I’ve been playing the hell out of this recently. It’s a very gory, 2d metroidvania/souls style game that has a very cool art style. The game plays really well and the story has been interesting.

Yeah we can do that, think you can have more people on skype.

This is a great idea - Skype?

We should also do a video hangout chat at some point, just get a load of us together and talk nonsense for a bit whilst being able to see our lovely faces. We can come up with stuff for FG to do during the year, be proactive and all of that.

I'm happy to do a day by day diary of how my quarantine period is going?!! May help the 14 days go by a little quicker!! Nice idea though Lee and I'm more than happy to help out in whatever way I can from the confines of my humble abode. Stay safe and strong peoples!!

Great idea, i should have a bit more spare time now so will look into making some videos.

If the schools close, I will have to ‘live stream’ lessons for the kids. This will present an interesting opportunity for us. A game if you will. You guys will give me words, phrases or movie quotes etc to slide into my lessons whilst you watch them live! just imagine it........WHATS UP GUYS, ITS YOUR BOY.....MR GILES!

The reasoning one of the talking head doctors gave on R4 yesterday is that the data so far shows that young children seem not to be as susceptible to contracting it as adults. As a security measure perhaps we should have primary school children stand as Members of Parliament? Oh, wait....no...

I actually thought there was more positive here of late, but your post certainly tips the scales that way! Great post Seb, like your tips alot. I really don't care for loadouts, there is so much good loot around its insane. Looking forward to multiple parties of 3 of this for a while then.

I watched Escape From Alcatraz once again the other night. Excellent film!

Well, not a whole lot of positivity in here, but let's try and change that! I love this game/game mode? Not sure what to call it as it's kind of separated from the base game? But yeah, I love it, by far my favourite BR out of the bunch. Bit of a learning curve to it, but that's to be expected. Anyways, here's my opinion on a couple things: - Contracts. Holy fuck these things are great, need money for a killstreak? Maybe buy back a dead teammate or just get some armour plates? Pick up a contract! I usually avoid the bounty ones and go for the scavenger/flag capture points for some easy cash and items. - Respawn mechanics. Oh you died? Welcome to the Gulag comrade, fight for your right to go back or lose and have your team buy you back provided they can scrape together the 4500$ needed. - The map. Yes, it's effing massive. But there's 150 people (ish) in every game. I think over the course of a full evening of this you'll likely have an enemy team dropping in with you no matter where you pick in almost every game so there's not really many dull moments, the insane changes from landing downtown and having skyscrapers around you to suddenly finding yourself in the countryside or in the snowy mountains as the circle moves is also awesome. - Custom loadouts. Fuck looting for weapons, get the first and best rifle or what ever off the ground and start looking for money. Once you or your team have collectively amassed 6000$, find a shop and buy an airdrop with your custom loadouts. Running an overkill class with a sniper and AR or SMG is so incredibly overpowered it's not even funny. Not to mention rather than having some random weapon with attachments you aren't used to on them, you can have what you use every damn day. Getting this early on has been a huge contributor to me getting more kills and definetly has helped me get some wins. Now, for the few things that actually piss me off. - Camping. Every goddamn rooftop, every window, every fucking mountain has a team on/in it sniping. And it only gets worse the smaller the circle gets. The only counters that I know of so far is getting into the zone early on before the gas forces you, or having a UAV and using it before approaching an area with a lot of buildings where you suspect there might be players. Putting a heartbeat sensor as your tactical in your custom loadout or picking one up off the ground can also help provided the guys camping aren't running cold blooded... Oh and to quote one of my favourite FG'ers over the years @kylebees "HE'S SITTING IN A FUCKING CORNER!!" 😄 - The gas mask. FUCK this FUCKING hellish useless lump of FUCKING bullshittery. Sure, protects you against the gas, but it will kill you in other ways. Twice I've finished 2nd because of the gas mask in situations where I had every advantage, but the mask fucked me over. How you ask? Because when your character pulls it on or off you become a useless fucking potato that can't function. You can't effing aim at all, which is fair, yeah I guess using one hand to pull the mask on or off will hinder you a liiiittle bit, but they need to redesign it to where you don't FUCKING start pulling it back off if you are already shooting as you come out of the storm. The other thing that got me killed was being on top of a building, I had the high ground, pulled mask on, jumped off building to get away from gas and just before I can hit the "X" buttom to pull my parachute.... My character pulls the mask off and I faceplant the fucking ground. But there we go. My opinion on this after spending a LOT of hours on this over the weekend.

What annoys me is when Microsoft or Activision buy up the premium slots and then have jack shit to fill them with along with the big publishers stringing out their premium presentations to also fill up the time. E3 was only interested in taking the money that way rather than strategically designing their show to make it as appealing as possible and maximising exposure to games and developers. I used to get bored even watching the highlights because they were still riddled with painful filler. Despite opening to the general public for the first time ever either last year or the one before, the event was always built for the mainstream media rather than gamers. IGN would never get that many clicks on a promising indie game over yet another AAA franchise release and E3 was always about the money even if they were showcasing crap and thin air.

Thats why i'd propose like 6 show series, 1 every 2 months. It'll help smaller indie developers show off their games and find an alternative way to help breeding new game creators. We don't want the world eventually left with the big corporates just spinning those titles every year that get boring.

This is off the table. My Spain trip is now going to have to be the October trip due to the Kung Flu outbreak. I'm flying home from New Mexico today. I came out here to hike the Bataan Memorial but it was cancelled. I did get to do some gorgeous hiking on my own and some with a buddy in Albuquerque.
