  1. Liverpool v Roma and Real v Bayern. Roma shouldn't be underestimated but Liverpool could certainly powerhouse themselves into the final. I think Real will probably have a bit too much for Bayern in the end especially if the ref is on their side too Arsenal have Athletico Madrid which is the tie they probably wanted to avoid. Win that and they should win it but the home performance is key and not to concede an away goal. Neves definitely for me. Ronaldo's goal was great but there have been better in the football league this season that don't even get a mention. Even though Wolves have bought the league and broke all the rules in the process; they've had a great season.
  2. Ah I see - Lawn Bowls must be the one where they have coffee and 99p ice cream cones available from the shack then. Gotcha
  3. I really like Bowls but it's quite a dangerous sport and there tends to be crowd trouble at games.
  4. This has thrown quite a few people https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/1667896941884942467 as their profiles are now restricted even if they were entirely public before. You may have to tweak these to restore your account visibility like it was before because the new default setting removes many standard visible features.
  5. Looks amazing
  6. Devastating finale at the Bernabeau tonight - Juventus were incredible but it always was going to end in such a dreadful and predictable way.
  7. Yep, out of all the businesses I work with, shop with or am registered to; only Greenmangaming have so far acted upon this forthcoming change. Just hope any company that dodges this gets held accountable with the penalties outlined. I hope I don't get flooded in the last couple of weeks before the deadline but that's the way it seems to be heading.
  8. Big changes starting next month to data protection in the EU which you may start noticing as businesses prepare for this implementation. You may receive emails and other documentation which outline existing and new permissions on how your data is stored and used, plus how firms are able to contact you and what information you want to receive from them. More information about this change here http://www.wired.co.uk/article/what-is-gdpr-uk-eu-legislation-compliance-summary-fines-2018
  9. Oh Dear, Boss Key Productions, the makers of the megaflop LawBreakers have announced their new game; Raidcal Heights which is surprise surprise a Battle Royale game. Lawbreakers is probably the biggest failure in gaming - it wasn't a terrible game but it was the wrong game at the wrong time and had absolutely no appeal. It was also destroyed by its competitor Overwatch and performed even worse than Battleborn. Now they are going down the BR route which is even more brutal as Fortnite and PUBG dominate this space and with H1Z1 going F2P and Paladins releasing their own Battle Royale clone soon; I can see this game failing miserably too. I don't know why they've gone down this route I honestly don't. ye
  10. I quite like this advert which is popping up quite a lot on TV although not as much as cunting Trivago. The beer itself isn't very good apparently and has been likened to piss water.
  11. This is great!
  12. A couple days late but what a finale in this game
  13. Just LOL
  14. $2,000 is a decent budget for an upper mid-range build. He'll need a good monitor and peripherals to go with it but those really do add to the cost especially a good monitor to really get the most out of the graphics card. I recently had to replace my PC with a £1,400 pre-build but thankfully I already had £500+ worth of hardware recently upgraded before I bought just the unit itself. For $2k, he'd be looking at an i5/i7 with a high clock speed 4+ GHz total, GTX 1070/1080, 16gb DDR4 RAM, an SSD plus HDD and a decent cooler. Graphics card prices are mental right now so he may even be best going for a solid pre-build where the price hasn't been bolstered to accommodate the individual hrowing prices of cards. This is what I had to do - spend £1400 on a pre-build or £1,700 with the components separately - usually it's the other way round! In terms of a monitor, a high refresh rate is key to get the most out of the card. Don't want to be rocking a 60hz vintage with a 1080ti for instance.
  15. Don't get me wrong; I believe the Destiny YouTubers/Streamers have good intentions but I don't believe Activision or Bungie are doing this for the most productive reasons. What usually happens is these targeted people get flown out and get to play and record pre-produced content for their channel to promote with along with a script. I also don't believe any feedback given in this time will be effective and that's if these pampered people even have the balls to do so. Bungie have already blacklisted a string of critics and people who stopped playing so unless they've had an overnight epiphany, I can't see them welcoming damning criticism especially on their doorstep. Real and serious closed testing events like this are usually watertight and done in total private so if this is done as a charade; I'll be very sceptical of any benefit for doing it. This happens every year in COD and we always get broken, unbalanced games that need multiple patches and updates despite the likes of Nadeshot saying it's 'perfect in every way imaginable' so I really have to take things like this with a pinch of salt especially now as Destiny is languishing behind even indie games in popularity. I will follow this carefully but I would expect detailed information and feedback from the visitors given to the community on the content and plans going forward for it to be a deemed genuine and worthwhile exercise.
  16. Looks like a last-ditch desperate PR move. Pretty much the Destiny equivalent of Ali-A and Tmartn when they get shipped off and pampered for a few days to check out the latest material Activision has to offer in return for biased YouTube coverage to appeal to their subscribers. It's all a load of bullshit anyway - ideas and feedback never get taken into consideration with things like this and if they did; what gives YouTubers and Streamers power over the paying customers? Perhaps if Bungie actually listened to the real community and offered beta events open to all product owners; the game would be in a better place and moving in a better direction. These 'I'll suck your corporate cock and you can suck mine' events are just an outdated and unproductive way of doing things and they always end up being dishonest for the real community members. The script will be; ''Bungie flew me off to their HQ and I got to check out all the upcoming content which was super exciting and from what I saw the game is gonna be better than ever'' and once they've met their scripted obligation; it'll be back to Fortnite for the cheque to clear the next day. How many times did we see this with COD.
  17. Worth keeping an eye on - comes out around June on PC, PS4 and XB1 and it's made by the team that did the likes of Planet Coaster (excellent game) and Elite Dangerous
  18. Excellent campaign I thought - multiplayer let down that game severely which was a shame as for all the hate the game got, the campaign was probably the best since the old Modern Warfare days. It's a shame that with 3 different developers on board; they all have differing qualities but none of the studios have the true quality across the board to make an excellent game.
  19. This will definitely perform better than Sledgehammer and IW's games I bet but even that might not be enough. Fortnite is dominating YouTube and Twitch that nobody is really interested in COD now and that includes even Activision's paid bum-boys. I've seen that content creators and Streamers barely get any ad money for COD-tagged videos now either so the franchise may struggle to capture the widespread audience that it used to. I bet they'll include a Battle Royale mode in a move of desperation and that may draw in more but it's a tiring brand of a tiring series in a tiring genre that's really running out of innovation and ingenuity. If Treyarch can't do it this year; COD is done with I think. I'm really praying that Treyarch do their best though as I'm pretty sick of Battle Royale now.
  20. I don't play Overwatch anymore but the PC version is a bloody incredible experience. Controls are flawless, performance is remarkable and the community is still buzzing. Highly recommended.
  21. I actually think Lindsay Lohan has a case here. I don't know too much about the lawsuit but clearly Rockstar created the character Trevor based on her.
  22. I'm not a fan of Fortnite but its development is far more smoother and impressive than compared to PUBG. It being free, ideal for a variety of people and not too serious, makes it very popular and welcoming game. PUBG on the other hand has had its day - it'll still be successful going forward and be popular, but greed, lousy development and numerous issues really sour the overall experience. Both games have been incredibly successful but on the face of it they are nothing special - just a popular mode (that's been around for 5+ years) that is becoming more saturated by the minute. Neither game has much scope, variety or depth and if it wasn't for the virtual marketplace on PUBG or the Fortnite cosmetics; not many people would care. PUBG was brilliant in the first year but ironically when they 'finished' it; that's when it started going downhill whereas Fortnite goes from strength to strength as the more YouTuber's ram it down people's throats; the more it will continue to thrive until the limited Battle Royale concept fizzles out and people move on to the next big craze whatever that is. I don't think BR will be as prominent as survival was but it's certainly had a bigger and faster impact on the industry. Not sure if either game is deserving of its overall success but they have both proven to be the right games at the right time even if they aren't anything all that defining.
  23. Spec Ops The Line free on Humble Bundle for 48 hours https://www.humblebundle.com/store/spec-ops-the-line?hmb_source=humble_home&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_1_layout_index_1_layout_type_twos_tile_index_1 Excellent game - kinda like a military version of Gears of War.
