    F1 2021

    Another decent race yesterday. Portugal was bound to be less incidents although it was good to watch strategies unfold. Hamilton and Verstappen are really a stride ahead of others. You could see on a track that Bottas is extremely quick at, he just couldn't handle the pace and made costly errors to lose his places. It felt like Hamilton was in the zone this week and was pretty much unstoppable. Norris yet again driving phenomally well. Can't believe he's 3rd in the rankings, its super to see although I think he was abit unfortunate not to come higher because he had to switch to Mediums to cover the Sainz pitstop 1 lap before and then a few laps later people started to realise the Hard tyres were working slightly better than Mediums. The last few laps got interesting to try and get the extra point from the fastest lap. Red Bull thinking lets try and knick the point, and then Mercedes covering with Bottas. I mean, Verstappen was probably a little unlucky to get his lap wiped as it looked millimetres but it was better to see stewards be consisitent at this race as they picked up every time it happened as opposed to previous races. Definitely a great start with two manufacturers very competitive and seeing McLaren slowly edge themselves closer. Even Ricciardo had a great race after a really poor qualifying. I fear Ferrari are inevitably closer to pulling out of F1 though. They just look a distant memory of what they used to be back in the day. I'm not a personal fan of them but the sport needs them regardless.
  3. I agree with this 100%. As soon as I saw 'Campaign' in the title I sighed. I agree with you again though if its remastering MP side of things. We've proven that the private lobbies are where its at and we need more flexibility in that sp[ace around game modes and party sizes.
  4. I just don't get how that email in unattrievable. Thats surely against Yahoo's terms of service, as they can't just remove you as the owner that email address...because if so you can just register that same email address straight away as a new person. You tried that btw? If it then says email address in use its pretty clear you can get it back again. Not sure why Yahoo are being arseholes though...

    We might be out on a walk tomorrow around this time. I'll see what time we all get up and the wife wants us out of the house all together!
  6. Aaaaand 'Action!' We're nearly there, and this week's TWAB gave us the date we needed to know so we can start planning to put a few teams together and enjoy this raid like previous Destiny 1 players loved and enjoy watching new players experience the different challenges we'll face. The date? Saturday 22nd May 10AM PDT / 6PM UK Time Gonna use this thread for 2 things; Stuff/info that was covered off in this week's TWAB and anything that people find oput about the raid as abnd when it becomes available Start understanding who would really enjoy to try this on the first day and week of launch so we can create some teams So for now, here's some basic stuff to know from the TWAB. I'll try and summarise the main points first: Vault of Glass will launch with Contest Mode (explained here) enabled for 24 hours. You will need to be at 1300 Power to be at the cap for all of the encounters. THAT IS 10 POWER LESS THAN THE CURRENT SEASON CAP SO YOU MAY ALREADY BE READY FOR DAY 1. Clearing Vault of Glass with Contest Mode active is the first step to access the new Challenge Mode in the Director and the Tempo's Edge Triumph. Completing Tempo's Edge, a curated list of Triumphs, in this newly unlocked Challenge Mode, will be how a fireteam crosses the World First finish line and claims their prize. To enforce the Triumph requirements in the Challenge Mode, your team will wipe if you fail the success conditions during each encounter. They've been pretty clear they want to try and keep as much of the original aesthetics so broadly the raid should go as most that have completed will know, however there will be updates to bring it into line with Destiny 2's state of play so I'm still expecting a few mechanics, areas and enemies to be tweaked so its not all the same. So, who's up for it?! I'll add an event on the Calendar too (see below). Be good to know what experience below you've had before (if any) and if you do fancy getting involved in the festivities in the month ahead! Maybe sharing thoughts about what weapons to ready up too wouldn't go a miss below to help others! Sound off below FG 👇 P.S. GIVE ME THE VEX MYTHOCLAST!!!!!!
  7. Launch Day for Vault of Glass into Destiny 2 Time expected to launch - 10AM PDT / 6PM UK TIME Power Level Cap for Contest Mode - 1300 Put your name down here so we know you'll be around. Also see the separate discussion topic in the Destiny section HERE
  8. Totally interested @crispymorgan , ofc you knew I would be though when it comes to all of us 😎❤️ Just a few thoughts as i'm still looking at separate big meet ups with La and even just some day activities because I suppose the one big thing we don't know what to expect yet is what countries what border to border regarding Covid, which is a bit of a bitch to book anything abroad right now. Also, need to know budgets, possible dates, inventory crap we need, and if thats flexible per person - some might wanna go for a 2 days, other for 4, etc. There's loads more questions obviously, but these ones will help initially so I can understand what i'm also planning with home breakaways and the FG ones too 😘
  9. 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 😬)
  10. 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.
  11. 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 😄
  12. 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.
  13. 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!
  14. Great work to get back to Division 3, lets keep Movin' On Up! 💃 GGFGFC!
  15. 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.
  16. It seems to be based on RNG related to Gold and Platinum medals. 👇 Didn't expect a quest after it though.
  17. 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?
  18. 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 😄
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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' 🤣🤣🤣
  22. 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!
