I promised you all for a special update from the FGFGF on my recent update about summer improvements to FG, so here it is! Buckle in tight for this one 😄 As most of you will hopefully know by now, La @RenFengge has come into help me a huge amount of late and she found an opportunity within lockdown to do a few extra special gifts as we had a few generous people in FG that could contribute significantly to help make a few people smile. First off, Bob @Baabcat has been here for many years and we've seen him be amazing of late, trying super hard to help many of the Destiny 2 FGers get involved and put up many raids each and every week. Its crazy to think that after nearly 7 years of Destiny, the past 6-12 months is the most active it has ever been at FG with so many complete FG raids, dungeons and Nightfalls done with each other. A large part of this was down to Bob so we duly obliged when knowing Charlie @Venom had a PS5 but his Dad didn't. After working out the logistics with Clive @Teenwolf25 , we informed Bob online how great he is and gave him a huge smile from the FGFGF with a new PS5. Secondly, Gary @techno has been a mainstay in FG for so many years and helping in areas that people really haven't seen before but he's always there to pick you up when you need it most. He always offers advice, even when you didn't realise it. It was about time this guy from 'up Norf' received something extra special, especially whilst he has to be ploughing money into huge alterations in house for his wife that has a degenerative disability. Thanks to a few more significant others, we were able to not give away one PS5, but two! (Logistical mare with how he got it but it was paid for nonetheless 😄). A shipping problem lies with our merch currently, but i've managed to test a few new design hoodies out, finally sorting the last Xmas FGFGF giveaway present to @Dan94 and for all his continued efforts with his artwork and helping me significantly with his amazing Gran Turismo Articles, @Greboth received his own personalised hoodie. Some also might not be aware but our beautiful Scottash @Nutcuttlit had a horrible scare recently when his daughter was knocked over by a car. Whilst battered and bruised she soldiered on like how her Dad can be, so we thought we would send the best current release on Metacritic, a 2 player co-op game It Takes Two. Hopefully the smiles can keep wash away the bruises over time 😄 There was a few FG mugs given out too, @Findmartin @TonyAE86 @Lurch @Antpool84 to name just a few. We're working quite hard to get some extra things to other FGers outside of the UK too. Its more of a logistical nightmare (and has been for a few years) but watch this space and we're extremely hopeful of doing further good things to keep people smiling around the world in the not too distant future. Lastly, don't get take the next part lightly. Thank You. ALL OF YOU people have shown you have the ability to keep making so many people smile and happy, especially when it hits some people's lives when they need it most. There's some of FGers out there that won't be named that are at their darkest points, and stuff like this - showing that you care for others at such a hard time for all of us - helps them realise life is worth living. Keep giving when you can to make FGers smile. GGFG all ❤️

Man, that was the EXACT same clip I thought about when I posted above! Nothing beats the simple pranks like those ones 🤣🤣 And I though Bam was knocked out when he took that hit! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If people are still buying it right now, then they'll keep it out there at higher prices for as long as they can. People are impatient so its unsuprising to see it being bought. I do think it'll go to its lowest value a month before the PS5 upgrade is due. I'll keep my diary free in 2031 when it comes out 😁

Couldn't agree more that Gr.4 is a struggle. For me, it clearly shows the VW and Peugeot are miles ahead in that class. I think @Lurch and myself did the best we could to get some points for our Porsche team, being on the limit so much but just couldn't catch up @Mikepjbell and @JBR-Kiwi , even in a straight line with a tow. First race I felt great and super solid, just annoyed that I gave slightly too much room for a very late point for Mike to get past me, especially with just 3 or 4 quick laps left. You live and learn for next week 😄 Second race I chose to run Softs and save fuel so I didn't have to pit. It actually looked a great decision and I think I would've been in the race for 3rd if I hadn't had the most weirdest of spins on the fast straight. It was like a spin on a wet F1 race, must've touched abit of ashpalt off the racing line and it completely lost the car and into the barrier. 15 seconds lost at least but at the end I finished just less than that behind Mike. Never looked forward to getting back to Gr.3 next week as much as now! 😄 This in spades. Super to see Paul be so close to the pack after weeks of trying his hardest to get better and Nick is having an immediate impact to jump in the vacant seat at VW to team up with Kiwi. I think those tracks with our cars are a recipe for disaster as if you make one simple mistake, the Nissan and Porsche are all over the place. I thought you had Nick at the end of Suzuka though and next thing I saw was the position switched! Did you say it was the penalty that dropped you back or did you miss the chicane again?

SkillUp massively approves which will only boost the game as his reviews over the past year have been on point.

I suppose their issue is they have the 3 developers and I imagine at the time they decide to break the contract cycle it was always going to be messy. Lets hope we are seeing what we are talking about as they really could make more of the new MW if it was revisited alongside Warzone.

The more I see these small little unique games, I start to think the same too 🙈 Nice find and share, Chad @Riff Machine

I'll grab the tennis one. But yeah, 100% agree it dropped off the cliff this month 😬

Lol, I think people these days must've looked at Jackals of old and thought, oh that's how I get famous and then forgot they didn't go out to anyone else other than themselves. I had a love hate relationship with Jackass of old as I don't like cringey acts which some were but within it there were some golden moments that they did, usually the ones that their mates didn't know what was going on.

Good point - and they'd be more the types of games I'd play on a hand held. Stop tempting me Phil!! 😄

I hope so too...just not so sure in the PC world we live in now. Just nice to see them mainly doing okay as they get older.

I saw a tweet that stated you could save battery life if you cap frame rate in your settings, although seems pointless if you can't have it above 30 as everything last gen is minimum 30 and should really be 60 at minimum!

I'm putting my 50p on this nice and early. It never takes this long for CoD release news to come. We'd usually get leaks too and there isn't really anything of merit to really bet on. Don't be surprised if you see them put a ton more elements into Warzone with a new roadmap in the coming months and I really do think they could create their own playground gamemode like how BF2042 Portal has been created. Problem for Activision is they have bigger fish to fry with the horrible news they seem to have lost control at with Blizzard.

Seems like it. it may work well for this game as some remakes are very much wanted from the playerbase, but it would be nice if they don't do remakes all the time. i think its more the fact they can reuse resources clearly as it saves the 7 years of creating a brand new game from scratch. never played this originally but know from many of you here it was an awesome game so if it gets the PS5 treatment i might have dip on it after it comes out and we've seen the initial reviews from some of you guys and girls.

I need to get a 3D printer! These are insane Steve!

Looking forward to tomorrow's racing, hopefully just having a clean race with no spins barrier hits would be a positive outcome as we go into the Gr4 category! Anyone else had a look at the tracks at all?

I was gutted for you buddy, I think we've seen you improve over recent weeks so hopefully you can be back in the pack this week! And don't apologise for them, they weren't a bother at all 🙂

Thats still pretty good though. 64 players isn't seen these days enough so if it helps fill lobbies, then lets look at that as a positive.

Maybe I need to create an OCD FG Medal for us weirdos that love this place too much 😄

I had to the upgrades to the entire site so in addition in made some of these elements live ahead of when they're actually ready to be used! 😅 We always knew this would be the way, so keep watching this space and over the course of the next few weeks you'll likely see these expand and re-run as we tinker with the points and ranks system around it. Doing it as quick as we can though! Hopefully the little updates you can see already will be enjoyed!

Whilst i'm not condoning whatever he did on the night, I think its been clarified these are from over 4 years ago. I've seen the pics don't show a great deal of things that went on - more that he fell asleep and that some girls took some photos. It really could've been anything, nothing or something bad, nobody knows.

Happy birthday @Mazzer66 !! Hope Gary @wapntake got you something nice!! 😄😎💃

He wanted to stay at Man United to fight for his place. Ole said he was happy to keep him based on his performances last year which makes sense for them to give him a go as he was in the best 11 side for the whole of the PL in the second half of the season.
