I watched this last night. A very tense movie, which is beautifully shot, well written and has great performances in it.
Yeah, good advice @jackophant. Luckily, al my writing is already backed up on Google Drive 
Quote from Vayaobvs I mean if DOESNT boot
Yeah, poor choice of words, but you know what I mean 
Thanks @jackophant and @Vaya. I'll resort to testing the HD first.
Quote from jackophantThanks for the support guys. So far work have been pretty reasonable about the whole situation. It's not a huge surprise to me as work has become increasingly patchy and they're a small company, it's just massively frustrating given the timing.
But if anyone knows of someone looking for a guy who is capable with web technologies, graphic design and first/second line IT support (preferably around London) it would be greatly appreciated if you could point me their way

No problem. Try to stay positive.
Depending on your rate, hit me up with a PM if you want a freelance gig. I don't have the time to setup my website (we talked about that before) so maybe I can sponsor you some
Renamed this thread since that's what it evolved into anyway. Now, as for my problem:
I have a Sony Vaio PCG-91211M laptop. Yesterday it crashed and now it won't boot. It just says "OS not found". The bios doesn't show the harddisk so I already know the answer, but I'm hoping to avoid that. If I change the boot sequence so that it boots from te dvd drive, I can run any Windows setup. However, it won't continue because there's no harddisk found.
I have no recovery disk for this laptop (bought it from someone else a long time ago). The Assist option is therefor not working. I have yet to find a download location for that recovery disk. Most of them ask for a ridiculous amount of money. Now do you think it could be a faulty MBR or driver issue? If so, is that fixable through the recovery disk?
I'm currently waiting to borrow an external case for the laptop hdd so I can hook it up to my pc to see what it does there. But I'm pobably going to have to replace it and hope I can save my data.
Just in time for the anniversary too! I'm going to have a blast with this. I would love to pick your brains for a nice article @sock and the rest of the team!
Quote from marksYou can update me to Senior Technical Artist btw, still at CA.
Congrats and done!
Quote from jackophantGuess who's about to be made redundant when their house purchase is almost complete and is getting married in a couple of months?
If it's almost complete, you shouldn't have any trouble completing it (just don't tell them). Meaning you have a house where otherwise, if it works the same as here, you first have to get a permanent contract somewhere else in order to buy one again. Saves you years mate. So I would be glad the news didn't come sooner 
Marriages cost a shitload of money. Depending on the woman in question, they tend to get overboard. Now you have a perfect excuse to cutdown on things you otherwise could never have forced through. Meaning you can still marry the love of your life, for far less money and without getting any blame. I would call that a win-win situation!
See, it ain't all that bad!
They aren't really in a rush to patch this aren't they?
Quote from FMPONEThink they'd rather push Snap Map. When you don't give the community the same tools the devs used to me that's kind of console-y and insulting to the intelligence of the community.
Then again, I'm speculating that we will never get a real SDK. And Snap Map does look fun, but it's not going to be the genuine article the devs used and so it seems rather hand-holdy and middling for actual mods. More like the stuff Halo 3 used to have, fun for a few hours, at least.
You are great at parties aren't you Shawn?
Did you guys read the last part about the singleplayer campaign? Doubt is being destroyed, hope is being rebuild. Just announce a full SDK for the PC crowd and we've got a winner!
Well, I suppose that one could argue that the amount of micro-transactions are a bit overkill ain't it?

Quote from FuryoNot sure Deceiver (Jobye) still goes to Mapcore often, but he's no longer with Ubisoft Toronto, and will start soon at Warner Bros / Monolith in Kirkland, WA
His last login was 15 November and that's within the 1 year rule. Anyway, I've updated the list. Sorry to hear that @Psy. Hopefully I can put you up on the list again real soon.
I wonder what he's going to write on his resume regarding 2008 - 2016?
Old is the new gold!
Now that's a tagline!
@BJA, any news on the editor/SDK/possibilities of importing textures/models, etc?
Some new shots leaked. Apparently they listened to some of the feedback because the enemies look a lot closer to the originals:

PlayStation VR is cheaper and some hacker will probably make it run on a PC anyway
