Near on a hour on YouTube watching Honest Trailers, the guy who makes them you rock.

I really like the Honest Trailers for video games. I wonder what he could do with his awesome voice for SH3/4?

Boy rang me from Perth, Western Australia unexpectedly and we spoke for nearly an hour.

Made my day

Was to go sailing today on newly repainted refitted boat but it is raining to beat the band...so maybe tomorrow. Good for the fire situation though so the fire season is probably over for the year.

Just had a big omelette with oak-smoked cheddar grated all over it (before bunging under the grill to finish off) followed by a giant glass of merlot by the fire.

After two days of over time a day off tomorrow, then back to work. With more over time and next week yes more over time, helps to pay the bills.

Looking for military related games that will work with W10.

If anyone has recommendations I'd be grateful.

Don't know what vintage you like, but "Hidden & Dangerous 2" (plus its "Sabre Squadron" expansion) runs perfectly on Win10 for me, and is a favourite sandbox-type game with good graphics that I return to over & over for loads of fun. I run it from the disc, btw

I was also able to play "Brothers in Arms, Hell's Highway" with its more up to date graphics... although H&D's visuals are still great

Cheers, for what they cost I'll give them a go but thus far I've been unable to get any of my Medal Of Honor or Call Of Duty games to play in any compatability mode I set.

I normally game on a fairly good offline tower PC which has XP installed, so this afternoon I installed on my laptop a few of what I think are the best military games likely to run on Windows 10. I'm pleased to report that they all ran perfectly well:

Call of Duty 'World at War' seems to be fine; Battlefield Bad Company 2 (superb game); Operation Flashpoint 'Dragon Rising'; Conflict 'Desert Storm II' runs fine, so I'm guessing the others in this great series will too; original Ghost Recon... also runs fine, so I expect the addons will too; Ghost Recon 'Advanced Warfighter'... a more up-to-date game than the previous series and it also looks just fine.

Hope this helps; I'll try a few more later.

Ask your IT about dual boat for Win 10 and Win 7 pro ... I know you have enough storage space for both.

Had a dabble with the old 'Ghost Recon' games yesterday. I haven't ever played through either of the expansions before (Desert Siege and Island Thunder)... so what if the trees look like sticks of rhubarb... the enemies are deadly enough and the gameplay lots of fun.
