Event Title: Monday Night Football - FIFA Pro Clubs - FGFC Event Author: GazzaGarratt Calendar: Community Calendar Event Date: 09/28/2020 08:00 PM FGFC, trying to survive in Division 7 and make a push for a promotion next season! Let's see a show of hands for tonight? Monday Night Football - FIFA Pro Clubs - FGFC N.B. If viewing this via the FG App, please visit the Calendar event via browser to RSVP. Thanks.

Luckily, with games like CoD about, we're all super elite Pros at downloading games the size of Scotland these days.

I feel like I've been on holiday with all those trips to find the promised desert land. Glad we now have one less resource to worry about. I've already been able to make it into stacks of Gas Cans (10k per can) only for 800 shale which means we shouldn't worry about this any longer. I think I can make steel armour @tronic44 and happy to make more transport, we'll need to keep getting those Bottles of Acid though! I'd love to see a garage at some point, was thinking about it yesterday too. I really want to build a base near the desert just so it starts the ball rolling getting mini bases in other places. GGs so far, these horde nights are already getting super hard!

Boing boing Baggies absolutely throwing away a decent chance at 3 valuable points. They just don't want to be in the premiership, do they?

The determination and stubborness of you trying to get out of a 17 mile deep hole was courageous (and bonkers) @Greboth. Couldn't believe you made it out before the end of the night. Good horde night on Friday. Shit tons of Zombies like last one but we were more on top of it this time. Nearly like a well-oiled machine. I only fell off once. Thank you Anna @craftofboredom for saving my bacon 🥓. I now have max Bartering skills with all the traders so can see their best loot they offer. Finally got to see Solar Banks and Solar Cells...but we might need more money to get the cells as they're c.40k each!! Btw, don't go West - I spent just over a day on the Motorcycle going as far as I could and found a huge Dead Zone with loads of lakes. I looped round, going slightly South too and it was still a shit ton of Dead Zone with it linking back to good ol' Green Hill Zone (hehe). I went about 9km West and South. Sooooooo..... I propose we gotta go South East and possibly East too. Apparently we're quite North on the overall map so might take a bike out tonight providing i find enough cars to Wrench on the way 🙈 NEEED ALL OF THE OIL SHALE IN THE DESERT 😬

I don't what to say to this other than...why Wrexham?? 😬 They look like utter dog food. Man Utd we're nearly just as bad but they ground out a wacky result with that penalty after full time 🤣 I'm loving this season so far. Its very VERY difficult not to get carried away with Blackburn so far. Its not just the fact we've battered Wycombe 5-0 and then 4-0 away at Derby (sorry Tom @LordBaguette ), its the performances that are reminding me very much of how we were in yesteryears Premiership. We could have won 10-0 today and it was all without our star Right Back (Nyambe), Midfielder (Travis) and Striker (Dack). I ain't sure how they'll get back in the team tbh! Lee's mind - "stay grounded Lee, its only a few games. its okay, it'll all go to shit in a few weeks. Calm down". I fucking love my club. 😄

Looks very Elder Scrolls Oblivion-esque doesn't it @J4MES OX4D ? Not sure where i'd find the time to play something like this!

@Diddums, there's just enough blunderbuss for you. 😬 And also some double pump action for @phil bottle 😎

So the first main/temporary base is coming along nicely and we had over a half a dozen of us on last night to get through the latest horde night which is quite epic. A first proper Horde night for Matty @Misneach_ and maybe the first correct way of doing a horde night for Dave @Plumbers Crack considering I took him through the last one and failed miserably, setting him on fire with about 4 Molotov Cocktails. Who knew he would light up so quickly in a small room underneath the base? Zombies GALORE it was and for the 5th horde night, its already getting rather tasty. Radiated ones are starting to appear and jump the entire base which is unreal to say the least. We seem better prepared this time though, as we've been gathering the relevant resources for bullets and creating really good platforms for food and transport for later mini base camps and loot runs. The current base looks like this. Just before i logged off last night, I created a Gyrocopter but more importantly a black leather sofa and TV because it needed a bit of life, me thought 😎 We also have one of the best starter garden we've ever had, courtesy of @tronic44 but also aided by @Plumbers Crack (no way keeping his green hands off this bit) So its coming along nicely. We have a little meet up tonight to see where we go to potentially start the main base and then whatever other camps we may need to get started on. The map remains to be a mystery too as no one has found any sign of a desert or other key parts we may need the resources from - looking at you Oil Shale. Hopefully the Gyrocopter will help everyone out. GGFG for the work so far people! @Plumbers Crack @tronic44 @phil bottle @crispymorgan @Greboth @craftofboredom @Misneach_ @Emma @Diddums

I'm not that in love and desperate you bar steward!! 🤣🤣

I'm with you. I'm very aprehensive about it all but one promising element about the direction to stay with Destiny 2 and not make a Destiny 3 is that the current version of the game is/has been getting technical updates behind the scenes - which will allow for better ways of development on missions and other updates as each season moves along. They're taking a hit now by removing legacy existing content on old code so the game can have proper longevity on multi-platforms and re-integrate the best bits so we all have a better flowing and evolving world. However, I think its easy for gamers to miss these bits because most won't give a shit about how the game is created and developed, they just want the content as soon as possible and all of the time. I wouldn't be surprised to see Destiny to be able to update their game nearly as frequently as Epic does with Fortnite (their updates don't happen as frequent now as they initially did due to overworking staff ridiculously). Many people here won't notice any of this btw, because if you've had a break for a while, you kinda don't likely care about those bits that are leaving to go sit in the DCV for a bit - so should be a positive overall.

I actually thought the Definitive edition was the Trilogy version?! That looks like a good deal on the PS4 @techno , I'll add this to the list of ones to grab potentially for crimbo.

Simples. Put it in your pocket. Yes, that's correct. 7 Days physics and logic all working in perfect order. Give it a go. Hold "E" and you have options, one is to pick it up (providing there is nothing in the storage). I should take a pic and share it on here really.

I'm glad you have Dave! Once you've played around with skills and created a few things, hopefully the game will just click. It'll help you're a Pro at Minecraft, unlike me 😁 I'm happy to if its stable and doesn't require any real effort from us all? Makes sense to be on the latest version that is stable but equally not if it cocks up anything we've already done or going to do. That's ace mate! Tbh, I was hoping it would be a surprise to see them up top 😁 Geniunely, you were way more productive than me. I just dug for Coal which got me my extra skill point to create the truck accessories and chassis to build one. Thought i'd chuck a Motorcycle in their because they are pretty cool and especially because a few people like to make solo trips to places. Make sure you check out the storage space on both - defnitely means you can do more and loot loads on your trips out and about.

Brill, i'll send you a PSN invite and we just need to find a night where we can get back into it again. I'm sure @ChaosGladiator and @Nutcuttlit can work out when they're on next (even though I know you guys have been sucked into PUBG!)

Me's have one too 😄 I'm similar to Rich apart from maybe an odd weekend morning when the kids are sitting with us for family games. Mario Tennis Aces - Good but some annoying controls which make it not like the standard tennis game. Super Smash Bros - Super game. After I unlocked all the characters it got a little stale though. One to play with friends. Super Bomberman - We played this at @Diddums house I recall! Super harder than expected tbh! Another just to play with friends. MarioKart 8 - No more words. You know this is a must have on a Switch Zelda BOTW - Looks amazing and feels incredible to play. Just over time I felt like Chad @Riff Machine above because of silly stuff like breakable weapons. Shame. Diablo 3 - Thoroghly enjoyable game. Its just a port from the Playstation version you might've played so worth the money. Can play Offline too so super for holidays and Plane trips Just Dance 2019 - Great for the kids (and a good laugh for yourselves aswell). Careful though, its a game they just get you on a subscription as not many songs in base game 51 Worldwide Games - Good little game for you both. Even has basic fun games like Ludo in it Splatoon 2 - Half decent but annoyingly you can only play co-op if you have 2 switches. Didn't know that before I bought it for Dax I'll have to find my Switch friend code and also add it as a Profile field so people can show them if they want to.

There was also a small rumour that went off the radar back in May about Microsoft using their name to sell the new Xbox in Japan - therefore calling it the Sega Series X. Its got a better ring to it for sure! 😁

The CEO has come out to say they ain't finished yet and there is tons of speculation about who is next. As the good old internet does what they do best, there is loads of connections to Sega in recent weeks too. I've pulled some pics from the tinternet to help your thoughts. If its not Sega, then theres always a chance of Capcom or Konami. Definitely feels like its more Sega though. Thoughts?

Welcome to FG, Jamie 😄 I can see you already had the delightful greeting by @Diddums already! As @Shucker and @tronic44 have said prior to my post, this place is really unique and a one of a kind gaming family. We'd love to get involved and stick around, one extra thing of note though... ...if you know how it works, its always nice to say hi and get involved in places before you want us to watch your stuff. I'm sure they are fantastic btw, but there's people hear that watch videos, follow streamers and even buy games purely because they value the opinions of other FGers here and the type of person they are - all based on getting involved and that trust has been built. I think you'll find Shucker was kindly helping you, so a reply like that won't go very far to help build trust up after a glorious start that you had with Didds 🙂 Hopefully we can get to watch them some day soon. Take a look around and get involved where you can. You might even find a whole Video section set aside from the Forum elements that in time could see future videos after getting to know us more. Enjoy your stay at FG mate 👍

It was role reversal of fortunes on Monday Night Football for FGFC, whilst we had a biggest turn out of the season so far with 7 of us playing for most of the night. Usually we get off to a poor start for about 5 games which wasn't the case at all as we shot out of the blocks with goals. Big bad Baz, Barry Ferguson @Glen11 changed his player up to be a massive target man alongside Forlan and boy it turned into a masterstoke as his nimble quick feet and 3 star weak left foot were banging the goals in 🤣😎 The spin and volley goal was unreal. Winning the first game 5-3, secured promotion and unfortunately we just couldn't turn the final game into a win after leading 1-0 (eventually losing 2-1) in our last game in Division 8. We were all feeling confident going into Division 7, after the passing and goals were already flowing nicely. However we were brought down with a bump as the opponents got a little tougher and we just started leaking goals pretty easily. We tried a 3-5-2 to start but we got opened up too much and moved quickly to the back 4 we were used to. We had a few bad games in the middle of the session, especially one where we all pushed the keeper to try and pass the ball out a 34 times which meant for some hilarious scrambling around and defending. Pat @jordie1892 McGroin trying to do his best in the m We managed to turn a couple of results around before the end of the night as we lost a few people to internet issues and shifts the next day but we are teetering on the brink of relegation if we can't bring it back next time online. Still, some amazing goals scored by everyone. Some ripper shots from 4 yards out that slowly passed the keeper too 🤣 Fingers crossed for better results next time but it was still such a good laugh, especially getting 7 of us on the pitch. GGFG all @G_dub52 @ChaosGladiator @jordie1892 @LordBaguette @Glen11 @Mikey

I thought last night's session and races were fantastic! Brands Hatch was the first race with @phil bottle @Greboth @Mikepjbell and myself - qualifying went better than the race for sure! The race started well with Mike and myself keeping Greebs at bay - or so we thought - as he was clearly waiting for us to make mistakes to power on through. Mike tried to make his tyres last longer than mine but we both found out the hard way we end up in the Gravel too much for our liking and with me pitting a few laps before him, his lap times just faded very quickly. I didn't manage the tyres and pits well at all so the usual response happened with Greebs 1st and Philly 2nd. When @JBR-Kiwi turned up though we decided to have another race but this time on Monza which was absolutely epic. What I really enjoyed was the 13 lap race and no restrictions on tyres so we all had to work out a strategy on what to do and also fill up petrol along the way. Kiwi was super quick at the start and Phil followed close behind him. I broke too late and hit make on Lap 2 which effectively meant me stopping to allow him past - losing around 10/12 seconds of time AND Greebs taking a place for free. With him on Medium tyres and the leaders on Super Soft there really was a big gap and we didn't know what would happen. Then it all started to unfold. Kiwi had a crash (2 in the end i believe), with Phil picking up huge time penalties for cuttting corners - 10 seconds in the end. Greebs picked Medium tyres again and was fighting Phil for the lead even though the penalty loomed over him. I decided to pit extremely late, started with Soft and went to Super Soft tyres with 3 laps to go which let me catch up Kiwi (his 2nd crash helped with that too). On the final straight Phil had to break at the finishing line to get rid of his penalty and I just could quite catch him. Shame as I was only a few seconds off him in the end, which was the result of a few badly taken corners. Mike had a struggle at the back after a few more crashes after regaining 4th early on. Still, a valiant effort after the first time being on the game for many months. GGs all, super racing properly and trying to learn all of this. Looking forward to the next one already!! @phil bottle @Greboth @Mikepjbell @JBR-Kiwi

As the November update comes ever closer, Bungie released the Europa Map and a page on Bungie.net with some extra info. The map of what Europa looks like has received positive feedback so far as most people believe it looks quite huge compared to other worlds in Destiny. Just seeing the map is starting to get me pumped again and the fact its a brand new planet is really exciting this time round. And the trailer they dropped builds on it too. VARIKS SEES MINES. YESSSSSSSSSSS? 😎 We've wondered when we'd see Variks next after he let out Uldren and the Barons in Forsaken, not sure if he'll be another vendor again or we've got to defeat him considering he clearly his on the bad side of us after being allies on the Reef in Destiny 1.

Yeah thats a great shout. They'll absolutely be seeing the key to making regular income moving forward is subscription based products.

I'd love to see more like this so at least the ATB way of playing can live on somehow. Things need to evolve and I understand that, its just a huge part of the history of FF I really can't see why they can't re-use something that has been so successful for them in their history.
