The hosting is £8.99 a month. The actual domain is £39.99 a year (We're being ripped off here I think, loads of other places are like £10 a year, need to look in to that) and the software is $175 a year, although I don't pay this, so we're at the mercy of rogue agents when shit goes wrong, these guys charge about $10 an hour (I use Fiverr). It's not much really, I can stomach it no issue at all, but some folks like to chip in so hey, I ain't complainin'!
One billion pounds!
Nah, as I say every time I do these threads, only what people can afford to spare, every bit helps but I don't want anyone's money unless they can comfortably afford it. The way it works is that we have a forum Paypal account, where the payments towards the hosting and renewal fees go and any support stuff we need. The money that is required to keep the site up and running goes straight out of that but I've also got my bank card linked to it so if it runs dry the money is simply taken out of my account rather than being shut down. I don't mind paying for it at all, but some folks have suggested this way of doing things and it's worked fine so far.

It's that time of the year again folks. I'm going to start making these threads on a quarterly basis so I don't come across as a naggy twat but still keep the finances up to date.
If anyone's got any spare change down the back of their sofa, feel free to chuck a penny or two in the pot!
Cheerio!
Same here. This time last year we were basking in the sun but this year we're still wearing woollies and hats, it's ridiculous.
Summer had best make up for lost time, this weather is terrible.
Again, retards ( I don't know why I've started using that word, I hate it. I feel dirty using it but there's no other word that conveys my feelings quite as well).
Here are some facts about Destiny and Warframe:
I enjoy playing Destiny.
I don't enjoy playing Warframe.
I don't know why this has to be such a huge issue. Play what you enjoy playing, don't play what you don't enjoy playing.
It's not rocket science fellas.
Crysis 1, all Half Life games, STALKER, Red Alert, WoW, Starcraft 1 & 2, all the Warcraft games, MW2, BO2, Bulletstorm, to name a few. Bart hit the nail on the head really, I don't like having stupid long tutorials in games.
115k orders on the press release alone apparently. For the only successful car company since the 60s to rake in that much loyalty is a huge deal. Of course the fact that Elon Musk is behind it all means a lot too, I'm seriously considering a model 3 as well. I love Musk, he's a proper innovator, someone who's bucked the trend of every successful businessman so far, literally giving the industry the finger and making it big to boot.
I reckon Detroit must hate this guy with every fibre of their existence.
Here's a good documentary on him, he's a true inspiration for me.
I love the roly poly bomb, the one I use fires some rocket in to the air and sets fire to everyone around it, so it gives you a window to shoot them whilst they scream like little bitches and try put their fires out. It's more utility than damage, although I suspect that the turret with flamethrower might be very good at this too.
It's still pretty painful for me to read this thread as I never thought I'd see the day where we lost an FGer. I was thinking of doing something for the family, even just a bunch of flowers or something but I just don't do well with this kind of thing. I feel bad for not doing anything, sorry Dizzyboi. Rest in peace my friend.
There's two sides to that coin and on either side is a massive following. Modding games is a massive hobby for millions of people, and most of the mods are for fluffy bullshit.
Then there are games like TF2 which look like this:
And yet is one of the most fun games you can play and has a following which could probably dwarf that of CoD.
He was alright in Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
Sandler was funny in Happy Gilmore, that's about it for me. I find him incredibly unfunny, but then I tend to have a very dark sense of humour.
Here's a link for The Big Short. This is my own personal Dropbox and I've verified the file safe so go ahead if you want it. The film is excellent, hands down one of my favourite of all time. I can't stand Christian Bale, nor can I stand Steve Carrell, and I absolutely fucking loathe Ryan Gosling, but if there was ever a film to change my mind, this was it. Seriously, download it and watch it. I wouldn't usually share something like this but it'd be a shame if you guys didn't get to watch this film. The subject matter will make people turn their nose up so I'm keeping quiet about it, here's a trailer:
