    That was just a quick selection from my library, share what games you have - that you would like to play with a group of FGers - and then we'll see what's what.

    So, PC lads and (wishful thinking here) lasses I think the PS4 is putting us to shame, at least on this forum. I may get a PS4 at some point, maybe if they do a slim version but I can't really justify the expense when I have a beast that my missus already hates. And I'm not talking about my todger*. I know some of us play on PC but we never get together online. Unless you all do and just don't tell me. Which I wouldn't blame you for, I have to live with myself and I know what I'm like I was thinking of suggesting a fixed day, could be weekly, fortnightly or monthly we could all try to get on. I know there's a time difference but I'm sure something could be worked out. I'll just throw this out to see what people think. I can sort out a team speak for us to use or we could resurrect the FG TS. We'd probably need to share what games we have we could play online so I'll make a quick list of some games I have and I think could be fun if there were a few of us. DayZ Standalone DayZ Mod Battlefield 3/4 COD 4 Black Ops 2 Arma3 Borderlands 2 Counter Strike Dying Light Garrys Mod (e.g. Trouble in Terrorist Town) Grand Theft Auto (any) H1Z1 Left 4 Dead 2 X Com: Enemy Unknown Let me know what you think and then maybe we can look at the logistics. *that's my cock I'm talking about here dear *non brits'

    The shit that's been flying over this will take a while to settle down. There's even been talk of a collaboration to make a new game launcher to use instead of Steam. The 'suddenly everyone likes EA/Origin' because "at least they have better customer service that steam" did raise my eyebrows a little though Gabe didn't think this one through at all, and the execution was shoddy. Hope the lesson is learned but I think they'll just come at it from a different angle further down the line. Time will tell.

    Shogun2: Total War is often cited as one of the best of the series, steam has a free demo of it

    Gooners at work expect Arsene to manage for another couple of years. I agree with you on Simeone. I think he's staying in Madrid for the foreseeable future. Mind you, in the sensible world of soccer always expect the unexpected. Can't believe I j used used term 'soccer'.

    Ditto. I still have bloodbowl the table top game I bought in the 80s. I have it on pc but it never really gripped me playing it online. Total War is a great series however and I expect a fantastic warhammer game from these guys.

    Some f my mates will be very happy with this. I know one chap who still plays bloodbowl on his laptop.

    Something from the back of my head tells me Lewis Hamilton has been involved with the development of this game. I agree, looks very good.
  9. phil bottle
    As suggested, Arsenal would be an interesting choice, though I'm also thinking Man City. Mind you, Dortmund are mid table this season so I don't mind where he goes...so long as he doesn't end up at Spurs. There was a lame rumour about him going to West Ham, I nearly wet myself laughing

    Ok just give me a shout for when's good and we'll see what we can do. I should be free most of the week the same hours but can do a little earlier, say 7.30pm if needed (except Wednesday when I play football). I notice that the FG teamspeak server now seems to belong to someone else as I just logged in and found a couple of dutch guys on there. Me and Dave were on it a month or so ago but I don't think anyone else has used or paid for it in ages. I can probably find an alternate server we can use.

    The only problem with DayZ Commander is that it is using an old version of the mod. You may need to check. I used to be a massive fan of Commander so it's a shame. The current mod version is 1.8.4.1 and Commander has only up to 1.8.3. Also, there's a US 434 vanilla server that has a ping I can manage. Maybe not tonight but from say 9pm UK time to 1am UK time tomorrow I'm available to team up

    There's a couple of niggles like the autoloading from the title screen but Rockstar did a patch yesterday and I'm already thinking of buying a bigger monitor just to enjoy the view. I tried online for the first time last night. Fucking epic. I transferred my character over from the xbox360 (though I only made it to level 11 before I sold that version of the game). Either a player was coming to save his game or camping the safehouse but when I exited the building some guy came running up to me. I didn't stop to think, scrolled to my uzi and sent him to valhalla My car didn't transfer over to my garage so I looked around and found a nice motorbike. I then travelled around the map trolling the other players (they all seemed to be death matching each other constantly). I was eventually taken out by an RPG

    I know noobsplayground, have been on it myself. I haven't played the mod for ages so I went on last night for a short time to see what's changed. I'm impressed with the work of Razor and the others as they seem to have continued upgrading the mod. It looks really nice these days. Playing on a vanilla server is best as you get the intended experience. A lot of servers let you start with a weapon and some decent gear but I prefer to start like I just washed up on the beach. Do you use steam to find a server or do you use one something like DayZ Commander or DayZUploader? I can be on Sunday night if you're up for it, maybe we can get Dave or James on too!

    I've only played 6 hours so far but I like it a lot. I completed on the 360 but I'm redoing the story just to play in first person. It looks and plays fucking great and my little old 770 does itself proud.

    I love DayZ mod. I'm more than happy to jump on and give you a few pointers, if you're about tomorrow I should be free all tomorrow night UK time. I'll probably need a break from GTAV and teamspeak is still working last time I checked.

    I'm making this my ringtone.

    That cracked me up

    Marina goes to Barcelona for 10 days from Thursday and I'm planning to try quit smoking while she's away. Then I'm getting one of these^

    I'm going switch on ndvidia shadowplay and see how I go, really looking forward to it!

    QNIX seem to do cheaper 1440p monitors but I do like my BenQ and I may have a look at some of their recent ones. Yours is Samsung Dave, am I right?
  21. phil bottle
    Ha, thanks Dave, well that makes sense, I think I meant 1440p but got confused by the number 4. I can afford (.ie. justify to the missus) around £400-500 which is why I'm looking at the gtx980 but I'll keep my eyes on AMD over the next few months.

    So, in August it will be two years since I last updated my pc (other than adding an new Ethernet adapter). I think it's time to have a look at any tweaks I can make and get myself 4K ready. I'm okay with my CPU for the time being still I think, it's as follows: Intel i7 - 4770k Haswell at 3.5Ghz and I've not felt any need to overclock. I have 16GB of RAM and there's no need to add any more. The GPU is another matter. I currently have a pretty decent one: MSI Twin FrozR GTX 770 OC 2GB Dave has been suggesting (pretty much since I got it) that I add a second 770 and go SLI. Now, the only thing with that this is that it doesn't increase the GPU memory to 4GB and ideally I want 4GB. So I'm thinking one of the latest Nvidia cards. I need to wade through the various versions of the 980 but if anyone has any experience of them let me know! I have two hard drives, the primary drive being a Samsung 250GB SSD. I recently installed GTA V which has taken up 60GB all by itself and I think I need another SSD for my online games. My PSU is 750W so I think I'm ok power-wise, I just need to see if it's worth going for one of those 1TB SSDs. It could be an expensive summer so I suppose I better start putting some money aside.

    Man Shitty earned their name today. I watched the game with a very happy Rich My season ended last week when we couldn't score against Burnley. Burnely FFS. Yesterday was icing on the cake.
  24. phil bottle
    It's all pre-loaded for me and apparently it'll be live 12am UK time tomorrow night. Keeping everything crossed the game will work first time

    I'll be in Barcelona in the latter half of August, possibly in July too if I get off my rear end and get my passport renewed. If you're lucky you'll arrive there during one of the many summer festivals/fiestas, this is one of the most famous ones in the Gracia district of the city: http://www.barcelonayellow.com/bcn-events-articles/217-festa-major-de-gracia
