Two new tracks dropping tomorrow. There's also paid dlc dropping too with new game features.

The gulf between the Championship and Premier League is ridiculous and it's getting wider all the time. I think Ipswich have a good squad but I don't think any team in the league this year would be good enough for the Premier League, not even Coventry. Ipswich last night created some decent chances and looked dangerous but just lacked anything clinical in the final third - partly down to our keeper having a great game and perhaps being burned out after Hull away on the Tuesday and some crazy away fixtures in succession. I can definitely see you lot challenging for promotion and securing a playoff place but the days teams can do a Bournemouth or Brentford and maintain a Prem place are long gone.

Don't lie! 🤣
I think our league position doesn't reflect our play. I think you could call it "generous". If we get promoted again, I think we would get wrecked most games and be straight back down again.
My preferred result would be narrowly miss playoffs, strengthen the squad and finish strongly for two more seasons before possible promotion.
Actually I would be happy with top 8 finishes every season playing entertaining football. Premier League is the dream but can be a nightmare as well

phil bottle reacted to J4MES OX4D in Arc Raiders
I haven't played this much recently and I'm kinda at the stage where I know what is required to essentially complete the workbenches and then that's the game pretty much 'completed' in its current state. It's been one hell of a game and incredible value for money but there doesn't seem to be much of an endgame. I'm not sure how much legs this game has in its current form and I kinda wish the live event was longer and there was a bit more meat to it. I'm overloaded with gear to the extent, looting has lost a lot of meaning but the stuff I need is almost out of touch with the way PvP is right now and I can't be bothered taking in lots of gear, killing a major ARC and then getting shotted by a free loadout user. It's basically high risk, huge reward but at the same time potential infuriation. If successful, I then have less reason to play the game so I'm damned either way. The skill tree is just pure bloat and whilst the Raider Deck is good to sift through, it is essentially built off the back of doing generic daily feats.
Another annoying thing is spawning in late when trying to do a task. Free loadout users should be the ones being dropped in late to lobbies and not someone geared up only to have 16 minutes. Better off just heading to the exit and even that's a risk in itself. Longevity is definitely an issue and although I didn't feel this way at 40 hours, once you progress so much and do so many runs, you can really see where this game is at.

US beating Uruguay is quite a big deal imo, looks like getting Poch as coach is finally coming good @Sennex

Ah OK, so that's what the 23/24 under it means. So I'm one raid away. Thank you for that. Still learning

So, a year after release they've finally got A Life working as intended. I will have to find time for it, it was already a very enjoyable game but now its proper Stalker, if still a little buggy in parts...😍
Goes live on PS5 in three days

If this happens then it will well and truly upstage anything Grand Theft Auto could do

phil bottle reacted to J4MES OX4D in Arc Raiders
I reached level 20 last night with 50 successful extractions. I have my gear and gunsmith bench at level 2 plus scrappy at 3. I did a fair few quests yesterday and manged to unlock some achievements including returning to Speranza when downed after I got into a firefight at the exit whilst it was opening, downed the culprit, then got downed by an ARC and we both ended up crawling hilariously to the lift! Also flying through live event earning merits plus unlocking Raider decks with the credits. There's always plenty to do and work towards.
Today I will do the daily challenges plus I need to broaden my horizons and try and discover new loot required for some of the level 2 benches. I'll probably need to increase my stash to beyond 200 because it is piling up and a lot of stuff, even the basics, you may still require down the line for things like upgrading weapons or simple attachments.

Went on with @Diddums Friday night and was amazed at his patience! 😃
I'm enjoying it so far but have stuck to the Dam map mostly. Only been killed by another player once so far. As those of you who know me well I have died more than once ! 🤣
Main strategy so far has been to expand the stash as much as possible, unlock all the work benches.
It's a beautiful game to play, AAA at a bargain price and reminds me of Destiny in many ways... daily quests, scavenging, equipment upgrades, etc.
It'll be interesting to see how many FG players will use the wipe option.
I see Shroud is playing and topping the leaderboard but also discovering some sad news.....
I'll be getting on this when real life lets me.
Thanks again @Diddums ... he's your man for a dog collar for your chicken!! 🤣

It's only on PC for now but it's £19.99 until 27th November on Steam and I am now tempted 🤪

In between feathering his own nest and fooling the weak minded, Trump has already threatened to remove world cup games from left leaning cities lol, what a prick 🙃

phil bottle got a reaction from Plumbers Crack in Escape from Tarkov - full release
I finally managed to get in, so here's a last look at my character before I wipe him. I'm actually Level 43 but today's update to the game has put me down to 36 for some glitchy reason.
485 hours since 6 June and this will all be re-set to zero once I nuke the character to enjoy the new content.
I'd almost finished building my Hideout, but it's all going back to square one and I'm looking forward to playing with an actual storyline finally : )

No, you're wrong there, it's because the servers are fucked and hardly anyone can get on 🙃
It's fucking annoying as I've been trying to get in since 11am when it was supposed to go live 😭
Not entirely unexpected tbh and I can't even get on their website lol

England are playing against Serbia right now. In theory playing for a place in this summer's World Cup, however England already qualified, so no stress.
The World Cup will be taking place in a few American cities so you'll have lots of games in your time zone to enjoy 🏆
