Just listened to it again, it's just that good (Y)

Oh and Larry, "Yeah, no one's home", had me in stitches :rofl:

LOL I barely remember even saying that, although I am sure I did because it is how I feel. (Y)

And in regards to PC games, without a doubt they will also get reviewed of course, but the big issue is just like Jonny I am not an RTS or RPG player, so that right there wipes out most new PC releases and me playing them. I mean of course any other genre will get covered, but that is a pretty large part of the the PC scene right now. Really all you would be getting from he is if they looked good and how many frames per second they ran, not if they were actually a good game or not as I would not really know (well I would know a little, I am downplaying it a bit,) so just saying not my field of "expertise" whatsoever.

So that is something for sure interesting and what we need to keep in mind for the third anchor... PC experience with genres we both don't like. :laugh:

And again, thanks for all of the comments, seriously beyond much appreciated.

Aww, a shame - I would love to hear some opinions on those games, hopefully you'll do ArmA 2 once it's released, 'else I might have to find my pitchfork and farmers hat :laugh: Hopefully the third addition to the team will cover those bases then! On another note, how's the next show coming along, still in the planning phase or can we expect something before / by the end of the weekend?

We're hoping to record a show early next week. Larry is having some issues with his iMac right now and I haven't had much chance to game this past week, hopefully that'll change real soon! But yes, a new show is in the planning stages.

As you mentioned, we are looking to fill the third seat and maybe even have the occasional guest member on the show. As I've said previously, we have a lot of plans for both the podcast and the gamers section in general but things will just take a little time. So please bear with us as this isn't (unfortunately) our full time job.

In other news, we are now on iTunes (link opens iTunes). So please subscribe and spread the word if you haven't already done so :)

Only pint I was drinking was water in case my throat dried up with nerves :p

I'm fine talking with both the guys cause we talk on XBL a lot already, but being recorded is weird.

So you were drinking shots?

Also if being recorded is weird I don't think you can have my babies anymore.

Looking forward to hearing it Munky!

Will sound natural to me, I'm surrounded by the Scots :wub:

Although it will be slightly jarring at first just like it always is when you have an American/British accent crossover :p

DL is usually all chilled and relaxed, us British (Scots especially) tend to speak much faster or use a lot of slang no one understands. You better have represented the Scottish dialect!

Like aye man totally man, yer maw said naw :rofl:

He better not have overdone it with the Scottish accent. Some of us non-native speakers would love to get a grasp of what he's saying.

(Yes, I've spoken to native Scots before. Yes, I had a hard time understanding them.)

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
