Anyone playing banner this week? I could do with increasing my 390 light a little more for raiding.

Nice vid @Diddums. I still need that friggin golden fast travel pack. I'm finding it slow to progress if you only have a spare 30-60 mins.

Its a 2 minute video in German but my oh my it looks damn good. I never played the original version much, just a demo but I can absolutely see how this could be very successful. Anyone else have nostalgia feels about this? Via the FG App

Thought I'd start a thread for cool little finds on the webz for all things that are real life game creations. To start, I found this amazing Zelda Spirit Orb someone has made from the Breadth of the Wild. Comes with and LED light too.

1 million units sold in 16 days. Early Access still as well. It looks really slick so I may need to watch some twitch streams. Apparently the are getting on average c.90,000 concurrent users playing this across PC. Via the FG App

Leaked trailer in French. Love the blue theme and I also like Genji's new skin shown.

Oh my fucking lordypops. I weed a little at the end of that. Via the FG App

In addition to a new gameplay mode, the Insurrection update will bring with it a batch of new skins for McCree, Genji, Widowmaker, Mercy, Torbjorn, Bastion and Orisa. Blizzard promises more than 100 unlockable items, including skins, sprays, emotes, and poses. The new gamemode has 4 main players and they all have matching team skins that really cool. Mercy, Reinhardt, Tracer and Tjorborn are the playable characters all in Team Overwatch colours and it looks like you relive a historical horde mode fight.

After having a great weekend with my best FG buds I think it was fitting to watch Guardians of the Galaxy for 732nd time. Via the FG App

Oh right, I must admit, playing a card game on console sounded a little weird but I'm glad it turned out okay. Is there many game modes on it?

Oh and I thought it was quite funny that they've not made the patch available for people who own pirate copies of Andromeda so they get to keep the weird looking eyes and speech.

How's that @PlasticGaming and @Diddums?

Happy to change it back tonight unless I can change it whilst at work on my phone. Via the FG App

Right Joy Con opinion If any of you have read this or going to, I really don't know what he's on about. You do not get pain after 10 minutes. He clearly holds controllers with his toes to get pain. Subtle changes to where the thumbsticks sit are key, I get that, but what I have found is that the whole structure of the joycons should be praised. Every button serves its purpose and keeps you thinking whilst not stopping you play your video games.

Wow. I mean fair play to the guy as they both must be avid gamers and they way he uses Symmetra and Soldier is pretty darn cool. I just couldn't do something like this. I think Hayley would've walked out on me!

I might be being stupid here but I don't see a logo behind the spinning image. Do you mean the banner?

@tronic44, @phil bottle can you help? Surely they wouldn't put it in the console version if you can't use it?

So we managed to try out the mechanics of multiplayers using Bomberman R from handheld to dock station with 4 players. The initial syncing of the new controllers took a while and then understanding how to make them to be used as 4 way. However, after a few minutes in the main menu we sorted it and it was job done. The screen resolution lost to the naked eye is really minimal. May be different on other games in the future. The additional sliding on of the controller extensions work really easily. As with anything new, taking them off again is a little stiff but they play and feel so good. And you can't buy the laughs you have with it. Mario kart 8 will be amazing on it for sure.

I'm happy to go back to the still logo. I'm not fussed either way. If it helps the performance then I'm cool with it. We can use the spinning logo on twitch and other things like that still.

Come on then ladies and gents, Control is back on next week so hopefully good drops should be a plenty too.

Xur is in the hangar this week at the Tower. - Legacy engram [Special weapon] – 31SC - Crest of Alpha Lupi [Exotic Titan chest armour] – 13SC - Shinobu’s Vow [Exotic Hunter gauntlets] – 13SC - The Ram [Exotic Warlock helmet] – 13SC - Invective [Exotic shotgun] – 17SC - Three of Coins – 7SC - Invective and Storm’s Reproach [weapon bundle] – 30SC, 25 Silver Dust - Truth and Heart of Gold [weapon bundle] – 30SC, 25 Silver Dust Make sure you pick up your 3 of coins and maybe some exotic shards if you need to infuse some exotic stuff to get to 400.

So Oracles are quicker. You need some more co-ordination than usual. We did tremendously badly, but I personally don't think they are that bad if we have a switched on co-ordinated team. I think not trying to forget there is snipers around the edge is one definite task to remember. Via the FG App

Well Square Enix aren't impressed by the Scorpio as they've committed to putting the Nintendo Switch as a priority ahead of this. To be honest, we know that the Japanese company likes saying shit just for the sake but it's quite a blow just after the release. Via the FG App
