Antpool84

Thanks @Antpool84  for organising this, it really has been a great thing to keep going through the WInter months and brings a lot of us together when we don't see much of us online sometimes. I definitely think we'll have some more to join us next year. I'm expecting to get some more Americans in early so they have no choice ( @TigerBurge  @Jason  cough cough) but also new people should really give this a go too. I know @Ally  is keen on getting involved next time!

WE HAVE OUR FIRST CHAMPION!!!
 
So the first FG NFL Fantasy League season is in the books and our first champion is @jordie1892 !!! He was battling for the league top spot with Matty @Misneach_  all season, and finished 2nd in the league standings, but dominated in the playoff final winning 146.20 - 94.68, so congratulations Jordie!!! The distinct honour of Toilet Bowl Champion goes to @G_dub52 , who had a rough season finishing with a 3-11 record. Overall i think this inagural season has been a success and everyone involved has enjoyed it. Whether they have been long time fans of the NFL or peeps who are new to the sport and have learned more about it as the season has progressed. The final standings after the playoffs are:
 
1. Jordie @jordie1892
2. Matty @Misneach_
3. Lee @GazzaGarratt
4. Ant @Antpool84
5. James @James5497
6. Bob @Baabcat
7. Gary @techno
8. Dave @Plumbers Crack
9. Martin @Findmartin
10. George @G_dub52
 
We are hoping to have a few more players next season, and you've got plenty of time to start looking at those rookies before the big draft!!! In the meantime I will be looking forward to the NFL Playoffs and Superbowl!!!!

Yeah, I’ve been playing with the FIFA squad for about 3 weeks ish now, they’re a good bunch. Very welcoming 

Hey everyone, I’m Ally

Your profile pic is offensive and hurts my brain to look at, but otherwise, welcome aboard 😭🙂
 
 

Congratulation to all the winners - all well deserved 🙂
 
Well done again to @GazzaGarratt for organising these again this year 🙂🙂

Nice little topic to start @Luseth  🙂 I am hoping to complete Guardians of the Galaxy as i'm halfway through that at the moment. Same as @GazzaGarratt, probably wont be getting Fifa 23 until just after Christmas. I really want to get GoW Ragnorok and Callisto Protocol too, but they will probably be post Christmas purchases, so may pick up a copy of Witcher 3 since i never completed it and the ps5 upgrade is available on the 14th December. Got Cyberpunk to dive into as well so may get a start on that over Christmas 🙂

Congratulation to all the winners - all well deserved 🙂

Wtf?!?!?  🤯
 
I’m blown away by this!  I’m sitting here trying to figure out what to type and I’m just lost for words.  Thank you @GazzaGarrattand FG for this.  I’m honoured!  You all rock!! 🤘🏻

Congratulations to all the winners, very well deserved! 
 
Love reading these every year. 
A special thanks to Lee and FG for making all this possible. 😊

Congratulations all well deserved.
 
I would love to know who infected me whilst we had the meet as that infection is the cause of me going deaf in my right ear and won't hear properly till the new year 😂

Congratulations to everyone that won! Contact with FG’ers varies but always good to see others being recognised for their contributions and all well deserved.
 
Personally, it was a shock to win the first time and even more this so time as my main aim is to fulfill the quota for cunt of the group 😄 It’s an honour to be awarded in such a way and I now have 2 trophies under my monitor 🥰

The 5th year of the FG Awards!!
After a year of reconnecting with the real world for all of us, this year has flown by so quickly, but we couldn't end it without having our star awards to round off the year on a high. It was a privileged year too, as we were able to present many of our FG Awards in person at our biggest ever face to face meet up. I really hope you enjoy reading the below piece. A unique place deserves unique rewards to give us all the best memories to hold on to. So let's get into them!

Young FGer of the Year
A person that has had an extremely busy year for himself, studying for A-levels and the hope of getting into one of the most prestigious Universities in the land. However, even alongside this really important life task, he made himself available to help FGers complete raids in Destiny 2, and any support needed to get a Dungeon done he would be there. Not only this but he's now branched out to Dark Souls games, sharing his feedback with all of FG, including creating his very own PPR.
 
Winner - @Venom  - Charlie

FG Noobie of the Year
Since joining in May, he has been an ever present all over FG; contributing in different in multiple topics, sharing new information, posting videos, reviewing new games for us to look at, giving us great joy (and banter) on FIFA nights and equally getting involved throughout the week on other FG gaming nights too. I delight to have around and a real FGer with same core values we all hold to help each other where possible.
 
Winner - @Luseth  - Matt

Guardian Down Award
We had some funny moments this year from people that carried on trying regardless of their epic fails. There are two winners this year as there was no separating them through the amount of  trial and tribulations they've had on Destiny. So much so, this Grandmaster clip epitomises how and why they couldn't be separated. 7th run in, after not getting very far at all, we reach the first turn in the map before the first checkpoint. I get blasted into space and thinking Nick and Kempy would be the saviours, only they could manage to kill themselves in glorious fashion.
 
Winners - @Bluebear  & @Kemp210  - Nick & Kempy
 
 

Archbishop of Banterbury
This guy has had one hell of a ride this year so no wonder we find him most nights randomly in a party with us all and when you least expect it, blasting out the most random expletive you can think of, which usually sends everyone into a laughing frenzy. He's always getting on most week's, especially FG Fridays bringing the jokes of his weekly escapades along with him. For all the hard points in his life over the past 12 months, Bones is a fine example of cracking on and trying to have as much in life as you can.
 
Winner - @slamminbones  - Paul

FG Skills Award
You look good, you feel good. You feel good, you play good. FG's Mr Smooth Operator has been banging out the park across multiple games this year. Whether its ridiculous fancy flicks on FIFA, his slick sniper shots on Warzone, or even Ko'ing 2 gangsters at the same time on GTA. The guy has it all. Not to mention his joke delivery is usually bang on the money. Top props for an absolute top guy. Glad we have him at FG.
 
Winner - @jordie1892  - Jordie
 
 
FG Play of the Game
Keeping the award going from last year's debut at FG, there have been many FG clips that have been simply superb. Kenny's efforts to annihilate everyone in CoD, Leeesh's finishing skills on Elden Ring bosses, yet here we are talking about another top evening of goals from our resident Left Centre Mid for FG, Macca. The clip below is not only one clip but it was an array of some incredibly skillful goals from just one evening with FG. Hopefully the likes of the people above can push more people here to share their clips for everyone else at FG to see.
 
Winner - @Macca89  - Macca
 
 
FG Top Contributor
Tough one to call this year, with J4mes Oxford still delivering tons of info for us, Kenny chipping in with some great variety across FG but someone that just shades it this year is our favourite Canadian, an incredible person that can also double up as batman online when we want him too, and has also started a podcast with Sarah that we're all very proud of to say he is an FGer. Some great reviews and some great info about some games most of us never knew existed. 
 
Winner - @Riff Machine  - Chad
 
FGer of the Year 
Who says you can't win awards more than once? A real toughie as many of you have been fantastic for FG this year. This person has kept many a game night going, and when you need that one extra person, you know he'll be there. He keeps me going, and many other factors in FG tick, including multiple server games and offering his incredible support through his extra talents with art, maths and videos. All in his own spare time. Epitomises what FG is all about and I'm sure he will keep on helping people forever more. Thanks for everything this year, Greebs.
 
Winner - @Greboth - Chris

Hall of Fame
Two amazing people that have been here since the dark ages. They've always been a dynamic duo that's kept plugging away with some of our most senior crew on Destiny and CoD, laughing away and giving things a go even when it may not end up in their favour. And it was great that we were able to meet them at our biggest meet up ever in November to give them their awards. Always available to lend an ear if you ever needed it and give you the straight talking truth even if you didn't know you needed it! Resident FGers for life, thanks for everything Mazz & Gaz.
 
Winners - @mazzer  & @wapntake  - Mazz & Gaz

We're finally done for another year! Phew! Looking back I don't think I'd ever see a year flyby as quick as this one but it certainly has and I hope it has been a great one for you all at FG.
We must keep true to ourselves and keep being around for each other. You all play a fundamental role in why FG is the one place - the best place - on the internet where people can feel loved and know they'll always have a friend here to lean on when they least expect it.

Wow!!! Sounds like its something i could really burn some hours on 😁😁

I really need to get this game, i've heard so many really positive things about it. How long roughly did it take to complete?

The directors cut is so tempting. I haven't played the game at all but have heard so many good things about it that i really want to give it a try.

Just read that they are planning to make the game gapless like God of War, so there won't be any loading screens. I think this would work really well, that way there will be nothing to stop the momentum and pull you out of the game, which would be awesome for a horror game.

EA have confirmed at the EA Play that they are doing a remake of the first Dead Space game, amd personally i can't wait! I loved this game and think it could look awesome on the PS5

I did enjoy Guardians!
 
I tried GoW (the first game), on paper it's my sort of game but I struggled to really get going with it unfortunately.
 
I would definately recommend the Witcher 3, would make for a good christmas game as well as there are some snowey / wintery sections as well. The storyline and side quests are brilliant and it's a game I am contemplating playing again with the upgrade coming out. Maybe I will finally get the plat trophy (I think I just needed to use the crossbow to shoot and kill so many people in the face or something like that) 😀
