Humble Weekly Sale is full of shooters

I have to admit, I remember Serious Sam being fun. But it's really not. However you definitely need to have Duke 3D in your collection if it isn't already, and finally completing System Shock 2 is high on my personal "achievement list". Worth 6 bucks of anyone's pocket money.

This ends on the 19th of September.

GTA V (GTA 5) best price in the UK

It's so nearly upon us. I'm surprised I've waited so long to pre-order, but I've placed mine today.

Surprisingly, the best price I managed to find was at Amazon - in the past it's often been Tesco or Sainsbury or some other supermarket. But no, this time GTA V appears to be cheapest from Amazon.

I'm pretty glad actually - I get to use the Prime membership I regret purchasing.

£34.99 on both Xbox 360 and PS3 (images below are direct links)

 

 I shouldn't need to say much about it. It's going to be amazing. This gameplay video has emerged, might be a bit of a spoiler so if you want to preserve all the story surprises (the first 7 minutes at least) look away!

 

I can't wait. I have to get all the jobs I need to sleep until it arrives so I can play non-stop. That's how sleep works, right?

Otherwise I'mma just be like this until Tuesday/Wednesday:

TTNET router settings

TTNET. Like the internet, but slower.

This might be an obscure one for many, but having spent untold time trying to find these settings I want to immortalise them here.
If you want to bring your own router to TTNET (their free ones are better than some I've been given in the past, but still pretty weak) you'll need these to fill in the connection details. Make sure you know your username and password as the accounts are not automatically tied to your phone number as they are with some ISPs / countries.

Username: ******@ttnet (don't leave out this @ttnet part)
Password: I can't help you here...
If you've forgotten it, and have internet access somehow, use this online form.
If you don't have internet access (makes sense..), you'll have to phone them.
Amusingly (for me at least) if you enter the wrong password your router will connect, and when you try to access a website you'll be pushed to the "wrong password" webpage where you can find the phone number and other help information.

Connection type:
PPPoE
LLC (not VCMUX)
ATM UBR (choose these if options exist)
MTU: 1454 (actually this was set to 1492 on my old router but 1454 seems stable and is more "default")
VPI: 8
VCI: 35

That's about all there is to it.

If you're having trouble getting into your router settings, a safe bet is "admin / [no password]" or "admin / admin". Otherwise you'll have to find the manual or google your router model. If it's second hand, try using the reset button (hold for 5-10 seconds until the lights flash) to reset to factory settings.
