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.

    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By excalpius · Posted

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.

      "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
