I'm honestly at a loss as to where to begin with this, so I'll let the trailer do the talking: The number one comment across most videos is "Nice to see they're making PS2 games again", something I think I agree with 🤣

SMN?

We have fake grass on our balcony.

Yanno Dave, we always shopped at Sainsbury's for years, however during this lockdown we were forced to try Aldi because their checkout staff are so quick that the queues are less than half the time of Sainsbury's. I've always loved Aldi, even back when I lived in Holland however when I moved here I always just accepted that Sainsbury's / Tescos were superior. Anyway, we're doing most of our shopping at Aldi now and their extra mature cheddar is glorious! That will definitely be going on but I wouldn't be surprised if Kyla makes a little blue cheese dip for herself (I can't stomach the stuff).

U wot m8

My latest thing is steak. Not cheapo shit steak but nice cuts. Granted they cost a bit more but are fucking lovely. The problem is that the cuts we buy are always too big to have one each, and too small to share, so tonight we're cooking just the one and will have some nice steak & cheese rolls 😎

🤣

A few strings? Is that what you call a cricket bat to the face?

Fuck! I'm gonna need to bring my mug in to work. Also my drinking device.

Event Title: Corrodoory: Euan's Attending Edition! Event Author: Diddums Calendar: Community Calendar Event Date: 05/29/2020 08:00 PM WW2 it is folks, FFXIV turned out to be a fuckup. See you on the battlefield soldiers! Corrodoory: Euan's Attending Edition! N.B. If viewing this via the FG App, please visit the Calendar event via browser to RSVP. Thanks.

Ok well let me fix this situation then: We're doing WW2 😄 Uncle Euan said he might even show up so it's the least we can do. Also, you're welcome to organize R6 nights on Fridays, but it's the one night I enjoy a jolly good drink and fuck playing that when I'm pissed. Anyway. Go download WW2, let's do it!

Well, I spent the week shoving FFXIV down everyone's throats, only to discover that it's not gonna work because reasons (need paid accounts to party up, and even then need level 15 before coming out of the starting zones). So, we need something new. Lolliott ( @Middle Class Caveman ) suggested CoD WW2 as it's free on the PSN store this week, whatcha fink? Will hafta download tonight though in preparation. @GazzaGarratt @J&B @Nutcuttlit @slamminbones @tronic44 @Stretch616 @LordBaguette

No sir.

Done ❤️

Battle Royale should be flung in the annals of history. Your wish however is my command 😄

Morning all 🙂 I spoke to Leigh this morning who let me have a little fiddle with all the buttons: WoW forum is now gone, topics moved to role playing games. Featured games merged in to game categories, featured games forum deleted. Created a FFXIV sub-forum in Role Playing Games. Moved all the Division 2 threads in to the Role Playing Games category, deleted forum. Any suggestions please pop them in here, see you online!

Nah, not at all, I'm still very much on PC, but this was the culmination of a few things: 1: Being fed up of not having something I could really sink my teeth in to on PS4. I don't mean like CoD, I mean like Destiny. Hours and hours, with friends, long sessions, drunk, sober, day, night, whatever. A proper meaty game. 2: Not playing on PS4 enough as that's where the majority of the people I tolerate play. 3: Being fed up with WoW, but not enough to cancel my sub, but still wanting to put it to rest so I have no excuse but to get on the likes of Star Citizenships, Sea of People with Long Fingers, Mingecraft, Runt: Mowdown, etc. I'll still very much be on PC, in fact this will likely increase my time on PC, just playing other things than WoW.

Seeing as I've been shoving this down everyone's throats this week I may as well do a little write up after a few hours this evening. Make no mistake, this is a PC port, plain and simple. The simple act of getting online involves creating an account, verifying email, etc. This is an MMO to the core, a fact it flaunts more than it hides. The controls are ridiculously complicated at first, but once you start figuring it out and perhaps most importantly, tweaking it to how you want it, it becomes second nature and muscle memory starts to take over. The character creation process is by far the best I've ever used, and for the first time in 36 years I actually spent 20 mins creating a character, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The music is very relaxing and peaceful, which is, for lack of a better word, lovely. There is a LOT to take in. This game tries to ease you in to it a bit but male no mistake: if you're not the kind of person to enjoy MMORPGs, you won't last an hour. That said, finally figuring stuff out is all the more satisfying for it. The interface and navigation is confusing as hell at first, but I'm gradually getting used to it. This isn't a game which dumbs things down for folks, it embraces all the complexities, all the intricacies, the customization options, the constant having to figure stuff out (for now at least) - it forces people to learn how things work and the experience is all the better for it. Last time I was this curious and intrigued about things was back in 2007 when I started playing World of Warcraft for the first time. The graphics are simple yet perfectly functional. I suspect it'll look a lot better on PC but the whole reason for me wanting to get in to this is because I miss playing on the PS4. The combat feels a bit clunky at first but I'm getting used to it, and pulling off some epic combos is very satisfying. The game has everything you could wish for in an MMO. I'm yet to find one single aspect of WoW that this doesn't offer, and in many ways a lot of the things this game does, and how it does them, feels like logical progress from the way WoW does things. There are plenty classes to go round, and you can genuinely make your character your own. The game works on the Holy Trinity principle: healer, tank, damage dealers. This is hands down the best system I've ever played in a game because you learn your role intimately. This was also the biggest disappointment for me in Destiny, when I found out that in raids you were just 6 dudes with guns, there are no specific roles. Being an absolute badass at your role, performing at your ultimate, knowing that your group wouldn't have killed the boss without you, is to this day the most satisfying feeling I have ever experienced in a game. Make no mistake: this is a game that will test you. I got close to chucking in the towel when I couldn't figure out how to get to a quest objective but perseverance paid off and the game is all the more rewarding for it. It's a shame it's an expensive game to play with a monthly sub as many consider that heresy but in my experience, sub based games are a whole new level of commitment from the developers. They engage in their communities and listen to what they have to say. The fact that Square Enix is one of the best around is just icing on the cake. I can see myself spending WoW levels of time playing this game. The amount of content is insane and might even be the first game I've ever played which can hold a candle to WoW and in many aspects, beat it. I can't wait for my next session. The learning curve is more of a cliff but then when every other game I've played in the last year or so has been about as sophisticated, and therefore rewarding as fucking Fortnite, this is a genuine refreshing change and one I honestly believe, based on my very short play time, the one I've been looking for for the last two years. And as you all know, the search has been very, very real. Anyway, meet Diddums Futtbucker:

Sadly that may end up down the pan, as it seems you can't party up on trial accounts. It's also a LOT of game to take in, coupled with the fact it's subscription based, will mean it'll only hold a few of us. I'm all over it already, it's awesome. @Middle Class Caveman create an event for WWII on Friday, if I can pull myself away from FFXIV long enough I'll hop on.

Yes sir!
