@GazzaGarrattAs the guys before me have already said, what you do for this community is nothing short of astounding and I cant thank you enough. As with some of the other guys as well, I feel bad that I dont participate on here in the way that I'd like to. All good intentions for a while but then it goes South through nobody's fault but my own. Keep doing what you're doing buddy. It's really appreciated from all the members here and we'll try and do our bit on here to support you more. Much love dude 😘

What's up folks Can you add me to the Whatsapp please. Some prick called Diddums removed me from it a while back. Only really playing Warzone these days, I've added some of the regiment but i need to add the rest.

Well life hasn't been quite the same this year has it now? It's been a struggle, even for Mr Annoying Positive guy over here. Keeping going mentally is challenging enough in life as it is, let alone more lockdown news across the world. However, I haven't stopped, maybe procrastinated a little too much, but I wanted to report we are getting somewhere. Needless to say I can't do it without you all visiting and popping in, not forgetting our home for which i'm extremely grateful. This could be a long-ish one but it will be worth it so please read all of it! I'll do my best to keep it brief (yeah, okay Lee) and maybe give you some visuals a long the way to make it easier to not switch off 😁 FG Progress Updates We mentioned some months ago here, we (or more so I, with the help of you amazing people) wanted to make a stand and keep things moving where we could to make a difference. I've copied the bits mentioned from the thread and shown any progress next to it: Merchandise Shop - New application purchased for FG so it can support the Merch shop. Early days but you may see that there is a resemblance of a shop on our Home (you can check it out in the menu bar). It needs a lot of fleshing out with way more bits need to be added of course so obviously any ideas of things we should have in there please can you keep them coming. Big shout out to Matty @Misneach_ as he working through to find an american provider so we can get the same or similar designs to save on the postage. FG Points/Gamerscore - This hasn't moved anywhere. Not received any ideas since we raised it and sits lower down the pecking order as it was an added incentive to your daily life at FG. Creating new sections (New entire page spaces for games) - I've started creating a few but obviously need a little more content to get them fully up and running. I'm considering making a few live with bare bones and getting all of you to help flesh them out a bit and offer suggestions on what you think would work best. That way we have something workable ongoing to regularly improve. Destiny and FIFA are a few i'm looking at but there's a lot of work under the hood with the new functionality to get it bang on. Just wanted to show you something to see progress is being made even if it still needs major tweaks and changes: Creating new sections - New homepage - its coming along too. Not too much to giveaway here but I think we need to have a central point for everyone to remember all the other parts of stuff we have fun with too. Work in progress below but getting there...even if it could end up meaning one extra click for some: Expanding existing areas - we now have dedicated forums and discord channels for a few games with also corresponding notifications for those games. You may have seen a few pop up in discord and these should work well with new page spaces if we decide to have them. Guides & Tips section - We haven't received any new updates to it. With Destiny launching soon and with other brand new games as well as existing games starting to get a following (FIFA, 7 Days, etc) it would be good to get a few more up. Re-engaging with old FGers - we've seen a few faces come back, and its nice to see some of the PPRs of old (and new!) being updated. Its just a rubbish time for everyone so reading everyones PPRs, hearing that you're all okay and getting by however you can is really awesome to see. Would love to see more updates and people embrace PPRs more, even if its just to read others and comment on their ones. Its the one big way we can make a difference in such a small amount of effort. Open our doors to new FGers - A few people have graced us with their presence. Awesome thanks to people like Nutty @Nutcuttlit spreading the FG wings out there on all manor of games. When you can, make sure you take the moment to make newer people feel part of the group properly. The more we help each other, the better we'll all feel about stuff going on. Regular gaming nights schedule - We've definitely picked up a few things and I can only see more to come. FIFA Monday Night Football, GT Sport Weekly Races on Tuesdays, 7 Days horde nights every so often, and Destiny Raids have popped up again too. I think what I probably need to do is more simple YouTube explanations on how to set up events, etc as I fear just because I might not be able to turn up or can't make a night doesn't mean we can't make a go of things. We also have to be persistent. If a few times they don't work, you keep trying as the more it becomes force of habit, the more times people will join for fun and good times. Ways to help others (real charity fundraisers starting with charity streams) - I don't think we've managed to find enough time to do these of late which is a shame as its something we could definitely do to support others. I did think about a group Movember even if its 3 days late. Try to get a regular pattern on sending out Feel Good Fund parcels to caring FGers - There's been a few parcels sent out. I haven't updated the thread lately but this probably leads into a time where because this year has an absolute awful one for many, i'm going to try and do what I can to make something happen, starting with the BIG Xmas FGFGF Giveaway. Comms - WhatsApp We clearly still have a major problem with how life is at present, even though we have Discord, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and our Home here to keep in touch. Whilst I started many years ago saying it could work, over recent years it proved to get in the way, as it makes us all a little lazy at times. However, with the year we've had, how many people are splintered over all those ways to connect, the inability to help get everyone on one simple chat application AND Sony royally fucking up playstation chat parties, I'm planning on resurrecting one purely for FGers. All I ask is that you don't forget this place as this is our Home. If we don't have a home, FG will splinter and die which we all don't want. Let me know if you want to be part of one and we'll see how it goes. When we seem in a better place in the world we'll see how things lay, like everything here and we can change things around as and when we're at that point. I won't hesitate to close it though if I feel this place is dying away. Any views, thoughts, opinions i'd be seriously grateful on this thread. The BIG FGFGF Xmas Giveaway Well, here we are. After not being able to do something last year and we've said enough about 2020 until the cows come home (never understood that expression when written down but it works when i say it out loud), its time I believe to put some smiles back on people's faces. I want to keep the Feel Good Fund surprises coming to direct people as and when I can but for the main part of the rest of this year, I want to do the following as I special thank you for being FG and being there for others here too. We all love an advent calendar so here is our very own. Behind each door will be a prize we will give away, each day of the year. I'D URGE YOU TO KEEP IN CONTACT HERE TO NOT MISS OUT ON YOUR CHANCE. Rather than spell out all the prizes on this thread straight away, the below lets you select each door to see whats behind each day of the 25 days of Christmas. I can detail them properly on a separate thread but for now go and enjoy whats behind each door 😄. The Raffle System will go up within the next 2 weeks for, I'll create a new thread and it will be for EXISTING FGers ONLY. It will be clear what the rules are to enter so make sure you check your FG login details as it will be linked to those. The final point I just wanted to quickly touch on is Donations. We can't ever run without them, so thank you for anyone that has donated this year when it's been really tough. No matter whatever you can give and at whatever time, its massively grateful. It can't be like this every year but this one is on me to try and help bring some smiles back to the end of this year - Thank you to all of you for being FG. GGFG Link to FG Advent Calendar below (EDIT - I had it embedded in the post too but it doesn't paginate correctly on mobile, the link will be good to go for all): Forever Gaming's Christmas Giveaway! CALENDAR.MYADVENT.NET FG has created an advent calendar for you! Happy holidays! 🙂

Only just seen this now, Ketamine Kyle lives only 100 miles from me. Never met him, but heard plenty of stories about him. 😂

I think the only time you were catching me was when you didn’t brake 😆 I tried desperately to drive anything that wasn’t that damn TT but I relativey easily got the TT in to mid-low 28’s but was on the edge trying to get other cars even in to the 28’s. So I succumbed and drove the TT 😞 It was certainly an interesting start to the race, the first lap was a little tentative but lap 2 I almost equalled my quali time then lap 2 and 3 were quicker managing to get the fastest lap with a 1:27.5. I could see some of the carnage going in my mirror so between my pb’s and lee playing wreckfest I was about 6 seconds ahead. Trying to push for even faster lap times lead to a couple mistakes on lap 5 and 6 bringing my lead down 4.5-5 seconds at one point. After that, I decided to take things a little slower as I could do 1:28’s without risking going off. Over the last few laps I managed to pull the lead out to just over 8 seconds though I think Kiwi may have made a mistake or 2 as gap did seem to jump up a couple times. PSN issues were a pain but still a good race at a tricky circuit. @phil bottle 10 laps always seems a decent amount and not too long by the time we’ve done practice and quali. Longer race(s) would be good though I think these would have to be agreed a little more in advance to give people time to practise so that at 9pm we could go straight in to a quick quali then a longer race. Edit: Maybe the longer race could be run a week behind. So when a good gr3/gr4 combo comes up in race C this week we actually race is next week. Maybe with double the laps and tyres/fuel set to half what Race C was. That way it should guarantee at least 1 stop being required.

Well, I'll be playing upgrades initially like Destiny 2 and FIFA 21 but I was thinking of GT7 and possibly Cyberpunk 2077 to see if it truly meets the expectations. I suppose Cold War is a standard purchase cos of you guys and I'd love Valhalla if its anything like Black Flag. If I'm honest I've not seen many PS5 games coming out. I'm just looking forward to having 60FPS on Destiny with fast loading times. Oh yes, lovely jubbly!!

Well tonight was... interesting. Despite the ridiculous party chat issues, the race was fairly decent, albeit small. I'm surprised I was actually keeping constant lap times throughout the entire race.

FFS 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks mate ❤️ Cheers Paul. Tbh, you turn up here and I enjoy reading your posts. Chat stuff like discord was initially made to grab people for games and quick chat, not to replace this place. At least it also gives people auto notifications when stuff gets posted which might actually help people keep up to date a little more. The forum sections don't really take much maintenance tbh. Forums will always be about whatever people post up...so everyone can help with this one and stick stuff up! Like the previous post I did in June, there's loads of things we can do, improve, create, etc but we also need to keep everything running, like the usual game nights of fun and lolz. You're always welcome to support and help where you can. The people that raised their hands and i created separate sections for them to put ideas down and get stuff could revisit these perhaps as a good start?

Definetly a lot more fun now than when it first came out and you couldn't even spawn in without being lassoed by the nearest cunt on legs to be dragged behind his horse until you died. 😄

Anything by Cardi B... 😅

Interesting... May be a good watch, or may just be gimmicky as fuck lol Netflix announces Assassin's Creed live-action series WWW.DIGITALSPY.COM The streaming service is partnering with Ubisoft.

So @ChaosGladiator @Nutcuttlit @LordBaguette Marc and myself have been plugging away at Red Dead Online for the past week and it's been an absolute blast. Yesterday we got a new member joining the pisse (typo but imma keep it) in the form of Matt. Just thought I'd post here to see if there was any interest in you lot to join up with us would be cool to get enough players so that there would always be someone on to chat to.

I sincerely hope this was a cut 'n' paste post Lee 🤣

Drop a like if you love quickscoping 💖💖💖

Ramos is a total prick but a fine footballer. One of the few Real players who the fans haven't ever turned on. A solid defender plus he has amazing technical and goalscoring ability. He's been involved in many sour incidents on the field but at the same time is one hell of a presence that is respected for what he's achieved and Madrid will really struggle to replace him when he retires.

Correct, especially after the 2019 CL final incident with Salah

Nope, hated that one! 🤣 Corners are super hard to get round and I find its like the circuit wants you to go off the track which is then a nightmare as it buggers your speed up around the entire lap. Still, a decent first few laps - I probably made it interesting by trying to keep Greebs close enough to the pack by whacking him on the chicane. Annoyingly I felt like I was in touch for a few laps but if i'm honest I never broker 1.30 in that Audi as I the braking and turning into corners on the Laguna Seca isn't that clear to me. I actually take a lot from talking to you all through practice and the race so not being able to talk to you guys cos Sony screwed up chat for the whole night was annoying AF and disappointing. Still, looks like it was a great race ahead of me! 😜

He is one of those players it's easy to hate on but I agree, he has had an outstanding career.

Sergio Ramos has now scored 100 goals for Real Madrid after last nights CL match, you can say what you want about his personality and rather rough playstyle but what a player he's been for them over the years....

🤣🤣 Whats been great to read from my opinion is what a few of you have said about the place and everyone rather than me. This is why I try and tell so many people that may haven't been here for a while to keep checking in. 100 bajillion percent agree. Other people here that haven't got one or tried to get them started should give them a go and maybe take a sneak peak at a few others too. Only takes a minute to check someones PPR out 👍

We'll now I'm at work and had some free time I've read through the thread first of all I'll just repeat what's been said, Lee the effort you put in here is outstanding and you deserve all the praise you get....the pain Im feeling now from having to praise someone really hurts 😉😁 It's also testament to the place that so many old timers have stuck around or returned and the one thing I've always got from the various forms of this forum over the years is the enjoyment I get from reading other people's views on shit with us being from various backgrounds and countries. I don't own a computer so my only access is through my phone and I do make a point of visiting this place daily and with the new games coming up that's bound to continue. @Nutcuttlit you may not know what to put in a ppr but having listened to your inane ramblings both in person and online I'm sure with your job it would make interesting reading 👍 Anyway keep up the good work @GazzaGarratt

I know nothing about these programs but just wanted to say good luck!

I don't know how much I can comment TBH, I learned photoshop as a hobby along side my degree so it's possible to learn it to a reasonable level as a hobby. Though I've never used it professionally to be able to comment on that side. Though I can say, I'm aware that I do have gaps in my knowledge due to learning through tutorials and things which may not exist had I learned it formally. I don't know if it is an issue but something to consider if your ultimate aim is to use it professionally. Photoshop is a fantastic program and certainly has it's uses for design and editing existing photos/images/logo's etc but I know most logo work will be carried out in Illustrator simply as it's a vector based program v photoshop being raster based. The biggest tip I think for anyone starting out would be learn the keyboard shortcuts - there's a LOT of them but knowing them makes your workflow easier. Some of them are pretty simple to learn, B for brush, T for Type etc. some not so much but still make sense like G being for bucket fill (it's because it's on the same tool as gradient fill) though some make no sense like V for move or O for dodge/burn/sponge tool. On the subject of shortcuts, shift+shortcut key will rotate through the different options of the same tool (so g to select gradient fill, shift g to change to bucket fill, shift g again will take you back to gradient fill).

@GazzaGarrattour goddess

11-12 years I've been a part of this group (FG/FPS/MW2F) and seeing the amount of work you put into this Lee, is astounding, inspiring and makes me feel guilty for not being around here too often. (I already know you're thinking "you're not meant to feel guilty") I'm going to make more of an effort around here to get involved, I'm just shit at sticking to things these last few years. Lee, I love you. FG, I love you. Even the lads I haven't officially met.

Sort of realised that the money I save due to bloody lockdown will easily pay for all of this shit 👍

Sounds pretty wank and I'm not talking about Rick Astley who is a ginger god.

My sister just bought a new style Ford Focus ST line, have to say I'm very jealous and has made me want a new car 😂

Looks like they'll be separate class slots for Multi and Warzone which is handy, saves having to keep switching everything when changing between the two modes
