Picked it up on Steam yesterday. It's getting rave reviews despite being early access. Viking survival game with up to 10 person coop.
 
I popped in to set up the graphics and I'll have a session at some point this weekend.
 
Valheim on Steam
STORE.STEAMPOWERED.COM A brutal exploration and survival game for 1-10 players, set in a procedurally-generated purgatory inspired by viking...  

Anfield is such a fortress, even Liverpool can't win there😎

4 red cards last night weren't there? I missed the games due to GT Sport night but I swear Arsenal were going to go 2-0 up from a penalty and next thing I knew they were 2-1 down and their keeper was walking off the pitch!
 
Rich @tronic44, you really should've put a bet on 9-0!!

I do wish someone would win 10-0 just so they can forget about the Man U v Ipswich 9-0 score 🙄

Could we? I mean, how dare we? Try and stay in Division 2 and mount a challenge to the promised land? Nah, you're alright thanks 🤣
 
An incredible start to the night had us thinking the impossible of keeping ourselves in the mighty Championship and then mounting a challenge to get up to Division 1 for the first time in our FGFC FIFA 21 existence. A mighty battle started with FG going 1-0 down after half an hour. The main contributing factor went to Torpedo Tony @TonyAE86  having lag, but not by the conventional issues we usually find. This time out it was the...Washing Machine. Yep, apparently all of the spins impact his WiFi speeds these days. Having said that though, we immediately sprung into life with a bullet from Gin Tronic @tronic44 at the near post.
 
The positivity was growing, and with a goal from either side in a matter of minutes to make it 2-2, we found ourselves with a corner. Tony looking for our headshot king, Dennis Rodman @Lurch ...but we didn't expect the following at all.
 
 
Mulletov @G_dub52  rounded off a 4-3 win in our first match and we were pumped for what was to come. Forgetting the unfortunate blip straight after where we went unfortunately down 3-1, even though we dominated the play througout, the momentum was took forward to the third game of the night where it was a near perfect performance. The assist king @Macca89  got his shooting boots on and rounded up the Man of the Match perfect 10 performance with a sublime hatrick from some amazing assists and team play throughout a 6-0 riot. Tom @LordBaguette  was notching the penalties early doors and the back 4 of Club Tropicana @GazzaGarratt, Sensual Choc @jordie1892 , Dennis Rodman @Lurch  and Torpedo Tony @TonyAE86  had a stormer. Unfortunately, previous days results alongside the second game blip left FGFC needing yet another win just to survive relegation to Division 3. A stellar performance with yet another @Macca89  goal set us up nicely but an equaliser shortly followed and for all the tea in Rich's house, we just couldn't push a winner past the keeper. It was worth mentioning though James yet again kept us in the game again with some fine defending. A quick highlight reel below was a delight to clip.
 
 
 
So Season 44 was upon us and after a short break and a swap around of all our positions, we commenced another season in Division 3. When all the positions change up somewhat, we always struggle to find the momentum again and it hurt us badly at the start, going down heavily in a 3-0 loss. We dug deep to then take a 4-1 lead in the next game to nearly throw it away with two late goals...apparently something about James making a rare mistake had to to be noted down on the stats. I'm not that harsh though, so i'll just write about for everyone to see rather than stick on the infographic below 😎
 
Inconsistency was definitely showing again though with another 2-0 defeat hitting us hard, we then tried to buck the trend of losing too many matches early doors. With the game poised at 2-2 and battling extremely hard into the closing stages, GD Pontevel broke forward after another chance for FGFC was saved. The rest was history. Can somebody lend us a spare FIFA script when they get chance please?
 
 
 
A successful 3-1 win followed this stinging defeat, but we couldn't keep up the levels we had started out at the beginning of the night and aptly ended the evening in a goal crazy 5-4 defeat.
 
Not a night we expected and I think the results were extremely harsh on us all, especially when there was some lovely football being played and a few belters that went in. @Macca89  showed his worth this week topping the Goals and Assists columns with Connor @JamaicanSteve  starting to slot in nicely after his loan deal was made permanent when Chill Ya Beans United accepted FGFC's bid of 2 baked beans tins and a packet of Uncle Ben's Golden Rice. We're still fortunate they didn't check the Use By Date in advance.
 
Superb night of banter and laughs along the way as always. GGFG

Situations like this do tend to bring the best out in people but like you say it's normally the other side we hear about.
 
Just found this one, BBC do make it hard to share any stories haha
 
The volunteer army helping self-isolating neighbours
WWW.BBC.CO.UK The coronavirus outbreak has left many feeling trapped indoors, but for some help may not be far away.  

Stand outs for me this week were;
 
Rich @tronic44 Brands Hatch is a tricky track and he bossed it getting, I think, his first podium finish.  Climbing from 7th to 3rd on a track with so little to no good overtaking places and a lot of places to make mistakes is great.  Laguna Seca in some ways is similar to Brands and Rich held his own.
 
Mike @Mikepjbell racing in a compromised position due to his back problems but managing to qualify 6th in every race and gain a place or 2 each race finishing 4th, 5th an 5th showing off his speed and consistency (in more than just hitting Phil).
 
Kiwi @JBR-Kiwi As ever, he keeps me honest up front and often pushes me and challenges me to drive faster.  The results don't necessarily reflect how close the racing is at times and I dread to think how close they would be if Kiwi had more time to practise.
 
DOTW - This has to go to Lurch though, new to the game and absolutely smashed it.  Qualifying 3rd at Brands, which as I said above is a tricky track, which sadly didn't carry through to a podium in the race.  Though he made up for it by getting a podium at Laguna Seca and holding his own around Tskuba.
 

Really liking it Lee, great work as always!

Yeah looks good mate, your hard work doesn't go unnoticed. 👍

OMG I have to do an extra click to access the forum.  Unacceptable!
 
Looks good mate, really highlights the extra things this place does other than just a forum.

Looks ace mate! Well done. Now go get some sleep 😄 

I've not had any sleep...but there are some changes made as of late last night to FG.
 
For a change, no long essay from me, no long explanation - go and have a look. Massive room for scope. Just want to hear your thoughts.

Welcome to the forum dude!

Welcome to the forum dude!

Hi everyone, I'm Ant and new to the forums. I've been a gamer since i got my first playstation back in the 90s and have been a playstation guy ever since (though i did have a couple of xbox's too lol) and recently managed to upgrade to PS5. I play all sorts of games, but love horror and action games. I'm currently playing Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, God of War and Maneater, with a bit of Fifa 19 now and again (career mode mind you lol). Looking to get into this online multiplayer lark and improve upon my noob status lol. Looking forward to chatting games and getting online with peeps 🙂

This actually looks amazing - modders even upstaging the developers! They’ll probably fix the game before CDPR do..
Just an incredible job

I played the new zombies for a few hours the other week, managed to stumble into the easter egg stuff but then had no idea what to do. I know they're looking to bring in a proper story mode for zombies but i'm liking the new version so far. You can call in a copper and escape at round 10 for some bonus stuff or you can hang around for longer and keep fighting.
 
Has anyone given this a go yet or is there anyone that would be up for teaming up and seeing if we can do the easter egg? I may have to eventually look up how to do it as i imagine it's almost impossible to work out unless you play it every day....i'm not even sure i can remember what i did 😄

I think I’ve tried all the VR headsets apart from the PSVR, the Index wins hands down for me. It’s not just resolution, the fit and feel is a lot nicer.
 
Also the controllers are the dogs ballz. 

Dude this is a quality write up!
 
Ive honestly loved playing recently, cheers for making me get it haha
 
Also when the hell did I get man of the match? 😂

As we can't really travel at the moment I  thought I'd share some pictures of some of the places I've been over the last decade in the hopes that you guys would do the same, the one thing that has changed with covid is the lack of travel, true for others it's much worse so I get that a lot of us have been lucky so far. 
Pics from Norway, Australia and aushwitz and closer to home Scotland,Wales, IOM and Yorkshire.
 
Hope the link works, it said something about not being able to embed
