London is shit. Don't bother

Not quite what I was expecting

I love British culture. I grew up with British television (The Young Ones, The New Statesman, Are you being Served, Blackadder) and I had a lot of British friends growing up (we had a camping site near where I lived, I always there in summer). When I got older I used to work with a lot of Brits during the summer. I would teach them Dutch and they would teach me English. Which was awesome because I could speak it fluently by the time I was 13. So it's just a real shame I never went to visit England (went once to Southall for day, which doesn't really count). Blasphemy really. I want to correct that by visiting London after this summer (as a start).

So why am I posting this here and boring you with my history? Simple, I'm looking for things to do in London. Sure, there are the main tourist attractions but I want the inside information. From the people living and working there. Anything really. Places to visit, things to see, good and cheap hotels, great pubs, tips, tricks, experiences, etc. Just go wild and share you guys. I would appreciate it.

I was really thinking of buy one of the Occulus SDK kits but all the sudden there's 4 vr helmets coming to market we know of. Now I'm not sure what to do.

I'm going to this game developer thing Tuesday. I'm hoping they'll be demoing something there so I can get a firsthand look.

Will you let us know how it was?

Alright, removed my gfx card earlier today and to my surprise the computer has been running fine all day

Just requested an RMA with Gigabyte, hopefully it's just the gfx card!

Thanks!!

That will be 49,99 please. No man, you're welcome. I'm glad it worked out!

Yes, this could be a several things. Defective components, PSU, heat (even if you checked), etc. So the only advice I can give for now is this:

Open your case, unplug everything you don't need. You have multiple drives, disconnect them (only leave your boot disk connected). Disconnect your DVD/BR drive. If you have onboard video, remove your GPU. You get the point. Just leave the bare minimum so you can start normally and browse and stuff. If the problem is still there than you know you where to look (mobo, CPU, memory, PSU or boot disk). Which is still pretty broad, I know.

The point is, that hopefully the problem stopped. Which means you can start connecting stuff again (one thing at a time) until you know what caused it. That's what we always did at tech support. It's very unlikely that it's a CPU or memory issue. If those options remain it's either the mobo or PSU.

Also, sorry, but customer support does this to a man, make sure your Windows (assuming you're using this) Power plan is set correct

Ok, resistance is futile at this point. I've jumped on the hype band wagon. I swear Pogo and Marks, if you disappoint us I'm going to sink that island.

Luckily we can watch his old videos back

Thanks guys and I love those gifs!

We've got tickets for this Friday afternoon in Imax. Yeah baby!

Quote from Vilham

Shawn, how the fuck do you find the time for all this?

If I'm free from work and check Steam in the morning, Shawn is there.

When I'm home early in the afternoon and check Steam, Shawn is there.

On game evenings, when I check Steam, Shawn is there.

Sometimes I can't sleep at night so I check Steam, Shawn is there.

I'm expecting great things from this. Gonna buy the Occulus as soon as it comes out. Unless the others convince me that they are better. Regardless, I'm all in on VR.

Me = the security guard in front.

This thread = the two guys in the background.

Thanks guys! Feeling the love

I got a message from my colleague, who I consider the best candidate, he got turned down.

Still can't believe he got turned down.

I was like this for minutes:

Then more messages came in. The 4 that ruined it for us (and are the cause of our predicament) are all turned down.

There is still justice in the world. I'm very content right now. So to them that fucked us:

But more good ones got rejected as well. Which made me worry even more. Because if even the best got turned down, what does that mean for me?

So my call came and I totally knew what to expect right from the start. It went like this:

Because guess what? I'm the only one, out of 9, that made it to the next round.

Don't know what the next round will mean without immediate competition, but this Tuesday I have to go to our main office and meet with the Big Boss.

But seeing justice done and being the only one selected is a huge compliment so for now guys:

Invest in what, stocks? Shit is like gambling.

That reminds me I need to set up my 401k. Fuck getting old sucks... I'm about to turn 29 in a couple months, sigh.

Lol @ kids complaining that there still in their twenties. Come talk to me when you hit 30. Now that's some depressive shit right there.

Oeh, a signed copy would be awesome!
