Thanks to a lot sweat from Alan, my youngest, we managed to get a 1500mm desk I had into a 1505mm gap. I painted over the marks we left on the walls this morning and it all looks pretty good. Just having a quick go at this keyboard and mouse malarky... Via the FG App

@Diddums joined me in the vast tranquillity of space, last night. We spawned together at Port Olisar, a base in the Stanton system. I took Didds to the gun shop and he bought himself a nice assault rifle. As my ship, the awesome Drake Cutlass can take a crew, we decided to take it out and put Diddums into the turret. First mistake here in that I didn’t show him how to use work the turret guns properly. So when we hyper spaced into a mission objective, I was busy trying to explain that, and didn’t heed the pirates who went on to attack and destroy my ship. Schoolboy error So, we respawned back at Port Olisar and this time I took my Drake, while Diddums called up his Mustang Alpha ship. Hilarity here. Didds had a little trouble controlling his ship and had to eject after it became a little damaged. Fortunately, he was able to space walk to my ship and enter via the rear cargo hold. Back in my Drake, with Diddums now familiar with the turret gun. We did a couple of fetch and carry missions and ended up at a planet called Daymar. There appeared to be some other players here involved in some grief. Obviously, with Diddums on board, we couldn’t sit idly by while action was happening that we weren’t part of, so we got involved. Some of the other players had left their ships and were traversing the planet on space bikes. Well, that was short lived, as it turns out Diddums is an excellent turret shot. They tried shooting my ship with their rifles but my shields were more than a match. We left behind two dead players, their bikes and their destroyed ship. We also visited the pirate base on Grim Hex asteroid field and somehow managed to get a crime stat against us, for poor parking I think, before flying back to Port Olisar to store the ship and log out. Until next time…

One final update on this is that a certain Mr @Diddums managed to find me a monitor from his workplace, and then delivered to my house, in a feck off big pink van, none other than a 27 inch ASUS ROG Swift, full of 1440p 144hz goodness. Thank you so much you absolute beauty

Seems strange u18 having all those mascots...looks like their parents have said they were going shopping and “..take your brother/sister wherever you go and hold their hand all the time” 😂😂 Seriously though, it looks very good and the highlights seem to show it was a very good choice to open with

That ship you gave me is a dud, you still got the warranty? All it did was spin around in circles until it eventually spat me out and just sat there, upside down, looking all sad and useless. It's a good job you can fly! I've gotta admit, there's a ton of potential here. Some things are needlessly faffy but I'm sure this will be addressed at some point. The whole experience is ridiculous, the sheer scale and vastness of it all is on a whole new level. It needs some optimizing, getting 60fps on medium at 1080p with 2x 980s is a bit meh but it didn't ruin the experience at all. The hubs are terribly optimized, they need rebooting now and then to keep things fresh. The attention to detail on the ships and stuff is great, the planet we visited was dull as fuck but these are all things that will probably be added and updated over time. The framework is there for an extremely epic game. The servers need more players, it needs music, more atmosphere and more chaos. I'm not talking CoD, but a bit more than there is would go down well. It's a fantastic game for sure and being able to finally play it is amazeballs. I'm probably going to install DayZ tonight as well. I can't see my PS4 getting much use any more tbh. The games on PC are just so much better it's unreal, and the money you can save with things like Humble Bundle renders the PS4s pricing structure and the shit titles on it obsolete. It's safe to say that the only reason I'll be on the PS4 is because of the company, not the games.

After our long trip away to see the mighty @Plumbers Crack, we had a conversation about every other person on FG is either a Chris or a Dave. This got me thinking...there can only be one winner! So FG, you decide! Make sure you put up a compelling argument below for voting either way too. P.S. Every newbie or oldie should be encouraged to vote! #FGLivesMatter

Level 29 so far with one horrible side mission and then the final stronghold which will see me perfectly into level 30. Both strongholds I did were very easy and pretty underwhelming. The one in the stadium had some impressive interiors but just killing a few in each concourse wave was fairly straightforward. The boat one was a little more challenging and lasted longer but seeing off the waves was pretty routine also I found. The hammer enemies that kill you in one hit are bloody annoying though. 36 hours so far and I'll probably wrap it up around 40 but not sure if I'll bother with the endgame.

Dave is the correct answer and anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.

Voted Chris. I often think of Chris Farley, which was a merry, funny guy who always made me happy when I saw him on tv or in a movie. And there is only one real Dave in here, really! Diddums use Dave but c'mon, he really is a posh bastard named David!

Hello and welcome aboard! 👍

Dave is winning?! Fucking bullshit! I suspect some sort of Russian interference is at hand.

I said Dave, I have a brother called Dave and I've met a fair few cunts called Chris 😂😂

Well you can't have a 1080ti and not have a monitor to show it off! Glad you're enjoying it, couldn't have gone to a better home imo

Haven't played much since div 2 launched tbh but I had fun playing it and the loot drops really weren't that bad for me. I ended up playing 3 different javelins and getting pretty solid builds on them (enough to smash gm2 anyway) I would recommend it but I wouldn't push a sale of it on anyone. Via the FG App

Awesome news!

Nice Tommy, stupid question - where do you get the deal from?

Ah I lived there for about a year on and off in a little place called Burnfoot. Warm rain is the best!

I pretty much only play solo right now. I'm running hive with the revive branch. So when I die it automatically revives me to give me that second chance. It's helped me a lot. A must have if you're solo. Via the FG App

Can you explain this armor bug and why you feel the way with the scaling? In TD1 when you played with friends who were higher level/ geared then you you could do nothing but hide, and as in TD2 you can do damage and easily participate in everything no matter what the world tier or level they are in. You're totally entitled to your opinion but the game is arguable one of the best solo experiences in any form of multiplayer game. You can do absolutely all content by yourself and it's challenging.

Thanks Phil Bottle. Sorry if I made you think I'm not genuine ... I'm definitely not a market researcher .... I'm a violin teacher/musician!, but I totally understand that you have to be cautious 🙂. I've just added my introduction message and apologies for the delay. I was just asking about the fan as I'm intending to use the laptop for music production as well as other stuff, so a noisy fan isn't great when you're writing music. Hope this clarifies 😎✌️🙏
