  1. Don't sweat it mate, the stats look great!

     

    MNF this week was once again absolutely on point with great laughs and we played some awesome stuff at times. Apart from encountering one sweaty team and 2 absolute FIFA script moments where it just didn't want to give us the goals, we smashed it all the way through! GGFG!

    Properly enjoyed last nights games, abit hit and miss but it was good to get on the scoresheet and actually do some half decent midfield play at points 🤣 GG's!

     

    Yeah it was a great craic mate! You hit some absolute bangers...only shots from 25 yards plus from now on! 🤣

  3. Gutted! What an actor he was.

    He was immense in Tombstone 

     

    Couldn't agree more! Insanely good and made that film one of the best modern westerns we've ever had.

     

    Rewatching Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick. Easily can see why this time round had to wipe a tear from the eyes when Tom Cruise is thanking him for everything. ❤️

     

    P.S. Check out Mindhunters if you can. 1993 film, a few twists and a packed actor list given the time period.

  4. I'm really excited for it - mainly for way more durability in the controls and for a new Mario Kart game coming out, that has up to 24 racers at once. Price wise, its probably more of an issue across general society as games prices haven't gone way overboard like many other things in life have. I'm thankful for it, because I've been able to own more games, but at the same time if they go £10-15 per game, I can understand why to a degree.

     

    Nintendo's capacity to keep their own games exclusive has really made sure they can control this market still as there is still a lotta love for these unique games. Steamdecks and RoGs are a nice alternative but its all about how these games feel way more unique to the user than anything else. Perfect for a family really. I'd love to hook up two decks when they're out and getting them on the TVs in my outbuilding.

  5. Not sure I want to talk about the obliteration of Blackburn Rovers right now. The most toxic environment we've ever had, worse than when we went down to League 1, 5-6 years ago. Ironically, I've spoken to a guy at the club who works in there, and confirms they are just sapping all the energy out of the place. Every bit of spare funds is being sent back to India - and there doesn't seem to be any sight that they want to actively sell the club.

     

    Its hard these days, football. Its a sinking hole that is super expensive, so for us to survive next season we desperately need to find someone that wants to buy us or I seriously worry for the history of everything at the club.

  6. 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.

  7. 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! 😄

  8. @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!

     

    STORE.STEAMPOWERED.COM

  9. 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 🤣

    Eustace is currently 4-0 down to QPR in his first game. They could be rock bottom come tomorrow and after those games are finished, other teams in and around will still all have a game in hand over them too. They've even fallen into the drop zone tonight with nobody else playing by virtue of goal difference alone. He's got a monumental task on his hands and if he can't keep them up, he'll have a huge job on his hands trying to craft a League One side out of what he's got and what they'll have to spend. 

     

    "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!

  11. 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?

  12. 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.

  13. 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 really do think this is the model that they should use for the main game: One base game that they constantly update with new content, rather than a new game every year.

     

    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.

  15. 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.

    The Meta shifted from Huracan Gr.4 to Alfa for Race C

     

    Didn't think the meta was ever a Huracan! Horrendous handling.

    Would love to see some new tracks personally...

     

    I do think it would be great to see something like a 2.0 update that brings 3-4 new tracks. I actually wouldn't say no to a bunch more Cafe Menus as I think they've been an added edition to help the game flow nicely.
