@Greboth really outdid himself, I never even knew he did it himself! You guys really are amazing, thank you all once again xxx

Found another Rik Mayall one for you @phil bottle

They will always get flak especially in this day and age for their antics and whilst I'm tired of seeing the same stereotypcial hate being banded around at them; they fucking deserve every bit of it. This wasn't a case of time constraints, budget restrictions or technical limitations - this was a calculated deception of continuous lies for three years leading up to release. Even Sony called them out on their whole strategy and even went against their own policies to refund angry users months down the line. Sean Murray 12 days before the delayed launch still stated to various media domains that the game could be played with other players online but the chances of meeting them was virtually non-existent. Day one and this was already debunked as complete bullshit and it was clear he talked up a feature that didn't exist hoping that nobody would ever discover it to be nonsense. It was then proven that the game was played locally with only the data packet that was transmitted online which means it is technically impossible for players to meet, see or communicate with each other. He even dropped at text at the 11th hour before launch telling people not to go into the experience if they were looking for a multiplayer one - this was after the game was heavily pre-ordered and the tight media embargoes were lifted. That was just one of a catalogue of blatant lies. After Murray was exposed barely 24 hours after release; he disappeared from the media for months not to be seen until January. There are also so many other allegeded features that was talked about or he answered 'yes' to in his many biased media interviews and virtually none were ever seen or talked about again. This wasn't a case of them being simply omitted - they clearly didn't exist and HG had no intention of producing them. Even if his back-catalogue of BS features did ever make it into the game years later; that's not what people paid for at launch a year ago and it's not an early access listed title either. He always talked about not wanting to spoil or give too much away but it's clear why these were his motivations. I do think many people did perhaps get a bit over-hyped and carried away and the media were far too generous in swallowing everything Murray said rather than questioning each detail and asking for some evidence rather than a simple 'yes'. Just his body langauge alone was a dead giveaway for me. This was definitely worse than anything Peter Molyneux, Dean Hall, EA and even Ubisoft have ever pulled. I usually champion British-based develoeprs but this lot have brought utter shame and embarrassment to the industry and let a lot of people down on a level I have never ever seen before and that's against the usual AAA suspects of today. Not even Ubisoft have ever sunk to this borderline-illegal practice.

This came up on my facebook feed today, god I miss Rik Mayall

You're welcome dude, couldn't give you gifts without something being Roadhog related could we

The Young Ones The Comic Strip Present series (particularly Bad News (think Spinal Tap) and the follow up More Bad News) Filthy Rich and Catflap The New Statesman Bottom (which I saw live) The Dangerous Brothers Flash heart in Blackadder and so much more make Rik my favourite ever comedic actor. I hadn't seen this advert before so massive thanks Lee[emoji5] Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

I read at the time what the game was promising and laughed my arse off. It was even mooted as competition to Star Citizen at one point. SC only goes into Beta this year and it's been worked on for 4 years plus already. That's with much more people working on it and massive pockets of cash. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Can you guys shout up and tell me what you want organising over the next month. GTA, Destiny, OW, Rainbow, black ops 3, Cards Against Humanity, or whatever. Just let me know and I'll look into arranging nights. Alternatively, if you want to have a go at making an event, feel free and just ask if you get stuck.

nice! thanks for the update Lee.

Loved Lord Flasheart!

Macron stock come once a month so every size bar Large is coming this week so they are then embroidered and personalised. Once I have those I'll work on getting them out ASAP. Unfortunately the 10th August is next stock delivery so Large will come then. I appreciate your patience everybody. Hopefully I can learn about what's involved and work this into a Merchandise section when I get chance to look at that. I really hope they look awesome in the end and you enjoy them.
