    "Warns on using mouth for sex"

    So, what, that includes gay and straight? No oral for anyone?

    Too far. Let's get NATO in to sort this **** out. Or make things worse, whatever, I forget what NATO do.

    I've just been paid today so I'm going to buy a next gen console. Does anyone have any advice on which one to go for?

    Everyone on here will say PS4. And they're totally right.

    PS4. Unlike the Xbox, you can play it offline.

    XboxOne has the games atm but PS4 is the better machine. The PS4 can run at high res then the One. Also Sony has all it's in house dev teams like Naughty Dog etc.

    I was a 360 guy last year but moved to Sony as the games they make are far better.

    Just get whichever one has the games you prefer and/or your friends are on. If you don't have any preferences either way in those regards then just get a PS4.

    If you go to the "configure a laptop" bit, it gives you a list of pre-made ones, and then you can just customise what hardware you want, if you want. If you scroll down in that list to the 15.6" Vortex, that's a £750 laptop already optimised for gaming. For a bit of extra cash (dunno how much exactly) you could change the i3 processor to an i5. But basically all the default settings are good. Sick graphics card and all that. And you're paying less that you would if you bought an equivalent laptop through Dell or Toshiba or whoever.

    My brother just did that, think he got something decent for £550 ish, that was mostly the basic/default stuff though. I might sell my desktop and re-roll the dice with them after uni. Depends if I have any money I suppose.

    Everything is great...except for the graphics card. The single GT755M at 1080p won't really pull its weight; getting the SLI option on the right is definitely better, even with half the RAM, but some games don't support multi-GPU configurations (or support it well).
