS missed something out and went for a lunch break...

Has anybody watched Cycle around Japan ? A regular show on NHKJapan that takes you around the country in 30-50 minute episodes, meeting people and highlighting the cultural joys to be found...too old and creaky to ride the roads, but i've enjoyed seeing most of the British Isles in my time.

I've no idea what i'm doing but very excited to be here all the same. Downloading updates to the first new PC i've had since United won the league...yeah, i know, that long, but news of a new Civilization game forthcoming next February (11th) and Windows 10 coming to the end of its lifetime i...
