Man, I hate getting old. For the first time in my life i'm having to far more conscious on how much food, more specifically rubbish sugary food, than ever before. I've never had to do this ever in my life and it is the most boring thing for me to do. I eat because I have to. Don't get me wrong I love good food but it isn't what I think about everyday. Are any of you people having to get a routine going and is there any techniques I can use on how to get rid of the temptation for chocolate and sweets or even just anything unhealthy at random times through the day? I have to get my weight down, i'm not heavy by any stretch but this is the heaviest i've ever been and the unfittest also. Any decent easy healthy food thoughts wouldn't go a miss either.

Watched a ton of movies over the Christmas break. Ace Ventura (both movies) - 'Like A Glove!' 😂 Man, these are classic. I can't get over how the slapstick Jim Carrey performs in them still cracks me up. Some of the jokes though...really wouldn't fly if it was released today. Se7en - Ages well, Freeman plays a great cop whereas Brad Pitt just annoys me in it. Kevin Spacey is such a good baddie too. Avengers Infinity War - First time watching again since the cinema. Just as good as the first watch. Some of the scenes with Thanos kicking ass is gutwrenching yet you want it to carry for as long as humanly posssible. Why does it have to be so long to wait for the next film and Captain Marvel?! Pacific Rim Uprising - Now, I know the first film isn't a great film for most but for me, I loved the action in it and the Jaegers were just something I've always loved. Unfortunately the sequel is really bad and doesn't really do the first film any justice. Things in the film should matter and you just don't care one bit. I can't believe a film that the Japanese admire so much could have such bad storyline connections in it. Gutted. Then there was....Ready Player One. My god. For a gaming nerd, that loves Spielberg and CGI style movies, this one by a clear crystal mile goes into my top 3 films ever. The story is beautifully crafted, the characters are memorable and its like doing one of your most enjoyable Quests from your favourite game. For a gamer at heart, you have to watch this ASAP.

This is the biggest news for quite a while to come out of Destiny. Massive implications, and I am being very positive about the future of Destiny after this statement being released. OUR DESTINY 0h - Destiny Dev Team When we first launched our partnership with Activision in 2010, the gaming industry was in a pretty different place. As an independent studio setting out to build a brand new experience, we wanted a partner willing to take a big leap of faith with us. We had a vision for Destiny that we believed in, but to launch a game of that magnitude, we needed the support of an established publishing partner. With Activision, we created something special. To date, Destiny has delivered a combination of over 50 million games and expansions to players all around the world. More importantly, we’ve also witnessed a remarkable community – tens of millions of Guardians strong – rise up and embrace Destiny, to play together, to make and share memories, and even to do truly great things that reach far beyond the game we share, to deliver a positive impact on people’s everyday lives. We have enjoyed a successful eight-year run and would like to thank Activision for their partnership on Destiny. Looking ahead, we’re excited to announce plans for Activision to transfer publishing rights for Destiny to Bungie. With our remarkable Destiny community, we are ready to publish on our own, while Activision will increase their focus on owned IP projects. The planned transition process is already underway in its early stages, with Bungie and Activision both committed to making sure the handoff is as seamless as possible. With Forsaken, we’ve learned, and listened, and leaned in to what we believe our players want from a great Destiny experience. Rest assured there is more of that on the way. We’ll continue to deliver on the existing Destiny roadmap, and we’re looking forward to releasing more seasonal experiences in the coming months, as well as surprising our community with some exciting announcements about what lies beyond. Thank you so much for your continued support. Our success is owed in no small part to the incredible community of players who have graced our worlds with light and life. We know self-publishing won’t be easy; there’s still much for us to learn as we grow as an independent, global studio, but we see unbounded opportunities and potential in Destiny. We know that new adventures await us all on new worlds filled with mystery, adventure, and hope. We hope you’ll join us there. See you starside. BUNGiE

I may not be on Destiny Monday but if I am it'd be better to do your weekly updates Steffen considering reset is Tuesday.

I took a pot shot at the name, its more likely to be Dave. However, now thinking about it, we should call another one Pyjamas...

His name is Mike.

Glad to see you here @UpZz_o!! Are you into any other games then Steffen? I know certainly from some of the other Destiny folk it's been great to hear you've helped them through a number of activities already! Take a look around and make sure yourself at home. Great to have another addition to the FG family 👍 Lee

My opinion: Positives Great that they can decouple this so quickly and respond yet again in a snap to feedback Negatives A ghost and an emblem for something that is freaking difficult to crack doesn't seem the right rewards Whilst responding and changing the game so quickly is great, you can't keep making the initial mistake

Just got the update from Bungie website: Today, at 2PM Pacific Time, the Bergusia Forge will be unlocked for all players who own the Annual Pass. While coming together as a community to solve puzzles can be fun, setting this puzzle up as a gate between you and new content that you want to play has not been an ideal experience. As such, we will be decoupling the puzzle from the final offering of the Black Armory. All Annual Pass owners will be able to experience the Bergusia Forge when the puzzle is solved or when the deadline expires - whichever happens first. We realize that many of you have been working hard to solve the puzzle of the Niobe Labs. Whatever the outcome, it will remain open for Annual Pass owners who still want to test their problem solving skills. There is a Ghost and an Emblem to earn as evidence that you completed the challenge. We love trying new things with Destiny, but we’re also flexible enough to pivot when you point out room for improvement. We’ll continue to monitor the conversation about this event and learn from your feedback as we create future content releases. Thanks for playing. Enjoy the final forge.

Someone done it Chad?!

Don't worry. Stretch and myself were stuck on trying to see the whole screen on our Tv's so couldn't see half the indicators! 😂

Couldn't agree more. Although, my positive side says I frickin hope we could get something still as an appreciation to when you complete Niobe Labs, since it is replayable. Just hope it's not one of those moments when they had a really great new Public Event on Mercury only for 2 Tokens and a Blue engram meme to stick forever. Has anyone tried any parts? I know @reaper-2201 and @Bluebear we're trying certain parts last night.

New Event is up. January 8th - January 21st. Looks like by playing specific activities and winning matches across quickplay and competitive means you can obtain new skin and sprays for Ana. Really neat idea and it feels like a test in the water for different challenges on how to keep Overwatch relevant and a game income back to. I may give it a go as I do enjoy playing Ana. Thoughts? Anyone tried it yet?

So, yesterday was the first day of a new content event, if you can call it that. Many expected to jump into some type of different missions and maybe an element of problem solving to finally unlock the 4th hidden Forge. Bungie came out to say the following tweet. The overwhelming response to this over the last 24 hours is a somewhat mixed response to say the least, and I understandably agree why. The picture below just shows you how much of this puzzle is a huge positive to all the Raid Secrets Guardians out there that have buckets of time on their hands. To everyone else, there wasn't much stuff to really be able to do. No gun fights or boss mechanics (so far) to beat. I suppose it swings in roundabouts - content was unlocked when the first people completed the Last Wish Raid. They had to be the highly skilled ones, however everyone could at least get into the game and feel like they were trying to beat it and learn mechanics for later attempts. This is an utter mind blow of a puzzle so I fear the longer this goes on, the majority of Destiny's community will feel like it's another dry, new content day release. I get that. If I didn't have my milestones and objectives to do with other stuff then I'd feel 100% the same nothingness feel. I really REALLY hope the forge that is eventually unlocked is well worth the wait.

It feels more closer to Warframe than Destiny. They've said it wants to allow you not be always about guns so abilities can be essentially spammed on certain build types. Good in one sense but I kind of feel it's trying too hard to be something it isn't. A little like Destiny can feel sometimes. Far better in a party where attacks can be co-ordinated.

Can not wait for this. I love how they've done this remake.

Thanks to @Kemp210 last night to help me catch up a little and nearly do all the steps to unlock the third forge. I enjoyed doing the steps and it helps with someone knowing how to run through in the most efficient way. After some time off games due to Xmas and holidays, it was nice to get back into it - I did feel overwhelmed by a lot of the stuff going on. How is everyone else that is still playing Destiny going? I'd like to set up some raid times now I'm back too. Don't care which, just enjoyable to run a few as we didn't get that chance over Xmas which I expected us to have. I'll put up my thoughts about Niobe Labs in a separate thread.

Well. I'd like to thank you all in participating in the laughing at Lee moments. I've got to say I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Let me rephrase actually. I was delighted to be caught in a loop of being thirsty, then getting too cold, then starving to death, finding 7 berries, then thirsty and dying again, then getting attacked and dying from a little rat dino, then starving again... And that was all before I thought a dead Diddums was a jellyfish. Ffs.

Hi All, We've had a fantastic year in 2018 and whilst we've managed to achieve a lot of things this year, I can't deny its been a hard slog. Thank you to every single one of you that has been a continued support, this place really wouldn't exist if you all didn't contribute and enjoy being a part of this place. With a new year starting, there are many things that people have asked for and at the same time there's been many changes I'd love to see but life has a funny way of getting in the way of these things (plus, my brain can only stay active so long into the night). This is also coupled with regular people wanting to keep the support going and chip in to play more of a role in making FG something bigger, better and greater for all of us. This is something i've been wanting to do for some time and its great we can now do this. We'll now have a team of people that deserve to be called admins that will help make changes and drive things forward alongside myself. @crispymorgan, @tronic44 and @phil bottle will become new admins with immediate effect. I think all the regulars know these guys and they are all very much deserving FGers that will get this place continually moving in the right direction. I'm also delighted to say that @Diddums is going to play much more of a role going forward too, just like the good old days, which i'm extremely happy about Does this mean what I've been doing over the past few years will change? Not at all. In fact I think things will significantly get even better because with a team of people that are FG through and through, you will see new features, content, people...everything. I won't ever give up on this place and neither should anyone else. Our home is here to stay. There'll be more specifics on what things we can plan to change and make better here coming over the next few weeks. For now though, I hope you can support me by saying well done and a massive thank you to the guys stepping up and becoming part of the Admin FG Team. GGFG

Here's the first look at it. Seems to look more like a PC Tower to me.....

We're clearly doing this wrong. I'll set up an account for Michael Jackson later. With a silver glittery glove as my avatar.

Oh, that's easy then. Can you reassign the original button? Or will that screw up the bind?

The beta starts today and details will be revealed for this game as part if the livestream later today. It seems to be evolution of Little Big Planet so you can create your own game within the game itself. I've found the gameplay from E3 that looks pretty neat. Not sure what to make of it as the concept always sounds amazing but I never was ever enthused about Little Big Planet. Anyone wanting to try the beta?

I don't feel the same way about Blops 4 price unfortunately mate. I played campaigns before I met you guys. Now I never touch them and don't care for them. Once they did the Modern Warfare storyline and ended it, nothing compares to that for me. Slight derail, but is it just the amount of maps and campaign that make you feel shortchanged? If the gunplay is good, which it is, and there's plenty of challenges to go after I'm not sure what else I want from an FPS. I can't make that comparison, sorry James. Warfare has a different business model so if rather be annoyed about it for Robs reason regarding game-changing microtransactions.
