Say what you will about EpicGames, they have given away some great games over the past year. I haven't given them a penny, don't plan to but I won't say no to a free quality game.

Apparently I've owned this game ever since acquiring it from HumbleBundle in November 2018... never been installed. I'm thinking about giving it a go, anything I need to know beforehand?

Well as it turns out, getting a new controller doesn't actually make me a contender 😂. I can't put a finger on why I'm so slow, I swear I used to perform alright during them time trials.

Just to confirm, what are we racing? The selected car for the Goodwood track isn't available for purchase in the Nisan store?

Psycho Mantis fight? How did they work this on the GOG version? As wasn't you required to change from port #1 to #2 in order to defeat him?

Some information for those who have Mojang accounts. It looks like Mojang accounts have to be transferred over to Microsoft accounts in the near future. I don't know if this will affect anyone here but just a heads up as it sounds like if it isn't migrated, it could be lost. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/java-edition-moving-house

Midnight Blue is one of the looking controllers on the market! Also new grips to protect them sticks, which also included some grips for the triggers, something I've never seen before.

Thanks for the races. It's unfortunate that my controller is bust, so I have a new one being delivered today. Getting used to the right stick for acceleration and braking is pretty difficult and would take some time before I feel comfortable. I just can't work them as precisely as the triggers.

A classic game most will have either heard about or atleast played, and more puzzle fun! Comix Zone (SEGA Mega Drive) https://sega.fandom.com/wiki/Comix_Zone Comix Zone is a classic many of you will be familiar with. As a child growing up, this was one of our most played games. You get thrown into your comic book and fight your way through various pages in which I imagine you need to defeat some bad enemy at the end, I don’t know as I currently haven’t completed this game *embarrassed*. The way you move between pages of the comic and the art style is some of my favourite from this time and I still have trouble with some enemies. If you haven’t played this, I very much would recommend doing so, the game looks great, sounds great and is an enjoyable game overall (albeit it is somewhat short with only 3 episodes!). Shove It! …The Warehouse Game (SEGA Mega Drive) https://segaretro.org/Shove_It!_...The_Warehouse_Game Released in Japan and US, this is one another puzzle game I enjoy playing. Your job is to organise boxes and place them in designated areas. It starts off fairly easy but it does start to get harder as you progress, some I’m still struggling with. Graphically it’s a little boring, as you are on the same floor with just a different layout, and different number of boxes. It’s a decent puzzle game and does start to offer some tricky situations you need to think your way around. So if you've ever wanted to work in a tricky warehouse designed to make you use your brain, give this a go!

I know it's been a long time to reply, sorry! @GazzaGarratt from what I know, the original Frogger was Endless, featuring the same level that just added in more objects / made the gameplay faster as you progressed. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I didn’t end up doing too much Retro gaming after my initial post, for different reasons. I recently reinstalled W10 for a fresh start, which meant obtaining all these games again. I wanted that retro feel when I play these games, so what better way to do that, than to buy controllers with the same button layout? I present the 8BitDo M30 and N30. While they contain some additional buttons due to being compatible with the Switch, it was the shape and layout that had drawn me in to purchase these. Due to the layout not really changing much, the N30 will be very good for playing NES (minus SNES) or older handhelds, and the M30 is great for SEGA related systems / handheld. So far they are excellent controllers and really help to give that retro feel. I have also purchased a Mayflash GameCube Adapter, meaning I can play GameCube games using an official GameCube controller. This will have to wait as I’m looking to borrow a controller from my brother, hopefully he will drop it off this weekend like he said he would. For now, this will also be used for any N64 gaming I do until I can afford an Raphnet Adapter that enables Rumble Paks (the only N64 adapter capable of doing so!), but this will be costly for an adaptor and ships from America. The only game I'll get around to showing tonight is one I only recently discovered, and it suits the type of games I tend to enjoy. Fire ‘n Ice (NES) https://nintendo.fandom.com/wiki/Fire_'n_Ice A puzzle game in which the aim is to use the ice blocks, to put out the fires. You have a wand and have an ability to create ice, but only in the space to your bottom left or right (row beneath where you’re standing), providing there is room to cast. Ice that is created near a wall, sticks to the wall. Sometimes you will create a row of ice, go back and remove the ice attached to the wall, which will then create a block of ice from the remaining, which will fall to / rest on the nearest surface. You can only move one block at a time though, so completing some of these puzzles I’m finding a little bit tricky. I'm going to try get some more ready to post tomorrow.

If you aren't set on getting a gaming chair, have a look here https://www.2ndhnd.com/, they fix up and sell second hand chairs for a fraction of the price. I'm using a Steelcase Leap V2 which I purchased from these years ago when they first started up on eBay.

I haven't watched that yet. Funnily enough, I first liked her in Jurassic World, without realising who she was. It wasn't until I liked her character in Merlin that my partner pointed out they are the same person.

Sorry I bailed after only a few races. My daughter was in desperate need of my help. It seems like a great game to play online and it's carnage with you lot. Hopefully I'll be able to stick around for longer next time.

Just a thought but should the following threads maybe be moved to the new Health & Fitness forum? http://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/index.php?/topic/6243-running-cycling/ http://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/index.php?/topic/7684-how-are-we-keeping-fit-and-healthy-in-isolation/ http://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/index.php?/topic/7876-home-gym-uk-strongest-novice/

GOG.com WWW.GOG.COM Download the best classic and new games on Windows, Mac & Linux. A vast selection of titles, DRM-free, with free goodies and 30-day money-back guarantee. HITMAN: Absolution is currently free on GOG 👍

Get Snake Pass for free WWW.HUMBLEBUNDLE.COM For a limited time, get Snake Pass for free and keep it forever, courtesy of Humble Bundle! While supplies last. This is a good game, requires a controller and can be a little frustrating but worth it if you don't get easily annoyed.

I can now add Merlin to my list. Even though I mainly watch it for Morgana.

Games wise it didn't really sell it. The console itself looks very nice. I won't be able to afford it this time round, maybe in 2-3 years I'll hope to be able to consider it, by which time they'll have better working versions and the game library will be decent. And it would be disc all the way, especially if it turns out to be backwards compatible. Plus digital on consoles is stupid expensive when the discs can be had much cheaper.

This bundle may interest someone. It's a huge bundle containing indies games and other goodies, yes most will be rubbish but considering the price and the huge amount of content, it's well worth it just to actually play indies in which you otherwise wouldn't have even knew existed.

So are you playing this on PS4 or PC? I haven't changed my UI yet, the only things I've done is hotkey rebinding. Anyhow, here's my character I want to make another one as a main healer class with the first name Morgana but I can't think of a second name for her yet.

Sega announces Game Gear Micro, the strangest retro mini game device yet WWW.POLYGON.COM It comes in four colors, with four games on each handheld Some more info and seems more like a waste of money. 4 different editions, each handheld only containing 4 games....

I'm enjoying this game, I'm around level 18 and just arrived at the next two islands, ready to go out and explore more later today. I did start out on PS4 but I found the clutter overwhelming and confusing, which isn't helped by using a controller. As soon as I switched over to PC, it looks better, runs better and it doesn't look as much complicated. A good thing with this game being on both systems, means you can easily go from playing on the PC to the PS4 on the same subscription. You still need to buy the game for both systems you wish you play on but at least you don't have to pay twice for the sub and your characters are saved across platforms. I like the idea of not needing to level up a bunch of different characters to use different classes, so while I'm currently running with Archery, I may pick up healer at some point. If I had any gripe with this game, it would be the lack of voice acting and the amount of reading you have to do to get through even basic none main story quests. When you get to the cutscenes however, they are rather enjoyable. Oh and the stupid amounts of rain in the starting island.

@GazzaGarratt @Middle Class Caveman well graphics come second for me. But if say 1-3 are considered the worst then I'll probably skip them. I doubt I'll get around to completing all of them, but I can try! So if I concentrate on the ones people recommend for a newcomer, it would shorten the list of games I look at. Do the FF games follow on from each other story wise? or are they all like their own separate stories? As I mentioned in the above post, I'm currently playing FF V because it's currently the only one I own (I don't know if or how FF XIV Online ties into the universe). I'm still in the very early stages of the game though and my characters are around level 11/12. I'm still getting my head around the abilities / jobs and what I should go with for each character. I've met Harpy and Shiva but I was really under leveled at the time and don't think I'm ready even now, I'm now at the point I need to defeat LiqudFlame but he's a bugger. One thing that did surprise me with FF is I thought the combat was turn-based. So after learning it's actually active turn-based, it makes it a little more difficult.

I only caught it during the benchpress but they all did great. Chris was unlucky on his last benchpress and Danny looks like a beast 😄 his lifts look great and the way he added on to the end to make up 200kg, does he do tournaments too? What does a spotter do? Is it just someone to make sure they don't hurt themselves? Overall it was a fun watch and you should update this thread if you have anymore streams coming up.

What's this? Do you run a weightlifting competition, is it just for fun? I'm watching 👍
