  1. Surprised not to see a thread about this one. Went to see it tonight courtesy of a good friend, and it is hands down the best Deadpool film yet. Some of the surprises are absolutely fantastic. You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't see this one on the big screen. 9/10 for me.
  2. My problem with subscriptions is that game devs can now get lazy as there's no competition. In ye olde' days you'd have to spend you had limited cash to spend on games so you had to choose, which made game devs fight for your money with all manner of fluff and extra features. Nowadays there's no incentive for them as it all goes in to the subscription service anyway. If they don't like your game they simply delete it and download another one, and they know this.
  3. As summer draws to a close we're all gonna be doing our annual slow pilgrimage back to the playstations and PCs and start putting up with each other's bullshit again, and that means organizing stuff like FG Fridays, competitions, tournaments, etc. on top of an increased amount of posting and traffic on the forums as we'd rather talk shit on here than freeze our dangly bits off in the cold. As you'll also all have noticed, the forum is getting slow and clunky. Invision, the people who created this forum, are now stopping support for self-hosted packages like ours, and moving to a cloud only solution. This will cost $89 a month and will mean we can demand proper service from them, rather than mess about with whoever mates-rates devs we happen to be able to find on the day. La, Lee and myself have been chatting about this in our super secret admin whatsapp group and we all agree that we're too old and busy to be messing about with slow software and unreliable support, so we're quite keen to move to the cloud solution. The pros of this are that we have one company to yell at rather than various people pointing fingers at each other, the forum will be faster, snappier, more secure and much more reliable. The con is that it'll cost a bit more. Thing is, like this forum, we're all a bit older, a bit more plump in the wallet and I don't think any of us are scraping pennies every month. There are probably 25-30 regulars on here, so raising $90 a month should be a non-event. We'll also be reviewing the forum's needs, whether we're getting any value from the third party apps we're using, as well as the dedicated servers we're hosting for Minecraft / Valheim / Etc. It might mean a cull, but we'll see how the response to this post goes. So please respond to the poll, even if you're a current subscriber. Please also only respond if this money can be relied upon for the foreseeable future. Cheerio peeps, see you all online very soon ❤️
  4. Fuck, I completely forgot I got hammered last night and deleted COD and installed Xdefiant. Will need to give it a go tho, Gary's pretty convinced.
  5. I've just edited the OP to remove Kyla's full name, too many creeps around. Also non-FG people.
  6. Add Kyla and myself to it, will ping you some wedge later.
  7. No mate, nobody would. Sorry.
  8. That was some sweet fucking justice. The lengths that dude has had to go to to get those buffs is unreal, he literally tripled his character's power with them which is why he was such a bitch to fight. Unfortunately he came up against a frost mage, the last thing you'd want to fight as a melee class. Ziqo got lucky there, if it wasn't for that final stun the paladin would've wiped the floor with him. Great fight 😄
  9. It's a fantastic game, the absolute carnage and chaos is unlike any other game I've ever played and accidentally dropping an orbital on your team mates is so satisfying hilarious embarrassing. Looking forward to another sesh tonight.
  10. Played all night, zero problems. No they don't, this isn't a Sony problem.
  11. This is getting such a panning it's hilarious. What does this do that Sea of Thieves doesn't?
  12. It's so weird that you say this as I reinstalled it on Friday. @techno and I were gonna have a little play but a 132gb download quickly put an end to that. It's fully updated and ready to go though, maybe I'll even put something in the calendar for Friday. I'm so bored of cod it's unreal. I even subbed to WoW for a month to see if that would keep me busy but after running a few dungeons I'm just bored again. Helldivers 2 looks ace but my days of spending cash on games that get played a few times and then get abandoned are done, I'm only spending cash on stuff I really intent to get stuck in to. I really wish Playstation would give trial periods of games, even just an hour to get a feel for it is usually enough. That being said, it is payday on Friday and this sweetens the deal even more: 15% off PlayStation Gift Cards - from £4.25 for £5 to £85 for £100 | hotukdeals WWW.HOTUKDEALS.COM
  13. Yessir. Loving it, what an amazing place to work!
  14. Bit gay this innit
  15. Everything. I finished the camos on MW3, now I've gone back to fill in the gaps on the MW2 weapons to complete that too. Dunno what I'll do once I'm done with those, apart from realise what a monumental waste of my life it's been. Still, shiny internet guns. Can't go wrong.
  16. Preferrably PS5, something RPG-ish, must have both MP and SP, preferrably playable together, like Density, but with NEW CONTENT EVERYBODY. Anyways. Got bored of WoW. Warframe never took off for me, almost completed the camos on corrodoory so that's gonna take a back seat soon. I need a game I can both have a good sesh on, or hop on for 30 mins and log off again without losing progress. Not something hardcore, I don't mind a bit of survival stuffs but I tend to die a lot so would like to keep my shit. Bit of action, atmosphere, yanno, like Density but newerer and betterer. Any ideas?
  17. YO WHAT'S GOIN ON GUYS IT'S YOUR BOY DIDDLYTOTHEDEE DIDDUMS COMIN AT YA LIVE FROM MY WORK PC (if you know, you know, soz in advance for the spams lol)
  18. The entire NFS series.
  19. @WelchyTV make a new thread mate, and pop a link in here. These mugs will never click on this thread. Call it "FG GOTY 2023 - Nominations" or something!
  20. Still more content than Destiny tho
  21. Tell everyone to nominate 5 games, let it run for a week or so, and then tally up the most common ones and create a poll. If you need any support with this let me know, happy to help out.
  22. This sounds like a fantastic idea, you have my full support. For creating polls, when you create a new topic there should be a tab like this: I'm not sure how to hide the results, I've just had a look around the admin panel and it's not a standard feature of the software so I'll have a look around and see if there's a plugin or something for it.
  23. From a Saffrican radio show: This one's also fucking hilarious:
