  1. I saw you playing this earlier and hoped you'd be letting us know how you find it. I'll be picking it up once they've ironed out the main bugs.
  2. By the way, SoT has crossplay activated so you can play on console or PC, and in the same game.
  3. I had to survive nearly 2 decades of underachievement as a Spurs fan, so petulant Arsenal fans are a bit of a joke, but as we like to say We sang it in France We sang it in Spain We sang in the sun And we sang in the rain They tried to stop us but you know what it did There's nothing I love more than being a yid.
  4. The Battlefield franchise is another kettle of fish entirely. Really wanted another Bad Company. I'd also have preferred a futuristic one over WW2.
  5. Sea Of Thieves is live again this weekend for another test. Available until Sunday morning (10am UK time) I'll probably stream it today or tonight. Free access via Xbox Insider if you have an Xbox log in: https://www.seaofthieves.com/insider
  6. Yeah, I think I'll be going back to BF4, I recently reinstalled it on PC.
  7. A sofa bed🤗 Mind you his neighbour's cat is an absolute freak.
  8. London's had a couple of days of snow in the end. I don't mind snow it's just this bitter wind that's annoying. With schools closed and a lot of people from work living outside London the office has been half empty. So I'm taking Friday off[emoji4] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  9. Book somewhere near the Victoria line. Preferably on the north side of the Thames if you have any sense[emoji16] If anyone's desperate and not allergic to cats, there's a sofa bed in Hackney. You do have one don't you Rich?[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  10. The conspiracy posts reminded me of this classic about bugging devices in your teeth lol.
  11. Yeah despite our best efforts looks like FA cup could be a goer. Let's see how it goes, we have to fight against VAR in addition to the team opposite🤣
  12. Make sure the goldfish are swimming upright though eh Dave😊
  13. No more sniper games or Didds will get a big head. I hate sniping so I'll be using me knife/spade[emoji4] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

  15. Happy birthday man[emoji106] never grow up[emoji41] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  16. You'll pick up m & kb like a duck to water. Seriously put me off playing FPS with controllers, particularly the shite Ps4 controller. Feel far more confident shooting via mouse. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  17. Sadly London is untouched Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  18. I was a little lime Rib at first when I saw that, but if you're going for both worlds then I'm sure it'll do[emoji8] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  19. It's a really immersive, creepy game and another one where they use the sound to great effect. Made for co-op, though I've been going solo so far and not doing too bad. I started using a silenced revolver yesterday (and it's awesome) which I'll keep as my main until I have enough experience to buy a better shotgun. The game is £26 at the moment.
  20. It was only for a couple of days. There'll probably be another before launch. There was certainly a performance improvement for me this time round too, it runs really well.
  21. Two things I would look for (other than minimum 1080p resolution of course) are as follows: Refresh rate. You need to go for at least 60Hz here. Anything higher than that is a bonus. Think my BenQ is 144Hz off the top of my head. Response time: Anything less than 5ms is ideal. Some modern TVs have a gaming mode which helps this, though at the expense of the graphics.
  22. I don't use either.
  23. I'll be streaming this around 7pm UK time on FG steams[emoji4] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  24. Jumped on last night and had a bit of fun. In the last test I didn't really come across other players, other than spotting the occasional mast on the horizon. Different story this time around. You spawn into the game inside of a bar/pub/tavern on a small island. The island has some shops, a dock where your ship is moored and a little tent near the dock, where a scraggly old geezer gives you missions in the form of pirate treasure maps. As I'm on my Jack Jones, the ship I've chosen is a sloop, with one cannon on each bow. Controlling the ship consists of pulling up the anchor, adjusting the length and direction of the sails and then taking the wheel. The captain's cabin has a massive map of the game and here you try and find the island depicted on your treasure map. Set sail. Find the island. Deal with skeletons. I have a pistol and sword, plus a blunderbuss in the ship armoury. Find the treasure location and dug it up. Take treasure back to ship and return to scraggly old geezer. I did all of the above but met some other players on my trip back. Bigger ship, more cannon. They let me know their intentions by sending some cannon balls my way. Here I had to make a decision, stay and fight, or flee with my booty and try and beat them back to the island. I didn't want to lose my treasure so I raced them back. I arrived just before them...but here is where is started getting a bit sweaty. Parking up at the dock would take me too long and leave me exposed. So I went close to the dock, let the anchor away and dived into the sea for the small swim to shore. You know what the other ship did? They shot one of their players out of a cannon to try and get him between me and pirate scraggly. It didn't work. I just made it in time. However, while I had received my reward, I now had some players that I had to deal with. The one on the island I evaded as I wanted to get back to my ship before they sunk it. I got back to my ship, as I was as swimming back towards it, I saw two guys running around on it. They were trying to scupper my little sloop. I climbed aboard and we had a little fight. The pistol is one shot, and it takes ages to reload. Three of us dancing around, them both trying to kill me. I got hit once while holding the captain's cabin and them outside popping off shots at me. I wasn't having any joy, so i took out my sword instead and went YOLO. Killed them both. After I killed the first one the other one shit his pants and tried to run. He ran straight into my blade. There was still the other guy to deal with but I decided to pull up the anchor, go find their boat and sink it. Turned out the third one had gone back to his ship and was already sailing away. I didn't chase at first but went in the opposite direction. For a little while. I waited about 10 minutes and then sailed back in the direction the other ship had gone. After a while I found it. Silly sod had moored next to a tiny desert island. He was on the island, off his ship, so I decided to cannonball it. The next bit is the best laugh I've had in ages. I loaded up my port side cannon and set it off to put a hole in the other ship. The shot missed the ship. Flew over it. Flew as far as the island in fact. Flew far enough that it hit the other player on the island and killed him. Seriously couldn't believe it. Wet myself. I got some experience/reputation points for the kill too. Epic[emoji41][emoji4][emoji38] Would have been streaming it but the PS4 boys were streaming at the same time.
  25. They've just announced another test for this weekend. Open now! I'm going home right now to hit the high seas[emoji8] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
