Here all the news we didn’t post today because we were too busy wondering if we’re successful enough to be hated.

            Shame AMD is playing Ketchup with Nvidia since they’re only entering the 300x age

            Shame think they need to skip quite a few turns

            When I hear people say they know people say they know people that are going overseas to play I immediately ask them if they’re associated with them and let out a great sound of relief then they say no..or is it a sound and a smell?

        Nah 4GB is out of fashion, 3.5Gb’s is where it’s at :p also it’s better than a 960, damn that card is a letdown

        I am currently in a bit of a sticky situation my 500GB is currently red lining and my 1TB is also, just need enough space till GTA V’s release and the next payday

          Dude, I lost a 1TB and a 1.5TB in one week.

          I’m sitting with a 500gb hybrid as my main drive and 3x 500gb as my “space”
          I need money 🙁

            If that’s the case It makes me losing a 32GB flash on the 1st day of Matric 2 years ago seem like nothing

            Packed up. And just out of warranty. Stay away from WD green. They are meant for backups, not continuous use.

          • Corrie

            February 18, 2015 at 16:50

            Eish that’s really bad, I do like my WD’s though, don’t know why, yet same on how I prefer MSI

            Still though I feel like a hoarder with my 500GB filed with Steam installed games and also my external 1TB mostly filled with Steam backups, seriously annoying when I want to delete something and I just can’t go through with it.. I’m like a digital hoarder

            That’s what having to many games does to you

            I have more game’s than what both the PS4 and Xbox One have combined.

      It is the bane.

      But, I tend to work as thus. Arrive at work just before 8. Meetings, meetings, project progress and stuff. Leave just after five. Setup laptop at home in TV room on table. Wait for wife and baby to hit the hay. Work a bit. sometimes a lot. Play some games. I find that a much better use of my time, to leave work at 17:00 (well, still here now) and then carry on working later on.

      Oh, and my meetings are strictly regimented. Agenda, purpose, get out.

        If I need to put in a few extra hours I’ll rather get up earlier in the morning, that way I get my whole evening undisturbed. Also comes with the added bonus of there being very little traffic at 4am.

          Never been a morning person. Also, I try not work like this all the time. Trick is, I must pay attention at the office to a variety of things.
