And let everyone miss out on the glorious horde night XP and miss me fall off the top at 2am, onto a Spike, break my leg, again, and then got chomped up by Zombies and a zombie-infested, obsessed with Diddums Bear? That just wouldn't be cricket, would it 😎

Its the way forward and now we have bicycles we can share quests and get them done quickly. 3-4k XP is something you need to get yourself working on. It is still evening of Day 13 so a full day of prep before horde night left, I went to play on but because it was close i thought people might like a whole day of prepping. Abit like the calm before the storm. There's plenty of blocks to build to help branch out that base a lot more so its structurally sound and less chance it will all come down after a horde night attack.

Might be a good stream in hindsight.

Yeah, it was in the other thread @J4MES OX4D stuck up - i'm waiting for Sept 9th to see what the MP looks like, but we know trailers usually don't show major gameplay.

Another good ol' day at the office on the FG server. I've been cranking on up the XP ladder, upgrading blocks, digging and hammering for materials, and picking up as many Fetch and Buried Supply Quests as I can get my hands on. You all reallyshould get quests everytime you log on. Nearly 3,000 XP not to mention money earned, Zombies to kill around the objective and digging for Buried Supplies is even more XP. Managed to get my hands on a Claw Hammer and Duct Tape (thanks @tronic44) which meant we could now build a Workbench. I've also managed to build 2 Bicycles that Rich and I left at the top of the base for anyone that wants a trip out. Much, much easier to go on a scavenger hunt now. We've also built some more support for the overall structure so we shouldn't have any mishaps - well, when i'm not on anyway. I think it's coming along nicely. Also bought a Cash Register and a Munitions box from the trader so they're looking smart now. Rich has built out some Iron bars to help see out and shoot through on horde nights. Oh, and here's a lovely pic from the top looking at @Diddums house/bungalow, with some swanky red stakes to keep the nasty neighbours out. Oh, and in case you're wondering - the chairs? Well, you better ask Rich about that one...something tells me a favourite Cockney friend now has plenty of space to chill and hang out in their adjoining tower 🤣

Sold to Biron!

Yep. This right here.

I've tried to leave this thread unread because I wanted to give it some thought but I keep coming back round to just making the most of all the games I currently own and finding more time for all of them (somehow). So far I want to get much more into: DayZ - PC & PS4 (Our own FG server if poss) 7 Days to Die - PC (on our own FG Server) Green Hell - PC (co-op campaign) GT Sport - PS4 (FG Time trials) Assetto Corsa - PS4 (FG Time trials) Destiny 2 - PS4 & PC (Complete raids/challenges for FGers and myself. Plus triumphs. And dabble on PC setting more. Oh and DLC in Nov) Hunt Showdown - PS4 (More game nights on this. Prestige player at least once) Wreckfest - PS4 (Get enough Fame for new awesome cars. And platinum the game) FIFA 20 - PS4 (FG Pro Clubs evenings) CoD Warzone - (More grouping up and start to get into challenges more) XIII - PS4 (New release, remake of old xbox game I loved) And a million more games i'm sure but my brain won't think straight cos there's too many!

Yeah, i know you like Steel Series. I can't comment as i've never owned any of their accessories but they seem to have decent rep. Corsair or Logitech I would normally pump for on Keyboard and Mouse. Still debating on whether to change my Mouse to the logitech one below. Logitech Lightspeed Having said that, they seem to a much more affordable wireless mouse on Amazon right now, obviously not as good as the one above but still half decent: Logitech MX Master

@Greboth is your man. I haven't used a wheel in ages, I kinda like using controllers weirdly with racing games. Are you looking for just a wheel or the entire setup e.g. gear stick, pedals, etc?

It has the looks of L.A. Noire which I absolutely loved. So much so that even Hayley loved watching me play it but that was also down to the story/detective style gameplay. As a person thats never played it before, whats the story like? More like a GTA game or nearer to L.A. Noire detective gameplay?

I think i'll have to watch a few more videos, that was a good watch Rob, definitely can see that we'd have fun with it. I just need to understand the rules a little more. Part of me also thinks some people here would totally get this wrong and make a mess of it! 🙈🤣

Find some and make a new thread with some tips for me, you know you want to 😘 Its been literally years since i've played FIFA, the only thing I wished was they didn't put all that skill rubbish in it but its the sign of the times I suppose (sorry, I mean rattle the Right Analog stick any old way and hope it makes a good skill turn)

I'm now all of a sudden really interested in seeing if he can do well at another club. Just a shame hes doing this at such a late stage in his career. If he goes to China it'll be a travesty.

Yeah @Dan94 , I'm totally with @J4MES OX4D on this as i'm just not sure 4k is ultimately needed quite yet. 4k feels like this Ultra HD mode that Sky try to flog but if i'm honest we all don't get much benefit from it. I think we've had the biggest jump that our eyes could take from Standard graphics to Full HD. Also, you didn't get my subtle hint to clearly pick up a PC if you get a PC gaming monitor. You know it makes sense to have all of the things!

We've done a pretty good job of getting itr pretty much back to where it was within a 3-5 hours I reckon. @Diddums was back on getting his Steam achievements and killing bears. @crispymorgan and @Ajay alternated trying to also find more bears and kill them, dying in the process. @Greboth went on a trip with me to fetch a shared quest. I then subsequently died from a Warthog. How on earth those buggers can jump fences i'll never know. @phil bottle was on to steady the ship and make sure we had some more Iron smelting and the resources were on their way back up, although i'm not sure he's overly happy with me building a lovely walkway to his radio tower base 😬 He's just shy to unexpected visitors i'm sure. I'm pretty chuffed with all this, considering I broke my leg. Twice. Frustratingly the second time was 2 minutes left before I could be fully better. Did I mention I love this game 🙃 Hope you like the storage boxes Rachel @tronic44, no time lost whilst you've been lazy at work doing absolutely nothing as per usual 😉 I think the last box has your favourite things in it, waiting for you to build some engineering fantasmic stuff. We all hoped you like the chairs though too. We've nearly got enough to full surround the entire edges 🤣

I turn it on and its like i've said before, a super awesome MP game that we should def play together. However, whilst the max player group is set to 4(!) then its not much fun splitting up a larger group of us online and playing separately. We all want to see each other fall off a cliff! Still can't quite believe they haven't addressed it in any comments i've seen from them.

I must've stared at the boxes for way too long and burned the wood beneath them 👀

Yeah, this theme is a pretty good one as most places now expect a standard Light/Dark theme at the click of a button, hence the Moon option for everyone at the top menu. Slowly getting there with other things now, have to integrate each feature one by one in case something gets knocked out because of it. You'll also see graphics coming along as we're getting there. As said before, anything that jumps out at you please say here.

So....its been a while for an update for this hasn't it? So lets get one up as you'll love this (even though at the time I didn't 🙈😬) Rich has updated the server to the Alpha Experimental Update so its been good to see how some things have changed. We've started making a base and Rich did a lot of groundwork alongside Greebs and Phil to bring it along. Then came last night 🙈 I logged on after seeing Didds still on the case. Didds was making his little hut minding his own business whilst I was upstairs on the base where all the storage was. We had boxes full of resources, ammo, meds, food....well pretty much anything you could've hoped for really at the start. Schematics were there, as were new Pill boxes and fancy storage that Rich must've spent a whole night to carve and create. Anyways, I looked up at the nice promenade view that was there (think of it as an exquisite balcony, fit for only kings and queens that could get a vantage point to pop Zombies in the eyes) and next thing I knew a huge thunder sound happened and my life went into slow motion as I watched the ENTIRE base where all the storage and balcony set up just fell like a pack of cards to a slow painful death. I was speechless. Well, near enough speechless as I kept saying 'No, no, no, no!' Diddums on the other hand didn't hear a thing from below and was wondering what the hell I was panicking and ditraight about. And then he looked up.... I wish I had a picture before this. The base about 10-12 storage boxes the base was quite large. It was soul destroying. Even more so because Didds was laughing his ass off leaving me to feel sick for the entire night 🤣🤣 I could not believe it. It seemed as others cared for me as Phil and Crispy joined us later on....but nope. That was more to see the massacre that had happened and to jump in with the laughing at Lee moment FML 🙈 Fr the short time I was on after this, I went to grab a ton of resources so things could be rebuilt. Wood, Iron, Coal, Sulphate, etc. I managed to also do a few Treasure Quest supply runs which had some very much needed food supplies in them. I dumped all my stuff in one of the remaining chests that was close to the middle and the beds. One good thing I found with this update is that the Quests have been fleshed out a little with the treasure ones showing a map of overall surface it is in - a huge difference to what it is was previously so I really love that update. Anyways, what an eventful evening. Not gonna lie, Ifelt exhausted by the end of the night, trying to recuperate and calm down from all the drama. I only popped on to have a look at the base and eat some Eggs and Bacon. FML GGs all @tronic44 @Diddums @phil bottle @crispymorgan @Greboth

Oh man, absolutely was a blast. I've always wanted to do this for years but was hesitant as you never know how its gonna go. Glad we've managed to set it off now and what a start we had. We're already sitting one point away from the title with 3 games to go. Some epic plays last night. Diego 'Sebba' Forlan crashing the goals in, Tom scoring the 2 easiest goals in his life but looked like they could've missed, Pat 'Jordie' McGroin being an absolute unit in the middle whilst we all pissed ourselves laughing at his name most of the night, Phil's jinky runs down the wing setting up multiple goals...for us to all miss, and George's bullet goal, the first ever in the history of FG (not to mention every pass was like a bullet even if you were 2 yards away from him). I really think if we can keep meeting up at least once a week but if people are keen to meet then i'm down with that. Ultimately it doesn't need us all to be there, it just would be good if anyone plays games that come here and give everyone an update. If anyone else is on the fence and thinking about joining then they should give it a go! Honestly, proper good laughs and banter alongside some terrible/awesome football along the way. Seriously though, there was only one game we got hammered 3-0 so I think we did pretty darn well as for some its been the first FIFA games for years! GGFG all @ChaosGladiator @G_dub52 @phil bottle @jordie1892 @LordBaguette @GazzaGarratt

Happy birthday Tommy! @BO7H B4RRELS Hope you have a cracking day buddy! 🍺😎

So FYI - Why the site might change from its original colours to a bland default one with no logos, colours, etc is because that is recovery mode for us. I've managed to get our theme back for the time being however I now can't access Admin elements so it stops me from updating / fixing the site. It really is a PITA but i'm waiting on a support ticket to be answered. Hopefully they'll resolve it quickly.

Fuck me, we don't need another Diddums. One is enough thanks 😅
