    Warhammer 40k 8th Edition Announced - What could possibly go wrong?!

    I haven't played Warhammer 40k since I left school, and that was over 8 years ago now. Reason being because they keep changing everything and making people spend more money to keep up with it. There have been times I've considered getting back into the hobby, but the cost is always the deciding...

    Is this relationship common/fine?

    As long as you're not doing anything that would be considered illegal, I don't see a problem with it. I'm in the UK so our age of consent is 16, but I normally put a limit on myself of 18 since I'm in my mid-twenties and really anything younger would be borderline weird. However, my last...

    Escapism UK - Manchester2k17

    Quick update for everyone - I've had the email from the group booking people confirming the final price of the hostel, and as it's two 8-bed rooms we have one more space going. If anyone is interested who hasn't already confirmed attendance, or if any of you know someone outside the group who...

    Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Dated

    Save and checkpoint systems? I'm sold. And I don't even have a PS4 (yet...). Seriously, the one thing that I hated about the series originally (which was otherwise a staple of my childhood) was that the first game didn't have a proper save system unless you beat the bonus levels, which were...

    Books!

    I have a fairly big list of books I'm still getting through, yet still insist on buying more over time. It took me a long time to get through House of Leaves (which is a very strange book but one I massively recommend) which pushed my reading plans back quite a way. Right now, my list consists...

    Escapism UK Needs You

    Just so people know, it's not limited to UK attendees either - we've had a number of people join us over the years from the Netherlands, one from the USA, and the Emerald Isle itself, and even the distant wilds of Scotland! Although we did have to teach the Scottish attendees basic manners and...

    Poll: What makes you (or a famous person real or fictional) S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

    S - 5 P - 6 E - 4 C - 7 I - 9 A - 6 L - 3 Basing it off Fallout 1, so a total of 40. I'd say intelligence is easily my best stat although the others are climbing up a bit with time spent rock climbing and so on. Average comes to 5 and 5/7.

    Can't connect with girls in person

    Not sure if I'm the best person to give advice on this sort of level, but I did kind of have that for years, and it's starting to disappear now that I'm becoming more social. I use online dating as well, and there's nothing wrong with that, but I see your point about wanting to meet people...

    Slowing down - Why we don't post like we used to...

    The forums just don't seem the same as they used to. Plus a lot of the content I used to enjoy has gone, either naturally ended or been cancelled, so there's less draw for me to come to the site. A lot of the people I know through here as well, I tend to keep in touch with either in person or by...

    HDMI cable - optical audio cable

    Thanks all for the help :). Turns out it was a really simple solution that I overlooked and then spotted, scholboy error really. The port on my TV isn't an optical input, it's for a 3.5mm jack. Fortunately I had one of those cables spare, and just bought an optical to analogue adapter - plugged...

    HDMI cable - optical audio cable

    Yeah, I did try that and it comes up with loads of options for the sound output (Dolby Digital, PCM, etc.) - no matter which combination of options I tick though, including nothing at all (there are two default ones I can't untick at all), it doesn't seem to work.

    HDMI cable - optical audio cable

    So, with the Black Friday sales coming up, I'm looking to buy an Xbox One and finally upgrade (yes, I know I'm late to the party), but as we're all aware the XBone uses HDMI for its A/V output. Unfortuntely, I don't have a HDMI-capable TV. What I do have though, is a DVI-D capable TV, which also...
