Minecraft and Terraria are games we know will work on @Almost’s Macbook.

He will probably struggle with PS2.

CS:GO and B3 might be ok but I dont have BF3 installed.

Where it’s a Windows Phone, Android, iOS or Symbian. Show off your phone.
I want to see how you guys have set up and customised your launchers, home screens and icons.

I’ll go first.

Phone: HTC One (M7)
OS: Android 4.4.4
ROM: CyanogenMod 11.0

Home screen

App Drawer

My only issue with the way my phone is now is that some of the Icons are their default icons just in a circle shape. Other than that the phone is perfect for how i use it.

Now lets see yours!

That Jon Targaryen though

Meryn Trant is the person Arya kills
Dareon is not on the TV show, his death is replaced by Meryn Trant.

Maestor Aemon is dead yes but he dies at different times. TV show he dies at castle black? Book her dies in Bravos.

Mellisandre is the red woman with a pretty nice set of tits, i’m sure it is said in the TV show.

Berric Dondarion is the person The Hound fights in the cave while he is with Arya, they guy sets his sword on fire. The Hound kills him but is brought back to life by Thoros of Myr. This happens in the TV show and the books.

Azor Ahai is also mention in both, Stannis is supposed to be Azor Ahai reborn. Well according to Mellisandre but she is sketchy as fuck.

Jayne Pool might be in the TV show, she is one of Sansa’s friends when she is in Kings Landing.

I’m sure Mellisandre will bring back Jon Snow, I havent even got that far in the books yet but I have been told she is pretty close when he gets shanked. Berric Dondarion gets revived a lot and they both worship the same god. Seems like its leading up to an all new Jon Snow (Azor Ahai?)

Its kinda weird that Sansa gets married to Ramsay as in the book its someone who looks a bit like Arya, Tywin sends Jayne Poole to marry Ramsay. So they can sort of have a claim to Winterfell.

Plenty of time has passed now for people to have seen the recent episodes. I have not watched them personally but I am aware of the things that have happened. I am also currently catching up with the books.

Spoilers
How do you guys want to talk about this are show spoilers allowed? Are Book spoilers allowed?
I think that we should not mention anything that has happened in the books that has not happened yet in the show but i do think we should be able to discuss the differences between the TV show and the books.

That sound ok to you guys?

Arya
First thing that I noticed that was quite different was how Arya gets blinded. I’m only bring this up first as the chapter where she gets blinded was the last one I read.

I might mess some details up here as I have not actually seen the episode but read and heard what happened. Arya kills Meryn Trant instead of killing someone else that was supposed to. She gets blinded as punishment?

In the book Arya is working for some people at the docks selling cockles and mussels as part of her training to become a disciple to the many faced god. She was told to do this by the kindly old man (a priest from the house of black and white). While selling her produce in a brothel she spots someone from the knights watch, Dareon. Dareon came to bravos with Sam Tarly, Gilly and Maestor Aemon. Arya leaves the brothel with Dareon and she is pretty mad that he has dishonoured his vows and deserted and kills him. She takes his boots back to the kindly old man and says that she needs some boots. The man asks here where she got them from and she tells him that Arya killed a man for them, she thinks she is going to get punished but the kindly old man offers her some milk. She drinks the milk and then goes to bed. When she wakes up she is blind.

As you can see the book and tv show can vary quite a lot. I think from the last season the TV show is becoming another story in its own, heavily based off the books.

I have made some changes to the MC server. I have lowered the amount of ram being used as there are not many people playing on it. 1GB should be enough for just @Almost :P

My mates have asked me to try and run an Ark server, this needs like 5GB ram to work. I’m gonna try run that for a while and see how it runs. If it gets too much for the server then I will remove it and raise the Minecraft ram back up to about 3GB.

I’m.pretty sure its edited to make it look shit.

We are only really waiting on a shoutbox update and for me to update the theme. Once that’s done we’ll be on 0.7

Is that compatible with NodeBB 0.6 still? We have not upgraded yet.

Its also the way you hack the PSVita, by hacking the PSP sandbox thingy. It wont give you a fully hacked custom firmware on the Vita but it will allow you to run PSP homebrew.

Half-Byte Loader i think its called.

The only reason I would pick up a Vita would be for the Uncharted games. Same reason I would buy a PS4, for the next Uncharted.

Yellow light of death

I find that playing games on my phone quite difficult. I find that only a select few games work well with a touch screen.

I guess they could create a game phone bundle that comes with a pad or some type of game adaptor controller.

Nothing beats a pad or a mouse and keyboard for games. Touch screen just doesn’t cut it.

I dont know anyone who has a PSVita and I only knew a few people irl that had a PSP.
The only reason why i used mine so much was because of the hacking.

I think if OHG didn’t exist then I would have stopped using my PSP way before. It had a few good games at the start but after that it just died out. I’m surprised they even made the Vita.

I dont know if you know but most of us here came from a massive PSP gaming hacking website.

Stick it in the oven.

My original YLOD the other day so i threw it away.

@President_Choob I was coming off the M6 onto the M54. I was in the slow lane, Lorry was in the fast lane (M54 is dual carriageway). Lorry decided to come into my lane. Hit me on the drivers side door, spun me in front and pushed me down the road a bit. I then spun off the lorry and hit the central reservation and then bounced back into the hard shoulder.

The car put up a hell of a fight though.

@Jellyforme is getting his VW Gold today and I thought he may want to show it off a bit.
So here it is, BitBangers very own “Show us your pimped out whip” thread.

I’ll start.

First car was a 1.1 Peugeot 106. UK is terrible for insurance when you are young. Car was only worth £500 and i payed way over 1k to insure it. I havent even hit under £500 yet and I’ve been driving for nearly 7 years. But anyway, here’s what she looked like:

I dont really have any pictures of the “before i started pissing around” with the car. These pictures show some progress of my putting a 106 GTI body kit on the standard 106. Also shows my shitty rattle can paint jobs.

Second car was the GTI model of the Peugeot 106 which is a 1.6 engine. They are basically double the power of the 1.1 model, 60 BHP to around 120 BHP.

This is the first time I ever owned 2 cars, felt pretty good man.

Sadly the little babe got killed by a lorry in 2013 :cry:

I still consider buying another 106 GTI. They are not the fastest cars in the world and they me be French but they are still a hell of a lot of fun to drive. Induction kit, decat, pugsport exhaust and lowering it makes a hell of a lot of difference. Stuck to the roads like it was on rails.

3rd car i decided to go jap. First soft top convertible. 1.6 jap import MX5.

I didnt really mess around with this one too much, just put some cheap coilovers on it. Went pretty low.

This one had a leaky roof and was pissing me off. Then some guy reversed into it at work and the insurance company wrote it off (thankfully).

Next up is my Seat Leon Cupra R. 1.8 Turbo, 210 BHP

I have never owned anything this powerful before. I loved the first drive home in it. When the turbo kicks in and you get pushed back into your seat, best feeling in the world.

I wanted to start modifying the Leon but as i used it as my daily I couldnt really take it off the rode for long periods of time. Needed it for travelling with work. I decided to buy another MX5. It wont matter if its off the road for a few days as i wont need to drive it.

When bought the car it decided to break down as soon as i got it home. Alternator belt snapped. The guy i bought it off was nice enough to give me a belt and £20 just in case it was the wrong belt. Fixed it within an hour or two. Was really easy.

Wooden steering wheel yo!

First mod and only mod so far is a stainless steel exhaust. 2 hours to fit as it was a bit of a bitch, 25 year old nuts are not the best to take off.

ooooo Shiny.

That’s it for me currently.
