Well..super late but as no one has posted it yet. Heres week commencing 30th July's reset. Solstice of Heroes is up and available to play. Glows are available from Eververse to buy directly or with Bright Dust

Money wise i'm just pausing for a little but before anything is purchased. I'll bend the wife's ear though in the event she wants to be really nice and buy me a present cos she thinks i'm worthy of one 😂

Not gonna deny that i'd absolutely love to do this. I miss the days of scouring the transfer market and sending scouts out to find those gems on a free.

As its that season and most people have IRL stuff and holidays to go on I thought it would be cool to ask where is everyone going this year and what they are looking forward to with the family/friends for the rest of 2019 - Clearly apart from the mahoosive bestest FG meet up in October 😎 I'll start - I have just over 2 weeks off in August so we're taking the kids to Fuerteventura for a week in the middle and linking up with the wife's family that are going for 2 weeks. Looking forward to a lot this year to get a welcome break from working, etc but also having time either side of it so we don't have to go straight back to work is a big win for me. We're also going away for a weekend for Dax's birthday in November to this awesome find by Hayley: The Tower Friskney at RAF Wainfleet | Quirky Accommodation WWW.CONTROL-TOWER.CO.UK Looking to stay at and old RAF base with Dambuster history? Then look no further than staying at The Tower at RAF Wainfleet! We're staying in the Control Tower and we've asked Hayley's sisters family in the Hurricane building that has the hot tub too. It means we could ask them to have the Helicopter there for the weekend at no extra cost which looks incredible for a little chillout zone! Gonna take a few games and the Switch so we can try and have some lolz along the way. Whats yours?

England squad for first Ashes Test: Joe Root (capt) Moeen Ali James Anderson Jofra Archer Jonny Bairstow (wk) Stuart Broad Rory Burns Jos Buttler (wk) Sam Curran Joe Denly Jason Roy Ben Stokes Olly Stone Chris Woakes In steps Archer and Roy after the awesome World Cup win a few weeks back. I think they had no choice but to pick him. Hopefully, he'll be abit like Brett Lee when he burst on to the scene with over 90mph deliveries. As much as Bairstow has been the mainstay at Wicketkeeper, he just isn't consistent enough for me. I'd rather give Buttler a try behind the sticks although both are better batsman than WK. Sam Curran is likely to miss out even though he is a promising bowler. Woakes has really got into the groove for England now and I can't see how he can miss an Ashes game since his wicket taking average has come down a hell of a lot over the past few years. Woakes, Broad and Archer are a force to be reckoned with. Definitely thinking we won't see any draws with both sides likely to be more attacking when batting. I think it will be a tight one this year, first for a while. A 3-2 win overall for England is my prediction.

Australia are the current holders after a 4-0 victory at home in 2017-18. The Ashes 2019 Schedule: Aug 01, Thu - Aug 05, MonEngland vs Australia, 1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham Aug 14, Wed - Aug 18, SunEngland vs Australia, 2nd Test, Lord's, London Aug 22, Thu - Aug 26, MonEngland vs Australia, 3rd Test, Headingley, Leeds Sep 04, Wed - Sep 08, SunEngland vs Australia, 4th Test, Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester Sep 12, Thu - Sep 16, MonEngland vs Australia, 5th Test, Kennington Oval, London

Oh totally there as it's never been denied as far as I can see on a quick search. I miss FIFA 95 on the mega drive.

Morning all. For a while now I know its a running joke when I say something about 'its on the website' and then the typical response is 'what, on the forum?'. Yep, you're right, it does show quite clearly we are mainly a forum but for ages I've been trying to show how much other fun stuff we have on here as well as being able to post up on the forums. Unfortunately, unless 'you know', then you're unlikely to check past the first page here. Equally, not everyone these days is up for posting a million and one things and if they do, they either kinda get missed or a good write up probably deserves a different space e.g. like a blog or article. So with that in mind, and we are into the summer holiday months, i'd like to try and bring a new landing page together. I want to know from you guys is there anything specific you really want to be prompted on for a front homepage? This can be as simple as 'Latest quizzes' or it could be more about 'give me the last 20 forum posts or 5 most popular topics currently'. They'll have to be stuff that i want to be more prominent so you know its there and we interact with those bits more but clearly want it to be tailored to what you wanna see. So.....what you think everybody? If you need inspiration, check out all the menus on FG. There's about 15/20 things in there that you probably just didn't know we had. P.S. I'm thinking about a tutorial for each addition too, just so anybody can at least understand the basics of its interaction. Let me know if this helps too.

Shucker, if you're around tonight or tomorrow we'll dip out of Iron Banner to get it done.

Been tempted for well over a year now to get it on the Switch. Problem is I think I could end up like Phil...its all @Findmartin and me did when we grew up! Leeds, Robbie Keane and Michael Bridges on Champ Manager destroying every club and Keane scoring over 100 goals was such a highlight. Now I need to find this game! @Dan94, it isn't too highly technical is it? I think CM went down the pan somewhat when you had to spend 24 hours setting up the whole squads training even just to get to a game.

co-op is totally a selling point and it'd swing me if you think it was worth it to dip into that mode. Problem is, after playing New Order, you then feel spoiled somewhat for such an amazing FPS shooter. Would love to have that as a co-op one.

Thats what I first thought, can't deny it was a little bit funny watching him rip an arsehole out of him.

Wasn't there a 'momentum' factor they put into the game a few years back now? I remember it years back when I dabbled in a bit of Pro Clubs. I wouldn't even be surprise if it was on games like Overwatch too....

Really disappointing to see. If he hadn't gone to Real Madrid on a stonking good contract maybe I could a tiny bit understand as its his job so he wants the most before he retires but @Dan94 is spot on - unless he wants to buy a country when he retires that is.

No I haven't. I actually don't think BO4 is in a bad place, just all the talk of microtransactions is the worst part. The actual game isn't that bad. As with any CoD, its about how much content is there for us to group up. Prop Hunt was really good back when we played this regularly. Its just a shame that I think the max party number was set as something like 8 which isn't ideal for FG gaming nights.

SkillUp has also trashed the game as well. Shame the gunplay has been somewhat changed from what I can see. You're making me think I'll go back and finish the Platinum on PS4. It was so good to complete I think it's only a few collectables I need on hardest difficulty.

Can you use the in game money you've already got to enter it initially or is it a real money entrance fee all the time. I think I seen @fg_cal get a pretty decent car through it so far.

Yep, I am and I've been meaning to get this Seal titles done in forever. It's only this week that Double and Triple Valor on Crucible. As I say, if i have the chance I'll pop on. I haven't heard your lovely dulcet tones for a while 😘

If we need a whole night then are you all around about Thursday evening? I guess I'm gonna have to update the game again too so I'll do that tonight.

Lol. Ironically I never read reddit. Like ever. So at least I'll have no influencing voices on there. Re:Hopper. I'm not sure mate as I'll have to watch it again but I'm sure there's a electric spinning force field that pops up at that pivotal moment so he can't get back? My view is that if you buy into the 80s wacky vibe the program has had since the start, you know that dont try to explain everything that happens and I'm cool with that. I think if it was in any other era and had a more serious tone then it should explain some things further. I mean, I'd argue Eleven's powers haven't really been properly explained thoroughly for my liking but that's okay. I think some bits need to be a little open-ended.

Is there any of that stuff that a person can earn through in game currency or loot boxes?

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole if series 3. Managed to watch it across 2 days. As we talked in my PPR, I think because you could binge watch it, I didnt get that slow build up feeling in the first 3 episodes - maybe the same could've happened to GoT because all you do is over analyse one episode until you can watch the next one. Overall, the soundtrack was unbelievable again, the surroundings and cliches they had as it was 1984 was just mindblowingly accurate. I was totally born in the wrong era to be able enjoy perms and colourful clothes. I did feel the Russian spin to it was quite far-fetched although it was around at the time. Ending was great, warmed to Hopper throughout the season whereas I didnt like him to start with as a raving alcoholic. As much as there may be a little cringe in tiny parts, they seem to balance heartpounding moments with great comedy. Didnt expect them to see Never Ending Story near the end. Cracked up to that. Nice twist with Hopper adding his own words to the letter to Elle too. Bonus points for that ending. Season 4 anybody? May be difficult to keep that up as the kids get older and we're already in 1984.

You gotta go back and get some pics cant believe you're that close to it. Hopefully they'll have left some random souvenirs by accident.

I'll check my emails again and see what's occurring tonight. I have to play my ass of in Iron Banner this week and Crucible to get 5 ranks up so if I can get on for an hour I will do 👍

I need Baryon Boughs and Etheric Spiral more than anything else, why cant there be a forge on Tangled Shore and Dreaming City?! I'll check my amounts of Datalattice and Dusklight Shards to see if i should do it. I know a number of you guys have been trying it which makes sense if you arent hurting anyone elses Forge run. It's only annoying when it says you're on and you're not! 😂
