I absolutely agree with you. Like them or not we are missing members like McNasty and Spectra. Hell even Auptyk. No one really starts threads. If someone does it's the same three or four people that respond. It's been a bad year for gaming. Not very many good games. Not many games at all.

I like both of the above posts by Steve. Couldn't agree more about the Like Button and I'm guilty as well. There are plenty of posts that I have just liked and not posted in and that's not how it used to be. I think we should try it.

I don't use FB so this forum is all I got I remember the time before MW3 came out. Forum was buzzing and peoples ppr's were full of action (spamming ) and I could sit on the forum for several hours each day

Oh and also. That "like" button here on this site is killing participation as well if you ask me. Use to if someone posted something cool then you had to reply to their post to let them know. Which in turn got them to reply back to you and others joined in and activity went up. Now with the "like" button all you do is click "like" and that's it. No reply, no conversation, no activity level. Yet again another thing from FB that is killing sites (the like button). IMO that like button should be removed from the site if you want to try to boost activity. Just my .02

Of course it's has,after I received two legendaries today the turned into a green and a blue. Guess he thought he would troll me one more time

Slideshow of pics from the weekend

Just got back about 4 hrs ago from probably one of the best fishing trips ever, just a great trip. Best friendship, great weather, awesome fish caught, you name it. Have tons of pics to resize & edit before I post but had to post this one because for 20 + yrs now I have tried to catch a 20" river brown trout on a fly, and today I finally did it, so had to post this pic from this morning! Will post more soon as I edit them, but this if from this morning (Sunday morn).

It has seemed really quiet lately but I think this is more down to people feeling less motivated to post and contribute because of the lack of games on the new systems. I wasn't on here in the old Call of Duty days but I can imagine the place was rampant and everyone playing together on their respective systems, sharing tips, tricks and just having a laugh. Late 2013-2014 so far has been an absolutely pitiful year for gaming which I believe to be a major factor. COD Ghosts was fucking shit, Battlefield was broken for months and the next gen launch was the equivalent of a tumbleweed disco in Borneo. When COD was in its prime years ago; the internet was absolutely buzzing; me and friends would play for hours after work and you could spend ages chatting about the game the next day. I think COD going shite/stale has left a gaping hole in gaming and the lack of other games on the next gen has been very disappointing this last year although it was expected. Thankfully, despite me not being too excited; Advanced Warfare could unite the COD community again. There are plenty of other games on the horizon too. Could really rejuvenate gaming and the forum. It's not just this site that has gone quiet; major YouTube channels have collapsed into oblivion since the next gen changeover and COD Ghosts being awful. It's just a really downbeat time for gaming and people have been left deflated this year with a lack of titles and ones that showed considerable promise; being ultimately disappointing and over-hyped by marketing and media. I don't use social media these days and other forums I have no interest in or quit last year. This place has a great community and when its thriving; it's just fantastic and wonderful to be a part of. People are still floating around as I've seen various different names signed in but there is a certain depleted feel in the industry but I'm sure things will pick up. I've seen a few people have had personal issues to deal with and others have been heavily committed to work. Rich is also struggling to come to terms with how useless Man Utd are these days too; so those are probably other reasons for why its very quiet at times. Next month is a really exciting time for the industry so we'll see how it goes. Maybe in a few weeks, we'll look back and wonder why we were worried

I need to watch this, I have soooo much tv stored up ready to watch its unreal... I need a week in the life of a dole dosser!

Patch 1.0.2 just went live Update 1.0.2 - Patch Notes Oct 1 2014 Created by Destiny Dev Team Summary: With this patch, we address some widely-discussed concerns with how Engrams are earned and claimed. Strikes have become more rewarding, and the rewards gained from them are more predictable. Also affected is the rotation of maps that appear in the Crucible. Cryptarch Legendary (purple) engrams will always produce a Legendary quality item or higher Note: Legendary engrams that exist in your inventory will change to Rare quality items when the patch is applied. However, decoding these engrams will still produce the same results as beforeRare (blue) engrams will always produce a Rare quality item or higher Chance for Legendary gear increasedMaterials: Ascendant Shards and Ascendant Energy promoted to Legendary quality (from Rare quality) Rewards Rare (Blue) and Legendary (Purple) Engram drops added to the potential rewards for: Vanguard: Tiger Strike PlaylistDaily Heroic Missions (first time per day)Weekly Heroic Missions (first time per week)Known issues When selecting a higher difficulty for daily missions, XP Bonus not show in the reward displayYou will still get the XP bonus, you just won't see it in the UI Crucible Reduced time limit on Bastion and First Light in Control and Clash from 15 to 12 minutes, bringing them in line with non-vehicle maps in those playlists Lowered weighting on Bastion and First Light in Control and Clash so they appear less often in those playlists

Think most people are playing silent hill. Was some action after Destiny came but seems to have dried up. Don't think we'll ever come back to the action it was in the good ol days. Only a handful have active ppr's and not much traffic in them. Maybe it will get better when COD comes out but I doubt it will last that long tbh. I know I'm not getting it so not much help from me in that section. I think the main reason is that not as many people play together anymore, like it was in the past. And not that many good games out yet so less to talk about. I miss the old days..

Neymar is unreal! Great dribbling as to be expected and he makes a lot of chances. Im having a wee bit trouble finishing sometimes though but I think thats more down to me. Have to get used to how the shooting is a bit more just. Thiago Silva is one of those players I dont really notice on the pitch but I'm conceding very few goals and feel solid at the back so must be decent.

So I got tired of being bullshitted: (4-1-2-1-2) Remy - Lukaku Fabregas Cazorla - Sterling Gerrard Moreno - Onuoha - Chirches - Sagna Szczesny

Who knew that a "heavy" guy in a leotard dancing would have that effect on you
