    Console History

    So i've just just been chatting with a colleague about the games consoles we've owned throughout our lives and got me thinking what's everyones personal gaming console history. Mine is: Nintendo Gameboy Playstation (original grey one) PS One Playstation 2 Playstation 3 (original bulky model) Playstation 3 (smaller 2nd model) Xbox 360 Elite Nintendo Wii PSP (still got as i got it in Japan and can't trade it in 😂) Playstation 4 Xbox One Playstation 5 Whats your console history? Thought it would be interesting to share and compare 😁

    Super Bomberman FTP

    I just came across this, I’m not sure on the specific version and guess because it’s ftp there will be microtransactions. But fir free still worth checking out. Depending how people can party up / play together it could be good for a FG Friday too. SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE Official Website WWW.KONAMI.COM Blast it out in a 64-player battle royale with SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE! Now with the unique...

  3. Two days to go !!! Yeah, personally cant wait for 6pm UK Saturday to get stuck into VoG again, and been doing a bit of reading and thinking about strats/ loadouts/ advice / prep etc. This will naturally have some spoilers in so anyone wanting to go in blind, good luck!!! Firstly - Contest mode - for those who dont know our light level will be capped at 1300 through out the raid, whilst the Vex will be higher - i would expect they'll start 15 levels above, and by the Boss room they'll be 25 levels above - sort of GM level, but without the extra modifiers that GM's bring. So easier than GM, but not easy. Personally I'll be looking to stay alive as a priority, so things like: high recovery stat variety of solar / arc / void chest pieces to easily up damage resistance depending on each encounter (think i saw somewhere that VoG is mainly void and solar, but who knows whats changed) mods like protective light and ability to carry a few stacks of it (, extra charge, stacks on stacks etc) I'm sure many of us remember VoG very well (and assuming its not changed too much) but worth thinking about things that have changed in D2 which will have an impact, such as: champions and anti-champion mods. I'd bet my life on overload minotaurs on the 'opening the door' starting encounter, and bound to be a few more throughout (unstoppable wyvern anyone?) dont forget anti-barrier is not just for champions - Hobgoblin snipers are hopefully going to suffer, the bane of many runs ! swords - werent really a thing back in VoG's day, but potentially super useful now some of the go to high level supers werent really a thing in original VoG, so well and tether and stasis might help a ton, and thundercrash maybe (not sure about this cos of the Relic) deaths - 6 revives only, not the constant revives we could do, stay alive!! mods - the whole mod system is new, warmind cells might be super useful, protective light and powerful friends etc - I'm going to try and get some synergies across my team just to try and keep people on their feet grenade launchers didnt exist, and i bet Anarchy gets a lot of use this weekend - try to unlock the top right mod on the seasonal artefact, seems to promise a lot of anarchy fun. Rockets dont go through the relic shield, but i wonder if GL grenades do? Can always jump! Add-clear - VoG of old is very mechanic light compared to todays raids, the main issue was staying alive in the face of huge waves of adds, so add clearing exotics like Riskrunner and Trinity Ghoul might be good calls, and add clearing supers will be helpful for a lot of the early stages Two other top tips from back in the day Bubble titan with helm of saint 14 was a total joy in dealing those vex coming up the steps! At Aetheon, even if your screen to totally black, you can still see your fireteam's names - JUMP TO THE NAMES Feel free to add more -long time since VoG and I've got the memory of a goldfish !

    Nintendo Sega Megadrive PlayStation Xbox Xbox 360 PS4 My younger brother had a Gameboy, Sega Saturn, PS2, PS3 I had friends that have owned Sega Mastersystem, SNES, N64, Dreamcast, GameCube. So between my brother and friends it fills the gaps I didn't have. I got to play most consoles to some extend minus the older ones like Spectrum, Amstrad, Jaguar, Atari etc

  6. Super thread @Antpool84 ! Whilst i know some have this in their PPRs its always good to see interest in console history to bring them to life again! I always consider my Sega Mega Drive was my first console although arguably my first gaming thing was when I won a Nintendo Gameboy at my primary school raffle. As I got older, I picked up a couple of consoles that I didn't get chance to own when they first came out and we used to have them all in my living room with a bunch of TVs so me and my friends growing up could play through lots of games at the same time. Magical moments. Heres my list in the order I got them (as best I can remember anyway): Nintendo Game Boy Amstrad CPC 464 Sega Mega Drive Sony Playstation 1 Sony Playstation 2 Sega Dreamcast Nintendo GameCube Microsoft Xbox Microsoft Xbox 360 Nintendo SNES Nintendo NES Nintendo 64 Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP Sega Game Gear Sega Master System II [Alex Kidd in Miracle World built in] Sega Master System II [Sonic The Hedgehog built in] Sega Mega CD Sega Saturn Atari ST 500 Atari Jaguar Atari Lynx Nokia N-Gage Sony PSP SNK Neo Geo CD Nintendo Wii Sony Playstation 4 Sony PS Vita Microsoft Xbox One SNK Neo Geo Pocket Color Sony Playstation 3 Sony Playstation 5

    Here's the thing... I was told to stay off my foot and work from home for at least 2 weeks. There was no way I was gonna just watch TV lol. So, I was looking specifically for the backwards compatible version. The last 2 available, which was the MSG edition, was about 50+ miles away. Hence the drive hahaha. Nintendo has some fantastic cult classic games that are almost infinitely replayable... this is why I will probably always have one. Just for those one or two games haha. There's always the Switch if you want to get into it!

  9. Love Super Bomberman! Such nostalgia for me. Growing up, when all my first cousins would get together because of family events, Bomberman is one of the games we would play with each other. Such a blast. Would love to play it with FG! Maybe get some of those hilarious moments again.

  10. I think we’re going for two of each class. A banner sheild and bubble Titan. A tether and stasis hunter and the then a chaos and well warlock. That’ll cover most things to start with then we’ll adapt each encounter if we need to. We want each class to have a suppressive and add clear capabilities. The stasis and tether should work well for add control then the chaos can do quick add clear. I shall be the only well but if the boots work good then one should be enough. If people are too spread out for the healing to work then we’ll have to adapt as necessary. I’ve never done VOG so I’m on a back foot. My team have about a thousand clears between them all but that doesn’t help if they change stuff. Your team have all done it too so it should be good raiding all round. I think it’ll be the first raid where we’re all in the running for a day 1

  13. Good write up Bob, I agree on a lot of what you’ve said. There’s going to be overloads etc without a doubt. There’s wyverns but we don’t know if they’re going to be champions or not yet. risk runner is an awesome shout for clearing but it’s gonna be a gamble if it’s going to be worth losing an exotic space. I wouldn’t bother with trinity ghoul as no doubt an arrow even with lightning conductor active won’t kill the vex. Once modifiers have gone it’ll be good tho. I’m gonna be a well warlock but with the new boots so I can continuously have a rift out and my teammates will constantly be bombarded with them healing seeking orbs. I haven’t quite unlocked breach and clear yet but that is gonna be the main play for boss dps

  15. Massive thanks go to you @phil bottle for getting everything sorted for this inaugural season. Getting all the tracks sorted and setup with the cars, tyre and fuel settings is definitely not a job I would have wanted to do so great job! Honestly from my side it's been a brilliant season and I genuinely wouldn't have wanted to finish in any other way than for it all to go down to the last race of the season to decide the final positions. It's been great seeing all the fights all the way down the grid and I know I have said it multiple times at this point, but it's brilliant to see everyone's progress through the whole season, and how everyone has developed their own style and race craft. I know everyone has taken it seriously but at the same time it's been great to have a good laugh with everyone because at the end of the day it's only a game 🙂 @GrebothIts been great racing you this season mate and i definitely have had to up my game to get anywhere close to you especially after my slow start to the season and thinking "how fucking fast is this guy???" Looks like we might have our work cut out for us for the Summer season especially with the rate of improvement of of certain individuals! The race reports were great to have a read of when i should have been working on a Monday 😀 Roll on the Summer season and let's get a full grid every race if we can!

  20. I like Riskrunner as an option. All I'd say to people is make sure you have a number of high level guns that you can infuse into whatever you may need to call upon and grab some extra upgrade modules too to save the time and hassle. I'd argue at Templar stage it was always the sniper Hobgoblins that we're worse than the Ad-control. They only overwhelmed us if we didn't get the Minotaurs quickly that would spawn in the top corners of the map. Part of me suggests a decent scout to call on for some stages. I haven't got a decent Linear Fusion rifle though and I'm very much feeling like we'll need one for Atheon. I get that and its a difficult one to balance as they're non-FG. Ideally we can find more that would like to run it but with FGers getting behind this I cant see how they can take a slot over them right at this minute. I always felt more would FGers would be around and its great they are. Lets hope a few more come out of the woodwork too. Don't forget, I cant see a problem in getting them in a raid with us in the first few days I imagine, just might be difficult for other FGers to get to know them on the first time meeting is a Day 1 raid with the additional challenge that comes with it issall. 😅 It might help if they come over and do an intro? 😄

    Fun topic! You'll find my history on my first post in my PPR (I didn't include handhelds): But, also here: Gaming Consoles Owned: Apple IIc (here because it's the only out-of-the-box computer used for games) Atari 7800 NES Sega Master System SNES Sega Genesis Playstation 2 (first console I bought with my own money) GameCube Xbox 360 (out of sympathy for my now-husband) Playstation 3 (I drove 100+ miles with a broken foot to buy the backwards compatible version) Wii Playstation 4 Wii U Nintendo Switch Playstation 4 Pro Playstation 5

  25. I was thinking me you and crispy as Titans, La as a warlock and aj and Charlie as hunters. It is tempting to have two warlocks though , does aj just play hunter, or have I got that totally wrong?. . @Teenwolf25 would be interest to get your thoughts on team composition ?

  26. 5/20/2021 Workout Rowing Class Thoughts: The amount of how much I did not want to do today's workout was immense. I'm tired. Sleepy. Sore. I had the realization while walking out the house at 5:30AM that my body is happy at 4x a week of workouts and not 5x. But, I'm still glad I went. That only happens after the workout lol. If I wasn't sore enough before the rowing class, I am now! Because rowing 6,933m hurts... with intervals of body weight movements. I want to nap. Maybe I'll see about napping during lunch lol. Rest day tomorrow. Finally.

  27. Fair points Clive gut I’m hopeful for TG , fully master worked it does a lot of ancillary damage which then held chain the next lightening conductor. I’m not wedded to it but will probably give it a try I. The opening encounter and see how it goes. RR was @RenFengge’s idea and I think could be awesome as the fanatics drop arc fluid. Again will try it and see how it goes, so much add clearing to do !!

  30. I watched Countdown (the horror flick, not the quiz 😂) on Amazon Prime the other night. Not too bad to be honest, it had some jump scare moments and the concept was cool, but the ending was a bit cliché, don't think i'd watch it again.

  37. Looking for something lightweight for myself and Mina to watch, we settled upon Cobra Kai. 5 episodes in, great decision. It's a lot of fun and very funny in some places. Some excellent references to the film and to the 1980s...and i think the writers are enjoying themselves with the script. Plus I'm getting drawn into the 'strike first' approach 😁
