  1. Complete fiasco booking boosters - took me 40 attempts and the earliest one I could get was Jan 7th. Walk-in centres are already at max capacity all over the country with queues many hours long. There's only ONE in my town right now to serve 154,000 people and Boris thinks they can get this done by Dec 31st!? Then there's this We're well and truly back to square one it seems.
  2. **Apparently draw has been voided due to a technical issue resulting in confusion and controversy and will be done again later. Ronaldo v Messi in the CL Benfica v Real Madrid Villarreal v Manchester City Atletico Madrid v Bayern Munich Red Bull Salzburg v Liverpool Inter Milan v Ajax Sporting Lisbon v Juventus Chelsea v Lille PSG v Manchester United
  3. Exactly my thoughts. Let's say it took another 90 seconds to clear the track from the accident - that meant the race would've finished with the safety car still in play and actually crossing the line first to 'win' the race itself! It would have gone down as the biggest anti-climax in sport history especially under the circumstances. I'd definitely freeze the lap counter for situations like this but I imagine it would add a technical and tactical headache for teams regarding tyre management if there was a potential extra 10 laps possible. This definitely would be better than finishing under 'improvised' decisions. One thing is for sure though, Netflix have already commissioned a film..
  4. Max Verstappen confirmed as F1 champion after Mercedes protests rejected at Abu Dhabi GP | F1 News WWW.SKYSPORTS.COM Formula 1 stewards have rejected both of Mercedes' protests over the dramatic late stages of the Abu Dhabi GP, confirming Max Verstappen as the race winner and 2021 world champion ahead of Lewis Hamilton.
  5. Best and most controversial finale in F1 history that will be talked about for decades! Never seen anything like it - on par with Man City winning the title in 2012. Hamilton was lucky at the start and Max got a last lap miracle of the highest controversy. Mercedes also paid the penalty a risky stop strategy. We all know what Hamilton’s excuses will be ….
  6. They've managed to find another aspect to monetise - this time it's Killcam Themes which provide a lame-ass boarder around the screen for all to see during death and the final kill/POTG. Next up we'll probably have pre-match musical anthems. Soon there will be more content in the menus than the actual games themselves.
  7. Screen tearing seems to clear up after a few minutes as does the performance but there is the occasional dip here and there. Nothing major though especially considering there is an entire city rendered and 36,000 cars on the map. Reflections and ray tracing is remarkable too Traffic volumes at junctions is also really immersive - Cyberpunk can barely have 3 cars and 2 pedestrians on the screen at any given time before the framerate tanks
  8. Great experience! Bit of screen tearing and performance issues but it’s an incredible insight into what’s possible
  9. Looks very impressive and I'll definitely give this is a go later. This is exactly where gaming should be at right now and just proves how obsolete and ageing the lies of Call of Duty engines and Frostbite is - sure they may be acceptable on the surface but this day and age they are incredibly limited in terms of scope and performance. The more developers that produce their own cutting edge engines or adopt Unreal 5, the more visually spectacular and strongly performing games we'll get. If they back it up with gameplay then we'll have a conveyer belt of quality titles flowing.
  10. Came across this Football fans spending millions on club crypto-tokens WWW.BBC.CO.UK Supporters have spent at least £260m on controversial fan tokens from major clubs, data suggests. So football clubs are exploiting their fans whereby 'you pay us real money and in exchange you get store credit that can be spent on worthless shite'. The people buying this rubbish probably aren't the real fans that spend £50+ on a ticket - it's probably the eFans who make 15 second edited compilations on TikTok who are in a completely different country to the team.
  11.

  12. If he goes this route then they should scrap any potential probation/fines as part of his sentence and instead look to push at least 3 years in jail concurrent on each charge. Him and his lawyer sound like a right pair of clowns and the city shouldn't have to fund more legal stuff.
  13. Almost 3 years later and he’s been found guilty in 5 out of 6 charges. The evidence was so overwhelming, damning and quite frankly hilarious that it’s absolutely embarrassing he pleaded not guilty. Some highlights;- - The Trump supporting white supremacists were his black friends - He bought the props himself - He wrote the note himself - There was a dress rehearsal captured on CCTV - Several text messages talking about final plans - Proof the ‘suspects’ were paid for their time What an absolute knob!
  14. I had a brief go at this earlier and it's not bad but I didn't feel I was truly having fun. Map does look pretty nice though but there's nothing new or revolutionary here. The main menu is absolutely plastered with customise this, customise that, buy COD points for this, buy COD points for that. Every screen I visited there was a pop up either about microtransactions or some customisation that would require COD points. Can see why they make so much money when people can literally one-click purchase anything that's on the screen whether they want it or not. It's not quite as bad as the NBA 2K titles which have now become virtual casinos with a basketball mini game attached and I know they have to make money but I just found the whole thing tacky. I think I may just put COD on the backburner forever now. 6v6 is dead in the water and Warzone isn't going to improve or evolve so I'll happily not play it knowing I'm not missing out.
  15. Leicester lose to Napoli and drop into the Conference League playoffs🤣 Didn't know that was a thing but it sounds truly tragic.
  16. Remember all the medical 'experts' who said the pandemic will come to an end in September and that two jabs would guarantee herd immunity.. I'm kinda missing Insulate Britain right now because they are too busy having their buttholes insulated in prison but those were a good laugh! We now have to wear a mask going to Curry's but a packed out Weatherspoons on a Friday night is fine apparently. The only blessing is that we've swerved a lockdown so far unlike many EU nations thanks to early vaccine uptake but I hope we don't return to that. Can't be as bad as Australia though - you can't even breathe outside unless you're triple jabbed and have a valid excuse on why you're living your life.
  17. Even the Activision staff that are on strike are working harder than Sledgehammer right now🤣
  18. Anno 1404 FREE through the Ubisoft Store right now.
  19. Ubisoft de-lists overwhelmingly disliked NFT announcement video | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Ubisoft Quartz was revealed a few days ago—and folks don't like it. 1,000 likes and 31k dislikes so Ubisoft hide the video🤣 Great to see people united in this - did they really think they could flog some shitty digital certificate for images associated with a franchise they've ruined of a game that's absolute wank? Can't wait to see their range of XDefinant crap! Having said that, there will be clowns that buy stuff associated with Rainbow Six and they could probably milk some Splinter Cell junk quite heavily.
  20. Barcelona out of the Champions League in the group stage for the first time in 21 years and into the Europa League. Just imagine if they land West Ham, Rangers or Leicester at some stage😅
  21. Looks like Omicron is in full swing and in the UK, you can attend Christmas parties but you are recommended to work from home when possible!?
  22. It's off which means the Prem game against Brighton will likely follow too
  23. I've also noticed a lot of trash celebrities jumping on the bandwagon - they are selling .jpeg NFT's of pictures of themselves for $20,000+ when you can just download the image on Google for free. There's also artists selling digital pictures of their works for more than their original physical piece and now some gaming companies such as eSport teams are looking to flog worthless shite via these means. I hate all this crypto shit - it's dreadful for the environment, has obliterated the GPU market for consumers and has enabled organised crime to thrive. There is also no protection for people that dabble in it but that's their risk. I hope it doesn't get regulated in any way and that one day it all collapses but I fear it will only become more prominent and retarded especially surrounding NFT's. If people are willing to drop 5 figure sums on a image of 50 pixels then there is a huge gap for the likes of gaming publishers to sell things like encrytpted game engine codes for tens of millions and give credibility to the concept. Ubisoft have set a horrible precedent and its only a matter of time EA and Activision follow. I'd love to see other publishers along with the likes of Sony and Microsoft distancing themselves from anything like this so it doesn't become the industry standard. There's already been GPU miners disguised as games appear on Steam which were nuked so the water is being tested but I can see EA selling UT player cards the NFT route for insane fees and they will use their army of shills to engage and entice. It was only a few years ago people were fearful of adverts appearing in games and now it's all about publishers milking worthless shite for outrageous sums and once-popular content creators scamming their own fans the crypto route without a care in the world. Soon gaming developers wont even have to make games - they'll just make copyrighted assets which will be sold as memorabilia for a game that doesn't even exist.
  24. Well Alec Baldwin apparently claimed that the gun fired by itself in an interview shortly before he and his wife both departed Twitter. This claim has been disproved and it's put him in quite a bad light especially as he said he didn't feel guilty and tried to shift all responsibility. He's dug quite an unnecessary hole by the look of things and this was through his own strategic exclusive sympathy-garnering interviews
  25. Campaign releases later and anyone hesitant in dropping £50 can always pay £1 and get it on Game Pass instead😎
