Nice post mate. Sounds like you guys are getting pretty shit-hot!
Hmm – no; only Matt is shit hot – he usually has treble the points of everyone else on the server. 😯
I did enjoy the games a lot though – i think good coms is the key point, really helpful to know where other people are and get a heads up on the action around you. Lost count of the times Matt shouted out something along the lines of “pyro coming up the stairs on your righ” and me wasting them with a rocket surprise. 😀
What happened to you Turks? You should have tried connecting again!
Good memories… but online games always end up in both people turtelling to the max… then whoever attacks first loses 🙂
I think it still has a lamp – but it only needs replaced after 20000 hours. Its not full Hidef and may be more prone to rainbows than other machines…

I dont have radeon anymore – but it is probably still called ‘catalyst control panel’ – just open that up (will be on your desktop or in your programme list) and look to see what version you have there.
Alternatively just find your gfx card in hardware and click the ‘drivers’ tab to see what driver version you have.
Wouldn’t normally auto update…. but windows has been smarter lately and offering optional updates from NVIDA as part of automatic updates… do you have that switched on?
Ok…. no idea if anyone is interested in this stuff but anyhooooo….
Now finished another full mod…. called the flash version.

There is also a cool sd game – which literally is the game as realised in flash… but thats another thing.
Anyway…. this mod is superb. Interesting levels, not frustrating (maybe a bit too easy) but very enjoyable. The boss ending is even better than the original (though they could have used better textures on the baddie… a small criticism.)
9/10 – if you haven’t played it… do it now!
ffs turks… fire up that PC of yours and get on TS tonight and we can have a game. Whats wrong with everyone? Me n Matt are getting lonely on there.
Just had a look at your projector – it sounds gash.
There is very little to be gained from going for a projector at this price range I understand (better off with a good LCD TV.)
You need to spend about 800 quid…. this gets good reviews on the forums and this place has a nice price on it….

Weird – I’m looking for one too!
Tooth is right re DLP – make sure you dont see rainbows before you buy (it is a very idiosyncratic thing… you might not see rainbows but your mate will… so it’s a gamble.)
LCD projectors are a safer bet – but need regular cleaning of filters and some people think the picture isn’t as good.
I am looking at this one…

Those guys seem to be one of the better retailers around.
Right…. just finished portal prelude last night. http://www.portalprelude.com/
This is a complete user made mod of 20 levels that has a proper story line and quite a few new features.
It is patchy…. the voices are all done with computer generated speech… and so sound absolutely ridiculous. The plot is not the best… but not bad.
Some of the puzzles are satisfying – but a lot depend on fast reflexes and precision aiming which is ok for leet gamers like me 🙄 but could really piss off some people who liked the more cerebral elements of the original.
It has quite possibly the most ill thought out/ annoying level ever created at number 19… just to warn you…. it is passable… but it will annoy the feck out of you.
So – in summary. Worth a look for portal fans… but flawed.
Arghhh – watching youtube would ruin the game for me too. No matter how frustrating a level is you just have to work through it in your head… makes the accomplishment much better 🙂
When I say I didn’t like the ending…. it was the lame boss battle that annoyed me… I quite like the wee song that it finished with 🙂
Check out this BTW – aperture really exists as a company!
