Sup dude! Long time no see, of course we remember you! We have a few DayZ players on here, all top quality lads, I'm sure they'll be along shortly to say hello. How've you been?

He's great, love his vids. I've done a fucktonne of research on this game. At first I thought everyone was joking about the whole walking simulator thing, suffice to say I was more than miffed when I found out it's just that: a walking simulator. I love weird shit in games, but this game just combines too much weird shit. The babies in the bottle thingies, the weird ghost things, the underworld thing, the timefall, these on their own in various games would be great elements, but combined in this game they just don't gel well, and in fact are so disjointed that it feels forced. It's like Kojima just kept having all these ideas over the years and wrote them down, the instead of creating a good game around each concept, he just shoved them all in one game and it just falls flat, all of it. It's a shame because these elements have some serious potential. Just think of the whole Timefall thing in a game like Horizon Zero Dawn. That mechanic would've fitted that whole universe like a glove, but here it's just.... shit. At every point in my research I've been waiting for that POW! moment. That moment when the game just explodes in to this awesome twisted story full of amazing creatures, fights, adventures, and yet it never comes. It's just walking over and over. I also heard one reviewer saying that they were delivering pizzas, I legit thought they were taking the piss until I saw a clip of the game where Sam was literally delivering pizzas. Again, another aspect which is great is the whole multiplayer thing where you never actually see other players but their actions influence your world. This is such a good concept and in a different universe could elevate a game to legendary status but here it just feels like a shit, forced mechanic for the sake of it. It's like Kojima designed this beautiful world and then didn't know what to do with it, so grabbed his notebook full of ideas, and shoved them all in that world, all at once, and then designed the quickest game he could around it, just to showcase what he's done, rather than really exploit it properly. And if we're being totally honest here, let's cut to the chase: This game is being held up by the Kojima name. Imagine if Bethesda released this, it'd be in the bargain bin on release day. The sales of this game are literally being fed by hype and reputation. It's a house of cards, the reputation will only hold it up for so long, eventually the fanboys will move on to the next big thing and this title will crash like a house of cards. 10/10, awesome game.

See mom? I told you we'd be raking in the members one day! Who's laughing now huh? Honestly I hope they manage to fix retail. Classic is ace, and they've just released some PVP stuff if you wanna check it out, but ultimately the best WoW is a combination of both. Lose the flying mounts, dial the gear back to Lich King levels so just regular gear with stuff like enchants and gems, lose the garrisons and class halls, make the professions relevant again, merge a load of servers and ditch the layering, make the dungeons more challenging, etc. The game is superb but it's no longer the WoW I once loved which is a shame. Anyway, where you from mate? We have a few 'Murican members here. Oddly most are in the legal system somehow, maybe they're keeping an eye on us, who knows. We have a cop, a detective, a prison moneyman, actually this is a bit freaky when I think of it. You a fed?

Retail can get fucked. That game died at Cataclysm. This bullshit where your gear is almost irrelevant because of a fucking necklace is bollocks, screw all that. We've just started fresh on Classic, my priest is level 10, we're just fucking about and playing when it suits us (which for me is most days, the rest are console peasants who occasionally elevate themselves to master race status to stem the flow of incessant whinging from me). Join us, level with us, it's great. No obligations, we just do our thing and help each other out, the way the game should be played, nonnadis you-must-be-here-at-8pm-for-a-raid shite. Oh and welcome to the forum, how'd you find us?
-
You let me know when you want it and I delete the character, releasing the name. I simply reserved it issall. I was gonna take all his clothes off and dance naked in the middle of Ironforge for a bit but you'll never live that down. I can still be persuaded however. As for a guild, it's like a clan in Destiny. It's literally just a smaller community in which you build relationships, help each other out, etc. It's 100% social, there are no perks to it, it's what you make of it. Every wow player, apart from the hardcores, are filthy casuals. We play because we enjoy the game, we're in no rush to get anywhere, it's all about the journey, not the destination. The fact that the destination has loads of cool shit is just a bonus. The hardcores can fuck off, ain't nobody got time fo' dat. Also I've decided you're going to be a mage or rogue this time, so start looking at guides and shit and decide. One is a caster, the other is a backstabbing, invisible-going, pop out of nowhere and shank you fam cunt. Great fun.
-
Oh and haven't found a guild yet. Haven't really bothered tbh.
-
Sent you a few bits last night. @Misneach_ thanks for the stuff big guy but priests can't wear leather 😄 I'm also gonna send anything that'll benefit a warrior to marc cos that's some fucking dedication that. Priest is level 10 and in Westfall.

I've made a post on the forums, dunno if it'll result in anything but we'll see. [A] A few adventurers looking for a decent home! EU.FORUMS.BLIZZARD.COM Are you looking for a few folks to join your guild? Well, you’re in luck, because there are a few of us looking for a guild, and are happy to transfer servers. The TL;DR is that we’re all middle aged men with jobs...
-
Cool. Let's do Alliance then. I only say Horde because it's a change of scenery, but if we're taking on some newer faces then being Alliance would be greatly beneficial as we've both got fucktonnes of experience in it and can offer advice on where to go, which dungeons to do, whatever. Plus I fucking love my Dorf, he reminds me on @Nutcuttlit with his scottash accent.

I had a massive rant typed out to explain what kind of cretins we're dealing with on our server but it's not worth it, so here's what we're gonna do anyway. We're leaving Flamelash because cunts. That's the TL;DR of it. So we need to pick a server, which gives us a few options, the only requirements are PVE, and high pop. Nonnadis low pop bollocks, no more PVP, and certainly no RP, because we all have lives and women and don't need to get our kicks off to fantasies of banging night elves in sheds. @Middle Class Caveman will likely pick one, please post it here when you do. The next choice is Alliance or Horde. As most of us are fed up with Alliance at the moment we're leaning towards Horde. This is still flexible obviously, so chime in. Once we've made that decision, it's class selection time. Personally I'm going priest again, because priests are amazing and piss easy to level and everyone always needs healers. Will likely do a warrior alt because tanks are always in demand. @Middle Class Caveman has mentioned a rogue, druid or huntard, he'll hafta see. @Misneach_ whatcha gonna be? @J&B? For @GazzaGarratt I'd say either a warlock or mage. Leigh played a Paladin up to level 14 so it's no fucking wonder he's not sucked in to the game, paladins suck balls. Maybe a rogue actually, Leigh loves burst damage and rogues are one of the highest bursts in the game. @tronic44 has even downloaded the game, for him I'd definitely say mage or warlock. Mages can make food, water and teleports, warlocks can summon and have pets. I'll link some videos below to help you guys with your decision. @crispymorgan needs to just succumb and get on with it goddammit. The final question is guild, having run our very own FG guild for the last couple of months I can honestly say I'm just fed up with it, I don't have the time to do the recruiting and whatnot, when I log on I just want to play, not fuck about managing shit. I'll happily start another guild but I expect others to help run it and recruit too, not leave it all to me. I've also had many, many people ask me if I want to join their guilds after healing them because I'm just an epic healer (no jokes, I actually really am an amazeballs healer, think Mercy and multiply that by 10), and having played the game for well over a decade now, and known you lot for just as long if not longer, I can honestly say that you guys would be superb in whatever role you decide to play because you're considerably smarter than the average gamer who, let's be honest, would probably lose a game of chess to a retarded tadpole. Here are some vids for inspiration and to help you pick your class: Wille's "Was it any good though" series (very good, very informative). Once you've picked a class, Wille's "Playing to your class' strengths" series is also very good. Madseason is one of the best Youtubers for WoW content. He sounds like he's about to slit his wrists but he's actually very informative and often entertaining. This video is a great resource to have on whilst cleaning / ironing / wanking / whatever: That's all for now, get your shit together you noobs.

So it's a load of wank. Iiterally a walking simulatorm trying to be edgy and amazeballs by being pretty with weird and stupid shit thrown in. This should've been a movie, not a game.

Has anyone shipped their PC ? What was it like?
Diddums replied to CC0198's topic in Any General Discussion
Ha, funny story. When I moved to London, my hand luggage was literally my PC. No jokes. I took the side panel off, removed the graphics card so it didn't flop around, and carried it with me like that. No questions asked at all, but then I'm sexy AF so maybe the airport security took a shine to me, who knows. The people in the plane were clearly impressed by my ability to bring an entire PC on to an aircraft, they couldn't stop looking at me, presumably due to my marvelous ingenuity and not because I delayed their flight. That's not the funny bit though, the funny part was that I had a packet of tobacco with me, and in that pack was a small baggy of weed which the security fellas kindly removed from my person because they're haters. When I got to London that pack of tobacco vanished in to a suitcase or whatever when I bought a pack of fags. It was only about 4 months after moving here that I found it again, and doing that emo memories bollocks that we do, I had a little fiddle and found another bag of weed in it. That was a fucking good saturday. Anyways. As long as your PC is put together well, I'd recommend removing the graphics card and packing it well, it'll be fine. -
All your asses? kicked 'em. Every fucking one.

I don't recall seeing this name before. Introduce yourself soldier!

Community Calendar: GTA Races bitches
Diddums replied to crispymorgan's topic in General Gaming Discussion
Your mum is a gta race night -
Like fuck are Activision suddenly gonna become good guys. Where there's money, there's a way for Activision to extract it. Of course the blame doesn't entirely lie at Activision's feet, it's the dumb cunt gamers who spend all the money on this shit in the first place. Close the tap and they'll soon move on to other things. Unfortunately gamers are in general dumb fucks who keep spending money on stupid shit so the Megacorp Inc publishers will always be there to milk it. I wonder when they're releasing the Celestial Steed for WoW Classic.

Well this is a complete and utter clusterfuck, isn't it? I kept quiet on it at first because this was obviously such an unprecedented action about such a complicated subject that has no place in video games that I didn't really blame Blizzard's PR team for battening down the hatches as quickly as possible, I imagine there was a lot of panic at Blizzard HQ when it happened and a lot of "omg wtf do we do????". I gave them the benefit of the doubt thinking they'd sort it out correctly but it seems all they've done is reduce the bans to 6 months, although they let the fella keep his money. What they should've done is gone "shit, sorry guys, we panicked for a bit and went in to full damage control mode until we figured out every angle on the situation, we've rescinded the bans, awarded the winnings and let things carry on as normal, but please be aware that our events are meant for entertainment purposes only, we've implemented a policy to prevent this from happening again and we'd appreciate it if all our players, commentators and viewers could respect this" Done. "Fair play" they'd say. "Well done Blizz, we respect your honesty" they'd say. But no, everyone's burning down the house because of Blizzard's inability to maintain a proper PR element. Idiots. Will it stop be playing WoW? Well, put it this wasy: If your crack dealer voted leave and you were remain, would you stop smoking his crack? No? Me neither.

I had this the other day too, with our Devolo homeplug system. I ended up doing a complete factory reset on the whole system which resolved it. Fuck, I should've sent you some networking goodies too, didn't even think of it!

Hello! Welcome to the board, please leave your brain at the door, it won't be needed. I am pleasantly surprised to see you're not a bot, it's not often we get normal people on here so I would like to extend you the warmest of welcomes and wish you a pleasant stay. Please read all the warning signs, we accept no responsibility for you accidentally shoving a demo disc up your chocolate starfish. Thanks for posting this game, I think it looks pretty decent to be honest, I'll certainly be giving it a look in when it hits!

Well it's quite simple really, and all boils down to one thing: It's a shame that people put wealth before the wellbeing of others. Make mo mistake I am driven by money, and will never stop earning it, but I also like to think I'm a fairly generous person at times, and what's mine, is also everyone else's. You gotta pay for my chocolate starfish though, nobody gets that for free.

This is who they selected as their spokesman for NATIONAL FUCKING TELEVISION! No. Sorry. They had a golden opportunity handed to them on a silver platter and only reinforced my opinions that they’re all wastes of space who don’t really give a fuck. Useless parasites, the lot of them.

Let's be honest, all these extinction rebellion people are a bunch of attention seeking, time rich retards who have found a way to be the center of attention by fucking off every other person they can. None of them give a shit about the environment or extinction, they're all too lazy and stupid to find other ways to justify their pathetic existence so they mob up like racist football thugs and make as much of a cunt of themselves as they can. Meanwhile those who actually DO give a shit are running effective campaigns, getting the community involved, promoting recycling, cleaning up the oceans, etc. If someone were to come up with a profitable way to allow businesses to make money AND help our environment they'd be Oprah rich overnight, and I'm sure the hive mind of XR could probably rustle up a few braincells to at least stimulate and provoke thought in the field, but nah,vfuck all that, let's go and piss off the very people we're trying to convince to side with us. That's definitely gonna work, isn't it? There are TONS of little changes happening, but these idiots want it all done overnight. Paying for plastic bags helped, banning plastic straws helped, Sainsbury's now has reusable produce bags, changing emissions laws on vehicles has helped, I can go on and on. I wonder how many of these successful campaigns have gone "yeah, we did that because some dirty unemployed scum were camping in a street and pissing in the bushes". I'll certainly have a guess: none. There's no denying that shit needs to happen but there's also no denying that it's happening. There's also no denying that these idiots are having an adverse effect on any person I've spoken to about it (apart from one, who's hot AF, but anyway), so what they think they're achieving and what they're actually achieving are so far apart that the term delusional doesn't even cover it. I reckon we round them all up, stick them on proper oldschool environmentally friendly ships made of wood and oars, and let them row all the way to China and India where their oh-so-merry intentions can be put on display right in the middle of the world's most polluting industries. See how long they stick to their guns then. Just look at that dipshit who went on telly dressed as a broccoli. Zero fucking clue what he was talking about, zero scientific evidence for claims he couldn't even explain, refused to reveal his identity, just sat there thinking he was funny when he was literally just revealing his true self to the world, as someone who's just in it for a laugh m8, lol. And this is what 99% of these cunts are like. If we want to start making changes can we start by culling these dumb fucks so we reduce our carbon footprint?
