So, I thought it might be an idea to discuss a regular spot to add to the calendar for us all to meet up and game. Not everyone will be able to make it every week but it would be good to have a regular night ingrained into our collective consciousness. It will be tricky for some of the guys in the states for midweek but even if there's a mostly UK midweek meet up I'm happy to play at the weekend too. I'd like to get a gist of what people can and can't do, plus the games they have at their disposal. I'll provide mine below. We have a few more of us now able to play on PC and it'd be great if we can get something started. If there's enough interest and (heaven forbid) a clash of choice of games, we can even put game selections on rotation, or work it out in a manner acceptable to all. Phil's availability. Mon-Friday: 9pm UK time to 1am UK time. Thursdays are best but any day is usually fine for me if I give Mina advance notice. Weekend: I'm available anytime and into the small hours so let's say 1pm UK time to 4am UK time. Games I could play, in no particular order: DayZ (once the impending update hits) Arma 3 PUBG Overwatch 7 Days to Die (once the new patch hits though I can be tempted before patch too) Star Citizen (not until at least Diddums and Lee are ready to go, otherwise it's just me I think) The Division Rainbow 6 Sea of Thieves, Black Flag was better, Mincecraft Escape From Tarkov League of Legends Battlefield 4 or 1 or even 3 lol XCom 1 or 2 I have more I could list so don't be shy if I haven't mentioned a game you'd like to play.

It’s the sort of behaviour that got their ancestors a ticket to Australia in the first place

Fixed that for you!

This is huge news in sport and so they should be hung and quartered by the press. What was more disappointing was the news conference admitting it all. It's like they just didn't care. 'Yep, we planned it. Ah well, sorry. Won't happen again.' If this was England we'd be all over them. Massive repercussions in store for them.

Modern Warfare 2 Remastered without the multiplayer is like a salad without lettuce.

Hi all, just as an example how would a picture of upcoming stuff work with an event backing them up? I could also then post it on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Would it get you interested and joining in? Just an idea and it's okay to say it wouldn't btw. Need geniune feedback. Cheers. Via the FG App

This is pointless with MP, sort out the MP and i'll think about it.

The Darkness 2 free on HB for 48 hours https://www.humblebundle.com/store/the-darkness-ii

They’re gonna get creamed when they get home....if they dare go back!

Good idea, terrible font.

It is good to have F1 back It is hard to judge from one race but it seems Mercedes still have the edge over the others. Ferrari looked strong too, especially race pace though it is hard to say how much Hamilton was cruising once out front. Red Bull, I think they are there at the front but it was far from a great weekend for them. McLaren looked good too though Alonso’s 5th was slightly flattered by both Haas retiring. Up until that point though Haas were the bug surprise to me. They looked good in testing but appear to be the best of the rest at the moment. Their performance has been up and down in the past so we’ll see over the next couple races.

Tom Clancy Ghost Recon Wildlands on sale in Steam for 16 quid, might give it a go.

First on solo I had no idea what I was doing. Second night on with @phil bottle and it is brilliant fun. Got shot of a cannon, drank grog and got sick. Then put in a bucket and then chucked it over Phil. Twas hilarious. Did some voyages (quests/missions) to kill some skeletons and then had to find the right island for some treasure. Dug it up and brought it home for to collect our gold. Did well not to run into any other scurvy crew so maybe next time will go out searching for the big ships and see if we can take them on. I can see already where the initial criticism has come to the game about content but I don't think it's made to grind for 7 hours a day to to do the voyages as quick as you can. It's a real relaxing game to play and sailing on the seas looks great. As the ships have a few things going on, it really makes a significant difference if you play in a party. Playing solo I think you'll struggle to enjoy the game as you get some reward out of taking roles such as lookout or checking the map whilst others sail the ship and another changes the speed of and direction of your sail. I wouldn't say its worth the full £50 from an objective viewpoint, however for the FG value of playing with people here i'm definitely thinking it was still a good purchase. Looking forward to trying crossplay at some point with a few of Xbox people to see how that runs. Oh, and being able to play musical instruments together is hilarious. Definitely grabbing a beer or 7 when we go sailing again.

@Ilagbillions, @GazzaGarratt @DiddumsYou’ll never guess who just joined FG... Billions tell us a bit about yourself. A/S/L? Lol

This is an epic compilation

That is awesome, done

Yeah it's hard carrying you lot so best I play solos from now on

Good build. The i5 and 1070 combo is solid.

Very keen! Nice one @The3rdWalker

That's a decent PC you have on your hands there It's the worst time in living memory right now for self building, though I see some of those 1080ti cards slowly starting to drop in price. I'm going to hang back a bit before I upgrade.

Grrrr! Must be a Madonna fan

More than welcome to if you have time Rob. I didn't like the font either - it was the only thing that looked half decent on Microsoft Presentation This is more of an example of what we could do that I knocked up in an hour so template for the week and month would be the right way to go if people are keen on it?

I can redo the entire thing as a template if needed.

Fuck yes! 😂

My availability is horrendous but I hope to join in at some stage as I don't get much of a chance to game with people these days due to work/life commitments. I just spent a fortune on a new PC so I need to get some use out of it

That's exactly what i said. I'm not too keen on the colours either but the idea i absolutely love!

I have it on the PS4 too though I haven’t played it since getting in on PC. There’s no reason to not play it on both though.

This is the shit. This is indeed the shit.

BBC NFL show is twice a week so series link both of them....the chemistry of those three is great!

I'm a Redskins man myself, have been since NFL was first shown on uk tv years ago. However Jacksonville is not a bad call, as they are the most committed to the uk, having played here once a year for a good while now, and also they are likely to be pretty good this year which also helps. They have a Wembley game again this year, so even if you don't see them live you can watch them on TV at normal hours. But make sure you out the bbc's NFL show on series record, it is awesome.

The addition to See of Theeves is most lol worthy And as I'm on the subject, I still think Skull and Bones when it comes out will be a superior game for us to play. I just like C of feeves a lot personally

I would say just watch the season and see who you like watching, we have no real allegiances, I just find teams I like and don't like for no real reason and base who I'd like to win a particular game on purely that. It's nice not to have "a team"

@Sennex @TigerBurge @jSyn66 @Capn_Underpants @Commander_Undies @igotmollywhopped @Rico @cyberninja2601 @SensaiNemesis @Rumelylady @VGon_BGon48 @lepercolony and anyone else from over the seas, please tag them.

We’ll have to see who’s around in what areas. I really talk to most of the brits but would like to have the same fun they do here state side.
