Yes, the clock now keeps the correct time, and I managed to get my BIOS settings back to how they should be by a bit of Googling.

Finally fitted a new CMOS battery yay! Left it too late though, and had already lost my settings. Have got them back to how they should be though I think. Will know next time that it starts with the...

Thanks for that! It's more awkward than I originally thought to change such a simple thing like a CMOS battery - it is under the graphics card. Doh! I'll give it go though, as I don't want my BIOS...

Bought a new CMOS battery today, and going try that - I assume I won't lose my BIOS settings??? Will check my timezone first, but seems strange as only in the last week has it started it doing it,...

Yes, I turn it off at the mains.



Yep, this is the server my PC gets the time from. Maybe I should just try one of the others that are listed?

The clock on my PC (yep, bottom right-hand corner) has very recently started to show the incorrect date and time. For example, earlier today when I booted it up, the clock showed something like...

I started gaming on PC in 2001 and one of my absolute favourite games of that time was the original Dungeon Siege. Is Torchlight anything like DS? I just found it so addictive.

Very similar to the PC Gamer site (obviously, I guess, considering who is behind the scenes). I think that most sites like this could do with a "Contents" as the first page, similar to what you get...

I hope alot more people do too, including the RPS team themselves.



Have the very best quotes at the end of the articles?...there's an idea.

Up until a couple of years ago I'd have definitely said disc, but as mentioned on this thread already, manuals have become just a sheet of paper, so I only tend to buy the biggest releases like...

Thanks for the reply thegooseking. I had never considered the EU/US compatibility, so I will look at that. The site I saw them on was Cheat Happens, not sure if it's UK or US to be honest. The...

I'm not that great at videogames, so I admit to sometimes resorting to a God Mode cheat or similar. More games now though don't seem to have them, but some do have "Trainers" available from cheat...

I realise this goes a bit against what RPS is about - moving on from print magazines - but would it be possible for a Best Of RPS magazine/bookazine to be published? There must be hundreds of...

My music taste is fairly mainstream as the following will show:

Level 42 - Any of their albums (just can't decide).
Queen - Innuendo (Has a bit of everything from out and out rock tracks to...

Go for Crysis 2. You like the game already, and want to see what happens, so that would be my choice. Second choice would be Deus Ex:HR.

I didn't get very far at all in GTA: Vice City. I had to complete the mission where you fly a RC helicopter through a building and plant bombs (I think) but I just couldn't get the hang of it and...

Wow! Thanks for all the advice. Going to persevere with TF2 but also see what else is about (like Killing Floor - thanks Mistabashi), and already what is said online/in mags, about multiplayer games...

Just played the Dustbowl tutorial game. Great game, and I can see why people enjoy it...but all a bit quick and frantic for me. We won the map, but I can see I've got alot of practising to do before...

Thanks for info. Gonna try medic class first. Here goes...

After chatting to a colleague about games, I've decided to give multiplayer a try. I'm a bit apprehensive so any advice would be welcome. I thought Team Fortress 2 would be a good starting point. In...

Just to let everyone know, Game.co.uk now have stock of the Skyrim guide again! Yay!

Yeah, I guess with the HL2 world it wouldn't really work. To me HL2 doesn't feel dated because I enjoy it so much (Episode 2 especially), but I understand that other types of gameplay have taken...

If I remember correctly, the original Half Life was followed by a game which told the story from the viewpoint of Barney. I was wondering why, especially after Episode 2 came out, Valve didn't get...

I started gaming in '86 with an Atari 8-Bit, then went to Atari ST in '89, Amiga in '90, PlayStation in '97, Dreamcast in 2000. I bought a PC in 2000 to replace my Amiga which I had still been using...

Fair enough comments and questions so: The guides usually have some useful info that I sometimes don't come across and I just prefer having a book rather than alt-tabbing in/out of the game. I also...
