Details please
I'm generally ignorant of forthcoming games releases until they're no longer forthcoming. Which format, first of all?

PC and maybe Xbox/PS3
It's an MMORPG.

Which they have been banging on about for years
and STILL doesn't have a release date despite now being available for preorder.

Thinks Warcraft but with Star Wars

Late this year I thought?
Gonna go Sith, you?
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 11:53, Reply)

Not decided yet
I'd rather be Sith than Jedi. I might have several characters like people do on Warcraft. I quite fancy being a bounty hunter.

p.s. "later this year" Isn't a release date though

Not a specific release date, no, I'll concede that
I hope they don't follow the route of the other SW online game, where you could only have one character per server. My main will probably be a Sith assassin.

Ooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhh
No way am I getting it for PC, I'll be in some incredibly deep shit if I do

I doubt it will be on xbox or ps3
Pretty sure its PC only

Hogging the laptop to play a Star Wars MMORPG for hours on end
is the quickest route to No Sex Ever Boulevard I can imagine

I'm building a super PC at work in anticipation

( Peej, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:26, Reply)

I cannot adequately explain in text form how far beyond my capabilities that is

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:35, Reply)

building PCs is easy
even I've done it. It's like stickle bricks

A magazine I read
once described building a PC "like Lego, only with a slightly higher risk of horrific electrical death".

and much better kudos from
people who don't realise how easy it is.

for some reason no one is impressed when you build stuff from lego

Not even that unless you try hard
The maximum internal voltage (outside the PSU) should be 12V

Indeed
and even then you'd have to be stupid enough to plug it in before assembling the rest of the machine.

It amused me, that's all.
( Kroney, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:41, Reply)

The capacitors in the PSU can hold a charge,
for the rest you stand more chance of damaging the PC than yourself if you fiddle while running, and usually not even that. I've not actually killed on since I forced the power supply from a 286 onto a 386 mobo as then plug styles were 'close enough'. lots of magic smoke escaped but no one was hurt.

All this egg-sucking instruction
over a passage that amused me.

Well, you youing'uns need telling
innit?

I just wanted to join in with the big boys
so I looked like less of a pathetic arty person and more of a techy.

There's no risk of that unless you plug it in and turn it on

(PsychoChomp, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:40, Reply)

it's no fun without the danger

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:41, Reply)

I routinely plug mine in when its spread out on my desk
Electricity never killed anyone!
( Peej, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:42, Reply)

plug it in, yes
(that stops static problems) but just don't turn it on
