Seconded, ditch SC and reinstate T&A. T&A was removed because Adsense had a little fanny wobble about it, but Adsense jumped off a cliff so we can do whatever the fuck we want, like this: You're all cunts. kthnxbai ❤️

The true Golden FG Crew! Thought it was about 23 Dave....

Well ello there, always nice to see new faces on board, please enjoy your stay and feel free to ask should you need anything

We need some kind of a reference to see which rank is which and the heirarchy? Does this exist? I can't have any of the poors being below me

If you're a member of FG, you're already a champion 😍

I like videos too. Maybe one day I'll actually come out of retirement and make a new one. I miss watching my PC render for billions of hours.

I like having the white theme at work, looks a bit less gamey than the usual ones.

No, that'll be butt plugs in that case🤣 Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Welcome aboard Via the FG App

A game store near me sells old systems, most are rebuilt by the owner. He is selling a few Dreamcasts for $70, and I was thinking of getting one. I was curious what you all have seen out there as far as refurbed pricing for one.

Yeah, those things were interesting but I don't think developers found much use for them in the end. Bit strange at the time that a 128bit console would have some gimmick like that and there just weren't much use for them other than a storage device.

Makes me feel young!😂 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/stories-44862968/silver-snipers-the-gaming-team-with-an-average-age-of-67

Soul Caliber on the DreamCast was possibly one of the best games ever on that console. The world quests were so well made. A multiplayer game that I loved as well but only played split screen was Outtrigger. Look it up if you can. What I never got around to trying properly was the Visual Memory Cards. They looked like Tamagochis which back in the day were like golddust.

It is true. They added it back. Should've had it in the first place. My PMA pulls me through. At the end of the day, its just a game. They fucked up and now its back. You can either moan about it or just play it and enjoy we get stuff we wanted back. This game has so much potential because of the easy access to it and whatever anyone says its still a solid shooter. And PvE at that. If we could just have more activities with larger fireteams than 3 this would be amazing. Back to bounties. They need to be harder and worth more. Its still 'pick them up and don't think about them, they'll be completed anyway'. They know this and I'm hoping the world vendors get bounties like Forsaken new vendors.

You'd probably like this as well. Similar style

I was going to post in the GTA thread, but it goes a bit wider than just that game. I absolutely love the community we have here. I love the people, and we have a fun. The biggest frustration I have is there just aren't enough people. We don't have enough members to get a regular 6 stack for OW for example. I'm thinking we should maybe try and pull new membership in? Maybe advertise on LFG's etc. I appreciate some people are having a bit of down time or whatever, but the primary purpose of a gaming community should be to bring people together to play games. Our PC gaming community is pretty weak sauce too, and we have so many people with PC's.

When I go for long runs, I'll put this on repeat and listen to it 3 or 4 times in a row lol.

The irony of this being that I bump a thread every single Friday on OcUK to get folks to join us for GTA races, we already have quite a few who do and there are more coming over time. We can't then move the goalposts on the day it's meant to happen and also move the chat system, that's too many hurdles and a lot of "meh, fuck it" will ensue, so although changing games would probably be a good thing, we need to come up with something else and cast it in stone with enough notice. I don't want to recruit folks only for them to come online and we're all playing a game they don't have, or they can't hear us because we're on a different chat server. Here's today's bump: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/posts/31973712/ I also post on Barryboys (they want you to go play CoD with them @crispymorgan btw) and if I find more places to recruit, I will. If we want more members then we need to ensure that they come online to a community they can play with.

No, I'm an exec now, I have business cards and everyfink

Do some work, yer slacker!! 😂😊

You know I'm with you. I'll keep it short - the irony of this is that we need current FGers to get behind these awesome rally calls and do what you've said. To do that, they need to interact. Here. Other FG places. But they gotta stop being lazy. We forget here sometimes and thats cool. Life happens. But this place deserves lots of love so people need to remember that. Effort and quality ratio of FG stuff to active members is disproportionate. I'd love that to change. I think we all would, right? So yeah. Get on the case yourself dude and tell them all! ❤

What would you say the average age of the Golden FG Destiny crew are?? If you’re talking about me, Rodders, Mazz, Gary and DaveyDave ....probably about 55?

Funny. That's exactly what I visioned when I read Phil's post 😂

Welcome and enjoy your time here.

cool! I am not that familiar with 5th ed. So I am unsure how they handle XP for non-combat stuff. which means ignore everything I posted above about XP lol

Our 2nd session of D&D didn't feature me, as I was in a foul mood. But they played my character for me and I'm up to level 3. I've just read the synopsis of the night and I'm a little astonished that they managed to introduce a T-Rex into the forgotten realms. Not sure about that. My character Makkno spent the evening shooting off fireballs apparently. Synopsis provided by GM here: "Nalsheen (Paul) down to his last gold pieces signed up at the same army recruitment station. A dwarf name Laurel (or Loriel because she’s worth it) picked Nalsheen, a half ork and a tiefling to embark on a mission to investigate rumours of a drow encampment near South Ridge (where the cave is). They left a few hours after the other team dispatched to this location. When they arrived at South Ridge a weird magical disturbance was emanating from the mines. This had drawn in 4 large 7 foot ant like creatures called Ankhegs. 2 of them had made bee-line for Marcellus standing at a small, 5 foot entrance to a mysterious chamber. The other 2 scuttled out into the main town. Forced into a tight space the Ankhegs were at a disadvantage when attempting to attack Marcellus, who was ready to strike the minute they pushed into the chamber. Matthias protected Marcellus with sanctuary, whilst Slade charged in both swords drawn. He managed to seriously injure the beast, but was seriously wounded in its lumbering counter attack. Makkno hurled fireballs into the creature and Marcellus struck it with his long sword nearly killing the creature. Meanwhile in the town the creatures dashed to engage the nearby Captain Hayder allowing Nalsheen to slink into cover preparing an ambush. Slade, seriously injured retreated from the beast firing off an arrow that bounced harmlessly off the creature’s hide. With a second Ankheg clambering through the entrance Matthias ran to support Marcellus. Together they managed to hold it at bay, whilst Makkno killed the beast that had forced its way in. Outside Hayder charged into the two ankhegs missing with his fireball but mortally wounding the first in a flurry of blows. Nalsheen struck from the shadows finishing off the beast. After managing to overcome the remaining beasts (and levelling up) the silver liquid became calm and the magical aura of the crystals returned. Hayder lead Nalsheen into the mines where they discovered a newly unearthed burrow. Upon reaching the chamber Hayder ordered the team to investigate the nearby drow settlement whilst he and Laurel secured this clearly valuable site. The team began by investigating the secret passage discovered at the back of the chamber. After several minutes of squeezing through the narrow passage they came to a fork in the path. The right path smelled fresher so they ventured in this direction. They discovered an exit from the mountain range with a single lit torch. To their right was South Ridge and in the distance they could see a forest about a day’s travel away. They decided to conceal themselves in the mountains overlooking this entrance and wait to see if anyone came or went. After a few hours a dark elf mage and 2 soldiers emerged hurrying to the forest. The team stealthily followed but lost sight of them. Nalsheen tried to climb a tree. He failed, falling out and injuring himself. A bit flustered, he tried again. Clearly out of practice he slipped injuring himself further. Refusing to give up he finally managed to climb the tree. He spotted a number of broken trees and huge footprints in the forest, quickly identifying these as T-Rex prints. They followed a trail the drow had left which led them out the forest near to the coast. In the far distance was the large port city of Maspa. They ventured back into the enchanted forest. Losing their bearings they stumbled upon a clearing with a small brook running down into a rocky hole. In the distance the T-Rex could be seen scratching his head on a tree. Despite some reservations raised by Matthias, the team rested briefly near the edge of the clearing. They were interrupted when the head of the Tyrannosaur loomed through the trees. Nalsheen remembering the bard song, ‘park of the Jurassic’ lit a candle and threw it into the distance. The T Rex distracted by the flying candle gave pursuit. The team ran and dived into the hole landing in a soggy pile of hay. They’d discovered a storage room with a fresh water inlet. They searched the room finding some rations and water. Marcellus tried to open the nearby door stealthily. He failed alerting the 2 D&D playing drow inside. They sprung into combat, but Matthias, smashed one into pieces with his magically imbued mace. Marcellus charged in, missing the drow with his first attack, but cutting his head clean off with the second. The noise alerted drow in the next room. Matthias ran into the nearby bunk room to deal with the surprised sleeping drow. After a brief fight they dispatched the drow. Searching the mess hall, they discovered an ominous light looming out from an open door. Makkno’s detect magic identified a necromantic presence. Makkno, Nalsheen, and Slade snuck into the room where a drow mage was working on the corpse of a dark elf. They wasted no time in sneak attacking and knocking him unconscious. They tied him up and searched the room whilst he regained consciousness. There were multiple dead drow bodies in the room, an altar to the spider queen Lolth and a quarter staff in the corner that Matthias nabbed. When the mage came to they started to question him about a mysterious black crystal he’d been carrying." I'd day the experience is a bit too focused on combat right now but hopefully that's going to settle down.

That beat was in perfect sync with your dude in your signature 😂

Completely agree, you should be able to unlock some skins or badges or anything really.

Gutted to hear that about Black Panther but its probably cos of what you've said how you feel on blockbusters more so. I'm still waiting for it to be on Sky. Cba to stream it.

Its more the help that I need and FG needs. Having 'Champions' to help share news for certain games helps the overall site. Otherwise, its just a couple of us finding stuff unnaturally and creating threads to keep the place ticking over. These guys have an open pass to help engagement and activity on things Overwatch (and i know theres tons of stuff we could add) and its only one section. I really don't think its that hard but i must be missing something. Totally agree with trophies and medals though for everyone is more important - that gives everyone the chance to feel good about FG stuffs.

Agreed. I was trying to find time to do an infographic but not had chance yet. Lemme see what i can do over the next few days...

I think you need a feel good gift Leigh ( @GazzaGarratt ) . Buy yourself a few beers for tonight's races, you've earned them!

I forgot about Special Effect, that gets another vote from me too.

Well Naereet beat me so I have to quit the internet. Lovely knowing you all ❤️

I think you could find one a little cheaper on eBay @Sennex. I've still got my original one but if I hadn't I would've took a punt on one there. Guarantees are good but most old consoles tend to be pretty solid and I've never bought any of my consoles with a guarantee. What I would say is you may just need to invest in another aerial or maybe even an older TV. Mine works currently but it sometimes can flip out on screen which I believe is to do with the TV more so. You have to get Crazy Taxi if you do btw.

https://charitynerds.org/ http://childsplaycharity.org/ https://www.extra-life.org/ http://www.ablegamers.org/ All very notable and wonderful charities, generally targeted towards video game events and groups. Personally my Rainbow 6 Organization is planning to host an event to one of the four mentioned above. So either are a wonderful choice.

I don't have any suggestions, but I like this idea. [emoji106] Via the FG App

Seems like you get 4 Vanguard tokens per bounty. Not much but some help for that rank 50 grind

We got rid of tits and arses and replaced with with politics which is basically just a load of dicks and c**ts😎

Did someone say T&A? Yes, please. I have zero problems with dropping the politics corner. I suppose people could post about that in their PPRs if they want to. Those aren't visible to non-members, correct? Via the FG App

Here’s my opinion not that it matters but the easiest was to piss someone off is to talk politics and religion. I say get rid of it. If you want to talk politics go to Facebook like the rest of the thousands of twats that complain about it on a daily basis. I don’t nor do I ever go to that sub. It’s probably been years and mostly to read Spectras foil hat theories,sorry I found them interesting,didn’t agree with them but enjoyed reading them. I agree with Bart that I feel like it doesn’t have a place here. It’s always started more arguments than done good . To respond on what Phil said,that is the only sub that needs moderation as none of the others have issues with people getting their feeling hurt Oh and to agree with Bart TA>Politics

Yea, thats about what I was thinking as well. I need to find some roms next and start burning them.

But then I'll cancel when I get the code, obvs.

If you're thinking of picking this game up but unsure of what weapon you want to use check out this video. It was sent to me by a buddy who is very into MHW. It will compare weapon types to games you might have played in the past. (Ex. If you like Dark Souls you would like xx)

Funnily enough, the previous week where it seemed to be cancelled, everyone ended up on and playing anyway. Sometimes that's how the cookie crumbles.[emoji41] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Not a chance I'll get this unless there is some kind of massive change in the industry. I've reached a point where I'm pretty much going to stop spending my hard earned money on triple bullshit games companies. I have plenty of games to keep me occupied for years. Other than Fallout 76 and maybe Red Dead I don't see myself supporting the madness any more. I need to save money for a new GPU and not buying games seems the bestxeay to save. Plus, I need to catch up on games I bought in sales. On console I still have Last of us and Horizon to play.on PC there's a queue and I just started Warframe...so yeah...fuck em all...for the time being....end of ramble[emoji6] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
