Starting to get some tasty results now. Really is much closer than it looks, even though Chelsea are looking quite strong of late. Brighton look like the surprise package this year and deservedly so. Hoping they can hold on to a European place by the end.

I've heard this is a fantastic game on the PS4, I remember when Nat @Deep_diving_in_Lake_Hyrule said it was a great remastered version to get your hands on so glad its free now!

Its funny @phil bottle cos SkillUp absolutely raves about the game so I think it'll definitely hit the mark for some people. Feels like a PS5 purchase than a PS4 one due to the graphical enhancements in it

Chris Evans (yes, Captain America) is Buzz Lightyear. Out Summer 2022. Was a little worried before I saw it, but I think his voice will fit the bill for sure.

Happy Birfdayz @Macca89 !! Have a great day pal 😎💃🧡

Ngl, i don't have a problem with it because I basically don't care. It doesn't affect me, they've not made it a big thing, only social media picked it up and then the world blew up for the 37634825628th time and in 15 minutes its yesterday's news again. If they were making it a huge thing then I might have a problem with it because its supposed to be seen as accepting, just like anyone else, but they haven't as they mentioned new specialists in their tweet too. That wallhack ability though on the specialist...damn, that feels like it'll become really annoying if that was used by nearly every enemy. They might have to think about how much their special abilities are used and tweak them so they are far less frequent.

Yes, this looks awesome! Might play on a controller but I do miss the simplicity of the early Madden games for sure.

I mean, I don't think the patch being delayed will change people's minds to hand over money for this shower of poop. Multiple patches need to be lined up if they're serious for this to work for them.

I did not know this and now I do, I wouldn't really want to invest time in it until I saw what they were gonna change it to. Tribes of Midgard is very similar in the sense it felt great to level up and try things out but before you know it the game is over and you have to restart. Not always a fan of games making you do this.

I feel you as I usually main Rein or D.Va. I thought he was already a viable pick without any change? Is his health changing at all?

No, it won't make it harder because just like now, you can access the free raids and dungeons today and you buy the relevant pack for whatever raid/dungeon you want to play. However, the newcomer thing has always been an issue for Bungie because I can foresee if you were on your own and never playing much with a place like FG, then it would be had to pick up and understand - especially if you are invested in story. The rely, too much still imo, on existing players showing new players the ropes. Good news for you Ant, is we're here to do that 😄 but that doesn't mean that Bungie should do that moving forward. As we're semi stuck in the new development underneath D2 to make it easier for new content, I think the next big jump in experience for new players will be Witch Queen in February.

In a word, no. But two things bother the Destiny community and in many ways, Bungie keep doing this to themselves. You also have to take a pinch of salt the broad Destiny community on social media and reddit because if you spent every day on there, you could probably find the next drama event 24hours later! I said a while back I would do a breakdown for what you get for your money with the upcoming DLCs. Ironically, I haven't done this yet and this point shows why. Bungie have decided to move the Dungeons to a separate pack to purchase IF you don't buy the Deluxe Edition. So, no, its not more money as what we're paying for is what you will still get....but Bungie wanting to try and be the most actively open game company completely miss the ball when it comes to any communication regarding the monetization of Destiny. The second point is more so what people are buying and what timespan it has in the game. The Destiny Content Vault which is basically a fancy name for just removing older content and bringing back old content that has been improved, really doesn't sit well with people - even if they have either a) no intention of playing old content again and b) no one really ever owns any of the game in a live service (once the server switches off in years to come, thats it. Its done). The more I think about all of this is that in reality you just have to step back as an individual and ask yourself, will you get value for money out of what you buy next in Destiny. For pretty much everyone here, based purely on time spent, it will be worth the money as you'll always have something to do every single week that is varied within one game. You can't pay for it all now? Not a problem, buy a-la-carte for what you want...just know that if you buy it all individually it will cost a little more, which surely is to be expected, right? One last point to mention. People will say its a subscription based game already so just go to monthly subs. I can agree with the idea that it kind of feels like that, but I won't endorse moving to monthly subs only. You should be able to buy what you want, when you want and not have a bank account set up (cos it isn't just adults that play it) for all the content not be accessible if you don't pay your monthly X dollars on the next payday. Plus, there's just not enough content like how WoW on PC run a proper MMO - and even then some say they don't get value every single month. I do hope they can find a way though to get back permanently some old missions from D2 so new people can experience a better story to follow and we can have some replayability in it.

I think its a great discipline to get into, not sure I have the patience for it but I'm glad you're giving it a go and have so many positives so far. Daveydave @IPSWICH HIGASHI really stands by the values of Shotokan Karate and I wouldn't expect this to be much different. I bet you're using muscles now you never even realised you had before 🤣🤣 Have you looked into the rewards you get? e.g. belts, dans, etc? If you love it already you should at least go for the first one available if you can.

Brill, thanks all so far for your replies. I'll leave it for this year but want to add it onto our Calendar of stuff to look forward to next year. @Antpool84 , love the idea of a mock up one - based on timings above, when is best to do a mock up one? Is it July ahead of August properly setting it up?

Well, first time watching Man of Steel a few days ago. Man, DC dropped the ball by losing Henry Cavill after the first few films. I've never liked Superman in previous formats over the years and because of how the character never seems to have much of a weakness but this film seemed to carry more weight about how he can be more human than superhero, which I loved. It felt like it jumped through some parts of his growing up, luckily I think there was enough of his initially birth and what happened there to him worrying about whether to officially show his face as a superhero to make up for that. Great film and such a shame we won't see him again as Superman after Justice League.

Balls 🤦‍♂️🤣🤣 When does the draft happen though? So we start looking at it in Augustm, yeah? Anyone else fancy it though next year (or this year if we still wanna do something)?

And just as you put this out @J4MES OX4D , a delay was immediately tweeted! 🤣 Feb 25th seems not far away anyway so we'll see what it brings! Also - Closed Beta link on the Tweet below. Some of us may get lucky which would be a nice early Xmas present 😄

Thanks for the advice Gary @techno , I really don't mind what we use tbh, as its for learning and fun. @Jason , what would you say is a good time to start looking at it? When does the season/draft start each year?
