I have a GREAT MMO.

It's called life.
That's been interesting for the last month or so.
And I am using money that I can spend on real things instead of digital currency that doesn't do anything.


/that being said - still addicted to EVE

Not sure if making joke or just being a wanker lol, but in absolute seriousness the money I spent on my WoW subscription while I was hooked was SIGNIFICANTLY less than what I spend in place of that subscription...this might not make sense, but WoW filled that "consumer urge" hole that just about everyone inherently has, so without it I end up spending money on more useless shit to satisfy myself, which generally adds up to hundreds of dollars each month rather than $15 LOL

Ah if you like FPS try Planetside 2.

Huge Mmo FPS game where 3 different "factions" fight for territory in futuristic world.

Great to play with mates, think Battlefield but on a mega gigantic maps!

Con- Massive install like 8 gig through steam, and lots of updates for a newby player to download b4 being able to play.

Must have steam to play.

Pro's- Plenty of action, squad based fighting, Massive servers. Good ping for ausies.

Another big one if you love WOW is DOTA2

Only been playing a few months and totally addicted.

Free to play through steam :) get 4 mates together and you have a team. Heaps of heros to choose and learn how to play.

Hours and hours of fun. Each game takes about an hour. Plenty of fun.

Had the game abut a month and a half already have about 50 hours of gameplay :)

Yep, as soon as my new laptop turns up (hopefully tomorrow), I'll be getting my hands on Planetside 2 immediately!

Planetside 2 is AWESOME.

Nah, I play games to prevent me going shopping with the girlfriend, and going out and spending money uselessly.

Gotta save for my nugget in the garage,

"Spending money uselessly" and "girlfriend" in the same sentence...you my friend are wise as f**k ;)

The download size was putting me off planetside 2. But now that Im with internode and can download through steam, un-metered usage here we come!

I've got a 600GB/month limit. Not too concerned about a measly game :P

I'm not sure who we're with, I think it's Internode. No latency problems that I've noticed, no bandwidth problems during peak...can't complain. We do manage to cap ourselves for the last day every month though LOL

Recently got an email from Rift saying it was free to play. Tried for a bit, was okay, but does not compete with WoW.

Quit WoW for a half a year now, hopefully for good this time lol. Wasted way too much time on that game, especially being in a hardcore raiding guild... 16 hours attemping a boss fight which we eventually downed :( (Sinestra for those that know, bare in mind it was done a week after firelands release).

Enjoying a new game called real life at the moment LOL.

Hahahaha.

I know how you feel about the WoW quitting mate, its harder than it sounds.

Ive had my phases too.

I was completely, purely and utterly addicted during BC, and I am so happy I was as it was an amazingly rewarding game back then. I raided weekly and enjoyed alot of evil world pvp and imo it was the funnest days of WoW. Nothing quite like doing kara once a week with my guildies. I am in the same guild to this day.

I was hacked days after I dinged 80 in WotLK and got the shits and quit until weeks before Cata came out.

Came back to Cata and played it semi-casually but had given up on raiding and series pve in general and began life as a pvp-er.

Semi-casual pvp throughout cata, and quit for a few months but my friend bet me $100 that I could have a lvl 85 of each class in 365 days... so I began again. I could have easily done this in a month or two if I no-lifed but real life got the hold on me and I failed at this bet hahahahah, I managed to get an 85 rogue, druid, DK, shaman and hunter, the others were all 58ish on the final day in Hellfire.

Currently playing on a very casual basis, I only do battlegrounds these days as arenas really bring out an anger in me that i dont really like lol. I think of it as 50cents per day, even if im not playing Its such a tiny amount I dont care lol. I go on once or so a week and do some BGs with my friends, but thats about it.

WoW isnt what it used to be, but Its impossible to quit...

Theres my wow life story as Ive had way to much caffeine and its 4am and cannot sleep :P

Couldn't agree more with you about BC being the best expansion. Everything from the gameplay to the gear/content design puts the other expansion to shame.

IMO WoTLK was where it went downhill :(..

Gear started looking plain and DK's ruined pvp lol. Never really raided properly until Cata so I don't have an opinion about the PVE side of things.

I was basically doing what you were before I quit, casually PVP'd and talk shit in guild and with friends (Yes I have friends :P)

Would actually consider playing again if there was a server set up just for BC.

Stopped playing Planetside 2 early August and only just noticed that theyd been taking my money at the end of every month. bastards. I usually pickup on those default tickboxes with automatic subscriptions, but I think this one is automatic through their Terms & Conditions. f**king dream boats.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
