  1. I purchased my PC last year and it comes with a full extended year protection. I never really believed in warranties for electrical purchases until now. I purchased my Laptop from Currys PC World in September, in 2018.

    The employee said the damaged wasn't caused by liquid alternatively it was because of typing excessively which caused a fault in the keyboard? There is an option to renew it for another 3 years for £15.00 a month when it expires. I'm considering of renewal as I need it for my self employed free lance work. The repair would cost me £160.00 + Labour and parts so it's probably worth thinking about.

    What's your view on warranties, do you have one and have you ever had to use it?

    At home in the living room and a console..

     

    What do you use for a chair ?

    Good question. I have attached a picture of my Gaming Chair so you can visually get a better understanding. The chair itself is extremely cosy and at any time I can lean back and relax when taking a break. Looking back, I would rather purchased an white cushion instead of yellow/beige but it's very comfortable so I can't moan! What about yourself?

  3. Don't mean to moan at you here however you get your prioritises set. Constantly being late for work could result in disciplinary action be taken against you or even worse, getting fired. Are you asking us how much time we spend gaming averagely on a daily basis? As I've been growing up, I found there are a growing number of responsibilities and commitments such as Work and Paying Bills to avoid debt. It really depends on a variety of factors including how much money I have left over at the end of the month when I get paid, if any. More importantly, the time remaining after I have finish my shift at work which is vey minimal so in answer to your question everyday I'll be lucky to fit in 1 hour of one of my favourite hobbies, Gaming.  

     

  4. In what room in your apartment or your parents house do you have your set up situated at? What does your setup consist of? Mine is a PC Build and it's located in my bedroom in the apartment I live in. It's a quiet, peaceful space where I can have time to myself or with friends Gaming. As my PC is a Laptop, the majority of my gaming is done in my room as mentioned.  Although, occasionally I'll go round my friends to play a few computer games. Portability is great positive for Laptop Gamers. 

  5. Just out of interest, when is the next member of the month - vote of? How many points will be awarded for winning the contest? Thank you and I look forward to hearing a response from an employee/staff member at VGR

     

  6. If we voted to come out, why are there so many arguments? On the otherhand, if we voted to say in, there would be no arguments through MP's and Politicians.  It's hard to tell the future and what's going to happen regarding brexit. Time will tell in the upcoming months.

    I wish I had the discipline to be that careful but I eat dinner at my computer a lot lol 

     What type of dinner do you usually eat? Although if it's anything that will create a mess by crumbling, doesn't your keyboard or other electrical components get damaged through liquid or food damage? How often do you go about hovering and wiping your build? Accidents can be an expensive mistake.

    I don't think that the gaming industry would be impacted that much. We might have a few situations where developers decide to move their offices away from UK due to potential issues with finding employees. But that's about it really. The servers and such will not be impacted no matter what. Not sure where you heard that from but that would never happen. 

    Would this make employees redundant and the demand for Jobs higher for the gaming industry? No one really knows what the outcome of Brexit will be in the next few months, I guess it's a waiting game. What do you think will happen?

    Bummer that it's only for UK users.

    You could always message the seller to see if they could arrange international shipping for a small fee. Most traders on Amazon Marketplace will allow shipping over seas. This article on Amazon will guide you through on how to get in contact with a merchant. Alternatively, you could try the US version and find similar deals to this one?

    Thanks I appreciate it.

    You can't take back time. My recommendation to you is that you limit the amount of digital copies of video games you have installed and alternatively purchase physical games as the data is stored on the disk, not on the console. Storage doesn't influence processing speeds of the game. Happy Gaming!  What video games have you got so far and how long have you had the console? Are there any other problems with your purchase that you'd like to discuss and I'll do my best to help you. 

  11. Out of all the versions of CoD (Call of Duty) that you have player either on PC or Console, what's your favorite weapon to kill other players or zombies with? Mine is the wunderwaffe as when you pass Level 10, it comes in handy during the time that multiple undead creatures are attacking you. 

  12. Whether you are using a Computer Monitor, TV, or another screen for gaming, what's the size and resolution? I have a 4K, 49 Inch Samsung TV. The majority of times I use it for console gaming and I like bigger televisions as it makes split gaming on single player a lot easier to play with friends.  I wouldn't be able to fit anything bigger into my apartment so I wouldn't want anything larger than what I've already got. 

  13. I often come across challenges in StoryMode of games such as Skyrim and I'm on the edge of just giving up at times. Although, as a last resort I use YouTube tutorials to help me overcome the obstacle that I've come across in game. Besides this, I'll never give up and keep trying until I have succeeded in the current quest that I'm playing. What's your favorite YouTuber to watch for guides, tutorials and gameplays to support you through the difficult stages of a video game? 

  14. When I was actively playing GTA 5 a few months ago, I felt like the radio stations added a special touch to the video game. What's your favorite station to listen too whilst driving in-game and why? Mine is Non-Stop Pop FM. 

  15. Reading the description of this sub-forum, I discovered this is the correct place to share live streams. What platform do you stream on? How many followers/subscribers do you have following you as of today? What video games do you play mostly? Finally, when your live streaming, please reply to this topic with the template below so we can check out your content

    Game that your playing:

  16. This topic is for the UK users only. I'm not much of a console player so therefore this topic isn't for me although I thought I would still share it with the community.  The two discounted products are listed below, let me know if this helped you. Feel free to add this topic if you spot any other good deals going on Amazon. 

    1. Sony PlayStation Classic Console
    2. Buy an Xbox One Console or Controller and get Xbox Live 3 Month Gold Membership for only £9.99 (SRP £14.99)
  17. Who here "snacks" whilst gaming? What do you eat and drink?  Neither for me. I don't want to take the risk of electrical damage in my keyboard, mouse or other essential parts of the build. It's an expensive mistake if this does occur. 

  18. No one really knows what's happening with Brexit, here in the UK. If a no deal ends up happening, how will this affect the gaming industry? Will EU Servers be blocked and will Article 13 be implemented? Share your view below.  This could have a huge impact on companies profits aswell as are all important hobby, gaming.

  19. I don't always look for help as it varies to game to game. I either get really frustrated, admit defeat or find an easier video game to play. Although occasionally, challenging games helps not to loose interest and stay engaged with what I'm playing. On the otherhand, if I'm really struggling, I'll end up researching for tutorials on media-platforms or websites such as YouTube on the difficult stage I'm trying to overcome. 

  20. I made this video atleast 2 years ago. It's a montage/complication of all of my successful kills in KitPvP, on Minecraft. Although it took me nearly half year to put the videos together, add music and graphics I'm really proud of the creation. I re-uploaded all of my YouTube videos onto this channel due to demonetization issues with my other. As you can see, I haven't uploaded for a few months now, this is due to growing responsibilities as an Young Adult. Apart from the singing videos, what do you all think of my uploads

    My Playstation 3 stopped working in 2011 and I had just started playing Eden Eternal and Champions Online so I got rid of my PS3 and I bought some PC parts and built my first gaming desktop and it was no looking back from there. The Xbox One that I have/the one my cousin keeps was a gift from my Grand Aunt. Otherwise, I would never have bought one because the PC can do everything I want without any compromises.

    I'm too interested in building my own desktop for Gaming. What website or store did you purchase the parts from and are there any good YouTube or written tutorials on how to assemble the build together? How much did you pay all together? My budget is £1,000 max.  Fortnite to Skyrim to GTA 5 are some examples of the computer games I'm planning to play once I have found the right PC.

    Well, there are times where you can get a free steam key - no strings attached like on Reddit they have a free sub-Reddit and I have had friends receive free Steam keys.

    Thank you for the explanation. Would you mind explaining a little more where I can possibly aquire these keys? Are there any active giveaways you know of? What section of Reddit do I need to follow? I'm interested in purchasing some video games of Steam for my new, gaming laptop. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
