Never thought I'd care about Hockey, but there were a few fist pumps when GB Women just won Gold! Yaaaasss! :D

We're good at sports that involve sitting down, cycling, rowing, equestrian, sailing etc :lol:

As I said before, and as hhgb said, the GTX 750 Ti is your best bet. If you spend a little more, you could get a GTX 950.

Team GB smashing it in the cycling! Woop woop! :D

The death of Flash is gonna kill Tanki long before the other things mentioned here will... Flash will be gone within the next couple of years.

Still me. Though no-one has been told to do that for a while.

Still me, it's deep inside the prison in Hamster HQ.

Congrats Night! A very worthy replacement! :) Long live the 3vilness!

I'll happily tickle everyone who posted here. :lol:

Yes Yes - we knew before what protections someone had by the pattern, so this changes nothing. (Though you do have to press 'R' and look, as opposed to instantly knowing. No - as above, its like before. Not enjoying 40 new things I could buy that cost 250k, that's 10 million crystals. Some offset by all the legacy protections I have though. Also means you can have whatever combo of protections you want, in some ways that's great, in others its not, before you had to make do with what was there, and that element of the game has been taken away. Liking that I can use Microchip with protections now, special paints can actually be used in proper battles.

Of course, world domination plans are still in full swing!

If I get time, I'll probs be back to Tanki, though I may decide to do something different.

Hey guys, I'm stepping down from my role as Newspaper Admin, unfortunately I no longer have the time to do the job. It's been an amazing 4 years with the newspaper, and I've worked with some incredible people, who have worked so hard. And thank you to all the readers, whom without, the paper would be a bit pointless. I'll be still around a bit doing Twitter stuff, hence the shiny new avie. Gonna miss this, but life happens sometimes and that can be exciting! "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" ~ Dr. Seuss

Never used Blender, but Premiere will easily run on a gaming rig...

In which case, go for that one, IDK that much about power supplies. I don't actually have one yet, I haven't decided how insane I want to go, it also depends on if I get a drone first or not. That is true, would have gone with a 1070, but it would have gone over budget. I'm guessing that's gonna be a bit overpriced for what you got, knowing Alienware.. (Not as much as a Macbook though :lol: )

You won't be able to get an insane PC for €1200, but you can get a very good one. Below is a rough suggestion of a build you can do for about €1200: http://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/KDtJ8K Done a lot of research lately, wanting to build a desktop for video editing myself, so I like to think I kinda know what I'm talking about. Those that seriously game will know more obvs, I care more about video editing.

Picture 1: 1st Place, winning 25000 crystals: @That_One_Patrick A peaceful sea of azure blue caught the battle scarred warrior's attention. Here, beyond the reach of the nightmare of the battlefield, the shriek of shells and the groans of the wounded, amid golden sands upon which silver crested waves danced, he stopped. The sun's gentle rays played along his nano paint, touching softly upon the gold plating of his turret. The gentle lapping of the water against the sand slowly soothed his troubled mind, and the rhythmic *swish* *swish* of the waves mirrored the idling sound of his engines. Here, he would at last find peace. 2nd Place, winning 20000 crystals: Here I have become, here I'll disappear. Here I saw a celestial infinity. Endless ocean is at front of me. This place, it is me, it's my life and my love, my past and my future. This is my cradle and my tomb, my beginning and my end. I know each elevation at this sight, I know every scent from the open sea which brings me peace. It's all mine, like my own body. Blue open sea in front of me and silky sky above my head with memories of my childhood. Therefore I can say: My soul is serene. 3rd Place, winning 15000 crystals: The lone Thunder waits, patiently, as he hopes to see his beloved return. She built herself a boat and departed to a far away country - Russia. She said she would return. Now, every single day, the Thunder waits in anticipation to see if his beloved wife would return to him. Hope isn't lost for him, nor will it ever be. He feels the softness of the sand on his wheels. He can taste the salt from the sea. He can hear the seagulls chirping away. It seems like he's the only one alone. Picture 2: 1st Place, winning 25000 crystals: I tried getting a nice beachside hotel in Rio, but there were these annoying kids playing around! One kid, Georgia was running around pretending to be a vampire, while some guy who called himself the “Super Sailer” was throwing pins and needles at random people – it was chaos! A few people tried to calm the place down (I vividly remember this old smoker who went by the name of “Karimmimo”), but somehow it just ended up as one giant mess of a fight all over the beachside! A small fire even erupted, so we had to evacuate! Worst vacation ever. 2nd Place, winning 20000 crystals: @Blackdrakon30 Vulcan Notes, Logdate 18.91.43: My proposal to Zeus went over well; he sent my new product down among the mortals a few days after my proposal. Obviously he added in a paint that the mortals gave his own name, most likely to counteract my turret being included. Recently I witnessed hornets and wasps swarming around a heap of crystals, attempting to take as much as possible. A Hunter was shooting at them, presumably to kill for sustenance. Perhaps the crystals are currency, although observations point towards the crystals being used for construction. Mortals are such fascinatingly puzzling creatures! 3rd Place, winning 15000 crystals: This is me, and this is what I do. I watch over my dear tankers, looking over them, taking care of them. Every once in a while I get up here; on top of the skyscraper. I watch everyone, the Reds, the Blues. I even watch the chat. But, I am silent, closely observing everyone. Every once in a while, my mind gets lost into the dazzling beauty of this place. Then I hear the words: 'Gold bil admin pls'. My mind comes back to life. This is me, this is my story. I'm here, in Rio. I'm an admin. Prizes will be awarded on Monday 4th July. Thanks for you participation again, and congrats to the winners!

That's correct, I will consider the latest entry, thus each account has one entry.

Let's just say the camera isn't attached to the tank :ph34r:

I thought it was well shot as always, but felt like Chris Evans was trying way too hard, he was awful, and no Jeremy. Matt LeBlanc was great I thought, really nice presenting style, and welcome relief from Chris Evans. The trio made it what it was, but I'm interested to see where it goes and if they can capture some of that old magic. The guy presenting Extra Gear, Rory, was also good, get him on the main show with Matt LeBlanc! The other guy, Chris Harris, was way too serious and boring though, and didn't seem to get jokes... Matt + Rory could have a chance to make a decent show, The Chris's need to go though.

As long as a caption... Though if your entry could qualify for 'Describe This in 100 Words', it's probs a bit long! (And you're a bit late :P ) Correct, but doing it meme style to show your entry here is fine. Nope, one entry per account. You can enter on an alt if you want, but you can't transfer the prize to your other account(s).

That's the beauty of it ;)
