Hi guys! Just seen that Battlefront 2 is available from next week as a free download on epic store if anyone is interested. 🤟😊 Also if you have PS it's available on EA Play for free too along with many other games for £3.99 a month, Definitely worth checking out. 🤟

Thank you Lee @GazzaGarratt came in the post yesterday.

Very disappointed we didn't beat City yesterday but it was just one of those games where we couldn't score. It doesn't happen that often now and we played quite well so i shouldn't be too disappointed but then again it is City. Looks like i'm a Spurs fan for the final!

I played the new zombies for a few hours the other week, managed to stumble into the easter egg stuff but then had no idea what to do. I know they're looking to bring in a proper story mode for zombies but i'm liking the new version so far. You can call in a copper and escape at round 10 for some bonus stuff or you can hang around for longer and keep fighting. Has anyone given this a go yet or is there anyone that would be up for teaming up and seeing if we can do the easter egg? I may have to eventually look up how to do it as i imagine it's almost impossible to work out unless you play it every day....i'm not even sure i can remember what i did 😄

I've played a lot and quite enjoy it. It's great to rank up. I've managed a few of the easter eggs solo. I would team up, however the time difference (I am in California) is a problem. Lag should not be too much of a problem I won't spoil anything but I have strategy that I can provide if you want

It's just a different ground-to-overhead. Heck, the whole workout was ground to overhead essentially hahaha. My quads are somewhat angry now.

12 Power snatches? 🤢 fuck that 🙈

DATE: 8th January 2021 SESSION: Week 8 Day 3 CALORIES: 2747kcals SESSION: Low Bar Squats 3x7@130kg 3” Block Pulls 2x4@160kg FEELINGS: Today was an exciting day because as an astute business man I’ve taken advantage of the surge in demand for gym equipment during lockdown. Over the course of last week I sold off all my old dumbbells and some old strongman equipment. I then purchased a brand new flat competition standard bench and new spin lock adjustable dumbbells. Taking the number of dumbbells I had from 9 pairs to 13 with more weight. They Botha remove today! Then I had to squat and stare at my fancy new bench that I don’t get to use until tomorrow 🤣

That’s roughly true with my clients, although most of my lads prefer bench press. I like overhead because it brings out the best in me, explosive power through the legs and posterior chain, strong triceps to finish at the top. It’s a great little combo, pick 80-85% 1RM, so the three strict should be somewhat challenging then finish strong with the push press to overload the triceps at the lockout 💪

Yeah I've played quite a bit and watched some videos but as expected I have no idea what to do it's usually left to the randoms I get thrown in with. Would be cool to get a group together and figure the shit out it probably won't take long to suss out.

That half and half 125th edition was a thing of beauty. Didn't we snatch a draw with Kaboul getting the equiliser? 😄

Another 5AM HIIT workout. But, actually 2 of my favorite movements as I don't think I could actually f*ck it up if I don't want heavy things crashing into my face and head. 1/8/2021 Workout Barbell weight = 45lbs Medicine ball weight = 14lbs 15 minute AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) 3 power snatches 3 wall balls 6 power snatches 6 wall balls 9 power snatches 9 wall balls 12 power snatches 12 wall balls Thoughts: First, the new COVID strain is officially in my state, so I'm juggling thoughts on putting gym sessions on hold and keeping up with things at home instead. It's not like I didn't already know it was here. I said the same thing in early January 2020 when COVID started officially spreading in the US. My thought was "if you think it's not already here in our towns and cities everywhere, you're absolutely wrong." I know it's here. I just don't want to give up my very very very small 5AM gym class of 4 people. Anyway. Today's session was led by our gym's lifting coach. I've seen the other members. They are absolutely better with endurance than I am, but I'm built vastly differently than them. With exception of 1 guy, it does not seem like there are any real... weightlifters in our gym. For the workout, since it's a HIIT workout and I already did strict presses and squats on Wednesday, the weights were light. I actually started at 65lbs, but after the first set, I knew that I would not finish 2 rounds of this if I didn't go lighter. He wanted them quick, and I refuse to sacrifice form for speed. 45lbs it is. The coach was so intrigued by my power snatch form that he pestered me the whole session. When I mean pester, I mean that he kept his eye on me and kept saying to the others to watch and mimic my form. This is not something I enjoy. I specifically pick my spot in the gym to be out of sight lol. All in all - as much as I hate being out of breath, I did enjoy today's workout. Give me a HIIT with barbells, and I'm usually happy. Last note --> stairs are not going to be my friend later today or tomorrow lol. Boxing tomorrow should be interesting.

It's a good way to get the blood flowing for the workout... in addition to the warm-ups... And, at least add a little cardio in it. I find it an easy way to not tax my muscles before a lifting session, but at least tax my lungs more than a lift session would.

No worries, its definitely more fun and fast paced than usual Warzone. I can't stand the multi atm, so its definitely a nice change up as a middle ground 🙂

Ahhh I see that makes sense. Now I really despise Warzone/BR things, but that actually sounds a lot better. If I'm ever doing Warzone challenges which they are too many for my liking. Implemented between Season 1 Challenges and Operator ones I know what I will be playing! Cheers for the info.

I'm a bit late on this, but this version of Last Christmas cracks me up to no end. This Wham/Slayer Mashup literally had me in tears of laughter. It actually goes really well. I present to you "Careless In The Abyss"

Its Alcatraz from Blackout, but day time. The rebirth resurgence version is trios, when you die there is no gulag instead you have a countdown timer for when you fly back in, as long as one of your team mates is still alive. They replaced it the last few weeks with "mini royale" instead which was quads but with gulag and a smaller portion of the map like in normal Warzone mini royale.

HC is usually the place people go to do challenges, it's also not a place you find the better players, the fact you kill in one bullet actually takes less skill as you don't have to track targers, also most of the time it's not aim it's just who sees who first. People only might struggle in HC also because there's no Mimi map etc and it's impossible to avoid and escape a gunfight. Camping is also easier with no kill cam. Spyplanes especially free to earn and spammable in cold war make more of a difference in HC. Think that's about it 😉 Treyarch games have always had worse hit detection but I can't remember the last iw game I played and I've also found in the past iw games played awful in HC.

I'm getting a bad back whilst using my laptop sat at my desk so I've decided to get a small PC and connect it to my 42" 4K TV. I figured if I'm not leaning over a laptop i'll fare a little better. I wanted to ask if anyone can suggest the cheapest way possible for me to get a desktop PC which has reasonable spec and will do the following: - Have HDMI out and cope with a 4k resolution - Can run photoshop / office applications, normal stuff - Being able to play some old games like CS:GO or BFME2 etc would be great but not really necessary. I have a pretty low budget, around £300, which isn't going to buy much but I want to get as much as possible for my money. Could anyone help me search for something sufficient for my needs? I'm hitting a blank on Amazon at the moment.

Good shout, and I did indeed do that too. My current chair has a very low back, no lumbar support and it's like sitting on a wooden board so hopefully that should also help! Thanks mate

I'd also look into a better chair, they looks little silly but the gaming chairs that look like racing seats are actually really good for posture.

I can't believe I didn't think of doing that. I'll give it a go with a laptop stand first and see how I get on. Thanks!

I'd start saving your money and buy a better one later in the year as £300 is not going to get you a lot and you may find you'll have to buy another one in a few years time. My advice would be to buy a laptop stand and buy a seperate keyboard and mouse. The laptop stand will raise and keep your laptop cooler, so you shouldn't be hunched over too much. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kensington-Portable-Ergonomic-Cooling-SmartFit/dp/B0007YB8NM/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=laptop+riser&qid=1610027525&s=computers&sr=1-5

Love the idea of the buy in and cash out!

"but they're likely to be new players, with average K/D ratios skewing as low as 0.72 in some games"....in some games? That's where I live in all CoD games, baby!! 🤣

Can't believe we have to wait 4 months for the League Cup final😅 I may try and dig out my old Samsung phone to see if I can recover pictures from the 2008 final. I had 3 Tottenham home shirts that year - one at the start plain white and then I bought a special embroidered one for the final with Keane on the back and then I went out and got a winners one with King printed! I even had a half and half one from the Villa 125th year game. That was one expensive season. Went to every game in the League cup including Burnley away the following year too but I didn't go too insane with shirts that year😎

Every time I see the name of this thread pop up I think it's a new term for a sex position I'm not hip enough to know yet🤔

Hey guys! Currently playing in the official E Premier League on Fifa 21 online against some of the world's best. It's been very tough so far but managed 4 wins and 2 losses at this moment in time. Have a few games tonight starting from 5pm and will be playing almost every day. Currently ranked in the top 25 in the world representing Manchester United. I will be streaming most games live on Twitch so please come along and watch if you can 😊😊🤟🤟 http://www.twitch.tv/madtitanthanos89?sr=a Thanks for all the support from everyone so far See you there 👍 #GGFG

Got to do James "Got no options" Tom's "Scccrrriiipppttt", Jordies "Top bins only" and my "Shoot it" 😂🤣

I've not done some updates for a while but suffice to say we've had a roller-coaster of a ride with us now bouncing around Division 3, sometimes Division 4 and hitting the dizzy heights of Division 2 a few times already. Pretty amazing achievement I think really, considering that vast difference in skill level between us all and we're pretty much having a laugh and putting the world to right as we're playing! Having said that, Monday Night Football this week started off to a flyer after having one game left in Division 3 which we needed to win to get promoted. Usually the first game of the night is a 'warm-up' game where we get spanked but hilariously we managed to take a 2-1 lead through the Rodman & Kanye combination @Lurch @jordie1892 . Somehow we made 2 perfectly timed tackles for both to be given as Penalties (Script you yell?). Well, the FIFA gods were on our side as not one, but two pens were neatly saved (second hit the bar but it was clearly us clicking buttons) and we ended up winning the game 3-2 to secure promotion. After that, the night went downhill rapidly and didn't come back up. Kind of like my se...no, I won't go there. Tom @LordBaguette will lose it if I go all negative again 😄 The results below however could've been a different story entirely, as our first game in, we started off to a flyer. James aka Rodders, hit 2 early strikes when it looked like he lost the ball both times only for him to turn like an 8-foot Olympic ice skater and bulleted home two goals. 27 minutes in, 2-0 up and we felt great. Then everything froze. For everyone. We all thought we'd get the win because we'd played enough to secure a result, but no. Nothing. After that devastating blow though, we struggled to keep the goals down, although still dominating possession up top. Goals were going in the way they had on previous occasions and it was like we had to take so much energy to build up for a goal, we'd end up losing possession, one ball through and they'd be one-on-one again. Goal. A few batterings in between those performances and a cheeky odd win too, we all probably wanted to go down as quickly as we could. We tried to end the night on a high back in Division 3 but after leading 5-3 with 20 minutes to go, and then finish with a 6-5 loss. I think the whole night was typified when we were playing well, @Macca89 managed to slide in and intercept a keeper throw out on the edge of the box, and with the ball trundling towards the net the whistle blows for Half Time. I did score a couple of good goals too though which i was happy with...until @jordie1892 showed me how I looked like a half-decent John Flanagan 🙈🤣 Unlucky lads, sometimes nights won't always go our way but still a good laugh! @Lurch @jordie1892 @Macca89 @LordBaguette @Dan94 @TonyAE86 @G_dub52 @Findmartin GGFG!

I'd be interested to give the seal a try! It's nice to have a raid group in general and if we wanna mix things up and go for a seal that's cool too. Either way works for me! I'll make a post for next Sunday and we can see what folks are up for that day.

I think we got through so fast because everyone's learnt it, and we've got a reasonable settled group so everyone knows what to do. Doing the raid challenges would mix it up a bit, but equally I'm happy just running with this group of people. After years of LFGing raids it is so nice to have a regular group. And always happy to add a newbie and get them into DSC. So any lurkers out there, just say the word! In terms of knocking out challenges I think we just go with the flow, I agree we should never discourage anyone from joining. If I'm desperate for the seal I can always LFG it, but would much rather do it with the FG gang As for the official way to the chest, I have to admit, I have heard this said, but have literally no idea how to get to it other than the way i always go. Think @RedBeardCG wanted to run again next Sunday same time, if that works then I'm in. Will try and set something up for mid week as well, although i know that might be trickier for people

There is more to it than that. The battle is 1300 COD points. If you get to level 100, you get 1300 COD point. So playing through the pass is essentially free and you get all of the content, skins, blue prints, XP tokens. I have it, I had the last one. Paying for the first 20 tiers isn't worth it, but the pass costs 0 if you are going to play a lot

Try this....
