The Gamers Corner
The 360 is looking more appealing everyday - and I can use the excuse of buying it for my sons birthday so mrs buksi doesnt freak ... he'll be 3 on monday!

I'll look out for that though I imagine the ones in Thailand are the old models, they're usually at least six months behind the rest of the world when it comes to latest hardware.

Re: The PC gamers thread
A long long long shot but reviving this ancient topic to ask if anyone is playing 'Elite: Dangerous' in Thailand yet?

Have fond memories 25 years ago of flying over to Reidquat in an upgraded Asp and blasting the hell out of everything that moves!

It is an old topic! What happened to BaaBaa? sorry off topic
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.

Re: The PC gamers thread
I just watched the trailer for the game and it looked bloody awesome. I then saw another trailer for it, using the original trailer mixed with ACTUAL game footage. Watch this... the subtitles had me laughing mid way through. :-)buksida wrote:A long long long shot but reviving this ancient topic to ask if anyone is playing 'Elite: Dangerous' in Thailand yet?

Mods... forgotten how to make the video work. Please assist.

Ha, yeah quite amusing - reckon they had a bit of 'artistic license' with that trailer!

I also still play solitaire - most of these games help to keep your brain active!

Re: Buying a new laptop
I too play solitaire but it isn't much a brain challenge. Chess, Go & learning a language would be a brain challenge as would trying to understand and navigate Thai immigration rules.Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 7:23 am I also still play solitaire - most of these games help to keep your brain active!

Re: Buying a new laptop
Well of course it depends on whether you just click the button, or try harder to outwit the programmer - using your memory and predicting skills, although of course there are other “games” that are more challenging!!

Maybe the mods can move this to a separate thread, but who developed the games in the first place - programmers!!handdrummer wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 9:40 amI don't understand what you mean by, "outwit the programmer."Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 8:47 amWell of course it depends on whether you just click the button, or try harder to outwit the programmer - using your memory and predicting skills, although of course there are other “games” that are more challenging!!

Re: The Gamers Corner
I've moved the gaming chat to our redundant gamers thread - hopefully it'll get some action but we'd have to move on from the likes of Windows solitaire and minesweeper!

Re: Buying a new laptop
I realize that programmers developed the games. I don't understand how one can outwit the programmers when playing solitaire or why one would want to. For what purpose. Maybe it's because I don't understand the digital universe. I miss my steam-driven computer and wind-up telephone.Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 9:45 amMaybe the mods can move this to a separate thread, but who developed the games in the first place - programmers!!handdrummer wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 9:40 amI don't understand what you mean by, "outwit the programmer."Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 8:47 am
