Well, hello there! 😄 It has definitely been far too long for an update that always tries to deliver a Feel Good smile. In all honesty I did intend to do this post a few weeks ago, but time got the better of me before my holiday. Nevertheless, quite a few people have started to receive a few things in the past few months and i'll try and least some of them below so we can all see how we're helping each other with the FGFGF. Connor @JamaicanSteve has had a right ol' challenge in getting into more games, especially whilst he's been trying to find a job for a while, so we're happy that a copy of MW2019 was sent across to him to keep his spirits up and hopefully turned the corner with the job front too! 😄 . Whilst we're on the MW2019 revival across FG as we wait for the new one in October it was time that Gary @techno and Martin @Findmartin enjoyed a copy of MW2019 too to help them get involved in more gaming nights with everyone. Feel Good moments are always good when you can give gifts people unexpectedly and these two definitely deserve some Feel Good lifting too. That being said, Jordie @jordie1892 has been a class act supporting FIFA nights and helping with tournaments along the way. All the while having to deal with job interviews in a stressful place. A game he's always wanted to try was The Hunt: Showdown and now he can with a copy going to him 😄 Nick @Bluebear has been a fantastic FGer over the years and has always been trying to support the Destiny nights when he can. He's never received something from the FGFGF and its about time he did. So he can enjoy some more FG gaming nights, he's now the proud owner of Gran Turismo 7. Staying with the racing, I know since the new baby that Jason @JBR-Kiwi has had it not always his way so I'm pleased to say that he has also received a fine copy of GT7. I hope its well received and gives FG plenty more drivers to anger Greebs on the racetrack 😅 You might've also noticed that we have a certain, record breaking FG meet up In November (if you haven't, then you really need to get your name down here. Its absolutely incredible to think we're going to be getting some of the American FGers over, and we're super grateful they're coming. So much so, we're making sure they don't have to pay accommodation costs at all and if we can help with the travelling, then that's what we're going to do with @Misneach_ , @TurboR56Mini and @RenFengge. To help another American with an FG Feel Good smile, Hector @Horrible_Hector has received a voucher to get the Cult of the Lamb, something that will hopefully be right up his street. Times can be difficult whether we know it or not and I hope these little moments can keep the spirits up through the hard times. @Leeesh13 finally received his FG award, only 4-5 months later than expected due to South African postal services! But what he wasn't expecting was a special FG mug with it to keep him topped up with the gaming juices he needs to have more gaming nights with FG. To round off the little gifts from the summer months, Harold @Spacedeck has been doing his best helping others with PCs and to aide his challenges at home, especially with his space and organisation, we've managed to send him an awesome Nintendo Switch Cube storage box. We hope we can do more things like this in the coming months too as there's lots of ways we can help give people that Feel Good feeling. With all of this going on, we have more to help, more to try and find ways to give that FG Feel Good factor out so watch this space. We'll also likely try and do a monthly raffle for the rest of 2022 with vouchers for the rest of the year if the FGFGF pot allows us to do so. A huge THANK YOU for the few FGers out there helping out with an FG membership that is an amazingly easy way for us to keep finding ways to help more FGers - If you want to help other FGers Feeling Good via the FGFGF on a regular basis moving forward, please check them out here.

Happy birthday to our US veterans!! Chip for yesterday @warsaint98 and good ol' Chris for today!! @TigerBurge . Enjoy the football/egg chasing with some beers mate 😎❤️

Hmmm, storage is really a personal thing so it depends on the aesthetic you want to end up at the end too. Saving space wise, are we talking getting rid of the cases @Spacedeck ? If so, I think you start off with the hard case storage options like below off Amazon. Stores 96 DVDs/CDs and you can choose nice vibrant colours to separate perhaps games from different consoles, etc. CD Hard Case - Multiple Colours at £11.99 from Amazon If you have something like this then its just finding some nice cabinets to either show them off or not as the case may be. Do you want to show you have them or is just storing them the main thing? The manuals could follow a similar design if you want with this colourful file organiser. Would easily fit a ton of manual in it. File Organiser at £11.92 from Amazon Personally, I think you could go for a mix and match approach if most have to be in storage due to space, I think a cool feature is to have 'featured games' out on display. On Etsy, you can find people making multiple designs where it will hold a cartridge or game on show and this could be something that you can interchange over time. Personally this is why i keep game cases and I'm looking into making bespoke ones for games that I don't keep the cardboard boxes for (Gameboy, Game Gear, N64, etc), although they need more space which may not help you in this regard. An example is below (there's more from the UK with cheaper delivery) Cdmount™ CD License Plate and 8 Track Wall Frame Display & - Etsy UK WWW.ETSY.COM This Display Cases & Cabinets item by CollectorMount has 1077 favorites from Etsy shoppers. Ships from United States. Listed on 31 Aug, 2022 Pictures of each below: Gives us more details on what matters to you and maybe we can bounce some ideas around that's nearer to your interests.

Finally back buttons on an official controller from Sony. I'll wait to see how much these are before committing as it feels like its going to be a heavy price for a controller looking at it. Does look great though.

(Moved to the retro section as it felt a better fit) Tbh, the first one I loved was Wrestlemania on the Mega Drive. I absolutely loved it for the Ultimate Warrior. One of my school mates was amazing at Smackdown so I used to watch some gameplay of his but I was never really any good at the later games unfortunately. I did enjoy how fleshed out Smackdown was though. Lots of things to do on it.

I love these types of videos

Ahhh damn, not had one of them in ages. Now I want it for breakfast dammit.

Yes at some point @Ajay . I'll be getting back into now the season is out and the only gaming thing I did do on holiday was watch the Bungie stream so it pumped me up for some more Destineeeeeee after a nice break from it.

Both managers that lost 9-0 this past week got sacked the day after. Useless fact of the day everyone! 😄 Looking forward to seeing what Transfer Deadline Day will bring today.

Never once was a truer word spoken from Sir Philip of the Bottle.

Incredible games. Had Generals on PC and played the hell out of Retaliation on the PS1. Did what @slamminbones did and used to link two PS1s together with @Findmartin so we could eventually ally and try and beat the two AI against us. The missions were so well thought out and its seems crazy to think back they had ideas of two discs where you essentially picked a side depending on which disc you put in. If any game out there of old deserves a brand new game in their franchise, its this one.

Yeah, yeah, i'm back 😅 Didn't miss much then 😭 As I've got an absolute shit ton to catch up on, the only thing I've done tonight is delete some extra botty posts, delete the push notifications for them in the discord 'new post' channel and I've changed a few parts when logging in. One is Captcha, which is the security bot - we had it working behind the scenes but now its one where people will need to interact with the security application (essentially we now have the latest one available to us). Also changed the security question slightly too. I'm hoping we have a better 24 hours incoming....🤞

Arc is the one I always used to love using with Titan's, especially for PvP. It'll be intersting to see how it feels different. Its good signs when they say... I think this is why people always loved Titans and Arc ones at that. It just has to do enough to replace the OHK shoulder charge that took away alot of our fun (well, @Diddums and mine anyway) way back when it got nerfed. The challenge with all of the 3.0 new builds for Subclasses is more about how to easily understand how they work. There are some ridiculous builds out there but most people know how to work it out....including me. 🤣

Right, loved seeing these updates and reading them from both @Riff Machine and @Luseth . I'm ordering this on Amazon as I can take it away on my holiday and hopefully grab a few hours on it whilst i'm away!!

Good to know! Do we know what their TV schedule looks like yet?

This is for @Antpool84 @GazzaGarratt @Baabcat @Plumbers Crack @techno @G_dub52 @Lurch @jordie1892 @Misneach_ @Findmartin Basically select all the ones you can do. The one with the most votes will be selected. Cheers all.

Last few months of purchases for me. Neo Turf Masters is actually superb on Neo Geo Pocket Color with even a save function where you are on the course. I'm excited to play my very first Megaman experience too, likely to try it out in September after I can get past the holiday season. Oh, and I never EVER realised that the PES football game we played as kids and actual MANAGEMENT game?!?! Yep, i'm sad cos i know i'll end up loving it 😄

....meh. Disappointed, ngl. Fine if you need more time but personally all these companies just seem to be so bad at planning dates its incredible. Ofc, its completely reasonable to push it back if you need more time....I just think communications in gaming these days is just so poor. Its like they randomly drop a date they can never make to keep you interested. Just say we're not confident of a date yet and leave it as that until you are more confident as the Project Manager you can deliver safely on time. I think this tweet sums it up....just to repeat, delays are FINE. Its the comms that isn't - 2 and abit years out now from the original release date.
