@sorvall_sergal Unfortunately a dual-core Socket 939 would cost about £150 second hand. in reply to sorvall_sergal 00:10:32, 2011-04-20
Graphics driver are all up to date, monitor drivers too. Can't see any motherboard drivers to update. Tweaks will be in game settings. 00:11:27, 2011-04-20
Download at 55%. Will need to defrag the drive with Norton Utils when done, then defrag the game files with GCFScape. 00:13:18, 2011-04-20
Basically I'm not going to be playing Portal 2 tonight. 00:14:40, 2011-04-20
@SB_help Increased amount of tools and working from home. Lowest renewal quote three times that of the house insurance. in reply to SB_help 00:34:29, 2011-04-20
BBQ flavour meal worms taste a lot like day-old crisps. Or the undercooked kernals from the bottom of popcorn. 00:35:43, 2011-04-20
This insect-eating thing has yet to impress me. The choc-covered ants were like finding an apple stalk in a small chocolate. 00:36:35, 2011-04-20
@jackalesque True! I can think of a few people and/or things. in reply to jackalesque 01:06:03, 2011-04-20
@CheyenneWright Goddammit, now I can only think of a lonesome K9 sitting there plaintively calling "Mistress…?" ;_; in reply to CheyenneWright 01:07:02, 2011-04-20
Portal 2's all downloaded. Now to defrag it. 01:17:38, 2011-04-20
Right, shutting down unessential systems for a test run… 01:26:08, 2011-04-20
Okay, so not only does Portal 2 work pretty well on my machine at full 1600×1200, I have no self control & my "quick test" lasted 4.5hours. 05:29:14, 2011-04-20
Probably not much point sleeping at this stage. Plus the first trains have started running. 05:30:13, 2011-04-20
The game is a LOT more complex and convoluted than I expected. The tests seem a lot easier, but there's a lot more going on. 05:31:26, 2011-04-20
@NixiePixel Wowsers~ And maybe could cover a bicycle with EL-tape? in reply to NixiePixel 05:43:39, 2011-04-20
@bobbyllew UK awake here, thanks to addictive computer game Portal 2. in reply to bobbyllew 05:44:23, 2011-04-20
Completed Portal 2! Gotta say I didn't see that ending coming. o_o 10:47:30, 2011-04-20
A shower, then breakfast. Should have bought some bacon. 11:05:38, 2011-04-20
Also, I *knew* I spotted a tubby Turret in the elevator at the end of "Bridge over troubled water".. 11:26:06, 2011-04-20
Oh, after all my worries about my 2.2Ghz CPU, the ONLY thing it choked on was the high-rez pre-rendered ending video. #Portal2 11:43:08, 2011-04-20
@TimWakeham I managed it in 8.5hours, apparently. But I didn't get stuck in many places. in reply to TimWakeham 12:13:03, 2011-04-20
@TimWakeham I can't stop reading/playing a compelling storyline. in reply to TimWakeham 14:28:33, 2011-04-20
@SB_help I may do at some point. ATM I'm taking some downtime to see if it's still viable at all. in reply to SB_help 14:32:00, 2011-04-20
@JezzKitty Good luck Jezz! in reply to JezzKitty 14:37:00, 2011-04-20
Mums computer is all set up asside from the USB record and tape decks. Can't get any audio recording from them or the sound mixer. 20:12:58, 2011-04-20
Have found the character voiceover files for Portal 2. Listening to them, fairly sure Charlie Sheen had some input on scripts. #Portal2 20:57:24, 2011-04-20
Portal 1: 14 music files. Portal 2: 232 music files. 21:42:18, 2011-04-20
Also, countdown to someone using "Want You Gone" to break up with someone? 21:43:31, 2011-04-20
I liked a @YouTube video http://youtu.be/YiS1p45Z9NA?a Painkiller – Zero Punctuation 22:37:33, 2011-04-20
I would like to chat with someone, but I've run out of things to say. 23:07:30, 2011-04-20
@Mish_Monster Omnom! :3 in reply to Mish_Monster 23:15:27, 2011-04-20
@EccentricWander Load "pak01_dir.vpk" in GCFScape, look in the "sound" directory. in reply to EccentricWander 23:18:04, 2011-04-20
I liked a @YouTube video http://youtu.be/unHYQIde4k8?a Portal 2 Secret: Turret Song! 23:34:25, 2011-04-20
Look for file "sp_a2_laser_vs_turret_r1.wav" in the pak01_dir.vpk file(@YouTube http://youtu.be/unHYQIde4k8?a) 23:41:18, 2011-04-20
