@Antpool84 was literally on fire last night!! Couldn't put a foot wrong and they couldn't handle his runs, crosses or shots! Big up to Josh too, played a corker outfield for some games and I recall an incredible stop in goal when it was behind him. Ridiculous.

Its been a long time and it could be hard for me to get back into - only because of the bullet sponge bosses and then it reminded me of how different and fun Destiny was! lol. We always wanted to try an 8 player raid though and never got the chance to do so. That would be pretty cool.

Hi @Kohken , nice to meet you! No, not heard about those before. You can leave abit more about yourself if you like - such as games you like/dislike and maybe what you're playing now? Hope you enjoy your stay at FG! 😄

@Luseth shown me this the other day as it got annouced in the Steam reveals....what in the crazyland is happening I do not know but could be hilarious! FEAR FA 98 on Steam STORE.STEAMPOWERED.COM FEAR FA 98: Silent Hill mixed with FIFA 98. Use your enemies' heads as the ball, use knives, and summon demons! the very first survival horror soccer simulator!. Play against the computer, or the classic local mode... Demo is available on PC!

Definitely felt tougher this week than previous few weeks, but always forget we end up getting promoted lol! Still, a good laugh and we did well to grind out some decent wins around the few games we got absolutely creamed 🤣

Well received across the board. Looks very Oblivion-esque without the need for special power stuffs. I'm definitely more interested in it as there's some funny clips online showing what you can do on it.

"No Eustace, No problem" is the motto that many Blackburn fans have coined since this mess began. 2 wins in a row, 2 clean sheets, and some very winnable games incoming. I think I'd still be staggered if we make the playoffs personally, but with 13 games to go its a chance that many teams would rarely get these days. They've been galvanised massively with all thats gone on and they seem determined to show everyone else they are good enough. Its a funny one, as I'm not really sure who in the world would take our managerial job still! So many unknowns, its going to be surprising, whoever it is!

An Overwatch 2 Spotlight dropped yesterday with lots to unpack in it: I think Marvel Rivals was the kick in the arse OW2 needed to start coming back to the table with a series of updates. Perks are the new way to upgrade a hero through the fight, with minor and major upgrades becoming available as you go through the round. 6v6 is back again, and I think they have a separate Competitive queue for it(?) with the Goats Meta being introduced when 3 tanks and 3 support was key to victory. Hero 44, Freya, comes out and a new one on the horizon too. 'Stadium' is the biggest new mode ever released and is very interesting to say the least. Definitely adds a different dimension on how to play a PvP match and most likely far better to play when you play as a group together given you have buy specialist updates to your heroes out of a pool of funds you receive from the previous round - best of 7 rounds. Oh....and Loot Boxes are BACK! 🤣 All in all, I was pleasantly surprised at the news. Stadium feels like the right way to go, but I do fear you need a serious amount of people to want to jump in and play it with you to make the most of the mode. 6v6 for me is key. Whilst they touch on the long stale matches that could happen and other key issues they had with it, for the majority of OW players it really hit the spot so i'd be interested to see the player pool sizes if they ever released them. It will only get good traction though if it has its own Competitive queue otherwise they still can't compare 5v5 and 6v6 properly. Outside of that, loot boxes back makes me laugh after all the years of drama. Never sure if this is enough to perk people's interest again for the next season (15). A full competitive rank reset comes with it which always helps if people returning to see how it plays. Thoughts anyone?

When you get into all the detail I think its easily both sides being completely unprofessional. Owners wise, should have sold the club years ago and they've not done really anything to make a connection with the fans or the town. Kept the lights on, but literally thats it. We've recouped a serious amount of money from players sales over the past 24 months and that has literally gone nowhere other than to the owners to keep lights on. The 'significant investment' words in the recent statement is actually quite laughable. 5 loans, loads of old, past prime players and now we're left with them to pick up wages when we still have a good chance of being in the playoffs come end of the season. Manager wise - it really is an open secret that the club hasn't been flush for cash and we have to be shrewd and clever. He knew what what he was entering and how far the travel was and arguably it isn't that far for a Manager to travel to see the family whenever he wanted to get back. Reports have said for a while he has been applying for jobs behind the official media's noses and thats really not good when he's been preaching the words togetherness. Eustace has been a great manager and overall I'd put blame slightly more on the owners - but the more you read it still is quite insane to leave a club like ours with our history and extremely good youth setup, to go a club that is one of the favourites to go down. The whole lot is just depressing more than anything. Hopefully, the news of this won't die off and it will cause action on both fronts.

I'd rather sometimes these annual games took a year out to make significant updates and changes so it feels more of a reason to buy the next game. Still never good to say you're releasing it and then bin it completely.

Absolute disastrous times at Blackburn. Sitting in the playoffs and the owners have never really been forgiven for our downfall for the past 10 years and now John Eustace wants to leave us to go to relegation favourites, Derby. Its not left him in a great light either tbh but overall picture is just an absolute circus. Good owners are hard to come by these days, but boy I'd love it if we could find some that want to see our club flourish once again.

I think we all believe its the best way for a game to evolve for a consumer - but in reality gamers end up getting pulled in by a new release. Too many games are actually falling by the wayside because they have just evolved the same game and gamers perceive this to be more boring. It sounds insane on the face of it but there is too many examples now that the gaming public work in a specific way and need new game releases to get energised about games these days. Shame really.

Luckily only night missed of gaming and I wasn't on personally anyway so I didn't feel the impact tbh. I always think these moments are because hackers took them down rather than their infrastructure got screwed. Obviously we'll probably never know but seems more feasible this can be happen in this day and age.
