Playing TDM on Lancang Dam, and sniping for marksman ribbons as I still haven't unlocked that recon expert challenge. So head shots is what I want, and on that map it takes 3-4 headshots to tip over the 250m mark. Start well, get three HS but no ribbon , then get another and get the ribbon. Time is running out a bit but I then get another HS at reasonable distance. It's a tight game and we are into the last 10 kills each but I'm thinking no chance of another ribbon, not enough kills left. I snipping from the Corner nearest the dam hoping to get people spawning at the corner of the map with no building. No joy , score is at 98 when hey presto two guys spawn just were I was hoping. And they manage to line themselves up perfectly, bang double headshot collateral, win the game and get another marksman ribbon as well. If only BF4 had a final killcam.

I would play the shit out of this

It doesn't say how much sooner, but take that Xbox and your early map packs!

Hello guys! So I've been a member for well over a month now, and I thought I made an introduction post but now I think I realized I didn't. Anyhow, I am a 20 year old consistent gamer on Xbox 360 and the Xbox One. I play a variety of games from Call of Duty, to Minecraft, to Titanfall. I do quite a bit as far as social media and making content goes. I make videos for youtube, livestream to twitch, active twitter user, etc. If you would like to check my channel out and show some support, we will be best friends! Here are the links! -SNIP- C'mon man, at least participate first - Dids.

Im from Mississippi, so Central time zone. And I just personally felt the X1 was the better buy first. Like I said, Ill get the PS4 with time. PS4 does not have Titanfall which is extrodinarily fun, which I must add.

Good win for Ryan Giggs today!

As I've posted recently, I was able to finally get my grubby mitts on a GP 100 Match Champion. I had put it on my short list for 2014 as soon as I'd seen it on Ruger's website, but my self control was sorely tempted by other firearms begging me to liberate them from their cold glass enclosures (looking at you Colt Commander and S&W E-Series). I held firm(ish) and am happy with the results. Appearance: Ruger is still not the most refined handgun maker out there. If a stray tool mark, electric pen markings on the inside of the crane, etc. bother you then this may not be the gun for you to purchase. Due to the stainless steel finish, its not easy to photograph, but I do have a light tool mark on the frame in front of the cylinder about 1/4" long. Its not deep, but you can definitely see it at a certain angle. There's also a slight tool mark near the muzzle. The inside of the crane is hand numbered, as are all modern Ruger GP100's. The wooden grip sits higher on the frame than traditional Ruger grips. There is a small gap between the wood and the frame at the very top, perhaps 1/16" of an inch. It appears to be on purpose, as it fits tight everywhere else, and I wonder if its not set back to reduce the chances of it cracking but to still let you get a higher grip on the gun. Either way, not aesthetically pleasing. Here you can see the gap, as well as another tool mark: Now, once you put away your microscope and back up 2', its beautiful. None of the imperfections are visible from any distance, and blessedly there's no big lawyer roll mark on the barrel. There is a very small "read the manual" on the bottom of the barrel, but on the sides it just has the "Ruger GP100 .357" on the right and "Match Champion" on the left. Function: It shoots. It shoots very well. Our qualifications run 5 shot strings for off-duty/backup quals (plainclothes can use off duty guns on duty) so that J-frames and the like don't have to reload in the middle of a string. Headshots from 7 yards using cheap-o UMC .38 standard pressure. I did notice a difference in accuracy between the .38 UMC vs my handloads and factory Blazer Brass .357. At first I thought it was the ammunition, but in hindsight I'm thinking it was me. The .38 was such low recoil, I was shooting it faster and that opened up the groups a bit. The fiber optic front sight is green in most lighting situations, although in very bright light it appears yellow. It is very quick to acquire and is very much oriented toward fast acquisition as opposed to long distance target shooting, as it is a bit bulky. I didn't shoot any further than 25y, and it was easy to keep everything in a half sized torso target, but I'm not sure I'd want to try a Texas Star at much beyond that. The trigger is smooooth. Blindfolded I don't think I could tell the factory slicked Match Champion from my gunsmith slicked Wiley Clapp. Speaking of which, I did a side by side comparison of the two. Yes, there's only 11 holes for each one. I was running low on handloads and with the second string fully loaded I only had two cartridges left so I downloaded each one round. As you can see, the MC is a bit tighter, which is to be expected with the 4" barrel. It was close though, you don't give up much with the 3". I think if I took my time and staged the trigger, the potential accuracy is the same. I know I've shot my WC tighter than that in the past with careful slow aimed fire, but the 4" sight radius lets you line up a little faster and make those hits a little faster. I think I prefer the WC's brass dot front sight, though, it seems to be easier to focus on the target past the sight, the fiber optic can glow so bright as to capture your attention more than the target. I'm sure this can be overcome with familiarization, but it was an issue on my first outing. The second issue to get used to was the grip. Its different. It doesn't feel like a revolver, there's very little flare at the bottom compared to traditional "plow handle" or even Bisley stocks/grips. It starts off thicker at the top and stays that thickness, with a slight palm swell in the center, and it comes up higher on the frame than traditional Ruger grips. Wiley Clapp on the left, MC on the right: That angle shows you the difference in thickness. Calipers put it right about 0.45" inches. My hand puts it at "too thick". With my hand size and grip, with the Wiley Clapp the trigger naturally falls right in the middle of the second pad of my trigger finger. With the Match Champion grips, it moves it to the pad just before the last joint, and as I pull the trigger slides into the joint. It makes it feel heavier and makes it easier to pull off target. It *does* give the webbing of your hand more protection from recoil, so there is a benefit if you have a long range day and are running full house .357's, and if you have bigger hands, you may very well prefer the Match Champion grips. For me I think I'll probably swap them out for more traditionally shaped revolver grips. I also think its why I started the day shooting a bit low: Summary: Overall, I'm very happy with this revolver. With a simple grip change, it will be a fine duty pistol and provide me with a 4" version of my Wiley Clapp. If you shop around, you can pick one up for about $150 more than a standard GP100 4". For that $150 you get a smoother trigger, dovetailed fiber optic sights, weight reduction with the half lug and lightened cylinder, no lawyer roll mark visible on the sides of the barrel, and the sheer sexiness of the Match Champion. That's tough to say no to, if you can find one.

The new title is apparently called Blacksmith.

They've interviewed the captain of the South Korean ferry who said everything was normal until some b@stard dropped a fecking plane in front of them!

A cinematic masterpiece.

Much info about Destiny is going to be released on Monday. Hopefully it'll include beta dates!

Rubberbanding hasn't been too rife on PC but is worse on the Naval Strike severs. They need to address the bullet detection, invisible barriers, dying behind cover and the new and infamous death shield glitch which since it has been discovered; is noticeable on a ridiculous level particularly on the likes of Metro and Locker.

If they can fix hit detection too it will be a decent game again.

Welcome! PPR is like a diary thread and we have a section for them, check some of them out . I think it actually stands for Personal Progress Report, about your gaming, life in general, anything you want to share with people Don't know about links in sigs so I'll leave that to Diddums. We don't have many rules - just try and be civil to people, have a good time and join in the fun

I just can't get excited for multiplayer in a game like this. IDK, I think its a silly thing to tack onto games most times.

I'm guessing 1 thing that we will have to lookout for is other players being arseholes as usual... That player that hacked into the others game and escaped, what was to stop him deciding to just attack the other? Like GTA online, you try do missions with people then there's people who's only goal is to just kill or run you over and annoy other players who are actually doing something productive... It's alright once in a while but when it keeps happening its gets old...

Thanks Tommy. Feeling really good lately, it's funny how your body gets use to eating better. On Easter I had what was always my favorite meal, fried shrimp with ranch, broasted potatoes, butter garlic rolls and a brownie my sister made. Within an hour after eating I felt so damn sluggish and tired I could not believe how bad I felt. I guess since cutting out all the fats and empty calories my body just wasn't use to it anymore.

Time for an update. As of today I have now lost 25.5lbs since getting back on the strict diet and working out. Total weight lose over the past 2 years now is about 140-150lbs total. Still doing lots of bicep and tricep workout routines. Took a measure again today for the first time in a month now and have gained another 1/4" on biceps, so now at exactly 16" biceps. Still doing curls with 50lbs but plan to up that again to 55lbs this weekend because I feel like my muscles are getting use to the 50lbs already as it is not as draining as it felt when I first bumped up to 50lbs. Figured I'd share a few pics (wank bank for Diddums ) Picture on the left is me about 4 years ago at 395/400lb range. Picture on the right was me summer of 2012 at about 245lbs, was pretty happy with that weight but was not happy with lack of muscle mass or tone in my arms or upper body Cant see because of the shirt but biceps were 14.5" in that pic, as you can see my forearms were somewhat thin too. Then this pic from today after the morning workout. 260lbs, 16" biceps, and much more toned upper body now. Still have a ways to go but very happy with the change in my life that has taken place over the past 2-3 years now. Still working on building more strength in the upper body, and still want to drop a few more lbs, or even stay close to this weight but just trade fat for muscle per say, but currently I feel I am in better shape now at 42yrs old than I was at 22yrs old.

I don't. I only miss the lads

After sitting out a majority of Ghosts... I miss CoD

this one made me cringe:

Saw a tweet about this, its probably the game I'll get when I upgrade to ps4.

Think that says something about Microsoft that Bungie has jumped ship to Sony. Also funny how the Xbox fanboys have gone from saying how amazing it will be to now saying it's a cheap Halo rip off. Either way, super excited to get my hands on the beta when it comes out! The jelly Xbone players can enjoy their Titanfall.
