Oh man, its out this Friday at Cinemas and streaming. They've also released the Opening Scene for a flavour with Scorpion and Sub Zero! Now this looks like the best polished MK movie we've ever had!! Anyone else looking at watching it this weekend?

Some awesome pets here! Here's our first Dogs, Dobby and Luna. They're now just over a year old now. Always has the best Daddy pose! Loves getting his balls out!🤣🤣

Mentioned it on Discord but best to say it again! 🤣🤣🤣 Happy birthday Chad @Riff Machine and Carl @TurboR56Mini ! 🥳😎😘

Its insane that the legacy lives on way over 10 years. What made you think of coming back after all these years mate? Do you play games enough to stick around? As many of us have got PCs and you're more than welcome to join us on some stuff....Valheim is a seriously cool game we all chill out on and have some fun on our private server. Oh, you've got to get it mate. We've had some great laughs on it. Much more chilled and kind of proper racing on GT but without idiot random knobheads that you can get when entering online Sport races. We also then have FG Fridays that pretty much are the oppposite where we basically rip each other to shreds in whatever large MP game we end up playing!

I think this will all come down to what legally can the existing leagues, UEFA, FIFA and Government actually do about this. The problem we now have is that they've committed themselves to this league in a very clear statement. Even if it doesn't go ahead, is this classes as bring Football into disrepute and they still get punished? I mean, as most people are starting to realise, the irony of all of this is that its brought together literally EVERYONE who follows football in a united stance. Something you'd always hoped would happen for more positive things in life. Only other thing to add is that I wonder how many people relate it to how the Premier League started. Without going too deep into it, I really do think that is different. That was about an individual country restructuring its own leagues, although the FA back then hated it and said it would never work. This impacts all of Europe in the contest of being able to play against each other and effectively earn the right to qualify for certain things.

Levy didn't want him to win the cup to give him any more fuel to say he's made Spurs a better team. I mean, technically they are 4th if you add up all their points since Mourniho started versus all the other teams. Just key people missing at the worng time and not given the freedom to sort out that absolute pap defence. One centreback, oh, I dunno...someone like Vertonghen they had 🤦‍♂️, would've took them on to at least win some trophies. Thats what they wanted didn't they?

I think its just Battlefield 6 if i'm honest. Not really seeing many new games out there and probably a good thing as the current games we're playing atm really have some legs left in them. I'm still looking out for a top game still on the PS5 that I can really sink my teeth into - with Gran Turismo 7 delayed until 2022 and not much else, it feels like we'll have to wait way longer.

Yeah, it looks like a decent playthrough @Shucker which in fairness if you're looking to pick up a game to play, get it done and finish it seems like one that could be worthwhile. @Riff Machine , have you had much fun with it at all? Also, Datto did what I think was a very well balanced review of the game. Isn't one sided at all but helps you maybe think about your own questions to help understand if you'd like the game or not.

Not 100% behind this view but I won't be surprised when UEFA unveil their plans for some/all of the big 6 to say that's what we wanted and back out of this idea. The UEFA Cup needs to be an important trophy again, so money needs to be thrown at that imo. No relegation from CL to 'Europa League'. I'd just take a standard knockout tourney again. The premise of being in Europe needs to be you're repreenting your Country on the European stage. Money gets in the way of every morale thought process now, its really disappointing.

With the self catering holidays allowed now, it was nice to find a break at relatively short notice this weekend just gone. 5 minutes just inside Wales, keeping our distance from pretty much everyone still (with the exception of the Sheep 😄) it was nice to just see a different 4 walls, even if I still had to work on the Thursday and Friday - I suppose forcing Working From Home does have its perks from time to time. Hope everyone is starting to get a little feelings of normality back each weekend that passes by.

What a race Imola was! Right decision to bring the track back over a year ago and the race was certainly one to not miss! Hamilton showed he was human by making a mistake that ultimately cost him the win as he would've caught Verstappen imo. Max run a strong race and that start was something to stand up and applaud, although I was expecting Perez to outshine him, especially in the rain! Somehow he just wasn't on form and really suffered badly as the race went on. Bottas struggled hard and thats why I probably have some admiration for Hamilton in that race as he clearly showed people how to drive that car as he made his way back through the pack. The Bottas/Russell incident was a tough one to call - overall I think it was a racing incident but if you had to blame someone unfortunately it was Russell - albeit, Bottas did make a slight movement. Russell reacted to the twitch a little more than we would all have expected and thats when he touched the grass. Glad both were okay. The star was clearly Lando. With the Ferrari's struggling to keep it on the track, his teammate left in the dust behind him, he was immense and getting round the track and also for a moment after the restart he looked quicker than Verstappen! Top effort and personally I was delighted to see McLaren back where they belong. Finally, it wouldn't be an F1 race without good ol' Mazespin doing what he does best! 🤣

I looked at this and first and only thoughts of this are that it's a Powerplay made by the big clubs in Europe to UEFA to sort out the Champions League competition and ensure a better way to create funds for these clubs. Whilst I still think it won't happen, I must admit the strong stance in how it is worded is that its very much more than I first anticipated, it feels very real when I woke up this morning. We'll still sit tight though because we all shouldn't be naive to think that they knew the backlash would be huge. I agree that the Champions League needs amending - however, my changes wouldn't give them more money as i'd have less teams in it. Its called the Champions League for a reason and no team, regardless of their history, has the divine right to just be given spots in any competition.

Welcome back Joe, I'm Lee! I'd like to think there's still lurkers and certainly people from back in the day! Whilst a lick of paint happens from time to time and new fun stuff keeps going on, the spirit of being utter reprobates and lolz lives on 😄 What do you play these days @Silent Hawkk ? Are you on PlayStation still? That's the main platform alongside PC gaming, in fact more are buying both so we can stuck into more stuff. We still kick out on MW Remastered on FG Fridays every now and again. You'd enjoy the stupid banter I'm sure. Hopefully you'll stick around, get involved around FG and enjoy your second homecoming 😎

I'd love to finish some of my raid seals so i'll log on and get a list of whats left to get done on all of them. Cursebreaker just needs one or two eggs I believe and i'm done on that. I'd also like to try and get some of the regulars that don't raid much (@techno DaveyDave @IPSWICH HIGASHI , @wapntake , @Mazzer66 , @Plumbers Crack , etc) and some of the newer ones (@jordie1892 , James @Lurch , @G_dub52 ) into some raids, not just Deep Stone Crypt whilst they are in the game. I think this will stand us in good stead for the next Season (14) starting really soon that will bring Vault of Glass with it. I expect some great fun with that raid and maybe bring some oldies out of the woodwork @Stretch616 @Diddums @TigerBurge @BO7H B4RRELS etc. A Freddo? They're expensive now, you know. We'll see what we can do 😎

@Macca89 or Macca-roons! New nickname that should go on the back of your FIFA Pro Clubs shirt! 🤣🤣 @TheMuggySpud credit to Cal, he exploded the Stream on Monday Night Football with this!

Finally some decent updates to the PS5, although they don't go too far just yet reading into it. I think the PS5 downloadable games on external hard drive is only a good idea if its extremely quick to copy it back on to the internal one....otherwise you might aswell re-download it anyway! The party is update is better, however it won't remove these new groups...although we've got used to it. On that note though I do hope people have gotten over the notifications element to it because we get hundreds of notifications of all things on our phones, its not the worst thing i've seen now.

You have to ignore the title - it was a joke by Didds to get people to actually get people looking at the situation of the fact we completely rely on our own money and fantastic donations from FGers to keep FG going - especially the maintenance of the website and its supporting services, the FG Feel Good Fund (FGFGF) and additional things such as creating private FG servers for all of us to play on together. I'm always very VERY conscious on how much we ask and remind people of donations. I didn't remind people much at all over the last year (until recently lower down on an FGFGF post) on how important this is as to what stuff happens here, but clearly that was for good reason whilst we've all been likely to have been hit in lots of different ways due to this Global Pandemic no one could've ever predicted. Always open to people seeing this more and different ways to keep it in the back of people's minds - i have been seeing if there are ways of making options open on FG somewhere to just help collect regular donations for people that have offered to donate regularly but want something just to auto do it for themselves. I think i can do that if some want it still. The only other option that i've had on the backburner is some form of reward scheme linked to donations but its very difficult with a place like ours. People should feel like they want to donate to a family rather than 'Become a fully fledged Member only by donating'. If we keep getting donations regularly then we may never have to think of this - if not, then you could argue it has to be available in some way to keep our fun going. It can be one where some care, others don't kind of thing. My ears are always open to you lot on your views 🤗👍

So i'm seeing really mixed reviews and this is no way near as bad as Anthem's launch whilst still having some key core issues it seems. It actually seems to have a great feel to the game and the unknown right now is whether or not it has that endgame longevity to it. The first big patch also came with some huge nerfs which upset a lot of people - although, for me, buffs and nerfs are just a part of the course for RPG looter shooters now. I can't bring myself to buy it still although it totally feels like theres quite a large timesink that is definitely there - and maybe thats the catch for me as I don't want a heavy grinding game at the moment. Its nice that it actually has been commended though in many places so far.

Although there's been a backlash at Sony (not PlayStation as they have different management within), I kind of read it as its a bummer but as their record of exclusive games have been pretty much gold tier standard for multiple years now, they can't really screw up at all - so a few games not quite making the grade for them get put on ice or cancelled. Business wise, if it was down to that i can understand why but sure would be disappointing if I was a fan of Days Gone and/or Uncharted.

Re-watched The Quick and the Dead on Netflix was trying to fall asleep. For a 1995 film it ain't all that bad as its been some years since I wtached it previously. It borderlines on being slightly wacky at times because of the stories and how some bullets go through who gets shot but a decent watch with a very young Leonardo Di Caprio. Sharon Stone as the main lead alongside a different role for Russell Crowe probably makes it more interesting now than it did back in the day.

Has this got anything to do with that Jason Schrieber article at all @J4MES OX4D ? I'm not really understanding what has actually happened, other than Sony have decided for business reasons, remaking TLOU is better than a new Days Gone and Uncharted game?

Whilst its sounding super hard and something I wouldn't normally do, i'm really backing you all the way...it sounds like you're being trained into a real life Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat king by understanding how to link combos together! I always think if you can take some before and after videos (just for yourself btw) to remind you how far you've come from when you do one punch/kick, to eventually a combo of actions. Good for the soul 🤗

I love that you are doing this. I never have much time over the past year to go over old threads...although thats probably a good thing with so much new stuff to sort and get involved in here! Oh yes, its on the cards and a few people helping to take a look. The real difficulty is just holding on a little longer - I'd hate to be the person that invests a shit ton of effort to find the right place, destination, and budget, only for us to find out in a few months that they then don't want 50 reprobates sleeping in the same place and we all lose some form of deposit. I'm also starting to look into one off activities we could do where we could just find a hotel rooms (when we're allowed to book them) for a night after doing whatever we do in the day. It doesn't just have to be a long weekend, although that is the best FG thing to do if we can do it!
