Gory, brutal and funny definitely gonna check it out. Also hearing that you don't need to have played the games to enjoy it also helps. 

Yeah I'd love to hear your thoughts if you watch it, been wondering what it's like for non Fallout players 👍

Well now, its also interesting to see that despite everything, COD still generates the most chat on this forum 🖤🤪🤣

I didn't bother with MW3 this year and with COD games of late struggling to hold my interest even going into December, I ended up playing stacks of other games instead which were so much more beneficial to my time and enjoyment.  Unless Black Ops 14 or whatever number we're at is a radical improvement in terms of quality and consumer ethics then I can't see me ever returning to the franchise. As predicted, Microsoft's acquisition has had absolutely no benefit whatsoever to the gamer just like with Bethesda and if anything, things are even worse than before. Such a shame because there was real hope after MW2019 but once again the franchise feels absolutely exhausted and way off where it should be morally and in quality. 

Tbh since getting interstellar I found I've little to no reason to turn the game on, there maybe some interest in any fg Friday that might occur however it's not just cod where gaming is concerned at the moment which might be down to the fact the winter should be over.

I think this is misunderstood. You need to buy a set of skins which will cost you 9600 CoD points. They are 2400 CoD points each. If you buy them all you get the glove. So you're not really buying a glove for 9600 Cod points but you kind of are. 
 
Personally I would never do that. I don't bother with purchased skins or blackcell.
 
However people should be clear that they aren't charging $80 for a single item.   I don't understand why someone for pay $15 for a skin, but I tend to not comment about what people should do with their own money
 
 
 
 

I think its only fun with FG. I may be somwhat biased in that answer, but when they do this type of stuff it just doesn't feel fun to play at all. With others, you create far more interesting and fun objectives in each match to focus on. I'll play scheduled events on when we can with a group of FGers and maybe some FG Fridays to keep it ticking over.

$80 gloves

 
Nice to see Microsoft making a positive difference to the franchise🤣

I've managed to watch 4 episodes. I wanted to watch a few before passing judgment. I didn't know what to expect but it's excellent.
 
I was worried to begin with that it might be a bit tame and I might find the characters annoying but no, it's gory, brutal, funny and I think they cast it very well, so yeah overall very happy so far.

With Final Shape being delayed, Bungie promised some bits to keep players engaged. I think they've done a decent job looking at what seems available:
 

 
Here's the trailer:
 
 
Some thoughts
Finally added some form of a horde mode, called Onslaught. 50 levels. Different difficulties. 12 weapons, removed because of gamebreaking elements, now back in the game. Updated and enhanced. 2 exotic missions. Whisper and Zero Hour. Probably 2 of the best missions we've ever had. Raid Gauntlet Boss new activity. I think if this works, this will hit fantastically hard.  
There seems more but those were the key parts for me. Most people are saying PvP will be broken as hell, but I think we were already there anyway with that lol.
 
For free for the 2 months ahead of the Final Shape, it seems like a great update to me. Any thoughts?

I saw a trailer for the new Roadhouse, honestly laughed my arse off when I saw who was in it 🤣

So I finally watched the beekeeper, now it's a Statham film so you know what your getting but for me that's fine as I like his stuff and it's pure brain out entertainment.
I also watched, back to back the new road house and the original. Now for me it's the original hands down but I have to say the remake wasn't as bad as I expected if you can get past Jake Gyllenhal fighting Connor McGregor 🤔 however not sure we should see McGregor acting again either 😉. However not a waste of 2 hours.

It's so weird that you say this as I reinstalled it on Friday. @techno and I were gonna have a little play but a 132gb download quickly put an end to that. It's fully updated and ready to go though, maybe I'll even put something in the calendar for Friday.
 
I'm so bored of cod it's unreal. 
 
I even subbed to WoW for a month to see if that would keep me busy but after running a few dungeons I'm just bored again.
 
Helldivers 2 looks ace but my days of spending cash on games that get played a few times and then get abandoned are done, I'm only spending cash on stuff I really intent to get stuck in to. 
 
I really wish Playstation would give trial periods of games, even just an hour to get a feel for it is usually enough. 
 
That being said, it is payday on Friday and this sweetens the deal even more:

I won't lie, I'm a little burned out with this COD already. I am trying to keep it more engaging by switching up weapons, playing around with the flamethrower n such the past week but there are a couple of dreadful maps i.e. Highrise, shipment (this is fine for camo grind but should just be kept away from the main playlist I think).
 
My gripe's not necassarily the game itself, it's fine and typical COD, gunplay is good but my gripes -
- Even now spawns in a game can very quickly still become a clusterfuck, the number of times I have spawned in (particularly with smaller maps) and spawned right in front of someone to be shot in the back is absurd. Then with larger maps, you only need one person to sit in spawn sniping and then you can't get away from it.
- Maps, the MW2 maps are great nostalgicly but they are getting tired. In fact the reintroduction of some of the maps from the last game have for me been one of the best aspects of COD lately and I think there is a gulf between them. The 3 lane design in principle seems simple with newer maps but I think due to that the games flow better, a game of domination tends to result in points swapping either end and provides options for flanking and flipping spawns which is a plus for me.
- Player base, I know there isn't much that can be done here but we do come across some toxic lobbies. I am fine with camping and such generally but when you get a whole lobby doing it then it get's tiresome and those matches become really dull.
 

Id have to agree, however stash house is maybe even more chaotic than shipment.
 

I've only played Stash house once so far. 
It's a pretty cool map, altho the middle building is just so cluttered imo.

Is it just me that really likes the new maps in this game? Greece isn't brilliant but the other ones are pretty decent. Even the new Stash House map isn't too bad and I normally hate tiny maps. They're much better than shit like Black Gold or that bloody Lighthouse map from MW2.

Watched Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick, again. They really are top watches. Fantastic action scenes and I appreciated even more watching them for yet another time.

Free solo is excellent 👍

Everything. I finished the camos on MW3, now I've gone back to fill in the gaps on the MW2 weapons to complete that too. 
 
Dunno what I'll do once I'm done with those, apart from realise what a monumental waste of my life it's been.
 
Still, shiny internet guns. Can't go wrong.
