Some of the regular FIFA lot had suggested some iconic sayings and sounds that we regular hear so I think we should bank up all the ideas so we can make a virtual soundboard! I've already found an online place that we can make the sounds on, which we could even then use on a stream or even do something even more random and maybe make a physical one 🤣 So let's hear the best ones you can think of people! @Macca89 @LordBaguette @Dan94 @G_dub52 @Lurch @jordie1892 @Glen11 @ChaosGladiator @TonyAE86 @Findmartin

Love seeing new things like this. Nice to pop in and see how you're doing - let me know how it helps the motivation finding the time to write up how you got on each workout 👍

First one of the year - let's see a good turn out FGFC! Monday Night Football - FIFA 21 Pro Clubs - FGFC N.B. If viewing this via the FG App, please visit the Calendar event via browser to RSVP. Thanks.

An impromptu evening of GT Sport on an FG Friday which was not expected but gratefully received! Without @JBR-Kiwi , @Greboth had a slightly easier night of it in the main although i'd like to think the gap is closing ever so slightly from the chasing pack. What's great to see is that the whole pack are becoming ever closer in timings which means we are gonna have even more tighter racing. I think it will also end in a lot of 'Sorry's' and balls up for sure. I think last night showed @phil bottle is just seriously unlucky of late with the amount of times he got bashed off the track 🙈🤣 The gap on qualifying between first and last is now starting to become less than 10 seconds for everyone and whilst that can still feel a lot, many races will involve penalties, racing incidents, cock ups and then tyre degradation and pit stop fuelling so lots still can happen. I think Paul @slamminbones made some huge strides in his timings last night, especially the second race, alongside newcomer @Stretch616 that had speed right from the start. Matty @Misneach_ pulled a few good lap times out before he had to go and I think the luck for @phil bottle started to change from the first race to the second; a sixth out of 10 for the first race but second out of 6 in the last race and not far off @Greboth for a few good laps. Being away on holiday meant I was a little distracted in the first race which meant I dropped back to 9th I think at one stage due to the first corner on Monza. Lots of late breaking caused Phil to be sent off the track, with @Mikepjbell showing his 'Usual Suspects' efforts losing all control of the first chicane. Stretch and Matty came unscathed chasing after Greebs but as the laps went on the time gap stretched with a few minor errors coming in. Stretch lost it on too wide and allowed me to get through on a later lap which caused his car to swing out into the sand. Mike managed to also skip the chicane, and only get a 4.5 second penalty which shoved him into second 🤣 . I couldn't catch him after making my way through the pack. Meanwhile Stretchy took Matty on the line based on his penalty with Tom @LordBaguette , Tony @TonyAE86 and Paul @slamminbones continuing to get to grips with the race pace and Gr.4. 2nd race was a real good learner for us all, with Greebs way out ahead but it was nice to give everyone to time to understand how to get the best out of the Audi TT on a fairly simple track. Tom @LordBaguette started to really get some race pace by the end of the night, whilst Stretch looked yet again fast. I had a 'Willow Springs' moment where my Qualifying was solid and super close to Greebs (0.3 seconds) but I was unable to turn into the race where I probably gave everyone too much respect as literally everyone went screaming into the first corner. I fought back to be right behind Phil but I had a go on the outside of one of the final corners and probably should've shown abit more aggression to take an inside line. All in all a great night again and I think with a bunch of people missing and also new people to join in on GT Sport FG races, we could be looking at a near full FG race night!! GGFG

I now expect to see by April, @TonyAE86 leading the standings...either that or the same picture will have a massive gaping hole in that desk from all the rage 🤣🤣

Thanks @Spacedeck . Actually looks like a variation of the free MMO games you see. Could be worth a dabble if you have time to invest in it.

I remember those days too mate 🤣 I used to read Gamesmaster back in the day and would love to get into them again, however I think its been pointed out the adverts take up most space but more importantly I suppose I went there for new insightful bits and bobs e.g. Guides, new games, new bits, etc which is now on big t'internet these days. I actually think places like ours here does a better job of getting things across too because it feels more real whereas places like IGN sometimes feel way too forced, which then you lose that originality on why you loved it in the first place. Are there any Magazines in the gaming world still worth a punt? I think I'd go for physical copies if there is one worthwhile.

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.
