  2. Maybe get rid of top posters on the lower right and put a "hot thread" section? I think we had that before just an idea. Also, can we collapse the upcoming event section in some way?
  3. The Guardian as a piece on it now as well https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/may/22/manchester-arena-police-explosion-ariana-grande-concert-england?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other not doing the copy pasta thing on this one, make the jump if you want to read it
  4. Police have confirmed they are dealing with a "number of fatalities" and "injuries" after they responded to reports of two loud bangs described as 'explosions' at Manchester Arena tonight. Scores of people fled the arena screaming and covered in blood after hearing 'loud bangs' at the end of an Ariana Grande concert, where hundreds of children of primary age were in attendance. Armed police and helicopters rushed to the scene, where one witness reported being blown off his feet just after the lights came up at around 10.40pm. Other witnesses said they saw smoke and heard an explosion coming from the foyer area. David Richardson, who was at the gig with his daughter Emily, 13 said: “The lights came on after the gig and people were starting to leave. As I turned to the left there was an explosion. "It was about 40ft behind us near one of the exits. We just thought it was people messing about then it happened again. Another explosion sounded. “Then we saw the smoke. Everyone just fled. Some people were injured. We saw blood on people when we got outside. People were just running all over the place. “People have said it was a speaker or balloons but it wasn’t. It was explosions.” Another witness Andy Holey, whose wife and daughter were at the concert, told BBC News that the explosion was near to a ticket office, and he was blown off his feet when it happened. He said he saw several bodies around him when he came to. Oliver Jones, 17, who was at the concert with his 19-year-old sister, said: “I was in the toilet and heard a loud bang just after the concert had finished and people had started to leave. “The bang echoed around the foyer of the arena and people started to run. “I seen people running and screaming towards one direction and then many were turning around to run back the other way. “Security was running out as well as the fans and concert goers. “[There were] reports of blood and people injured. In so much shock and panic. You see this on the news all the time and never expect it to happen to you. I just had to run and make sure me and my sister were safe.” Concert-goers shared horrifying photos of their injuries after they managed to escape the chaos - which some initially claimed was caused by a speaker explosion or a balloon popping. Greater Manchester Police earlier confirmed they are dealing with a "serious incident" and tweeted urging people to "stay away from the area" - and local roads to and from the scene are blocked. Abby Mullen shared snaps of her bag and her bloodied hair after she returned home. Moments after the news broke, a man claiming to have information from medical staff, tweeted: "A friend works in A&E - huge balloons filled with gas popped & there was a stampede because everyone thought it was a bomb. "More people got injured stampeding out of the arena than they did during the incident." ITV News reporter Michael Worrell - who lives near the Arena and rushed to the scene after hearing the explosion - said he has spoken to people leaving the scene who claimed debris had fallen on them. "They heard two loud bangs they thought were coming from the station and I have seen people leaving the building with blood on their shirt," he said. The noises were heard at the end of the show - with some reports placing them as having come from near the Victoria Station close to the Arena. Eyewitness Sasina Akhtar said: "She did her last song, we were in the lower tier and there was an explosion behind us at the back of the arena. We saw young girls with blood on them, everyone was screaming and people were running. There was lots of smoke.” The full police statement at 11.44pm tonight: "Emergency services are currently responding to reports of an explosion at Manchester Arena. "There are a number of confirmed fatalities and others injured. "Please AVOID the are as first responders work tirelessly at the scene." They later added: "Details of a casualty bureau for incident at Manchester Arena will be shared as soon as available. Please stay away from the area."

  6. It feels like Activision has more of an impact on Bungie than I thought they did. Blizzard pulled this shit back when WoW Cataclysm came out, and millions left.
  7. More info from reddit: Many of us were in fear that we would have to force-pick all four perks of a subclass' augment perks. It turns out, it is true, confirmed here: http://i.imgur.com/oMStGpG.png Now, after taking a closer look at the Striker subclass (I main a Titan), not only are people like me bummed who liked running lesser-used builds, but it turns out the synergy you want isn't even there. Here are the two perk sets for the Striker Titan: **Code of the Juggernaut: [Reversal]: Melee kills immediately trigger health regeneration. [Trample]: Fist of Havoc lasts longer while sprinting. Killing an enemy with Fist of Havoc extends its duration. [Knockout]: Breaking enemy shields increases your melee range. [Frontal Assault]: A powerful melee punch that grants you increased weapon stability. **Unnamed Tree: [Shoulder Charge]: After sprinting for a short time, press R1 to slam shoulder-first into your target. [Aftermath]: Fist of Havoc disorients enemies and leaves a damage-dealing field in its wake. [Magnitude]: Increases the duration of Pulse Grenades, Lightning Grenades and Aftermath. [Aerial Strike]: Fist of Havoc deals more damage the longer it's in the air. Now, the unnamed tree sure sounds like it would be good in PvE. Disorienting ads and dealing increased damage to them. And getting your health back from shoulder charging because otherwise it is useless in PvE where you get shot at all the time if you charge forw... oh, wait. The single only way shoulder charge was ever useful in PvE isn't in here. Hm, okay. Well, I guess shoulder charge is at least still great in Crucible! And of course dealing increased damage in Crucible on your Super is also fantastic and... not that useless most of the ti... hm. Anyway, I really like how sometimes someone steps into your Aftermath, so extending the duration of your Super from a wake you left that killed someone is great in Crucible! At least we can do th... oh, no those are on opposite trees. But! We can deal the increased damage with Fist of Havoc to kill ads more reliably and THEN we get increased Super duration because of the kills we... opposite trees again huh? Okay. Jesus. Just let me pick what I want. Clearly I want to experiment with different things. Why not just make this a Diablo thing? Have the two perk trees for casual players or players that do not want to bother with synergy discovery and then allow people like me to select 'elective mode' so I can pick what I want? This is less looking like 'offering the player the synergies up front' and a lot more like straight up nerfs. Because who wants to run shoulder charge in Crucible without health regen? I don't like it. Not at all. TL;DR: You have to pick one of the two trees of augment perks and they don't even synergize that well together, let alone that there are clearly far more synergies to use that would work great together but you're not allowed to.
  8. https://twitter.com/knowsworthy/status/866651641331580929 The paths in each subclass can't be mixed and matched. They are designed to work as a group of 4 together. e.g. This path or that path. https://t.co/vLzE1a0FcF — Mark Noseworthy (@knowsworthy) May 22, 2017 Not really happy about this. It is what it is though.
  9. Get a solid group, I think only Chad, Burge, and I still play it We can carry you through pretty much anything in there thats worth doing
  10. Thats their way of dumping all the D1 content, and forcing us to get new stuff for D2. They were just creative enough to give us a Story reason.
  11. I want to sort the vault by "burn", "type", and "light level" I want them to take the weapon customization that BF3-4 had and enable it. There is absolutely no reason every sight/ scope shouldn't be available on every weapon. Not to mention barrell type, suppressors, laser sights, etc.... Drop gimmicky shit like Sparrow League, and focus on the damned story. Sure Racing is fun, but it doesn't add anything to the story. Dedicated Servers Private servers for clans.
  12. The bosses are still bullet sponges, but if you get a decent team together, then the free roam is amazing PVP still sucks so don't go to the dark zones For me, its just fun to run around the open world and farm missions and the bosses that spawn there.
  13. It's to early to be awake, let alone at work, in a meeting
  14. Blacklight Retribution isn't a bad free game either
  15. making coffee then I will be on
  16. Morning folks
  17. That shit is awesome Lee
  18. I said it in the Warframe section of Whatsapp, and I will say it here. Personally, I view Whatsapp as the death of the forum. The number of posts here has gone done, almost directly in line with the more people that join in on Whatsapp. Maybe thats okay, maybe it isn't. IDK I just advise caution in everyone migrating there, unless the intent is to just not use these anymore. For me personally, I prefer the forums. Its easier to make large posts and have an actual exchange of information. Whatsapp is where we troll each other or call Dave a cocksucker
  19. Attempt #3 here goes! Youtube "stars" need to be beaten with hoses and forced to get real jobs, with absolutely zero internet connection for the rest of their lives.
  20. So honestly, is Chris Evans ever funny?

    Doom 4

    I rented it a few weeks ago, and it wasn't bad. A shade annoying in spots, Its a solid $15 game, more than that and I would skip it.
  22. They probably play Rugby as well, and buy Frost Prime
