Right I’m gonna get this in now before @Diddums has a chance to knife me with it. England are really not playing well. I didn’t mind the Borthwick hire and had mentally given him a bit of a pass for this World Cup as he would want to put his own playing style on the team…but these last two games against Wales of the back of the six nations campaign have been legitimately tough to watch, and Wales probably should have won both games. Thankfully I’ve been able to offset the shit I see from England with 2 great and exciting games from Scotland v France. South Africa and Ireland need to watch out or they could end up joining England in the dumpster fire of an embarrassing group stage exit.

I think it's the opposite, I think it was Kane that wanted the move. Levy didn't want him to leave, offering multiple improved contacts. Personally I think winning a trophy in a one horse league is a far less achievement than beating the goal scoring record with Spurs, and I don't think he should've defined himself by his lack of trophies.

Coming very soon and looking very decent.

Tried to go back to this slowly over the past week. Its just mostly rythmn to get back to where I usually land which is high gold and into Platinum. I'm sure when we were playing it regular I hit low Diamond but regular games need to happen otherwise you lose that judgement skill, especially on high balls. @crippled_viper Matt, I can add you to the clan we made on there whenever we get on it together. It doesn't do much as far as i'm aware but when you're joined up it can put you all in Home or Away colours when you play against another clan which is pretty cool.

Scotland's Finest.

I had a think last night and maybe the other angle I and we all can forget is the fact he is just another human being that has a life like all of us. More I think about it, he's 30 and may want to look back giving his family time in another culture, learn new things rather be anything about goals or trophies for that matter. I watched abit of the Bayern game last night and I don't think it is a forgone conclusion that side is winning things this year.

Yeah, I also think he would’ve been worth more to Spurs this upcoming season than the £80m-odd received in the end. Once offers dried up from Real Madrid, Man City and Man Utd and him turning 30, transfer options have become limited and Bayern would’ve definitely not been a preferred choice. Kane’s also played in 3 cup finals for Spurs and the Euro 2020 one and lost the lot and played dismally in all so he probably should’ve accepted that he’s had his chance with trophies and should just stick it out in the Prem. Even thought Bayern stole the title on the last day last season, it’s still very much a one horse race and even the Bayern fans were only excited by the finale because they weren’t winning every game.

Meant 26th

We swerved a proper piss taking there. Finally some good news this weekend 😅

Things are not going well for Overwatch 2 and they are looking to turn things around by bringing the game to Steam on August 10th Overwatch 2 Engagement and Player Investment Is Declining, Activision Blizzard Admits - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Activision Blizzard admits in its recent earnings report that the engagement and player investment in Overwatch 2 is declining. Other Blizzard games may follow in due course especially with Microsoft coming in and this game will be a good one to test the water. Pity you will need to double-DRM with Bnet still.

Released yesterday and has achieved an 'overwhelmingly negative' review score of just 15% out of 22,000 total reviews. I'm not sure if they've been even more scummy with their business practices this season but this is a damning showing of the direction that game has taken compared to what it once was.

It's installed ready for a play and has been for ages, as I had the urge a few months ago. Totally agree re optimisation and shows just what can be achieved when publishers feel like it. Such a beautiful game and runs like a dream on a 1080ti. It's just in a very long queue 😅

So I decided to give Doom Eternal another chance - I refunded it when it first came out and then didn't have a good time with it on game pass when trying it again, but I decided to take yet another punt - this time with the Deluxe version at £14.49 on Steam and I'm having a much more enjoyable time with it. I still don't like the design format all that much - it's a pretty significant departure from all the Doom games especially 2016 and the first few hours still make this game very hard to get into. That's what really put me off the first two times. It's a total slog with limited ammo and health, but in contrast the game early on actually teaches you how to move, approach battles and manage your ammo/health and then when you get going and find the rhythm, you unlock power-ups which make these issues less of a consideration as @Stretch616 mentioned. The platforming also starts off rather basic but in the later stages there are plenty of challenging movement and momentum platforming situations which are pretty fun to pull off. I just wish the game showcased more of these early on because it doesn't sell itself very well until you reach the Cultist Base IMO. I also think this is one of the best optimised games ever made - literally 150fps+ at 21:9/1440p with every setting turned up to extreme along with full ray tracing which is absolutely insane. I couldn't even maintain 60fps with Portal RTX! Eternal also looks absolutely astounding I definitely recommend giving this a try or another shot. I know quite a few people who pulled the plug early like me because they couldn't adjust to the game's core design or get past the extremely mediocre first few hours but for less than £15 complete, it's an absolute steal!

Some more Doom Eternal

this is spot on @phil bottle and sadly you are right about the right wing groups. What I like about stoicism is that it is very contrary to how life is set up right now. Most people do not live their life according to a set of values or morals and always seek comfort rather than growth and development. Aurelius was a brutal person but he wanted great things for himself and the people of Rome - that’s what I admire

GeGe No Kitaro (Psx)

I'm chipping away at the SMG's currently and dabbling with the shotguns. But most of everything for me is done; except pistols of course or melee's. Nice job on the progress keep it up!!! Let's knock out these camos

It's going quite well for me and I'm getting through them quite well as I'm now up to 35 platinums so closing on Polyatomic. That's 12 assault rifles (all except the new FR advancer as I've not unlocked it in the battle pass yet) 6 Sniper rifles (again, all except the new Carrack 300 as I've not unlocked it in the battle pass yet) 5 Shotguns (MX guardian I'm working on gold currently so should be done soon) 3 SMG's - VEL46, MX9 and Vaznev. I've got gold on the rest so shouldn't be too bad getting long shots 3 Marksman rifles - EBR14, SPR and LM-S. The rest are gold and halfway through the Lockwood Mk2. 7 Pistols - that's all of them. For those counting along, that's 36. I did the GS Magna at lunch today but it hasn't counted for some reason. It does seem camo's have been bugged since the update as I noticed a few times guns I know I have platinumed don't show it unlocked in the challenges. I think the Lachman sub or the Lockwood Mk2 are the next guns I'll do so I'll have to keep an eye on if they register.

Just placed Gold 1 for 2v2 with randoms 🙄

Definitely, nothing worse than randoms on Rocket League 😂 Biggest word of advise would be finding a team for competitive, otherwise play casual until you find a good teammate and use the Group-Up feature and play competitive then. I completely agree — I don't play Solo often for this reason exactly, it is so mentally difficult. (Plus you don't have teammates to blame if you lose 😂)

Silver 3 isn't bad! Are you queuing up with randoms or have you got a team? I'm a Diamond 2 in Solo, Platinum 3 in Duo, and don't know what rank for Trio, as myself @GazzaGarratt, @Macca89 and @LordBaguette tend to mess around with 3's.

I did do all the pistols platinum during the last camp event once I realised how easy it was using shipment HC. The gaurdian gold was one of the easiest ever and I also did the intervention sniper or whatever it's called.

MC Guardian gold. Loads on fun on Shipment when you get a decent lobby.

You twat, I thought you had some epic news about Vampire: the Masquerade, as the single player seems to have dropped off the face of the earth... This spam is from June 😜

Chatting about it the other day, I think we all played it a little too video game linearly (go here, do this, go there, kill that) rather than taking advantage of the openness it offers. As Elliott was saying, at the end, about some of the things we could have done. Also I watched a little of Critical Role's season 3 campaign, not so much for the entertainment of it, but it's interesting seeing how they play in terms of interaction with each other, asking more in character questions to the DM or even more random things like pickpocketing an NPC, going to get a beer mid quest or even just walking off as a fight takes place. But all that is going to come with experience of DnD as it was quite bitty as we kept needing to ask questions on what to do or what we could do. Not to mention more familiarity with your character and getting used to playing that role. But it has definitely piqued my interest and would definitely be down to having another go. I appreciate for our first go, or goes, a one and done is best but I do see the appeal of a much longer campaign though, this is FG, so we'd never manage to organise it for more than a few weeks 😄

So off the back of Saturday's DnD night, my wife was paying attention throughout it seems and she has been chatting to me about it since and want's to give it a go herself ^_^ So if we do this again in the future I have another player 🙂 We have also ordered one of the starter kits so we can have a play at home (my brother's joining us too) so that should be good fun! I think @Lurchzy need's to plan another night to complete this as well 🙂 Maybe sometime in September? (I imagine people are on holiday's over the next month or so). But yeah it was great fun and definitely something I'd do again.

Just camp in a corner with ghost, cold blooded, an lmg with fire rounds and a deployable cover and who needs dead silence 🙂

Went to see it last week and agree it's a great film, it's long but I never felt the length was an issue. Jumping around the timeline was annoying a little and I would have liked to see a little more around the Manhatten project timeline but I'll definitely watch it again when it's available on TV.

Literally just watched Oppenheimer and it was bloody good. Well directed, great story (not overly bogged down with quantum physics language) and brilliant cast with Cillian Murphy knocking it out the park with a lot of good supporting appearances from familiar Christopher Nolan actors (interesting to see how young people will react to RDJ not being Tony Stark in a major movie). Definitely recommend.

Death's Door was one of my favourite games on the Switch, so I'll definitely be picking up that and giving it a go on the PS!

I won't lie I am pretty stoked about dreams, it's one of those that I have always fancied picking up and it could open up the door for loads more content being added to it
