Good afternoon, I'm fucking off from work early today so I can get murdered more in Tarkov. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

It’s safe to say that this game has kind of taken over my life since the beta dropped last week. The game is so tense and so brutal I can’t seem to stay away. It says a lot that I now use a few rounds of PUBG as a bit of light relief from Tarkov. You have limited resources before dropping into a game and the decision whether to equip your character with a knife or a gun. If you die (and you will, a lot if you’re not a quick learner) you lose the equipment you’re carrying for ever. Some players will go in just carrying a knife as they no longer have any better weapons and hide themselves hoping to scavenge from dead bodies that haven’t been looted. I started by deciding to try and learn the maps first before getting wrecked. I like the fact that I can go into the maps in offline mode to learn them. Offline mode allows you to control what time you enter the map and whether or not to include AI. Progress isn’t stored and items aren’t lost. I’ve concentrated on two maps for now, Factory and Shoreline. Both very different, Factory is seriously mental, close combat. With AI and other human players all close together and the sound (which is epic) makes everyone seem really close to everyone else. Sometimes the human players team up and signal their intent with the Q and E wiggle but that’s not been my experience. Kill on sight so far. Shoreline is bigger much more open, and has been where most of my success have come. I enter that map with a pistol and leave with a shotgun or AK. I’m building up my weapon store, have a bunch of shotties and AK47s from my conquests so far. Everything is uber realistic and you can take the weapons apart and add all sorts of builds and attachments. I could go on about this game for ages but I think it’s kind of a niche experience. It’s for freaks like me who love to shit their pants as part of an enjoyable gaming experience. I love these kinds of games, I really do I love the trembling fingers on the mouse and the rapidly beating heart and the joy each time I have managed to Escape from Tarkov with my life and bit of looty mcloot.

It's available to everyone as a five hour demo from PS Store, i'll give it another go Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

I've received my key for beta access so I'll be devoting my time to learning this game inside out, it has an offline mode where you can choose to have AI or not, which may be a good way to get used to the maps.

I watched "It Follows" on Netflix the other night, mostly because I like to make Mina watch horror films (she hates them) and watch her reactions. I'd heard it had a really high score on rotten tomatoes so thought it'd be worth a punt. Yeah it does a pretty good job with the creepiness but the ending was a poor effort and I was hoping for something a bit more imaginative.

Yep, I already got an email from Amazon about beta access. I think Mina's away that weekend too so I'll be free and it'll probably be raining so...

Failing that, Rib will do

The art and style makes me want to punch a teddy bear in the nuts

Knowing me I'll end up with PS4 and PC versions simply because it'll be better on PC, like I have with Battlefield 1 and the Division

Ah that's so much better, starting to feel myself again. Pillock is a word that needs to get trending again or well be in a right palaver [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

AWESOME

Oh you

Yeah we kind of let it slide. To be honest I started of getting bored of being matched with twats who only wanted to do play on the ceiling and who started to boo hoo when they were losing. An FG meet up would be worth getting some practice though

I'd day 'pot and kettle' but you'd probably say we were supposed to use tea bags. But - yeah I suppose - challenge accepted

Ah, i remember you, you're the geezer with the accent, you guys play much rocket league these day? ain't touched it in ages me self Welcome to the nut house

Welcome aboard, I don't play the abomination known as Overwatch but i'm sure there's some game in our Destiny. I refer of course to Density 2

I'd like to like that x10 but don't have the option, I think folk can wait and if they can't well, I'll send the boys round innit. You better be playing gaemz right now

Nice photos everyone, should do an FG calendar in them in funny poses or something silly. Nothing saucy mind you ok, I don't think the Internet could cope, maybe Tor though...
