Couldn't agree more with you @JBR-Kiwi , this weeks racing was seriously good fun. 10 players on the grid this week after 9 last week - we'll soon have a max 16 players on the grid after hearing @Macca89 @Diddums and @Stretch616 are also looking to get involved when they can. I'm really starting to get a rhythm going for the first race of the night. It took me the whole of practice though to work out what car could work on that Tokyo track but I eventually settled on my 5th choice, the Audi TT. Although I got the 3rd fastest time in practice (pipping @Mikepjbell ) and I messed up my Qualy laps to start 5th or 6th. Probably didn't help racing @phil bottle and @JBR-Kiwi . The first corner we all knew was going to be a toughie and it worked out well for me with Matty @Misneach_ in 3rd with @Mikepjbell and @jordie1892 close behind me. Greebs got off to a flyer with Kiwi but it seemed even Kiwi was picking up penalties like pretty much everyone on the track after hitting walls along the way. If I could've hit less walls than I feel like I was getting closer to Kiwi than I ever have - no way near still to challenge 2nd but enough to keep my hopes up that I'm improving. Mike was pushing hard but probably too hard as his penalties racked up. After a promising start Jordie tried his best to keep in the middle of the pack but lost time through each lap. I was very impressed with Harold @Spacedeck finishing 4th after his penalties were slightly less than Mike's. Phil struggled to get going for once which was a surprise but we also saw Paul and Matty make some massive strides in getting closer to the pack. I'm hoping they see their own improvements week on week. The other 2 races were all over the place but great to shift the pack around! Mike held his own very well in our mid-duel holding me off until I made silly mistakes which let Phil and Matty past. I was getting penalties like others kept getting put my Supra just wasn't fast enough for some reason although it felt good around corners. The 3rd race i did better but without little practice for many I think that helped me in my favour tbh! One thing I noticed was actually, I little bit more practice on the first race suited us all. There's a balance to be had because we all struggle to get there on time. Let's keep an eye on it as I wouldn't want people to get bored over too much practice but at the same time it helps many of us out I believe.

Happy New Year to you all and good thread @Spacedeck . We had a quiet one with the kids, and they enjoyed staying up until midnight although they were knackered and still not awake yet! I'd like to come back to this thread as I want to think about what goals I'd love to achieve this year. Just because we think it might be another one of those years, I dont want to accept that on face value as there's so much we can still accomplish but I know I need to do much better than 2020. One thing is for sure though, I would love to do more for others this year - as an individual but also as a family at FG. We can smash that out of the park for sure 👊

Worth a punt then Harold? I've never heard of it before.

Hahaha! Now that would be awesome mate! Get me a Delorean with 1000 free credits! I've heard they are amazing machines. I think @Greboth has/or is picking up the same/similar version? I really didn't think about using them for movies or programmes at all. However, I do believe VR is now a viable and worthwhile product, especially after seeing the PSVR working which isn't on the same level as what you've got. Glad you had a good Christmas buddy, and also glad you're not a stranger in these crazy days 🤗

Great thread which also reminds me that I actually should try and fully complete one at some point this century 😅

100% agree mate. The UI is the case of ain't broke so why try and fix it. Theyve talked about updating the system in the next patch to make it easier to select the correct version of the game apparently. I think once you know how, thats not as bad as we first realised - although the free upgrades for PS5 were bloody hard to find via the PSN store. No worries. I've got a few clips with them on so may need to Google or YouTube what the score is with this. Very odd. Also, does anyone leave a disc in and when they turn it on next time it says 'disc not recognised'? Its not a major one as I just take it out and re-insert and it works but just very weird.

I need to understand what the selling point is above CoD zombies cos most of us have that already on the latest ones. Its more likely a £30 game on the face of it right now.

Hmmm, not sure Dan. I think just like the PS4, there are 2 settings. Ill check some of mine but I'm sure they are all okay after changing them in settings and then in a party chat. What is he putting on the hard drive? I'd agree it was one of my major worries but I've realised that its about installing PS4 games on the external hard drive which leaves the PS5 storage free for PS5 exclusive games. However that solution wasn't how it was sold so its still disappointing. PS5 games are far smaller btw. I currently have 8 PS5 games installed on it with still 250GBish free. Everything else just runs off the external hard drive.

Keep us posted Tommy, I can't see why it shouldn't be huge knowing the LoL following.

Can't deny that I chuckled to a few of these 🙊🤣

Yeah but its not a pretty sight for him on social media when we can't beat bottom of the league at home!

I was lucky enough to get some of things that I love - games and Blackburn stuff. I think Hayley would've also got me FG stuff if it wasn't for the fact she would've had to ask me to sort which would've ruined her surprises. Games wise I've now got Ghosts of Tsushima, PGA Tour 2K21, Mafia Trilogy and Cyberpunk. All for PS4. I got both home and away shirts for Blackburn with my name on the back as I have done for pretty much every Blackburn shirt I won. I feel this years home and away is probably two of the best kits we've had for a long time. I also got some pretty awesome merch from Ready Player One. If you've ever watched that like I have 367 times already, you'll know there's 3 keys in it. And I got those! Hoping to get them on display in my gaming area ASAP. Oh, and how could I forget another Christmas Jumper and not just any jumper - A Destiny one! 😍 Extremely lucky to have the family we have and a wife that lets them know what I'd love to have. I'm also extremely happy my Son got a PSVR. Its the first time hes been on his Playstation for the best part of 2 days and NOT on Fortnite! Result!! 🤣 Loving what everyone else got so far. Especially the Lynx kits and Tommy's sons PC.

Will have to take a look Tom @LordBaguette as that's great praise. @Jason and @JsinOwl have had a dabble as Tommy has mentioned and I think they're happy with it too. The only thing i'm a little concerned about is how the hack and slash technique works. However, thats mainly down to me not loving a lot of button mash sword games which I don't think this one is from the face of it. I'll get it installed and we can try some over the next week if we find one evening.

Maybe in an hour or two if a window of time allows around playing with the kids. Whats your window and i'll shoot a message out into discord to see if anyone is about.

Looks half decent for an alpha. Reminds me of CoD Zombies a little. Not sure if thats a good or bad thing.

Can I ask if we can do something like 20 (or 30 max) minutes for Practice on each of the races this week and see how we get on? I'm thinking it'll help us get more races in and likely keep it pretty even as it won't give too much time for more considered drivers to get their eye in! We should try and find more time between each Tuesday then if people want more time on the tracks and cars. We could then do 3 races minimum perhaps?

Last week was absolutely awesome racing. Having 9 of us in the race definitely add to some more battles throughout the races and great to see new people giving GT Sport a go too. The first race was a blinder foe me personally, perhaps the best it's ever been. I'm getting seriously fast one lap times in practice and sometimes in Qualy, so transforming that into consistent performances is the key part. The first 4 lap race started miserably because after getting the 2nd fastest time in practice, I was back down in 5th after a few scratchy Qualifying laps. However, the road opened for me and I believe Matty @Misneach_ for once as he slowly started to get into the race. A quick battle between him and Mike @Mikepjbell saw Matty lose track position and with Mike hitting the fast chicane barrier full on to lose places on the first lap. @Greboth and @JBR-Kiwi as per usual were battling quite hard for first spot and because I was around only 2 seconds behind it kept me with a fighting chance. On the last lap Greebs and Kiwi went hard into the chicane with Kiwi coming off worse, enough for me to slip past him into second just behind Greebs. I was so happy with that race and reminded I can actually get some consistency. The second race was a killer. We put BoP off so Paul @slamminbones could join us with a Gr.2 car when it was a Gr.3 race which actually made for some challenging and unpredicatable racing. Kiwi had the power with Greebs being left for dead on straights. Mike battled back and forth with Greebs initially, and stuck close by staying ahead of @phil bottle at the same time. A huge long lap saw lower down @jordie1892 do extremely well at navigating himself into the top of the next pack, with myself close behind followed by Harold @Spacedeck . I eentually past Jordie although it took many corners, for us to the both get close again for another battle. We took a corner far too fast and all of a sudden Harold sneaked past, only to unfortunately lose it on the next corner. I feel like if he could've held that corner he would've went on to beat us. An unfortunate mispick of tyres for Mike ended up meaning he had to pit twice which left him 2 seconds behind Phil on the last lap which got a bit tasty until Mike couldn't hold one of the corners. Greebs for all the effort just couldn't close the gap enough on the corners on Kiwi who took a great win when tyres were wearing extremely thin. Super to see @TonyAE86 be around as well Tom @LordBaguette initially, although sounds like he need to sort his controller out! GGFG everyone!

Good to hear the shooting isn't all that bad. I got it for Crimbo so will try and find a few hours to myself to try and get into it. Hopefully the PS5 with the latest patches will sort the game out so its playable and fun at the same time.

You both still around after Christmas @Baabcat and @Venom ? Been meaning to get on once the dust settles a little bit so might be available to raid later today.

I loved this film so watched it twice already. Outside watching Elf and Die Hard 1, 2 and 3 yet again because why the hell not, its been difficult to find any movies of late. Started to watch the new Netflix space film with George Clooney in it last night but I was shattered so will finish over the next few days.

Starting to worry that we could lose Mowbray as our manager after misfiring in the last half a dozen games. We're dominating over teams, but struggling to break teams down. They get one chance and they take. Unfortunately too many fans want instant success but I don't think we're a club that can afford that so we should live in the real world that its a journey in getting back to where we'd like to be. Bradley Dack was back yesterday, as were a few returning players after injury but we need a good run to restore some faith in some fickle Blackburn fans minds that they think any other manager we could afford can do better.

I dont think there is one so I'll set one up Paul @slamminbones now. If anyone wants in, just let us know here initially and we'll add over time.
