This is awesome @McNasty , such a great idea! Be good to see how you display them on your wall. I'm totally with @crispymorgan as I'd be Sega all the way. I think over here when I was growing up there was the GamesMaster Magazine that was pretty big at the time, even had a TV show! However, I also have some pretty sweet game info displays from the old Toys R Us that my cousin who was the Manager gave me. They've always be something i've wanted to get in a display like these, That might also be worthwhile searching for too! (i'll try and dig out some of them and share for you 🙂)

I haven't had chance of late to put up a bit of an update so its been ace reading the updates @Greboth and @tronic44. Its been nice to get on to the map and check it out. Definitely makes it different when the first two traders we've found are right in the centre of two large towns. I love the idea of having min camps/bases so we don't have to travel back and forth in the day as you lose so much time doing things like that. I've had some good nights so far like Greebs mentioned, with hordes (and I mean hordes!) of Zombies everywhere, even in the day. Having a base in a town certainly makes things a little interesting! Skills wise, I've continued to look at Advanced Engineering and Grease Monkey to enable us to get Bicycles and eventually some 4x4 trucks. It also gave us the chance to get a Workbench and we finally made a Chemistry Station 2 days ago once Rich found a Beaker. I'm going to keep focusing on that but also some bartering skills. I'd suggest someone looks at doing the same as the Quests and Traders can give HUGE loot gains, especially with books. Definitely need to think about a few things, not in any order: A huge main base for everyone Mini bases for each town/large section we find What types of things we need for bases What books people want/need to write What other skills could be really helpful for someone to have I definitely feel this time round this server map is for keeps for a long time. Its fecking huge and lots to explore and also learn too. We've all talked about new things that we might know of but never gave it a try so we really should start doing that. It'll help each other then as we learn new fancy things for all of the bases! Maybe a big party up night where we can all meet up and get a good start on a main base perhaps?

We'll have to check your friends list Pat, as you've been away for so long! I wouldn't read much into it as not many got chance to play it (I didn't either). There's actually quite a few playing MW still and I think that will continue. The impressions above make me still think that MW is likely to be one that could stay around for a little while longer if there hasn't been much progress in this CoD.

It definitely feels more like training matches cos the pressure is off from having no fans around.

Is this the best out of the lot for you, Chad? Let us know how it goes as interested to know if its worth a stab for this SP game with Christmas lists coming ever closer. Clearly everyone above says its worth it - if remade correctly.

In other news, we now have the new Messi! 😍 Tyrhys Dolan is the absolute real deal. Preston released him after completing in some of their youth setup - because they said he wasn't ready for first team football. God knows why, but we immediately signed him up on a contract and then he was straight into the first team squad. When he came on against Bournemouth in the first week I think everyone stood watching their streams in awe of the lad. He has super fast feet and he changes the pace of the entire game. He started the cup game against Newcastle and again vs Wycombe yesterday - and he was incredible to say the least. A 5-0 win yesterday and 3 performances that deserves wins means its been a hugely positive start for Rovers this time round!

They looked so poor as well. For me, they are missing a Viera type player. An older, far more experience hard nose that breaks the play up and gets them moving up the pitch. Different to others here, I like Maguire as a defender but Lindelof is just not up to scratch next to him. You need pairings like Ferdinand and Viduc as one of them on their own couldn't do the job effectively.

These are great updates @Spacedeck , don't ever apologise! Dont feel too embarrassed either about not completing Comix Zone yet as I'm sure I have it too but not started it yet 🙈 However, definitely gonna wipe the dust off it now! I've been thinking about grabbing the Retron of late, mainly because my Mega Drive won't play NA or JAP games but I still want the retro feel. Its 100% the right call getting controllers that suit the game era, you don't get to experience the full retro feel using a M&K at all, half the job is working out the controller buttons and combinations. Looking forward to reading some more soon Hazza!

WTF?!

No maybes now, just...

Oh absolutely fella! Its just annoying we have a bug with it at the moment cos it would be way easier how you did it. ffs, i think we all need to change it up so it messes with the opponents eyesight 🤣

I merged your topic Tom because James already put it up yesterday. I've also added an event up for everyone to see who might be around over the weekend for it too 👍

Event Title: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Alpha Event Author: GazzaGarratt Calendar: Community Calendar Event Date: 09/18/2020 06:00 PM to 09/20/2020 06:00 PM The PS4 Alpha is available to download now and across the entire weekend so let's see who will be about on it to give it some try outs and first impressions! Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Alpha N.B. If viewing this via the FG App, please visit the Calendar event via browser to RSVP. Thanks.

It will be just that. Sony removed the trailer that shown it was available for PC and relaunched it saying its a PS5 exclusive so expect it to be on PC 6/12 months later. It looks amazing though, I really hope it will feel as smooth as it looks. Definitely makes me think of Bloodborne and wishful thinking it can be on par or better than that.

I've had to remove the weekly update as there seems a bug with it and the RSVP feature (essentially it works the first week but then if different people make the second one you can't click anything). Thank you though bud! I think if we keep adding one each week, or at least a few in advance it'll keep it fresh in our minds to go for glory once again! Missed Fellaini throwing in the tackles this week!🤣

Great idea this was Philly, be good to do this again and make my thoughts my tactically next time...🤣

CoD Gameplay Campaign trailers never really get me hyped too but I don't think i'd be buying this one for the campaign anyway. If the MP is solid then people here will flock to the digital stores, as per usual.

Okay, awesome @JBR-Kiwi and @Mikepjbell . We'll aim for another week night next week me thinks, @phil bottle's idea of doing a weekly event and getting on whatever late night you can gets you working at the track and cars. Maybe for the actual race we could try Tuesday possibly? We'll put something up as an event so make sure you keep an eye out for it! @Greboth, standard mandatory acceptance is required 🤣

Wow. And I mean Wow. I usually get a whiff of something happening around this place as I'm usually speaking to most of you where I possibly have a minute free but genuinely didn't expect this to ever happen. I can't quite thank you all enough. For you all to do such a thing at such a hard time in life right now, its overwhelming really. All that's left to say is that I apologise for nudging/nagging/annoying your daily busy lives of late - I've always had a vision that FG can be there for shit like this more often, and help other people, especially FGers like you, that truly need it. I just never expected you guys do exactly that for me because you're all way more worthy people than myself. You take the time out to come here and that's has always been more than enough for me. GGFG ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I was out went the event popped up but first thing I was surprised about was the UK and the rest of Europe getting it one whole week later. It can only be Covid-19 thats made them do that, UK is a huge market for them to miss getting it here for an entire week. Unfortunately the event didn't say much about pre-orders. Initially people in the US were trying at GameStop whilst in the UK it wasnt clear until late that you can get it from Game. However pre-orders aren't available as 1am last night. So, where else? There are places. The disc version is available on Very. I haven't checked other places as mine is pre-ordered from there. Plus, something to note - there aren't any bundles with games anywhere just yet. Understandable to an extent as we all don't know what could be available in the shops! Anyone else grab a pre-order?

Absolutely Scott, currently @Nutcuttlit @J&B @ChaosGladiator @LordBaguette and @Misneach_ have played it quiet a bit whereas i'm pretty new to it as well so picking up every so often. Might be worth checking out the classes and seeing what you fancy? I'm Nutty will be able to give some very good pointers to help you understand what to do. I found it easier to get into than FF14 tbh.

Wowser dude, fair play! Makes me wonder though, is there a travel one you can get because I could see you having plenty of time on camping to do this kind of stuff!
