Chuffy's Flying Circus

Hey Binks,

I arrive in Dubai on the evening of the 22nd and leave on the 24th at 0130. I'll be staying at the JW Marriott Marquis 011-971-4-414-0000. I you are free we should try to meet up on the 23rd. You can WhatsApp me at 0116047208148 or ericdavidis@gmail.com. You can also call the hotel and leave me a message (Eric David).

Will do Binks!

I've read of the suffering Fitz, and am currently experiencing it first hand, in Edinburgh!
Pip pip.

Thanks Binks, perhaps we could do breakfast or lunch if you're not too busy printing money and buying luxury cars and trinkets.

Hello Binks!

Rotten luck for me that you will be in Riyadh as I have a layover in Dubai on January 22nd, my first time there. Any must-see or do things I shouldn't miss?

Like the title says Chaps.

I hope you all find a tin of moustache wax under the tree and feast on banana sandwiches throughout the season.

I sure miss Bounder's Christmas hunts...

Hi Ted!

Indeed, I miss the old days of rich single-player content and thick paper manuals!

Star Wars: Squadrons has just been released. I need another video game like I need a hole in my head but it looks pretty nice and should run on a mid-range system.

I haven't bought it yet, I'll wait a bit while others wring it out and post videos/stream it to see if it's worth the effort.

Done.

Hi BD,

Currently stuck at Brisbane airport, weather delays is Sydney causing havoc all over the east coat.

Oh yeah, that Warthog is sweet! 

Hi BD,

I have a four-year-old rig running an i7 4770, 16gb of ram, can’t remember the video card but it is a sub-four digit GTX and everything runs well. I understand the i5 series of cpu will also run it well, as long as it is a 3450 or better.

Have you tried the used market yet? I’m looking for a replacement desktop rig for our place in Whistler and on craigsllist I can find rigs that will run BoX well (i5 3450, 16gb ram, GTX1050), for roughly 300 quid. Hardcore gamers are always upgrading so you can sometimes pick up something decent, mind you I live in an urban area mind you, so there are more opportunities.

I completely agree with Ted that a bigger is better when it comes to monitors. I would consider a 27”monitor a must.
