What a day you're having, picking up an award and receiving a one month ban all in one go🤗

Well done all. Congratulations.

Oh hey, did you guys know we have a website! Just saw this, congrats everyone. It's been a pleasure being part of this community over the last 16 months.

Congratulations all! Lets have an awesome 2022! GGFG!

This is absolutely fantastic as always, and seeing so many of the newer guarde getting these awards just goes to show what staying power we have as a community. Leigh has been nothing short of inspirational in his running of this place and should be commended as such, how that man has been able to tolerate all our (specifically mine) bullshit without turning in to a rabid alcoholic is beyond me, yet here he is dishing out all these fantastic awards to quite possibly the highest quality people on the face of the earth. A massive round of applause to all of you, and a massive thanks to Lee for all his hard work as well. Here's to 2022, wishing you all a Merry Christmas and an awesome new year. GGFG ❤️

Congratulations to all the winners well done guys! Also Lee you summarised the year very nicely, superbly written.

@RenFenggegot yo back sister 😂

I'm super happy (and pretty astounded) to announce that this is the 4th year that the FG Awards has been a thing. I stopped for a very brief moment today and I realised we're super lucky to have something so unique and one of a kind for a family like this. As a reminder for newer FGers, I set up the FG Awards as a way to recognise a few people within the FG family to say thank you for what they have done to help others. I hope that the below is an enjoying read of all our winners, especially with 2 new additional awards for Play of the Game and Top Contributor. Let's not waste any more time to get into 2021's special winners! Young FGer of the Year I think its credit to this guy that even @Diddums thought that he was much nearer 30 due to how he handles himself online, having a laugh with everyone else. Already the most experienced Destiny raider out of everyone, it hasn't stopped him wanting to help the most inexperienced people here at FG. If everyone was as helpful, patient and damn right crazy as him at his age, we wouldn't have a problem when the next generation have to step up and make a difference. Thanks for being a part of FG, Lee'esh. Long may it continue. Winner - @Leeesh13 - Lee'esh FG Noobie of the Year For quite possibly a shy guy to start with, he has really understood the spirit of FG from our first meeting. Willing to try many games with FG where possible and really contribute across lots of topics all over FG. He even raised money for Alzheimer's Association this year which was great to see him share this with us here. Wanting to learn more and not miss out on the laughs we have on Monday Night Football with the FGFC FIFA team and a regular on FG Friday shenanigans, Ant has made himself more than just one of the crowd here this year. Winner - @Antpool84 - Ant Guardian Down Award A close one this year, with many people making the funny epic failures of most FG evenings. Previous winners like @techno and @Diddums had chances as they get shotgunned in the Crucible, alongside @slamminbones sweary outbursts on GT Sport evenings, and @TurboR56Mini epic fails on Nightfalls with the FG Destiny crew. Possibly because his accumulative dying record would probably now challenge any Destiny player in the universe, it's about time Bob was recognised for his great achievements after playing - and dying - so much on Destiny to get all his accolades. I think Bob would spend a whole evening dying over and over if you offered him 5 points off a Triumph. And that's without trying too! Winner - @Baabcat - Bob FG Archbishop of Banterbury He thought his depressive side could be so funny? I didn't. But the fact that he has his own word (Tomerisms) for when he says something so bloody random on FIFA, Rocket League or FG Friday nights, he probably deserves to feel on a special pedestal for a one shiny moment. Always trying to find that annoying little joke that you want to hate but laugh at, Tom is frustrating and fun to have around. Now, if this award goes a little way to helping him calm his deep thoughts he likes to share post midnight on a weekend of gaming then i'm all in! Winner - @LordBaguette - Tom FG Skills Award Similar to how last year's winner Kenny @IRaMPaGe has knocked out some amazing plays that he shares on his PPR and in the Videos section, there's another one here that if you don't check PPRs enough then you'd find way more about your fellow FGers!! Its been a tough end to the year for this one, but let's face it to be on the cusp of 500 - yes, FIVE HUNDRED - Platinum Playstation trophies is actually insane. I've kept up with his updates and he's surpassed a few hundred since he has been here and I sometimes think he'll never stop until he gets into the top 100 in the world, which isn't far away. Paul, I'll be watching for your 500th and after a well deserved break, hopefully to see you hit 600 in the future. Winner - @slamminbones - Paul FG Play of the Game A new award to this year and something that I would defnitely love for more entries into the Video section of all your famous and funny moments next year. This one for me sticks out like a sore thumb, and whilst its not the most ultimately the best goal we've ever scored with F.G.F.C on FIFA 21 this past year, it was an incredible goal and finish to an amazing game early on in the promotion charge from Division 10 to Division 1 in clubs. It also epitomised how that has been such a successful game for FG here with at least 17 FGers joining the club and playing hundreds and in some cases, thousands of games together. Final minute, after having just equalised moments before, a throw-in from one side passed through @Stretch616 , @G_dub52 and to @GazzaGarratt who then launches a huge long ball which could only give us the chance to win - and Lurch provides the scenes with the most emphatic header we've seen on a FIFA game. A quick link to the special moment in our video section can be found below! Last Minute Scenes! Winner - @J-Lurch - James FG Top Contributor If we don't have people here bringing us the latest info and news, alongside contributing to some great conversations then we just wouldn't simply survive. There's been one person that whilst we don't game much online, it hasn't stopped him from being around, sharing and showing others how easy it is to do for every FGer that comes here rather than all the other rubbish places on the interwebz. Its not just the quantity and we probably should recognise his support a lot more than we should have over recent years - even if his opinions can be unpopular at times! James, we wouldn't have this place without you, mate. Winner - @J4MES OX4D - James FGer of the Year Despite being at FG for only 16 months, she has made a monumental difference to the outcome of FG over the past year. Gathering troops, usually at 3am in the morning for her, organising raids and events. This place went from what we thought was an 'active' Destiny clan to having the most active raids we've ever done in the past 7 years of the game being out. Not only supporting this, but supporting other FG Friday events, setting up servers, creating a buzz about FG on topics, interesting viewpoints and actively encouraging new, less frequent people to show up more often around FG. A heart of gold with massive support from her husband Carl @TurboR56Mini too, we wouldn't have been able to give away such incredible gifts as part of the FGFGF, like the two PS5s a few months ago. She's also there for people on the personal level, and like many of you know how I will always be there for you, it is equally seen through what La has done for others behind closed doors. What's even better, is that we haven't had many women as part of FG and to think that someone like this can have such a positive impact on all aspects of FG, its shows how much we've opened our eyes and should be willing to do more for all FGers. Proud to call her my friend at my hour of need, we all appreciate and salute you for the effort you put here, La. Winner - @RenFengge - La FG Hall of Fame It was a delight to see this American pop back into our lives, especially after being pretty ill for a very long time this year - something I appreciate many wouldn't know but lets face it, its why we become best friends here that some of us know this important stuff. Its good to see this lover of all uber-hard games like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, etc back posting and looking forward to his playthrough verdicts and support in 2022 when we all pick up Elden Ring. Thanks for being an FGer for life big man. Winner - @Jason - Jason Aaaand we're done! No one expected 2021 to be as hard as 2020 but we all got through it thankfully. I'm sure some things will continue to be rocky and not always go our way, but i'm pleased to report we're all still here, bringing the heat and good vibes. All of this to make sure we have the best 2022 we could possibly have. Keep being there for each other. You really do not understand the gravity of your presence at FG for others. It surpasses many extraordinary things people can't explain in life. GGFG P.S. I really hope more of you FGers can join the other 36 so far confirmed people all across the world to join us in Wales in November 2022!! >> Biggest FG Meet Up Ever - Nov 2022

Hello! Welcome! You can call me "La"... and yup, I'm in my 30's lol. Been playing video games since I was basically born. Originally had some consoles but those were for exclusives and for some other games. I was always a PC gamer at heart, as I used to build PCs with my dad. Our Christmas gifts were usually PC parts lol. There are some other women gamers here in FG. @Rumelylady is one of them too. What do you like to play? For social stuff, you'll catch me on with everyone in Destiny 2. I'll probably start getting back into Valheim (we have 2 servers in FG)... and I'll probably poke around in 7 Days to Die (FG has its own server). For what I truly and really enjoy? Strategy games. RPGs. Basically anything really story driven with choices. I could talk all day about Mass Effect and Dragon Age. For other games, Final Fantasy will always have a place in my heart. I would love it if Pikmin would continue. I have also spent hundreds of hours in games like Civilization, Endless Legend, Humankind. Hope to catch you on!

Aw. Shucks. Thanks. But, we should also note that the foundation of FG wouldn't be what it is for people like me and @Leeesh13 to build on if it wasn't for all the other winners, @GazzaGarratt, and @Diddums. The creation of FG by Diddums and the continual behind-the-scenes work by Lee is what makes this all possible. I hope to help make things even bigger and better for 2022! (once I find a good balance between hybrid work, gym, and games lol) Also, FGer of the Year shared with darling-husband @TurboR56Mini for doing the social aspects that I can't do lol... and for being the stellar D2 player he is, for leading teams, teaching, and just jumping in when needed. So, thanks, FG, for making our COVID-quarantine time actually fulfilling and fun. Thanks to @wh1skeyactual for bringing us in. Thanks to @Kemp210 for constantly being our third in nightfalls and other fireteam activities. Thanks to @Baabcat for being an amazing raid partner, along with @Venom for always leading and teaching. We will see everyone on D2, Valheim, 7 Days, other games, and on the boards!

Well done all you winners and well done Lee, nailed it again mate

Congratulations peeps! Fully deserved winners here ❤❤❤

Thanks Lee. Appreciate the kind words.

Thanks @GazzaGarrattfor the award! my entire life has been leading to this moment

Congrats all. Just popped in to say “thank fuck Diddums won fuck all”. Ciao.

Hi, I'm a female gamer and am checking to see if there are any female PC gamers here, ideally in their 30s too? Thanks!

Damn dude, that really sucks 😔 glad to hear that you are getting better though, and hope your mum gets better soon too ❤ Wishing you both a safe and Merry Christmas 🎄❤

Yeah it was a great first try on Among Us last FG Friday. We had 12 people turn up too and good to see a maximum of 15 can play too. I think the tough part will be to actually get people not to talk when they die or get voted off! Especially as we're all learning how to play the damn game 🤣 I kept trying but i'd usually get 'off'd' first by that annoying @crispymorgan fella. And he wonders why he's then an easy target to be voted off most games 😄 I'd urge us all to get this game and Fall Guys which amass to around 10-15 quid tops. It means we can have a few hours on this and switch to big party sessions on Fall Guys too.

😂😂 really enjoyed my first session of Among Us too, i love how defensive everyone gets 😂😂😂

Perhaps we should investigate this as a horde base....

I think the last video you shared highlights it has some playability but possibly more so in a co-op situation. Let us know how you get on because i'd probably hold my monies until we saw some more feedback and if others here are willing to play and join in together on it. It would be some intense gaming sessions anyway!

I was thinking about this last night, i know there's ways in which you can make the game easier, mainly by not using half the stuff the game has to offer. One of them is just cooking the meat and veg stew, i'm determined to use everything this game has to offer which i why i'm in the process of going through all the meal and making a big stack of everything. Each meal has it's own unique benifits which should defintiely be looked into, especially when doing different tasks, mining/looting etc. The same goes for the drinks and the sweets, i'm slowly building up a stack of everything so that people don't feel like the supplys are running low and don't take anything. Another thing that i'd love to do, is properly kit our new base out with all the gadgets, power doors, turrets, the whole shabang.

That's very kind! This means I've won more than Tottenham😎 Delighted to be here still after all these years and a big thanks to Lee for keeping this place running and for everyone else for making it thrive on a daily basis. Shame my online game time is so restricted due to work and family but I will always find time for the forums if I can't actually play.

Congrats

Congrats to all you chunts ❤️

😂thanks Lee! And congrats to all the winners especially @Leeesh13 who had been an awesome addition and @RenFengge who has just been awesome !!

Thanks @GazzaGarratt, never thought being called a newbie would be a good thing 😂 Great write up too Lee 🙂 I've loved my first year in FG and looking forward to the big meet in November 🙂 Congrats to all the other winners and fellow FGers 🙂🙂

Fantastic write up and all well deserved awards! Congratulations to all.

Pretty good insight into gameplay

Moral of last night's session? Never trust a Morgan 😉😁 Great game👍

Found this video yesterday, it allows you to use your pro clubs player in the arena and other game modes. Pretty useful just follow the video guide below 👌

It finally went live on PSN this evening. £3.29 You all know what to do😁

A friend recently asked me about this game and must admit I'm considering picking it up.

Never heard of you.

You know I'm getting old when I'm too lazy to correct your post.

...and this is how I died. Looks pretty cool, man!

So my first idea for a base didn’t work 😞 turns out zombies can easily walk over steep slopes now so that ideas out. I haven’t tried the second idea out yet as I messed up something in my test world I think as I changed the time to horde night but nothing happened. I agree with you though @tronic44 I’ve been focusing on meat and veg stew as it’s all I’ve unlocked in masterchef. But as you said, good to build up a stock so everyone has some food on them so we aren’t all starving. Definitely need to diversify though, especially as some foods offer nice perks.

Well done to all the winners! Well deserved and a fantastic write up 👌👌❤️❤️

congrats to the amazing peeps!

Congratulations to all the winners, fully deserved!

Some well deserved winners there! Congratulations to all!

Congrats to this year's winners 👍

In other news, as it’s late December I watched die hard and it still doesn’t disappoint.

I was gonna post a thread about this yesterday! Looks a good game and pretty good value too as just £17/$20.

This is ace if its cross play on everything like Minecraft. I can use my switch then even if Hollie is on the TV lol

can you crossplay with someone on pc? cause then i am in whenever possible

Yea baby there is no more perfect game for an FG friday
