Event Title: FG GTA Friday! Event Author: GazzaGarratt Calendar: Community Calendar Event Date: 10/12/2018 08:00 PM to 10/12/2018 10:00 PM FG GTA Fridays has moved to a fortnightly epidose of shenanigans and catastrophe! I'm thinking we could try some car target matches if we have even numbers, or we can play the Rockstar verified selection with a NASCAR thrown in for fun! Make sure you RSVP if you can or can't make it! FG GTA Friday! N.B. If viewing this via the FG App, please visit the Calendar event via browser to RSVP. Thanks.

Welcome Gaz! Glad you made it here. Great bunch of people here, hopefully we can get some games in over the next few months [emoji106] Is it just Destiny you play or other games tickle your fancy? Hope you enjoy your stay at FG mate.

Jordie!! How is real world life going for you?! there's never any pressure to be super active buddy, just glad you're alive and well [emoji16] We'll always be here to brighten your day [emoji41] RDR2 looks great and if it gives us some more lolz like GTA FG Fridays then happy days. Did you ever pick up your footy again?

I'm with Bob on the Kalli one, I don't think we'll ever do it that way anyway. Riven is an interesting one though. They have said they are looking into the 'cheese' and debating on whether or not it spoils the experience. From what I've seen I'd probably like to see it changed I think. Its sort of means the whole final phase of the boss which was originally intended to be the main but just never happens.

Well I think you know why the second option has a vote so far I did write about this when we had a blog as its something i'm quite passionate about. I think it boils down to the facts of practicalities so I do understand why people go for Digital and also why the only reason most of you still buy Physical because of 1) Price and 2) resaleability. I think I just have some hereditary traits in me, like hoarding/collecting things and some principles that stick with me. I love the aesthetics of buying physical games although now they don't even give manuals for most games which is disappointing. For some reason my brain doesn't feel attached to Digital games as much as they don't feel 'real' - its probably why I am more inclined to play console over PC maybe. Maybe not relevant for newer games but for older games I think the argument is there more in my favour. They came fully complete with no Day One patch and they hands down beat emulators for feel and aesthetics, with original graphics and controllers. Nothing beats blowing the cartridge, sticking Wiz n Liz in and playing some levels like the old days with your mates.

Fortnite have recently added the following new features: ☆ Quadlauncher ☆ Disco Domination Limited Time Mode ☆ Skull Trooper Skins The Quadlauncher looks like a good addition imo. Not gamebreaking but a change up to regular rocket launchers Disco mode sounds like a good laugh and promising although I'm really not sure it has any longevity after a couple of games. Skull Trooper Skins come back from last year but you can now colour the bones in different colours. Decent update overall. I still enjoy how there content release works as there's continually new stuff to look at and always slightly varied. Also good to see they aren't scared of trying something and then pulling it out if it doesn't work.

The cooperative Junkenstein’s Revenge four-player mode returns in much the same shape, still having select heroes battling against waves of spookies. This year, Brigitte and Tracer are added to the pool of playable ghostbusters. Starts Today and ends October 31st. Lots more skins available which has become the main reason for the event. I'm really not sure that just keeping the same event and not changing it works for the 3rd year running. I think they really could've worked on fleshing out a new PvE map for it or another PvE Halloween mission of some kind. You need to be enticed to come back for more than just skins. However, some of these do look tasty. Love the Soldier "Jason" one! 'Banshee' Moira - Legendary 'Enchanted Armor' Pharah - Legendary 'Bride' Sombra - Legendary Undead McCree - Epic Spider Widowmaker - Epic Swamp Monster Doomfist - Legendary Jack-O'-Lantern Wrecking Ball - Legendary Slasher: 76 - Legendary Pumpkin Mei - Epic

This trailer just shows how much backing there is for the game. The amount of well-known actors and actresses in this is impressive. I'm really looking forward to when this game finally gets there. What's not to love about Gary Oldman?! Even the enemies look impressive.

Not sure how I got on to this but I enjoy the tune behind the vocals.

Hopefully everyone saw the clan Triumph yesterday - Well done all for maxing put the Clan Banner features!

Xbox beta players get to try to this weekend. I'll cast an eye over it although it needs to be mindblowingly good to beat Red Dead Redemption 2 out of the way.

Lol, that Cat Ghost. The fact it has sticky tape is hilarious and shouts NEED ME. I'm looking forward to the variants of bounties it will bring. It's only here for 3 weeks so I'd like to get the most of out of it, especially as its free and being a magpie, I'm likely to want the Triumphs on offer too. We'll have to see what this Forest is about. It sounds like a 15-minute horde mode. Good break from different stuff but I think it's only out for 3 weeks for a reason. I'd be interested to see if it can be reused though. Would hate good fun content we all enjoy to not be available ever again. I want that gun too! If there's only one gun on offer (still more than other free events) then you'd expect it to be a pretty decent gun!

Finally. Long time coming for people, especially Cepheus-X eh @crispymorgan? Would be funny to know what people would actually change their names to if they had the chance. Also, people randomly talked earlier about sticking an FG suffix in front of there names....would this actually be a thing these days? Genuine question - would we really do this? I'd do if people wanted to do it but I'm gonna come out nice and early and say this wouldn't ever be a 'requirement of FG'. May look cool, may look kinda funny. Definitely better than NWO though Euan @Chookes?

Festival of the Lost begins for all players of Destiny 2 on Tuesday, October 16. “I’ll be damned if we’re gonna sit around and mope all day—Cayde woulda hated that. So let’s have some fun, huh? Put on this mask, and go show the bad guys they can’t keep us down.” —Amanda Holliday For Guardians, death is usually a temporary condition, no more dangerous than a splinter and forgotten just as quickly. Even after Eva Levante first brought the City’s traditions to the Tower with Festival of the Lost, it was less a time for remembrance and more of an irreverent celebration. The last year has changed everything. The Red Legion razed the Last City. Countless Guardians were lost. Despite victories on Mercury and Mars, morale in the Tower is low after the fall of a legend: Cayde-6. This year, death has not passed us by. It has come to stay. More than ever, it’s important to remember loved ones who have fallen, and to celebrate the fact that we have lived to fight on in their honor. Light in the Dark No one has heard from Eva Levante since the City fell. Shipwright Amanda Holliday has stepped up to raise everyone’s spirits. Thanks to her, the Tower is filled with merriment, as memories good and bittersweet fill our hearts. New Triumphs will be available for you to earn, and Holliday will offer daily bounties that award Fragmented Souls. These items can be used to purchase Festival of the Lost masks, as well as the Horror Story Legendary Auto Rifle. But even with the Tower illuminated by spooky violet candles, there's always something scary lurking just out of sight. Fear and Fright This year, Festival of the Lost brings more than just masks. For a limited time, all players of Destiny 2 are invited to the Haunted Forest. Guardians have been tasked with clearing out its ghouls and demons, which are spooking up a storm. You’ll have 15 minutes to dive as deep as you can into the Haunted Forest and clear out the Nightmares lying in wait. Be wary—the deeper you go, the more difficult your job will become. You can jump into the dark as a solo player, with a pre-made fireteam, or through matchmaking to join other Guardians in the fight. On the Case Most players of Forsaken have already won justice for Cayde-6. But near the conclusion of Festival of the Lost, they'll be called once again to avenge a fallen friend. Master Ives has been struck down. Maybe someone wanted to settle an old score, or lost their temper when receiving an Edge Transit. Whatever provoked the wrongdoing, justice must be served. This pursuit of Master Ives' killers will take place through a quest line, which adds an additional powerful reward for you to earn each week. The hunt begins on Tuesday, October 30. Treats for All Alongside the Festival of the Lost rewards from Amanda Holliday and the Festival of the Lost Triumphs, players will earn an Ephemeral Engram every time they fill their XP bar after achieving the max character level. Players will receive this engram in addition to the Steadfast Engram, which effectively awards players double Bright Engrams for the duration of Festival of the Lost. Players may also purchase Ephemeral Engrams from Tess Everis in the Tower, if they so choose. Tess will also feature rewards from the Ephemeral Engram on the Bright Dust store throughout the event, for those wishing to purchase specific items directly. Every Guardian is invited to shoot their way through the masquerade. Festival of the Lost begins on Tuesday, October 16, and concludes at 10 AM PST on Tuesday, November 6.

Not at launch but when funds become available. We know we'd have fun on it here.

Yes mate. Send me a message when you're on. I should be on both nights. I want to start farming Nightfalls for unique loot soon anyway.

Golden and Retro my dear [emoji39] Like a fine wine.

I can fully breathe around my beautiful array of CDs and Cartridges [emoji847] That's the real issue with Digital anyway, you pay more for a copy that is made of thin air when the shiny packaging and box with CD comes to you cheap as chips. People like collecting Vases, Pictures and Cat Statues. I like collecting games. I can then use said game in my consoles. Definitely more value for money for me. I think we're nearly at the stage where Day One to play is actually Day Two. Good job I'll be looking to purchase later down the line, hopefully this year though.

Lolz. I purposely left you out to see how long it would take you to realise this! [emoji23][emoji23] You didn't have a choice, it's PvP, so you'll play regardless [emoji39][emoji8]

Good to hear so far then! I just don't think we do a lot of private/custom stuff in recent years and we really should. It's the balance between having time to progress your own Guardian with just having a night of pure fun and banter. I think we could make a good few teams up and as long as people are up for a good laugh and not too sweaty this would totally work. Need to check if you can restrict to specific guns, etc.

Morning all. Just a little note out there to say keep the ideas coming in if you have any. I plan to add sections and do a general clean up this week as its been a while.

LOL. You did Mourinho a favour there mate! Honestly, they need to rebuild the state of the club and so it needs to show some morals of sorts. Even if it's not Mourinho, they need to give a manager 3-4 years at least.

Still not sure what's happened. Says McGregor lost but then people saying the other guy has been DQ'd?

A PvPvE one would be pretty cool. I'd look forward to that but equally whenever you say it's ready, we can book some time in to go hunting.
