  1. We're finally back with the reports and back with a bang too! For the last month I think we've all been enjoying the FG inter-tourney Super League so our form and number of games has dipped somewhat on MNF sessions, however it all clicked this past Monday when FGFC dominated all aspects of play to get promotion back to our usual Division 3 status but also set up a very promising Season 78 to get back up to dizzy heights again! The night started out in true typical FG fashion...by going 1-0 down 😄 I love the fact we're so nice to our opponents to give them a one goal head start. Although, we weren't phased by it much as our passes and link up play was on point from the off. Club Tropicana @GazzaGarratt has been changing his build to try a little more CF play and built up a great connection with resident big man Rodman @Lurch which resulted in a brace for Tropicana, with the winner being an unlikely role reversal of the giant forward Rodman crossing it in for a big bullet header from the little pocket rocket Tropicana. We were trying to make it hard for ourselves as we tried to build momentum as the second game started off with a straight red card to Jordan Prickford as they broke away after 5 minutes, and the 10 men of FGFC could only last 10 minutes before going 1-0 down again. A back and forth game however saw the game swing both ways up until it reached 2-2 at half time, followed by a fantastic second half with Teriyaki Project @Antpool84 turning into the follow up king, and Yeezy @jordie1892 finding his shooting boots once more to secure the 3 points. Those results secured promotion back to Division 3, however 3 more points would secure the title and with 4 games remaining, we thought we'd have a great chance at finishing 2 full seasons if we carried on the winning streak. Alas, why is it always the way?? A 3-3 draw was first up - a ding dong affair with a never say die last minute goal from TestiCal @TheMuggySpud to start the erupting scenes, but brought back down to earth when it was followed by a game that can only be described as the biggest script we've ever seen. The game started emphatically, a super 3-0 lead after 30 minutes with goals from Maccaroon @Macca89 and a double chip from Yeezy @jordie1892 led Gary Goals @LordBaguette to even say his famous words of 'I smell a quit'. Oh, how wrong were we. The FIFA techymites were busy behind the scenes concocting their greatest achievement - and it really took the biscuit for sure. Before the half had even finished they were back in to go HT with the score at 3-2; their second goal completely covered by 6 of us, but somehow the pass finds the man at the edge of the box for him to shoot through the same 6 players and keeper to find the one spot it could go in. Every attack in the second half kept on getting blocked and you could feel the pressure building up. Maccaroon making some crucial last gap blocks to push their ironic 100% pinpoint accuracy efforts wide. Thor then went for a second yellow just after the hour which felt inevitable. What came after was more unbelievable. 78 minutes saw the equaliser, a few more near misses for FGFC, followed by some intricate passes in front of us which somehow made Gary Goals slow down so the forward could have the ball and slot it home. The 5th and 6th followed in the closing stages where their team hit techybites special super button to renew their stamina and beat every FG defender to the ball to win 6-3. C'est la vie. Eventually, after a close fought 2-2 draw, a 4-2 win finally came; Maccaroon having enough of waiting to get another title by smashing a perfect 4 goals in from a hatrick of assists from Gary Goals. Being back in Division 3 gave us all a lift, with renewed spirits coming from most of the team chipping in with goals through the night (even TestiCals @TheMuggySpud notching from a classic team goal). A draw and 3 wins to end the night on was quite simply superb. There was some extremely solid defending through the team, with lots of blocks from Yeezy, Roberto Barlos @Findmartin and Rodman. Teriyaki Project @Antpool84 has his dispossession boots on, grabbing the ball back multiple times in the middle to start off plays, resulting in more Follow Up King goals to add to his tally. Maccaroon continued to add goals and assists, with even a Penalty save in the mix too - right deserving being the top goalscorer and assist maker on the night (although he had to considering he was singlehandedly on his own with 2 red cards from earlier in the session 😄). Averaging 2.9 goals per game, it really was a night to remember where FGFC, turned their seasons around with promises of maybe reaching the Holy Grail at some point in the coming weeks. GGFGFC @Macca89 @jordie1892 @LordBaguette @Lurch @Antpool84 @GazzaGarratt @TheMuggySpud @Findmartin Highlights below with some great goals through the night (My voice was muted on stream...which i didn't know. Probably best as you could hear what was going on over my excitedness 😬)
  2. Thats a great find La, nice one. John, have you tried reactivate the email address at all? Your emails have been deleted but the email account is not deleted. Found this on Yahoo. You should be able to grab your old password from your browser password store in settings. I'm only suggesting this as if we can get you into your email account it sounds like it'll save everything.
  3. Tbh, I've never been either, but once some of the guys here noticed that you can get a huge Private server so we can play around shooting each other and having a laugh, the game went way up in my thoughts! Getting spanked from random snipers from 13 miles away is annoying...but sniping one of your mates and then charging the same donkey when he respawns is the shit i'm after 😄
  4. BF5 disappointing?! For here, it was probably the best thing to drop for free since its actually a far better MP game than we realised. It gives us the chance to also have huge Private War Games on FG Fridays now too 😎 And I mean, if anyone doesn't own Wreckfest already on a PS5 then they're crazy.
  5. After having a very successful and hilariously funny inaugural poker night last year, we thought it was a good idea to get one back up and in the diary again! @Stretch616 has offered to kindly set up the table and all the relevant details so we can all join up ahead of the event as that's what is normally needed to enter. We'll sit in the FG discord (can be accessed on your PC and phone if you haven't already), stick the cameras on and have some lolz. All I know is £5 buy ins so far... keep checking back for more details!
  6. Great work to get back to Division 3, lets keep Movin' On Up! 💃 GGFGFC!
  7. I think when I watched it at the time I didn't mind as much, however the more I think about it and if I watched it again I'd be getting more disappointed with this bit as he doesn't really fit into it all! It's so frickin random that I can't get my head around it.
  8. It seems to be based on RNG related to Gold and Platinum medals. 👇 Didn't expect a quest after it though.
  9. Really? But why? Maybe because it takes up another 100gb for one more map?! I heard it was exactly the same with some very subtle differences. I suppose it helps matchmaking if they have one map but I didn't think that would be an issue due to the amount of players that play Warzone in the world?
  10. I think you're so close to getting a fantastic drive mate. We're very similar as its just some consistency that will help us out. Or a rainy track, you seem to fly on them ones 😄
  11. Weirdly, I thought Sonya was cast correctly. She seemed much more hardened than the one in the little clip above and I didn't think she was the weakest one out of them all. She didn't have much script to play with so I suppose what can she do? The weakest character, albeit I don't think he also didn't do too badly was the main character Cole. Thats where the script just didn't need it imo. He literally gets some random power which I don't think anyone understands and its good enough to beat Goro in 2 minutes - the 9 time champion of MK!!?! Its a solid 6-6.5-7 because they have a lot of awesome section within the film coupled with some very awkward bits that just don't work. Its gotta be a pre-cursor to other things surely. Theres just so much stuff there. Or maybe Video Games are just a poisioned chalice when you want to adapt them to films and TV series - I mean, Halo just really hasn't been done (properly) still.
  12. This looks THE one. An actual PS5 game that will knock your socks off. Seen some early reviews and gameplay and i'm massively impressed. I'm not overly great with horror games as it has a bit of that linked to it but its worth crossing the comfort zone line to pick this up. The worlds are procedurally generated too, and apparently its Rogue-Lite so probably also for the people that like torture as you die you lose nearly everything. I want to get just for the PS5 controller usage as its apparently one of the best ones to show it off since launch too.
  13. Yeah, i'm not going to puposefully go and spend all my time on it, this event really is more so just if you want some of the cosmetic stuff thats on offer - what I would say is even if you don't decide to do it, you really should grab some of the bounties that offer bright dust. Always try and do these whenever you see them as you'd much rather have the dust than use silver on something you really see you like in Eververse. There is this too. Hopefully though after a few strikes and whatnot it will drop for the people that have it.
    @Antpool84 rivalling Torpedo @TonyAE86 for who can reach the Moon with their shots! Epic fail! 🤣
    @jordie1892 at the end 'ah, i'm a fuckin' midget' 🤣🤣🤣
  14. I do wonder how many have watched this so far and what you all thought. We had a good debate on Sunday evening online about it too! All in all I thought it was great. Cheesy for sure and not very deep, but still a great, easy action watch which gave us some moments that we could connect to the MK series. There are clearly pot holes galore, especially since they created a brand new character just to help the Scorpion story through the film and i'm sure we all wished for more of his back story but it wasn't to be. I saw a comment online and it very much resonated with me. This felt like a buy into a MK series of films and/or Netflix styles TV series. Pre-MK film before MK1. It was like a taster for lots of different avenues with probably not enough of the good stuff, whatever bit you enjoyed. Fight scenes were amazing, albeit short. Great, solid cast too. I do think it was very balanced and they all portrayed their characters as they were scripted really well. Kano was the star of the show by a MILE. Absolutely hilarious, way better than expected. I think you'd be very disappointed if you thought it was going to tell you the whole lore and backstory of MK but i'm not sure how they could do that on a lower than average movie budget and 90 minutes to play with. CGI was on point though. Kung Lao performed the best fatality and the cheesy line of 'Flawless Victory' was funny AF. That moment typified it Great Cheesy Goodness. I know Tom @LordBaguette and Jordie @jordie1892 felt otherwise but depends what you expected. I knew it would be up @Macca89 's street too!
  15. I'm thinking of the original PC version then, didn't even realise you could get it for Xbox.
  16. When will we have to start calling you Gummy Bear, Thomas? I'm so glad I toned down the fizzy pop some years ago, I used to be the same!
  17. We don't need to...cos its shit. We made Tea, so we stick to Tea. Everyone else here clearly has a problem and I'd question where they were actually born - now your roots, or at least tea leaves. What have I started....
  18. I'm just popping on here and there to do a few bounties. You should be able to do this around a few things that you all may be ticking off as the season comes to a close over these next few weeks. Nice little addition to add a Strike playlist in the Tower map to find same class guardians to help speed up some Laurel hunting. Just remember to go to the triangle thingy on your class to deposit your medals every so often. As I don't own Heir Apparent i'm going to grab that at the very least, its an awesome Machine Gun and love the Arc shield that comes with it. I suggest anyone that doesn't have it, try and go for it as its a reasonably easy and quick way to obtain an Exotic Machine Gun. I don't even wanna mention who wins as I think us Titan's will be blown away this year...
  19. Who's gonna win this year? Titans won last year but I sense it'll be Hunters this time out unless there is a last ditch bid from Warlocks. Ah, I'm still Titan though as I'm sticking to my roots 😎 Here's the breakdown on how it works - info directly from Bungie website: Guardian Games is a limited-time live event in Destiny 2 which celebrates Guardians and the spirit of competition. Guardian Games begins on April 20, 2021, and ends at the weekly reset on May 11, 2021. Guardian Games is an event for all Destiny 2 players to celebrate their favorite class as they compete against one another to see whose class reigns supreme. The winning team will have bragging rights, as well as a commemorative statue on display in the Tower for the entire year. Participation Requirements While all players are invited to participate in Guardian Games, new players must first meet the following requirements: Escape the Cosmodrome to unlock the Tower. Once new players have met the above requirements, they will unlock a Milestone telling them to speak with Eva Levante in the Tower Courtyard. Class-Based Competition Earn Medals from completing activities and turn them in to the Tower Podium to earn points for your class's team. Laurels Pick up Laurels dropped by other players during Guardian Games to purchase Bounties, Contender Cards, and rewards from Eva. Laurels will drop in all activities except for Gambit and Crucible, where they will be awarded after a match has ended. PLEASE NOTE! Players must wear their Guardian Games class item to generate Laurels and progress any Guardian Game bounties. Previous Guardian Games class items (the Cunning Rivalry Cloak, Mighty Rivalry Mark, and Sage Rivalry Bond) will not generate Laurels or progress any Guardian Games bounties. Laurels do not drop on the ground in Gambit or Crucible, and are instead rewarded directly to players. Unrecovered laurels do not go to a player's Postmaster and must be picked up to count towards their total. Medals Players can earn medals from Triumphs, Contender Cards, and activity completions. Medals are stored in the Medal Case found in the Quest inventory. Turning completed Medals in to the Tower Podium will increase your team's score. PLEASE NOTE! - If the Medal Case is full, Medals earned through claiming Triumphs will be lost. Medal Case - See Quest Tab for more info Contender Cards Players can purchase Contender Cards from Eva. Completing the Trials or Nightfall Contender Cards will award a Platinum Medal. Completing the Strikes, Gambit, or Crucible Contender Card will award a Gold Medal. Platinum Cards: Trials Platinum Cards: Nightfalls Contender Cards: Strikes Contender Cards: Gambit Contender Cards: Crucible Rewards The three exotic Guardian Games ghost shells can be purchased with Laurels from Eva. The Color of Speed exotic Sparrow can be earned through collecting class points and completing Triumphs. The Heir Apparent exotic Machine Gun can be acquired through a Quest if players do not already own it, and the Heir Apparent catalyst has a chance to drop from banking Gold or Platinum Medals if players already own the gun. Additionally, there is a new Legendary class item for each class, as well as two emblems and two shaders that players can earn by completing Triumphs. Bounties Eva offers three different Guardian Games Bounties which will reward players for completing them: Weekly Bounties will reward XP, Bright Dust, Glimmer, and Laurels, Daily Bounties will reward XP, and Additional Bounties will reward XP and Bright Dust. Weekly Bounty Daily Bounty Repeatable Bounty Tower Podium and Ceremony event During Guardian Games, the Towers Guardian Games Podium will change daily to reflect the current status of the leading team. Class flags will update throughout the day to show which team is leading, and there will also be a calendar showing the winner for each day throughout the event. On the Friday of each week, the Ceremony event will become live in the Tower. Points accumulated by players during the week will determine the winner of each week's Ceremony event. Players will receive rewards and a glow that is active when in the Tower, which will remain until the next Ceremony event or until Guardian Games ends. Additionally, player's class items will also change colors to show their current standing after the Ceremony event, being gold, silver, or bronze. Known Issues Listed below are known issues that players should know when participating in Guardian Games. Several Quest items, such as the Medal Case and Contender Cards, will not be removed from player inventories after Guardian Games has ended. If the Medal Case is full, Medals earned through claiming Triumphs will be lost. Class items acquired from Zavala are awarded at 1250 Power Level instead of at 1300 Power Level, which can be acquired from Eva. Players will not be able to deposit Medals if they were acquired in the Tower after players have already deposited Medals of the same rarity. Players can return to Orbit and head back to the Tower to deposit those Medals. The Laurel acquisition step of Heir Apparent Exotic Quest only counts laurels picked up off of the ground. Non-masterworked Guardian Games ghosts purchased from Eva display a 'Completed' objective. Certain shaders may erroneously remove the glow from the Eververse Warlock Guardian Games Universal Ornament set.

  21. I'd like to see it because I never played KOTOR although I watched my Stepdad's son play it abit years and years ago and it looked pretty cool. Do you think they would make it for all platforms or just PC again?
  22. You don't need a teapot every time to make one you know! Just stick a teabag in a mug and wait for it to stew. I mean, its the same as coffee as you have to wait for it to cool down anyway 😄 Disgraceful. I'd love to find a coffee that isn't like drinking a Cig, so good luck with that one....and Earl Grey can get in the deepest darkest hole in the ground. Don't mix. Just do Tea, Paulo. I always knew you were the brightest one of the bunch 😎
