Right, this will make a few people very happy because I have taken advantage of the free weekend trial and downloaded Overwatch. Now I need you lot to give me some tips so I can put my team on my back and carry them to victory like I have to do in COD. Lay your tips and tricks on me. Best characters etc

Morning lads Beautiful day out there and here I am desperately holding back the urge to repeatedly punch some of our foreign lazy ass waste of oxygen agency staff, the fuck out.

Here you go mate http://www.santapod.co.uk/calendar.php european meet would be good ones to get to if you can as it is always heaving with the big teams coming over. Yeah sounds good mate would be good to finally meet up and have a beer whilst we die from the nitros cancer fumes 😄

Yeah there's always something going on at Santa Pod. It's definitely exploded back into popularity again and the crowds keep growing. Keep an eye on the website and wait for an event with the top fuel cars in it and then he will get to experience the sight of the fast cars, the noise and the vibration/bass that goes right through you when the Top Fuel monsters go past. Plenty of the stands there sell ear protection if either of you require it so it's a good day out.

From what I understand a lot of them use jet engines that you would normally find in a helicopter and you are looking at nearly 5,500lb of force. In a full bore clean run you are looking at a speed of nearly 340mph in a quarter mile which is just insane. These are fairly rare to be honest and are usually found doing demonstration runs rather then seriously competing.
-
And so to kick this off here is a video that I took quite a few months ago at Santa Pod, featuring two of the most impressive jet engined drag cars that I have ever seen. I was lucky to see them run in the dark and the noise and power coming off of these vehicles is phenomenal!

Well as the first post onto this sub forum I thought it would be a great opportunity to start up a thread devoted to the noble sport of strapping a chair onto, effectively a big bomb and then race your fellow nutter in a flat out adrenaline fueled quarter mile at a time. As the great Dominic Toretto once said: “I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I’m free.” So for myself, I have been racing and competing since I was the age of 8, and I am now 28 so motorsport has been a massive part of my life. Now living in the midlands means that I am central to so many race tracks, and for the purposes of this thread, I actually live only 15mins from the UK's premier drag racing track Santa Pod. So I will be trying to put up as many photos as I can from things I have seen there. Feel free to contribute your own stuff! And remember.... “Ask any racer. Any real racer. It don’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning’s winning.”

To be honest having being excited as hell for the beta after about 20 or so games i feel...bewildered... IW feels like a very poorly constructed game at the moment. the character movement seems to speed up and slow down for apparently no reason what so ever. People have said that it seems like the TTK is very low but i am suffering the exact opposite. It takes me a lot of bullets to put someone down, and yet i die in a very short burst from every weapon. People who know me know that I dont suck at CoD games no matter what i play, and yet here im having real struggles just to go positive. TDM games frequently end with me having something like 10+ assists, I am really struggling to kill people... Bullets also have chased me round corners something rotten so far which is frustrating. Maps design again is another weird one. People pop up from every direction which leaves you constantly exposed. Im not sure if the spawns are mucked up at the moment but I have tired of counting the number of times i have spawned and then instantly died. Weapons are meh so far but im going to put it down to the frustration of trying to get kills. I like the idea you can grind your way up to certain weapon combos but so far i have gained near fuck all salvage(?)

Sony Gold are probably the best value for money headset ive had in recent years. Astros are great if you are playing many hours/playing competitive but the price is obviously a lot higher but its totally up to you
-
Finally got a decent score!
-
You seem rather mad Diddums
-
Hitboxes for me atm are completely screwed. Any upper chest/head shots are very hit and miss as to whether they register as a hit which means i am losing out on many 1v1 engagements. Whilst not as bad as the video that i posted on page 4 of this thread, they are in a very similar vein
-
Also what do you think is going on here...? Broken hitbox? Aliens?
-
So if we decide to start a Forever Gaming MLG squad can I volunteer my services as the SnD god? Unflappable under pressure and the best guy to overcome all odds and bring the win home for the squad? I have an example for my resume!
-
Playing with a bunch of people from the forum and the highlight of the session for me was this lovely little 5 piece
-
Massive problems with getting in lobbies atm. It just sits there doing sweet eff a until i give in and try all over again. Also having problems when the game ends and goes back to the lobby, people leave and it doesnt fill back up and doesnt put me in a new lobby until i do it myself
-
Another observation is that your aim when scoped in on a sniper is way too fast. Not sure if this is by design or a mistake but will take a long time to get used to
-
No worries. Ive PM'd him the code so fingers crossed it still works
-
Plumber check my status. Theres a spare code there for him if its still available
-
Still cant understand these fuckers that have been granted access to a game that is unreleased and you have the potential to explore and have fun yet decide to sit IN THE FUCKIN CORNER!!!!!! Its like being offered the chance with a nymphomaniac 18year old and being "nah id rather have a quick 5 second shufty with old Mabel down the road who looks like an old wrinkled avacado"!!!
-
It feels bloody good and to be honest im starting to get rather excited for it all again Pros: TTK is pretty much spot on Hit detection has been a hell of a lot better then previous COD's Good variety of weapons No more spastic boost jumping everywhere No OP scorestreaks (atm) Cons: Nades are like nukes at the moment. Still some killcams where you arent shooting in the slightest Not convinced by specialist as it stands at the moment Some major spawn killing occurs on one of the maps Too many fuckers keep backing out after just 1min of a game being played Lobby not refilling once these twats have left, often leaving you to solo it against a full team.

Okey dokey so I finished work early yesterday and went to the store to have a look. They didnt have any Sony ones left in my price range and I couldnt really spend more although their 4k TV looked amazing! One issue with the LG one; Unless I wall mounted it it wouldnt be able to sit on our TV stand because the legs are right on the edge and our TV stand is just too small. So I ended up with the Samsung one. After using a 22 inch monitor for the past month and a half this thing looks absolutely gigantic! The picture is bloody good (assassins creed looked amazing once i had set it up!), and i was quite impressed with the sound quality as well. The bloke eve knocked some money off for me as it was my first time purchasing something from them and I had come to them especially to look and purchase.
-
Yeah I did have a look at JL but Ive had past issues with them which has put me off. That was a few years ago now though so maybe its forgive and forget and try again with them.
-
I have to say (when it was working) the previous Samsung TV had great picture quality. It was just let down by some unknown inherent fault and frankly abysmal customer service. I had heard about the Hz issue but I think at that sort of price i dont think it will annoy me that much and the girlfriend wouldnt have a clue either way It was really down to the Samsung or LG so thanks for the advice guys
-
Ok after the farce that is Samsungs customer service team, over a month later they have said that I can either have a refund or an exchange for my faulty TV that i havent even had for 2 and a half months in a 12 month period. Now im just going to get a refund and buy a new TV from a more independent place that comes with a 5 year guarantee. Heres my choices http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/samsung/ue40h5000/sams-ue40h5000 http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/lg/42lb550v/lg-42lb550v http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/panasonic/viera-tx39a400b/pana-tx39a400b http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/sony/bravia-kdl40r483bbu/sony-kdl40r483bbu Which one do I go for??
