Forever Gaming's 'Feel Good' Fund

[Spacedeck 920]

Thank you!  I don't feel as though I deserved anything, I haven't done anything noteworthy other than just be around but I just want to say I love you all and you're all amazing!  Even if I lack the ability to communicate or interact with anyone outside of posting.   Now I feel my setup is complete. 💕

Great post, a lot of stuff in here i did not know about 😀

[GazzaGarratt 11,037]

Well, its been a while for an FGFGF update, but hopefully you can let me off on that, as the first months of 2021 have certainly been busy to say the least 😄

 

The Big Xmas FGFGF Giveaway was a huge thing for me to try and organise and complete but I was determined to do something extraordinary because of the hard times we've all had through this global lockdown. FGers received playstation, xbox and steam vouchers, brand new games (quite a few that were AAA) to play with other FGers, quality merchandise through special edition statues and FG personalised stuff thrown in to make it all up. All FGers ( except @Dan94  because of Merch supplier issues 😤) have their gifts and I really hope they've been well received and you're getting a lot of smiles out of them already. Even though that was quite a significant mini project to do, especially alongside the FG Awards (how can we all forget!), I still managed to get a few more Feel Good Fund surprises out there in the wild over that period and into early 2021.

 

Clive @Teenwolf25  and Justin @FallenDark200  helped us massively get through the difficult times on Destiny in the last few years and helped many FGers get their first raids done and some seriously hard activites completed. Games like Destiny require people to keep the social side of things going whilst we wait for better days and i'm glad its still a game that is a core game here. A Feel Good surprise in the way of FG personalised Hoodies went their way as a thanks to them.

 

James @Lurch  has been a newer FGer to the fold at the back end of last year, getting involved every week on FIFA nights and embracing what FG is about finding the time to get into the other games we all play on an FG Friday. With some harder times that he's had to overcome, a Feel Good opportunity was open for the taking which we gladly took with both hands, so he now is a lovely owner of a 2TB Hard Drive for all the extra games he has to play with FGers.

 

Tom @LordBaguette  has made a real effort to bring a buzz around the place with his Marvel comic/movie knowledge, his support with setting up previous poker nights as well as having other challenges to deal with, so sending him a handmade version Iron Man Arc Reactor (picture below) to brighten his days with an FG smile.

 

We were also able to honour our promise last year of getting Cyberpunk 2077 for Sam @Capn_Underpants  and we hope everything at home is getting better with her Mum and family ❤️

 

Finally, @JBR-Kiwi was struggling for a while in GT Sport when shifting his gears would completely take him out of the race, and whilst that wasn't much of a bad thing 🤣 , we're not that bad so he now owns a lovely PS4 controller so he can beat us again and again 😁. It should be also noted Kiwi immediately sent a donation to FG related to this, once again showing justification as to why he was much deserving of a Feel Good present.

 

Outside and on top of all the of FGFGF gifts, we also shouldn't forget we've created and maintained 3 PC FG Dedicated Servers; 7 Days to Die, Minecraft and Valheim. Whilst we are putting 7 Days on hold, this is something we'd love to see more of if we physically can make it happen but would require relevant support, via activity and ad-hoc donations to keep them going.

 

And lastly on the topic of donations, I've started to see a few coming over recent weeks without saying anything and its HUGELY appreciated. ❤️ We all hopefully know by now we can't do all of this, on top of making everything run as normal without regular donations from you all. If we can get a few more over coming weeks then my hope is to look at the FGFGF in April and get even more Feel Good surprises out where possible, so if you can donate it is a huge benefit to everyone here at FG. You can do this through the homepage link to the PayPal FG Account or let me know (i'll get the merch stuff updated so we can also get a little bit when you get stuff from that too).

 

GGFG all ❤️

Wow!!! This is awesome! I've only been a member of the group for a few weeks now but i've been really enjoying it. Everyone one in the fifa group has been really welcoming and i'm loving the banter with the guys, although i'm surprised i wasn't booted after giving away 3 pens in one night 😂. Everyone is so supportive of one another too which is really cool. Didn't know you could donate either, deffo have to find that page.  This group is awesome and i'm really happy to be a part of it.

 

GGFG peeps

[G_dub52 559]

Awesome work @GazzaGarrattand its great to see FG bringing smiles to so many people!

 

Glad your enjoying it too @Antpool84 , I'm trying to work on a few more people getting involved too :).

 

Well done to the guys getting gifts and keep up the good work all! 

 

GGFG!

@GazzaGarratt You’re a legend good sir ❤️

[LordBaguette 840]

Love you for the arc reactor lee! Brightened up a bad week!!! Xoxoxooxox

[BO7H B4RRELS 2,452]

I dare anyone to find a better gaming community.  It can't be found.  This place is amazing.  

[slamminbones 1,783]

Was over the moon with GT sport and it has been well used and my FG mug is the only mug I use at home 😊. 

Once I sort my self out financially will do a donation. 

[GazzaGarratt 11,037]

I promised you all for a special update from the FGFGF on my recent update about summer improvements to FG, so here it is! Buckle in tight for this one 😄

 

As most of you will hopefully know by now, La @RenFengge has come into help me a huge amount of late and she found an opportunity within lockdown to do a few extra special gifts as we had a few generous people in FG that could contribute significantly to help make a few people smile.

 

First off, Bob @Baabcat  has been here for many years and we've seen him be amazing of late, trying super hard to help many of the Destiny 2 FGers get involved and put up many raids each and every week. Its crazy to think that after nearly 7 years of Destiny, the past 6-12 months is the most active it has ever been at FG with so many complete FG raids, dungeons and Nightfalls done with each other. A large part of this was down to Bob so we duly obliged when knowing Charlie @Venom  had a PS5 but his Dad didn't. After working out the logistics with Clive @Teenwolf25 , we informed Bob online how great he is and gave him a huge smile from the FGFGF with a new PS5.

 

Secondly, Gary @techno  has been a mainstay in FG for so many years and helping in areas that people really haven't seen before but he's always there to pick you up when you need it most. He always offers advice, even when you didn't realise it. It was about time this guy from 'up Norf' received something extra special, especially whilst he has to be ploughing money into huge alterations in house for his wife that has a degenerative disability. Thanks to a few more significant others, we were able to not give away one PS5, but two! (Logistical mare with how he got it but it was paid for nonetheless 😄).

 

A shipping problem lies with our merch currently, but i've managed to test a few new design hoodies out, finally sorting the last Xmas FGFGF giveaway present to @Dan94  and for all his continued efforts with his artwork and helping me significantly with his amazing Gran Turismo Articles, @Greboth received his own personalised hoodie.

 

Some also might not be aware but our beautiful Scottash @Nutcuttlit  had a horrible scare recently when his daughter was knocked over by a car. Whilst battered and bruised she soldiered on like how her Dad can be, so we thought we would send the best current release on Metacritic, a 2 player co-op game It Takes Two. Hopefully the smiles can keep wash away the bruises over time 😄

 

There was a few FG mugs given out too, @Findmartin  @TonyAE86  @Lurch  @Antpool84  to name just a few.

 

We're working quite hard to get some extra things to other FGers outside of the UK too. Its more of a logistical nightmare (and has been for a few years) but watch this space and we're extremely hopeful of doing further good things to keep people smiling around the world in the not too distant future.

 

Lastly, don't get take the next part lightly.

 

Thank You. ALL OF YOU people have shown you have the ability to keep making so many people smile and happy, especially when it hits some people's lives when they need it most. There's some of FGers out there that won't be named that are at their darkest points, and stuff like this - showing that you care for others at such a hard time for all of us - helps them realise life is worth living.

 

 

Keep giving when you can to make FGers smile. GGFG all ❤️

 

[techno 3,509]

I'd like to say a huge thank you, I was blown away when I heard to the point I was sat on the bed, as we've been living upstairs for 2 months now 🙄 literally speechless. It was a definite highlight in a few very frustrating and trying months. 

When the house gets finally sorted it will definitely be getting some use.

 

Thanks again ❤️

[Baabcat 1,646]

Huge thank you from me, was a really great present and very much appreciated. It’s been a fantastic year of raiding with FG. Long may it continue 

[Diddums 4,346]

I fucking love FG. And I love each and every one of you who make it what it is. I don't get to play as much as I used to, but when I do, you guys make it worthwhile.

 

It's fantastic to see that so many of you have all received some New Content Everybody™ ❤️ 

[Antpool84 1,109]

So just received this awesome present from the FGFGF and i am lost for words!! I am loving being a member of the FG after being introduced by @G_dub52 , and have got to know some of the guys like @GazzaGarratt, @jordie1892 , @Macca89 , @Lurch  and @tronic44 among many others through Monday night Fifa, and have even managed to have a little Cov meetup with a few of the lads which was an awesome night. I really enjoy the banter we all have together and all the different discussions that go on here, and the fact that we all have each others backs for anything is truly awesome. Thank you again guys for this awesome gift and i'm looking forward to many for awesome FG nights and meetups in the future. GGs peeps!!!

[GazzaGarratt 11,037]

We might be busy doing bits and pieces (there is soooooo much to do 😅) but we try to ensure that a few people get recognised to give them a big smile along the way. We wouldn't have it any other way would we?? The FGFGF recently:

 

As mentioned above, @Antpool84  has been a great addition to FG this year and whilst he's tried to get involved in many game nights, the storage has been holding him back for some time. Hopefully the 2TB external drive goes a little way to keeping his smile on his face. Huzzah!

 

Equally, we never thanked @jordie1892  back in the day to help create and get the FIFA mini euro league up and running. To get over 40 matches done was immense considering we hadn't done anything like this before and as a gesture to one of the coolest FGers we have, some FIFA Points went his way so he can boss everyone on Ultimate Team in FIFA 22 😄

 

Finally, our resident Batman Chad @Riff Machine , has gone through a hell of a lot of late so it felt logical and common sense to perk him up with a few goodies below and some Steam vouchers so he can find something to enjoy on his PC. We're always here for you big man 👊

 

We have lots more to do, loads of ideas and thoughts to implement and we're nearing Christmas (a little too quickly, even for me), so where possible we should and must continue to make people smile with the FGFGF and keep donating when and where you can. Who knows....if I/we can find the time to muster something on similar lines to the Big Xmas Giveaways we've done in the past then we'll certainly give it our best shot to try.

 

GGFG 🧡

 

 

 

P.S. Don't forget looking at out next big meet up next November and our potential first Charity team event in April/May (See Site Info Section for more!)
