Well we were told we could discuss leaked games, just not how/where they are obtained.

Ok well I will clarify, don't post screenshots, even if they are not yours to torrent applications with torrent filenames and IP addresses in them. Discussion is fine :)

Posting a link to another site with an article or image is fine, lets just not help to promote it on here by showing filenames, and tracker info please.

Moving on from horse porn. :rofl:

Do we know any of the prices for the Supermarkets yet?

Me and friends have put down pre-orders in Asda since we had a hoot of a time buying MW2 last year, by 12 the queue was from one end of the shop to the other, and then into the freezer section, lol.

For MW2 release i was on night shifts that week, me and a mate went over to Asda got there 10 to midnight and had queues one end to the other... back again down the next aisle and then halfway back towards the door again. I highly suspect they will do the same again, will see if i can pull up some info from old Morrisons colleagues ;)

That Gun Game footage looks pretty good! It's not something I would play all the time, but it would be a riot to play every now and then. I want to see some One in the Chamber footage though. Curious to see how that plays out in an actual situation.

I'm contemplating pre-ordering this one from Best Buy. In Canada, they're giving $10 worth of Reward Zone points if you pre-order this. I know I'm going to use those points sooner or later, since I shop at Best Buy all the time (for better or worse), so it's tempting...

It does look good, it's an extremely popular game-mode - I remember a ton of servers back in the CS days were Gun Game servers. But yeah, wager matches aren't something people will be playing all the time. I think it's meant as a pace changer between the core modes and it'll be perfect. Just hope there's some way of increasing the odds friends will be put against each other in wager matches, just know there won't be a party mode per say as that would leave the game open for massive boosting.

What really impresses me is the sounds. Finally they decided to spend some time implementing proper sounds with some punch, sick of those old tinny, weak sounds.

Haven't been this hyped about a game in a very long time, looks like it's what MW2 should have been (Y)

I think that's the right way to look at it. I can see myself playing wager matches when I have ten minutes to spare here and there, or if I get bored/frustrated with the core modes. Even as a diversion though, it seems like it's decently varied. One in the Chamber and Gun Game should both be quite fun. I'll have to see some footage of Sticks and Stones and Sharpshooter before I can make an assessment on those. Sticks and Stones will either be fun or infuriating depending on how good people get with the Tomahawk.

Kinda funny though, I was a hardcore CS:S player back in its heyday (2004-2006 mostly) and I have never played Gun Game before. I must have been hanging out with the wrong people.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
