I'll chuck you a fiver. Oh hang on you bought digital didn't you.....

One word for this map 'Windows!'

The inaugural Forever Gaming Rocket League is officially started! It was a tight one as well..... PlasticGaming (Rob) 6 - 1 GazzaGarratt (Lee) Nightmare start for me! Great laugh though. I'll post a table in the thread once we have a couple more results.

Let's see if we can get the first mini league game in before RB6 tonight!

Haven't got time to sort copy paste on mobile right now, I'll do it later if no one can do for me in the meantime. Looking forward to seeing the graphical differences if I'm honest.

The demo is live today so I'm going to download it later and give it a bash at some point. Let's use this thread for initial thoughts

Damn Steve, I envy your DIY and OCD talents.

That's a steal. Tbh you're making me think to reinstall it. I also set up a FG club so i can invite you in (it means you can all the club races then).

Honestly Gary, you should look to pick up DriveClub. You'll probably get it for a fiver now and it's one of the most supported games due to it's shite release. It's widely known to big driving gamers as a pretty decent game (now). Also, Need for Speed is pretty arcadey, really easy to get into and you will always feel like you're progressing through the game.

Erm, we wont need to pull out of a hat if your partner is a bot!

Wow. Can someone tell me what enjoyment you'll get out of just walking around, clicking a button and you don't see anything. This Pokémon craze feels like it's going to crash and burn within 12 months. ---------------------------------------------- Nintendo launches its long-awaited Pokémon Go Plus device on Friday 16th September. That's next week! The Plus device is a little clip-on Bluetooth accessory that vibrates when a PokéStop or Pokémon is nearby. You can even catch Pokémon with a simple button press. Pokémon Go Plus is designed to let you play the game without being tied to your phone screen, although there's no knowing if the Plus - like the app - will also be a drain on your phone battery. The device will cost £34.99 in the UK and is available to pre-order now from Nintendo UK's online store.

That looks real nice Steve, can't believe you've nearly finished it already! What colour are the LEDs or are they multi-coloured?

Right, so let's set some rules on playing this league (again!). I think the easiest thing to do is play on your own rather than team each other up. However, I think it will be far more interesting and fun if we set the rules as 2v2 so both players get a Bot. We could just set them to Semi-Pro (I think that's the second level up) so it'll make up for loads more fun and surprises. I think its also one 5 minute game and it would be great if someone records the game highlights. Remember this is for fun and giggles but I can see this finally kicking off now! One last thing, to set up when we can play each other i'm thinking if I select a few dates in the calendar, you can click to say you will be on and we can go from there. Even if you have time for just one game, it will take 5 minutes with whoever is on with you. I'll post tables on here once we start getting some games in. You with me?!

A variation of a console I have isn't worth buying until it's years old. The current gen consoles have a good few years shelf life still. Developers won't leave the significant player base consoles for some time.

A few released pictures. I think this has serious playability. I really hope they get the game mechanics right so it's not too repetitive.

Beta is extended to this Thursday however Battlefield have tweeted "Starting today, we are simulating extreme launch situations to test BF1 servers. You may experience downtime throughout the stress test." Not sure how much gametime people will get.

Hmmm, I know the phone industry is the next big boom pay packet for game developers but I'm not sure the classic names need to be defaced by simplistic quick buck game models. (Yes, thats right, i'm sticking up for my arch enemy Mario - Sonic til I die ) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nintendo's next mobile game is Super Mario Run, an endless runner starring the mustachioed plumber. It's a well-worn genre for phone games, though Nintendo plans on releasing it for a set price rather than free-to-play (it will be a free demo initially) with ample microtransactions. Before you get too excited, know that it will offer extra in-app purchases, according to its App Store listing. Nintendo creative boss Shigeru Miyamoto took the stage at the Apple keynote on Wednesday to announce the game. He emphasized how Super Mario Run can be played one-handed, by simply tapping to make Mario jump, and how it will feature extra modes that let players compete with friends and build their own Mushroom Kingdom. As for dedicated Nintendo fans, the visual style should be familiar if you've played any of the New Super Mario Bros. games. Super Mario Run will be released in December. And don't forget about the Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing adaptations which are also on Nintendo's mobile games docket.

Just so you know guys, there's a fantastic add on with the update I was going to add but it comes with it already! If you want to mention someones name in a thread all you have to do is use the @ symbol and a quick menu will pop up: @GazzaGarratt @Diddums You should then get a notification from it (hopefully testing that now!). Really awesome alternative to quote and if there isn't anyone to quote!

H Thats great news! Thanks Moe. How is Destiny in-game chat these days? I always end up in a party chat but with only 8 being in there, you won't be able to talk to each other if there's 12. Would be great to have all 12 chat shit at the same time but my gut says it'll be just your fireteam you can speak to in-game.

Rob was extremely kind to sort all the logos and banners out for us. Rob, can you help and add a new post with the files on please? If you guys want the original logos too I can share them as well because i think they still look cool.

We should celebrate the next one in style!

As long as shoulder charge is allowed! We'll have to see what the max amount of players is in private, here's hoping we can have 12 of us in a party.

That's exactly why I love Ash. 5 wall blowouts is a great addition and divertion in some instances.

I can absolutely look to change this - will need to bear in mind it will change globally so on every thread it will go to the latest post. If people want it this way I'm happy to add it Sam. I know I currently click the thread then the >> page button to be quick. Anyone else want this instead of how it works today?
