Well, what an awesome day people. An amazing day, new people to meet, tons of games to play, banter to be had. The pictures below hopefully show some of the fun that went on - later in the night on the guys went to the lobby area where it was a little quieter and I was thinking it was a good time to get the couple of awards done so people could enjoy some more games...and then Rich led the way to explain that I would hate the next bit, which was you guys to say thanks to me. I was took back as you'd think, I want to make you guys feel special not myself! [emoji23] However, the kind words that you all said to me meant the world. They always do. The presents were far too overwhelming (I still gladly took them![emoji23]) but know as I look at my first ever Funko Pops and have a cuppa in my new awesome mug and pyjamas I'll always know I have the best friends I could ever wish for. So now that was out of the way I could give out the awards to the people that were in attendance. I created 8 awards for the first ever FG Awards. I'm hoping you can see why they were created and I'm hoping you all will give us lots of feedback of which really work and which ones that are missing - surely this is just the beginning [emoji6] First up is was Young FGer of the Year. I want to recognise the younger generation that where it all starts. A person that has actually helped some of us out on certain missions and I've seen first hand that he will certainly be MLG if his Dad sorts out the best gaming PC he can when he scores ridiculously amazing goals on Rocket League. Young FGer of the Year - ajay--1997 (Alex Morgan) Next was FG Noobie of the Year. I wanted an award to recognise new people are just as important as existing FGers. This guy whilst knowing that he isn't used to being the most extrovert person, joined this year after seeing what the fun was like on a FG GTA Friday. Since then he's really helped the site with recommendations, new interesting posts, offered PC games up for free and got involved in new events like Gran Turismo timetrials and I know that's even harder to do when you're new and suffer from anxiety moments quite a lot. I'm proud to call this guy a genuine mate and brilliant to meet him in the flesh. FG Noobie of the Year - @Spacedeck (Harold) The next one had to be in there. We call out Guardian Down a lot for people that do genuine funny moments and get stuck in a right mess when we're playing. Dying a lot is frustrating, especially playing with Diddums, and you'd think he'd always win this, but this guy has made jumping off a cliff into death a personal achievement to take the title off Didds - something I or you guys thought we'd never see. His 34 minute failure on Destiny's Raid Lair jumping puzzle wins it. FG Guardian Down Award - @Kemp210 (James) We have to have one for the joker of the pack. One that this year has been the most annoying person you'll ever meet, talk to, play with...I could go on. But the night is never dull when he jumps in the party. I don't think he could ever be not funny either (hard to say, I know). From my point of view when you hear a chat party change it's vibe immediately when he says "Hellooooooo", you can't buy that. FG Archbishop of Banterbury - @Diddums The next one is to recognise top skills that we are lucky enough to see here and able to play with the guy. There's some amazing players here, ones that I could only wish that I had the same reactions and button memory moments as them. This guy has without a doubt made Destiny his own and not only pushed his limits to Solo a few of the most difficult challenges within it, he has supported most people on Destiny at FG getting unique and hard rewards. Rewards that if he wasn't here then we may now have the chance to get them. I always know the raid will get beat if he's in the squad. FG Skills Award - @Horrible_Hector Next up is FGer of the Year. We should recognise great support and all round amazing things that an individual does around here this year, especially around their busy work life which he deserves after nearly losing his job last year. Whilst I'm a positive guy, I can have my down moments but this guy can keep the place rocking and help out where he can. He given an enormous amount of ideas to the community, supported with donations and ideas for the Feel Good Fund, he's spent countless hours on getting people's videos and putting them together to make fun moments for us all to look back on. You can't beat making memories - and he ain't a bad Junkrat either. If he wasn't here, we wouldn't have half the stuff going on. He really is top draw. FGer of the Year - @tronic44 The last 2 are going to be the first entries into the Hall of Fame. Something that it's right for us to acknowledge key people that have supported through thick and thin and are a real asset to FG. If these people weren't here, the place wouldn't be the same. The first is a true legend that has done countless acts of generosity and tried to find many ways to help people here, and also keep the place alive. Even though his work may get in the way a lot more than he likes, he's always around and sharing info where possible. The guy has a huge heart and is always there to talk to for any gaming or personal life advice. That's huge in a world where people need that person to listen sometimes. The next one is a gent and an absolute star. His kindness never ceases to amaze me, he has the patient of a saint and will always get involved where he can. I don't even realise he could be old enough to be most people's dad here but at the same time I know that if I or others had the chance he'd be a fine Father figure to all of us. I'm proud to call this guy an FGer and I know he would be there for anyone when they needed support. FG Hall of Fame - Chris @TigerBurge and Dave @Plumbers Crack I want to personally thank everyone for being around this year and I hope we can have a fantastic Xmas and an even better 2019. GGFG

Superb, as always. Huge thanks to the @GazzaGarratt for organising it and the trophies are absolutely excellent. Pity someone broke theirs but we'll get this sorted in no time. Great to meet all the newer faces too, many mental images shattered in to a million pieces already.

Gamers are cunts. Any glitch / cheat / loophole / hack / bug / other exploit is always abused by the complete and utter wankstains who's mum probably should've swallowed. I'll grab my Synthoceps.

Thanks lads . What a top NIGHT.

Was a great night, was lovely to meet some of you guys for the first time. Already planning next years, am thinking we rent our own massive party place and have a big one 👍

Good luck anyone playing gambit now this is out

Just wanted to say a Happy Thanksgiving to all the American FGers (and all other Americans too!) Hope you have some festive fun and quality time with your loved ones ❤

Hope you guys had a nice Thanksgiving.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays FG ❤️

Great day out. As much as I love the Arcade club, it's almost a victim of its own success, as it gets very busy. I'm thinking LAN type event next time bit more central and try get a few more people on board.

Thanks both. There seems to be an underlying issue with some plugins and widgets currently. I'll retool at stuff this week once I'm home and recovered from the weekend.

It seemed like it but updates had to for download 2 and 3

@phil bottle @tronic44 @GazzaGarratt First Phil, yes there are some games with serious movement that I tend it get a little of that dizziness, or I tend to get it a lot if I’m descending/ ascending in the games with elevators bits. However, you do get use to it after some time. Richard, you are absolutely right sir. The reason I picked up PSVR was because I had just played on a friends oculus. He has a top of the line gaming pc and 4 sensors throughout the room. It was amazing. I didn’t have that kind of money $$$ or space. You can get some movement with PSVR and games recognize the sensors on the rear of the headgear so you can physically turn around 360 in the game. Again, I feel VR is the next level of gaming ‘que “ready player one”’ and this is the entry level for 250$ us I was able to get into it. Maybe next time @tronic44 is in the states playing with toys I’ll be able to meet up with him. 😊

So round 2 times 1. Greboth - 2:15.205 2. Spacedeck - 2:15.359 3. Philbottle - 2:17.742 4. GazzaGarratt - 2:21 Nice This track is a pig of a track, I can do one quick lap but then next 10 I screw up. I've managed to shave some time off mine above but I know I can go faster still ..... as long I can keep it on the damn track.

Thanks, Lee. We had a good time here at my house. Had about 20 people over. It was good to hangout with everyone and enjoy some good food. Via the FG App

Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday. No stress, no presents, just lots of food and family time. Lots of booze and lots of football. You guys should adopt our holiday lol.

Sorry guys. I spilled my beer on the site control board again. Via the FG App
