Nah mate, you're thinking of Crown Green Bowls....I play Lawn Bowls! https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/feb/07/drunken-behaviour-spoils-genteel-sport-of-crown-green-bowling

We’re even doing this at our bowls club, but at that level, it’s basically common sense

It's done, I was waiting to see if I got more clips but as we may be racing again tomorrow night I'll get it uploaded and posted tonight

Morning FG, I thought I'd post a what would you do regarding a potential PC upgrade as I have a dilemma. My current PC is a m-itx build; Intel 3770 (not a K), 8Gb DDR3 1600Mhz RAM, GTX 1050Ti, 60Gb SSD for OS. I use it for gaming but also for Photoshop, 3D modelling and rendering and a little video editing (hopefully more when I pull my finger out - sorry Lee ) It is worth noting that I only game at 1920x1200 at 60fps and I'm reluctant to change my monitor as it is a colour accurate monitor. I was looking at around a £1000 for an upgrade and I have been looking at building a whole new system, Ryzen 5 1600, 16Gb DDR4 3000Mhz or 3200Mhz RAM, 256Gb SSD, GTX 1060 or 1070 and upgrading to Windows 10. The other option is put that money in to a new PSU and GPU (probably 1080 maybe 1080ti) and maybe try to find 16Gb RAM for my current system. So to the dilemma; If I stick with my current m-itx system then I am quite limited in that I'd need to get creative with my HDD placement to fit bigger GPU's in my case. I've run out of sata ports on my MB which is an annoyance so potentially could change MB too though this would require a new case (though if I change to an ATX case this cost could be offset for lack of a better word as the case could be used for builds in the future). All the non-gaming stuff I do loves RAM so it would be nice to change to 16Gb but being m-itx I have only 2 DIMM's so it means a wholesale swap rather than adding more sticks unless I do go for the change in MB too. I would like to change to Windows 10 too for the reasons above and would like a bigger SSD while I'm at it. On top of all this, I'd also have to get a new PSU. So basically; sticking with my current system actually means new ram, new GPU, new PSU, new SSD and new OS with maybe a new case and new motherboard. This big pro would be a nice performance increase to everything but it feel like a lot of effort and change to still be running on a 6 year old CPU, EOL RAM etc. The GPU would be overkill for effectively 1080p60 gaming but the 3D side of things is GPU accelerated so I would see some benefits. A whole new Ryzen based system would be an upgrade but having looked at numerous benchmarks the single threaded performance and even multithreaded, a Ryzen 5 1600/1600x doesn't score much higher (if at all) over my 3770. However a whole new system does come some advantages, it is all newer hardware; DDR4 RAM is much faster than DDR3, AMD have said they will support the AM4 socket for a while (2019 or 2020 I think they said?). Even with a lower GPU in this build I should still easily hit 60Hz of my monitor on high settings but in 3D and rendering the small gain in CPU performance would be offset but the loss in GPU performance. It seems illogical to me to upgrade to a whole new Ryzen based system for very little gains in performance but it seems equally as illogical to go through that much change and be on 'old' hardware. So FG WWYD?

This was the only mobile game I played but I stopped a while back because of how huge it was and when I'm on the crapper at work I quickly have time to check here more than anything else. I do miss the clan wars though. We had such fun for a period of time on there. Who's in the clan still and I am still in it?

They stack up to 5?! Jeeeeeez... No wonder I kept seeing them pop up everywhere in the end game each match we played. It's kinda funny seeing them pop out of nowhere. One second your lining up a shot at someone and then the next second they've got a massive metal tower.

They stack UP to 5

So I got to try these today. Seems like they come in different rarities which gives different forts. They are also stackable. At one point a dude in my squad had 2. Don't know if they stack higher. Pretty useful, not a gamechanger, but nice to have tbh. With the vendingmachines needing high amounts of materials these can be very handy to have.

Yep think the rewards go to all who take part so just attempt one of the easy challenges [emoji106] Via the FG App

Ah unlucky, starting off is always good fun though. Hopefully we can get you some extra goodies with the clan games.

It is much more a horde game mode than the uprising which was more an objective/payload match. I don’t think it is anything bad though as it gives some variation as PvP is all about objectives and payloads. Playing last night for a couple of hours and it is a lot of fun. I really like the way it is done with moving along then the horde at the end though the difficulty steps up so much at the horde. I like the new ‘characters’ too, the sniper seems quite similar to widow but the Reinhardt/Bastion love child and Tracer/Genji assassins are something different. Though I do think the assassins do a little too much damage or have a little too much health. We tried both the story and any hero modes and managed to get it completed on legendary. We tried the hardest difficulty (expert?) and that is difficult. I do think with some more practice and a better idea of which characters to use the hardest any hero is possible.

God I love seeing Barca get their asses handed to them. Well played Roma

I could try it, I played a long time ago and stopped at TH7 or 8, because I hated paying for walls.

I uninstalled it quite some time ago. But I've been looking for a phone game to play. I'll reinstall and check it out. Via the FG App

Just to let everyone know they’ve added clan games to this, so every week there are tasks that you can complete to earn rewards. It’s actually quite good fun now. There’s not many of us playing at the moment but if anyone, old or new, wants to jump in. If we get enough, we could also start doing the clan wars again.

@GazzaGarratt Lee, after chatting to you last night about PC's it got me thinking about RAM. I was planning on going for 2 sticks but never hurts to keep my options open. Looking in your PC thread, this is the RAM Phil linked you to; https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01DPSQOO4/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1515181570&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=crucial+ballistix+sport+8gb&dpPl=1&dpID=41dqpRoIRaL&ref=plSrch Is this the stick you bought? Did you get the 2400Mhz or 2666Mhz? With the exception of Star Citizen how are you finding 8Gb for everything else? Of course I can't also ignore the most important question did you go for grey, red or white? white or grey look best but everyone knows red stuff goes faster

If it was me, I’d change the memory to 16gb and do nothing else until you can afford to make complete step change that’s really noticeable. You’re happy with the monitor and presumably keyboard and mouse? If so, James recently dropped £1500 (?) on a good rig...save a bit more, maybe get some birthday donation dosh, etc and wait until you can afford the next level up because a grand is a lot to drop for a small improvement IMO
